I am not one to write a bad review. That being said the property wasn't well maintained and I get it, it's a cabin. The thing making me give this 2 stars is that there was mouse feces on the kitchen counter and windows . We were staying with our 4 young children and left immediately upon finding . We were refunded for the trouble but the property made it known that since it's in the woods their isn't much more they can do but clean up the rodent poop because with old cabins in the woods there will be rodents. We stayed in the family cabin. The view was beyond beautiful and the bed was nice but stay at your own risk.

Incredible views, beautiful huge patio with nice patio furniture. The room was clean and pleasant.
The property is not brand new, but there were no broken furniture or dirty carpets as mentioned in earlier reviews. There was no carpet in the room.
The place has more of a Bead and Breakfast feel than a hotel. The Hostess was very kind and knowledgeable about the area and gave good recommendations for meals.
We enjoyed our stay, thank you!

Overall my family and I had an amazing time and made Great memories.

Pros; location, proximity to restaurants and entertainment was prime, scenery was incredible. Cabins had plenty of room and were supplied with anything you could think of! Staff was super hospitable, just a great experience.

Cons and I have a hard time writing this; some of the carpet and cloth furniture was dingy. Maybe replace with hard floors and update fabric furniture to vinyl for easy cleaning and an Updated look. There were some hairs that were overlooked in the bathroom. I ended up cleaning it.

The Skyview Inn overlooked a beautiful scenery of the city and sky. Truly what makes this stay worthwhile.

As far as breakfast goes- the credit didn’t benefit us as it only is available on the weekends.

We stayed in suite #103. It was easy to park, and easy to access/locate. Check in process was simple, no lengthy interaction was had.The room has minor essentials: bedding, soap, small set of dishware and keurig coffee maker with some pods and packets.

The room was clean, but as we entered (and multiple times thereafter) the kitchen sink would gurgle and the smell of sewage would arise. We also quickly noticed the futon bed at the end of the king bed was crazy wobbly to sit on (by the night of day one it collapsed in the middle). This was obviously not a new issue as it only had one peg strategically placed to keep it upright. We told the innkeeper about both issues. We were told it’s on the fix list and it happens when the laundry room is used. The king bed squeaks with any movement. We also noticed the chairs outside pop apart so easily. I think it’d be unsafe for a guest over 200lbs.

All in all: we might consider staying here again, but would request a different room with undamaged and useable equipment.

As a hospitality host myself I understand how hard it can be to upkeep, but price/amenities should match.

Again, the view is amazing. That alone makes it worth it.

It’s a nice cabin- like feel from the outside with stunning Mountain View’s. Got upgraded to the “retreat suite”. Once we walked inside we were like … ooohhhh my!!!! The suite needed a lot of work. The tub wasn’t clean, mold around the tub and the shower was horrible. It ran out of hot water pretty fast. I’m pretty sure the body wash was shampoo. I removed several beetles out of the unit. The couch was dirty and ripped. A lot of the furniture was dirty and dusty which isn’t good when you have an asthmatic kid with you. Couldn’t stream anything since their internet was unstable. Kept cutting out. The patio was spacious but not cleaned and the patio furniture seemed abandoned, so couldn’t really hang outside. On the bright side, the staff was nice, the beds were comfortable and sheets and towels looked and smelled clean. Close to Santa’s village and lake arrowhead village. I honestly wouldn’t stay there again though.

They are a cute family business and super nice folks with extreme friendliness great hospitality and you feel like you are home.
Our room view was beautiful matching the place name truly.
The room is pretty spacious with a cute kitchenette and essential utensils. The issue with the kitchenette was that we could not put any food on the counter surface cause we saw ants on it so we have our snacks on the table and in the closed bag of ours or in the fridge.
The sheets are very clean and smells pretty good.
The bathroom was just ok we spot a few dead insects in the bathroom but since we were in the middle of the forest we expected that so it was fine.
The shower was really great but the water pressure was pretty low compare to the kitchen mostly when you turn the water temp up.
The in room Jacuzzi was fun and it was very clean.
The heater was not working so they gave us another one.
The carpets are not really clean but understandable again.
There was no phone in the room so basically you have to go to the reception when you need something or just call their number with your cell.
The main reason im not giving a higher star is basically because we saw a rat coming down of our fireplace on the 2nd night and they were full so they could not offer us any other room and we had to drive back towards home at 10 PM. cause i could not sleep where i know there is a rat.
They refunded us for that night but it changed our next day trip plan as we wanted to explore the area more next day.

Disappointing Stay - Not What We Expected

We were excited to stay here after seeing a 9.4-star review on Expedia, but our experience was far from what we anticipated. This place is advertised as a cabin with four bedrooms, but it’s actually three bedrooms a loft with beds and a living room. We should have paid more attention to some of the lower-rated reviews.

The first red flag was the strong sewer smell we noticed while on the terrace. When we got to the room, we saw holes in the sofa, which was extremely outdated, but didn’t think much of it at first. However, that changed at 11:30 PM when my daughter screamed, and a mouse ran from underneath the toilet, between my legs, and hid under the bathroom cabinets. Upon further investigation we saw the mouse hole and droppings.

Other issues were hard to ignore. The AC unit in the master bedroom was surrounded by plywood, and the electrical wiring in the guest bathroom was exposed outside the drywall, though I assumed it might just be how places look in the mountains. The location did offer a nice view of city lights, but it’s right by a busy street, so the noise was constant.

I’m not saying all the rooms are bad, but this was our experience, and unfortunately, it didn’t live up to the hype.

I contacted Expedia and it got our money back. But that's not the point. We drove in the middle of the night back home spending 3h in traffic due to lines closure. My birthday was ruined and so was my family time. No refund for that.

We loved the convenience to Dogwood Campground where my family was camping. Buuut... the AC unit in our room WAS NOT technically a window unit. It's a portable evaporator unit with an exhaust out the window and an overflow tube inside a 5-gal bucket to catch the water draining. It was so LOUD so we had to turn it off when we slept. But then it got so hot in the room, we turned it on again at 4:00 am! Our room faced the street and you can hear the cars very early in the morning (off Hwy 18) - there's no sleeping in at all. The mirror in the bathroom is in the wrong place. The room wasn't cleaned well. We found a dirty kleenex tossed behind the night stand when we had to plug in the light which was NOT plugged in. However, the bed was super comfortable! Parking was a breeze. Host was nice.

Lives up to its name

We stayed for one night for a wedding nearby, and it was perfect. Convenient parking and beautiful views right outside our window. The only improvement would be air conditioning in the room - they did have a fan that kept us cool, but I can see it being an issue on longer trips with hot weather. Would recommend this stay.

A-frame family cabin is nice except wifi

We stayed in the A-frame family cabin. When we arrived, the check in was easy. However, it took us a while to find the welcome folder in the kitchen cabinet which was supposed to be left on the counter or prominent places.

Then we tried to login to the wifi network, the login was fine, but the wifi was not connected to the internet. Upon investigation, we found that the coaxial cable connecting to the modem was bent and broken. The back of the modem where it was supposed to connect to the cable was just a hole. So we basically didn't have wifi service.

The rest of the cabin is not bad, especially the night view of the valley lights was awesome. If wifi wasn't an issue, it would have been a very nice place.
