SkyFall 3BR 2.5BA Eco-Friendly View Home near Blowing Rock
If long range mountain views are what you are seeking, seek no further! This house has an interesting history, is environmentally friendly, and has amazing views throughout the entire house! With 3 bedrooms and a magnificent covered deck addition, there is plenty of room for a family gathering, or friends looking for the perfect mountain get away! Skyfall's owners are pet lovers and extend a warm welcome to your canine family members.
SkyFall is a two level home that features the living area, dining and kitchen, and master on the second level with original art throughout the home. The house was designed with large viewing windows throughout with jaw-dropping views of Misty Mountain, Asheville, Grandfather Mountain and even Charlotte on a clear day!!! You will love the open area concept for entertaining and being around your family and friends, but never having to sacrifice the view!
Skyfall, with a unique "duo-decagon on top of an octagon" design, sits at the top of Fair Mountain and is situated so that the Eastern Continental Divide runs right through the living room. The home was built in 1984 "off the grid." The house was self-sufficient. Solar panels on the south side provided hot water, heat and electricity. The solar panels are no longer present, but SkyFall continues to minimize environmental impact. This home is warmed by "hydro-heat," has 12 inch thick walls, and cools itself by venting hot air through the central skylight, drawing in cool air mountain air from below. There is no air conditioning unit in the home.
Skyfall is furnished and decorated nicely and oh, so comfortable! The living area has plush furniture, a gas log fireplace and a bar. The kitchen boasts granite countertops, new appliances, and all of the essentials you will need. Off the living area is the master bedroom with a king bed and newly remodeled private bathroom with a shower.
The downstairs has 2 additional bedrooms with a jack-n-jill bathroom as well as a laundry room. One guest room has a queen bed and the other guest room features a queen bed and a set of twin bunk beds! Both bedrooms have flat screen smart tvs where you can log into your favorite streaming apps. You Tube TV is available in the family room. TV sound plays through the Sonos home theater system and when no one is watching TV you can stream music through the system.
Outside is really where this property comes alive! SkyFall's has a large covered porch with connected walkway to the Grandfather Deck. The Grandfather deck features new patio furniture and a gas grill. The covered deck has on the entry side has ample seating areas, a large dining area, wood burning fireplace (firewood not provided).
A cozy fire pit and Adirondack chairs are available on the lawn overlooking the breathtaking mountain view! The property is newly landscaped and a portable hammock can be used for lounging in nature as its finest!
A quiet area for meditation or tea in the morning is located about a 3 minute walk below the awesome rock outcropping down from the Grandfather Deck on the west side of the house. There is a not-so-well marked pathway that begins at the back side of the house so you'll have to wander a bit to find this treasure.
The owners own the 15 acres that surround Sky Fall so you will have complete privacy. With views and privacy like this we know you won't want to leave when you get here!!

A special treat
Sky fall is a special place. With expansive views to the south and north, it is just a treat to sit and stare at the views. The home was very well provisioned for home cooking and the furnishings were very comfortable. 9 minutes to Blowing Rock.

Amazing
We enjoyed our stay at Skyfall very much. It was easy to access off of 221. The views were amazing. It was very quiet and relaxing. The only disappointment no TV in the Master Bedroom. I would stay at Skyfall again.

Above it all!!
We have been vacationing in Boone/Blowing Rock for ten years and this is the best property we have ever rented! At previous rentals, I always looked up at higher properties and wondered how their view was...but now having stayed at Skyfall, I know! It is THE BEST view I have ever experienced. The owners have furnished Skyfall with quality kitchen furnishings, everything we needed was there. The place is so well equipped, we felt we were staying at a friend's house and not a rental. The cleaning service they use is top notch - my wife said there is not a spec of dust to be found. The lay out of the property is perfect as situated - you can see the sun rise and set from the living room with the spacious windows. You are at the top of your own private mountain - and the owners have also landscaped/cleared trees so you can see Grandfather Mountain to your west! I sent pictures to friends and everyone of them asked for the listing....now I am afraid Skyfall will always be booked, because we intend to come back again and again! My wife and kids said we can never stay anywhere else, we have been spoiled by Skyfall! Thank you to the owners and cleaners!!

Beautiful NC views
So happy we picked Skyfall for our annual trip to the mountains. Cabin could not have been more perfect. The weather was somewhat uncooperative during our stay so there were several days when fog and haze limited our view, but on the clear days you could see for MILES. The picture window in the living room was like a living painting. We enjoyed every aspect of the cabin during our stay with our two shepherds.
A couple quick notes about the property:
You definitely NEED 4WD for the driveway in inclement weather. Thankfully I’m a very experienced driver (rented a 4WD but the rental company pulled a last minute switcharoo due to a recall) but the final 50 yards or so of the driveway are very steep and can be slippery. The outside entry stairs can also become a tad slippery during inclement weather.
For those traveling with pets, be advised that the cabin is at the top of the mountain as described and the grassy spaces are limited. There’s a couple steep drops near the edges so you definitely want to keep any pets on a leash.
The cabin does have great cell service and fast WI-FI, unlike others we’ve stayed at in the area. This may be a pro or a con depending on how good you are at disconnecting on vacation, but we appreciated it because it made picking activities in the surrounding areas much easier when plans changed due to weather (Skyfall is convenient to most of the attractions in the greater Blowing Rock/Boone area so there’s plenty to choose from).
Overall, we can’t recommend this cabin enough although we selfishly want to keep it a secret for the future.

Amazing views and unmatched comfort
The house is extremely comfortable and has amazing views all around. The amenities (fully stocked kitchen, high speed internet, cable tv and TVs in all the rooms) made our stay very comfortable. The seating and fireplace on the outdoor porch was our favorite feature. We enjoyed stunning mountain views in all directions. The owner even setup a trail down to the small creek at the base of the mountain, painstakingly marked by trail flags so even the most inexperienced hiker can navigate.
Highly recommended for families or couples looking for a quiet getaway. 10/10 - we are already planning our next stay at SkyFall.

Weekend getaway
This property has some of the best long range views of anywhere we’ve stayed in the area. The house is comfortable and stocked with everything you could ever need to have a great vacation. Only drawback was, the gas grill was filthy when we checked in (on a Wednesday) and supposedly there was a person that was coming on Thursday to clean it. He never showed, and I called the property management to make them aware. They said they’d check on it and never called me back. I ended up cleaning it myself. Other than that minor issue, everything else was great.
