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.

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.

Amazing views, lovely property
We had a wonderful weekend. The view is phenomenal. If you want to sit on a balcony, sip wine and have incredible mountain views - you will not be disappointed. The cabin was incredibly clean, well maintained and a great space. We felt at home and highly recommend.

Faraway Skies
We have utilized Blue Ridge Mountain Rentals many times to rent multiple cabins. The process is quick and easy. The cabins are always very clean. We stayed at one of our favorites most recently, Far-away Skies. We will return!

Blueridge Mountain Rentals always goes above and beyond. I have been renting cabins (several times a year) for over 10 years. And I always recommend Blueridge. Faraway Skies was absolutely beautiful. Views are breathtaking. Cabin perfect.

Honeymoon Dream!
Had to arrive late and after dark, but Blue Ridge Rentals made it easy to get into the cabin with clear directions (which we were out of internet range so offline directions worked out great). Had a great honeymoon, hot tub amazing, views suberb, but the piece and getting away from it all was the dream :) Aaaand included internet so could still catch some shows on Netflix & Disney+ ;) Not to mention they provided basic towels, toiletries, and kitchen supplies, me and my new wife were able to cook for each other without needing to leave (except grocery shopping).

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.

Beautiful House!
Everything was perfect. Exactly what we were hoping for! House was very clean and had everything you need. Road getting up to it was single lane and could be tough with a car or if you met another car coming the other way. Other than that was absolutely perfect! Would highly recommend!!!

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!

OUTSTANDING
Outstanding weekend getaway at Faraway Skies Cabin in Zionville, NC! The cabin was impeccably clean, roomy, comfortable, and well stocked with kitchen supplies. The view was outstanding as the cabin is nestled in a quiet, remote mountain side facing west for perfect sunset views over the Blue Ridge Mountains. I highly recommend a 4x4 or awd vehicle to safely traverse the path up to this particular spot. Easy access to downtown Boone and Blowing Rock trails.
