Overview ↑↓

Skyview: This log cabin perched atop White Oak Mountain, above Tryon and Columbus, offers picturesque, inspiring, and restful views as far as Charlotte on a clear day. Ideal for creating family memories. Watch the sunrise over coffee in the great room, stay to see the hawks soaring thermals, or watch the weather form below. Picnic and walk to the private lakes, Shunkawunken Falls, or the meadows which are the old ruins of President Coolidge's wife's painting and reading retreat. Shop for antiques in Landrum, thrill on the best zipline in the US, inner tube for hours on the Green River, or check out Hendersonville, Flat Rock, and Asheville. Another family favorite is Carl Sandburg's historic house and goat farm, and the hike up to Pearson Falls. BBQ or James Beard chefs in Saluda, or Skyview's dining room table seats 12, with many choices from pizza to French bistro in between. Walk to Sunset Rock to see colors and layers of Smokey Mountains that will melt your heart. Clean dogs welcome too; fenced run in back. You can have it all at Skyview!

Location: An original "sky cabin" at the top of picturesque White Oak Mountain, also the eponymous private and exclusive community developed in 1980. Located less than 10 minutes up the mountain from downtown Columbus, via scenic, winding mountain roads (fully paved the entire drive). The home is only 20 minutes from the Tryon International Equestrian Center, 40 minutes from the Asheville Regional airport, and 15 minutes from Tryon. You are also within driving distance of Greenville, Asheville, and Charlotte.

Accommodations: 3 bedroom, 2 full baths, Powder Room bath

Occupancy Summary / Sleeps in beds: 10 Max. Occupancy: 10

(PLEASE NOTE: Yonder provides linens for all beds; other occupancy will require guests providing their own linens.)

Home Truths: This is a family home and a family area. This house is only rented to families or responsible adult groups. Over 25 only please.

What You Can Expect: Skyview is a perfect gathering spot for families, artists, readers, hikers, cyclists in training, runners, families, TIEC equestrian crowd, and/or those just looking to get-away from it all. At an elevation of 3,000 feet, the cabin offers unforgettable sunrise views, stargazing, mountain views, and nature in abundance! Depending on the season, you are likely to see deer, chipmunk, squirrels, hummingbirds, fireflies, blue dragonflies, fish, frogs, turtles, and wild berries all along the road, or heritage daffodils, and rare native ferns. This is a perfect home if you're seeking time to unwind, read a book or take a slow hike and listen to nature.

Built as a mountaintop retreat from Florida summers, Skyview expanded from the original cabin to welcome more family. In the summer, the top of White Oak Mountain is 10 degrees cooler than the valley. Rainstorms under its roof are a delight; clouds roll through the mountains like a picture. Thanksgiving is perfect here! Christmas might bring a dusting of snow; you can decorate the 9 foot lighted tree with popcorn and cranberries and paper chains. In any season, as you ascend White Oak Mountain you will hear the sounds of the world fall away, replaced by the sounds of nature, the rustle of oak leave, the wind's whistle in the pines, the cicadas thrumming, or the cheer of blue birds, and then the peaceful quiet.

As you look out across the mountains, every direction could be a painting. In fact, other than Native Americans who originally settled the region, some of the first cabins atop White Oak Mountain were built by painters captivated by the light on the surrounding mountains.

Inside Skyview you'll find all the comforts of home in what feels like an airy treehouse. Three bedrooms provide ample sleeping, with plenty more room for air mattresses for overflow. A well equipped kitchen with plenty of small appliances makes mealtime a breeze. Lofty ceilings lend an airy feel to the open floor-plan. A large TV with streaming content and comfortable seating lend that “put your feet up and relax” vibe. All these comforts will feel good after a long day at the showgrounds or exploring the area. Wi-Fi will keep you connected and allow those who work from home to not miss a beat; two large tables to set up office.

Of course you are in horse country, and the TIEC. The Tryon International Equestrian Center is a year round venue located in Mill Spring, NC and is the world’s premier Equestrian Lifestyle Destination showcasing some of the top riders in the Hunter/Jumper, Dressage, and Eventing disciplines.

