This is the most well taken care of property we've stayed in. It is also very safe and peaceful. It was clean, comfortable, and well equipped with everything we needed. We were comfortable and totally satisfied with the accommodations and the environment. Brad was very responsive to anything we needed.

Semi-annual Retreat

Wonderful property. Quiet, serene, well maintained. Three guys get together for a retreat twice a year since we started with Promise Keepers in the 1990's. This property is perfect for our retreats. We have already reserved it for our Fall get together.

Absolutely loved this place, it’s beautiful. Could use a heater on the back porch lol it was windy and chilly most days but we survived lol. Overall I would definitely recommend staying here, it’s quiet and the scenery was pretty. Would go stay again in warmer weather. Thank you, Tina

Wonderful, as usual. Even cleaner than in past visits, as if that were possible. We get together for accountability sessions - and to tour the area - semiannually. There is just so much to see and do in this area. Skyline makes a wonderful home base.

Not as expected

Not for me. There were cobwebs throughout the house almost all the utensils were filthy. And the chicken process seems dated to me 95% of all the properties I ever rented have a keypad entry not a key and if they do have a key it is right there next to the lock not on the other side of the house. The second to the last day we were there Brad decided they needed to pick up the trash which should have been a 5-minute ordeal but why there he decided to do Spa maintenance so he was there for over 30 minutes. And then when we proceeded 3 hours later to get into the hot tub and we had severe skin irritations. Not sure about you but I would not want a person for 30 minutes at my rental on my vacation.

Lodge in Cedar Crest

The communication with Brad was very timely & provided everything we needed to make our stay fabulous. The lodge was prepared for us as we checked very late. Brad anticipated needs & did not disappoint. The lodge is surrounded by woods & fantastic views. It was warm, comfortable for our whole family. Kitchen was stock to cook meals. Hot tub was wonderful in the snow! Close to restaurant & groceries & hiking. We will be back !
