Description Description
Welcome to Faraway Skies! This beautiful cabin sits just 20 minutes north of Boone and offers unforgettable views from the deck! On a clear afternoon, soak up the stunning view of the Blue Ridge Mountains and in the evening, enjoy an evening under the stars while you sit by a campfire. 

The living room offers a gas fireplace, beautiful vaulted ceilings, a cozy couch, an over-sized chair, a flat screen TV and deck access. Just behind the living room is the fully-equipped kitchen with all the tools necessary to prepare a great meal. This open concept makes this area the perfect place for all of your friends and family to gather! There is a dining table that seats 4 and 2 stools at the bar.

Both bedrooms are on the main level of the home, which is about 15 steps down from the front door entrance. One bedroom has a king bed and a full bathroom with a tile shower. The other bedroom has a queen bed. The second bathroom is just outside of this bedroom, in the hall. Upstairs, you will find two more twin beds in the loft along with another full bathroom. The outside grounds are likely to be your favorite feature of Faraway Skies. Just a short walk from the deck you will find a hot tub as well as a fire pit. Another perfect area for the family to spread out and enjoy the cool mountain evenings. 

Faraway Skies is the perfect cabin to call home whether it be summer, fall or spring! The road leading to this home is gravel, and there is enough parking for 3-4 medium size vehicles. There are no immediate neighbors which offers total peace and quiet for you to relax - away from the everyday hustle.

We so enjoyed the Faraway Skies cabin. Area was so beautiful and very private. Exactly what we wanted and perfect to unplug after hiking or skiing.

My family stayed at Faraway Skies for a week and loved it! The amenities and beautiful views were great, as well as the fun activities available within a 15 min to 1 hour drive.
The hosts were responsible to all questions. We would definitely be interested in staying there again!

Comfortable & Clean with a Great View
The cabin was just as advertised except the views were better than expected. Everything was in good shape and very comfortable. The communication prior to arrival was very good and helpful. A 4WD vehicle is definitely needed for this drive as strongly recommended. Checkout procedures were clear and easy. I would stay here again.

Relaxing and private getaway
We had a very relaxing time. The house was clean and the provided towels, kitchen and bath items were just what we needed for a weekend without having to worry about bringing things from home. The hot tub was the perfect way to unwind without having to worry about neighbors or passing vehicles spoiling the view of the wooded surroundings. We enjoyed peaceful birdsongs with tea and coffee on the deck in the mornings and unwinding with a beverage while gazing at the sun set over the mountains in the evening. The drive up was as described, but definitely doable in our SUV. We would certainly make a return trip.

The house was as advertised. The porch needs attention from cutting and trimming a few trees to better furniture. But other than that a great location. I will rebook it

Girlfriend and I and Dog stayed here over the weekend for memorial day for a little weekend get away. Would definitely come back, place was beautiful great view like the picture shows, Outdoor fir pit and Hot tub was a great amenity as well as the the grill that it shows in the pictures but got there and the igniter to start the grill had been broken so unfortunately couldn’t use the grill but other than that had a great stay. Very peaceful and very quite.

We are currently here renting the cabin, views are wonderful and house is very comfortable and clean, overall we are enjoying the place and would gladly recommend it, we also met a wonderful Labrador named Lady that belongs to one of the neighbors, she roams a lot around the area and has come a few time to say hi to us, we fell in love with her 😀 , we are going to miss the views and this beautiful dog when we live

The cabin was clean and quiet. We had some troble with the heat but the property management was very responsive. A better coffee maker would be nice. Other than that we had a good family time. Thank you for sharing your cabin with us.

Enjoyed our stay
We had a really fun girls weekend. Much needed. House was clean and perfect. View was perfect. Hiked Elk Knob summit trail, which is close by with great views. Easy drive into Boone for dinner. The only con I can think of would be the low shower water pressure. Not a deal breaker, though. Would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful family weekend
We enjoyed our stay at Faraway Skies. It was our first family weekend at App State with our oldest. The cabin was wonderfully clean and well appointed. Wonderful view in the morning. It was far enough out of Boone to avoid some of the craziness but close enough to be a quick ride down the road to get to campus. Thanks again for a wonderful stay.

Quick Family Mountain Trip
We took a very last minute trip to the mountains before school started for our kids. The view is stunning, we all enjoyed the hot tub and it was close to the river rafting and Boone! We liked it was a private community and while it is on a gravel road we didn’t have any issues. Would recommend!