This property is also just a short 15-minute drive from the quaint villages of Tryon and Landrum. Enjoy restaurants, shops, and a growing small-town America downtown vibe, with festivals, farmer's markets, and other activities year-round.

You are less than an hour from America's favorite scenic byway, The Blue Ridge Parkway, motorcycle touring, biking, hiking, white water rafting, rock climbing, kayaking, canoeing, zip lining, Segway tour…just about any outdoor activity! Or, take a day-trip to downtown Asheville to enjoy the first-rate restaurants, shopping, galleries, spas, and entertainment.

Lovely house and view, but trouble with heat

Review Date: December 5, 2023

Vacation Date: November 21, 2023

"Skyview is a lovely cabin, spacious with beautiful views. We were a family of 10 over Thanksgiving, which involved a lot of cooking and the outdated kitchen made it very challenging to do so (especially the old stove/oven and microwave from the 1990s!). The listing's a bit misleading with one of the bedrooms containing a pull-out couch that is extremely uncomfortable (if you have back problems--DO NOT SLEEP ON IT! A bar stabs you in the back!). When we arrived at the cabin, it was 58 degrees in the house and we quickly discovered the heat is locked down and requires a PIN to unlock and guests have NO CONTROL over the temperature. The heat is controlled by the owner's cell phone from afar and the highest temperature they're willing to provide guests is 68 degrees in the winter! We were traveling with three elderly family members (between the ages of 83-88) and they had to wear their coats the majority of the time while in the house. If you want to be warm, be sure to bring your own portable space heater and many blankets (they only had one blanket in the entire house!). Overall, the house was clean. Lots of games, a nice TV room for the family to gather, and a great big dining room to share meals. A short, beautiful walk up to the Meadow (park) with spectacular views. However, beware of the camera on the front porch and be mindful of a neighbor who discriminates against renters and may be monitoring your every move, including the number of cars parked in the driveway, the number of dogs you bring, and false assumptions and accusations regarding theft (we were accused and reported to the HOA of stealing a sign from the top of the Meadow because according to this neighbor, we were the only renters, so it had to be us! Never mind that there were wind gusts of more than 20-30 mph while we were there, and it likely blew off. We too, noticed the sign was missing, but we didn't take it! We were appalled of this accusation!). This is a residential community, which we were very mindful and respectful of, but it is very clear they don't like Skyview being a rental property! A lot of unnecessary stress was added to our stay and though the cabin is lovely, we will not return due to how we were treated and we will NOT recommend this property to others. It's very unfortunate our stay had to end so negatively. The neighbor will be happy, but we are sad! Please note: Yonder's customer service was exceptional and professional. This review is reflective of the Skyview property specifically, and not of Yonder. I will definitely rent from Yonder again and highly recommend them.

"Our group really enjoyed our stay. The cabin is atop a mountain that requires driving on narrow, winding roads, but we viewed it as an adventure. The cabin itself is large and well equipped with everything that we needed.

Thank you Yonder!

"There is a crazy story behind my trip to North Carolina. I arrived at Skyview minutes after an apparent fire had ravaged the building, leaving me and my companions without a place to stay. We had traveled a long distance, only to arrive to an Airbnb that had been burned down. As insane as that experience was, I called Yonder and asked what could be done. In the matter of about 2 hours, the wonderful woman who had helped me on the phone had found a property for us to stay at that more than accommodated us. It ended up being MAGICAL journey and I cannot thank them enough for accommodating us in such a difficult and unprecedented situation. The new property was beautiful, clean, large, and was a perfect location. You could say we ended up lucking out! So, while I can't particularly write an honest review of Skyview, I can leave a few good words about Yonder. Thanks again for everything!

Great House for a Small Family Gathering

"We loved our stay at Skyview. The house was spacious with plenty of room to spread out and enjoy time together as well as work or focus when needed. The kitchen is small but sufficient, and the house in general is in very good condition. The nearby park maintained by the HOA (with historical significance) is just up the road and is a fantastic place to walk to, watch sunrises or sunsets, or have a picnic.
