Here Are A Few Kind Words From Our Previous Guests:
“Gorgeous, peaceful, comfortable house …. We had an amazing time!

Will be back for sure .
Thank you for sharing your piece of heaven.” –Raya
“We had a fantastic stay at Skyhouse. This home is so comfortable and the scenery is absolutely amazing. We had a great time walking into the national park as well as walking through the garden and lighted path. This is a home that is so well manicured and taken care of. We had such a great time that we didn’t want to leave. I highly recommend skyhouse for your next trip. It will not disappoint! Thank you for a great stay.” –Devon
“Wow! We were looking for a beautiful secluded, private house and this place did not disappoint! The scenery was outstanding! If you're an early bird, the sunrises are simply surreal. The hiking from the backyard was fabulous, straight in to the national park. We mainly stayed at the house, only venturing out a few times, because we didn't want to leave our serene oasis in the desert. We cooked most meals at the house. I was very impressed that all the extras were provided, baggies, food wrap, chip clips, spices, coffee, olive oil, honey, sugar, teas, etc. They even provided clothes washing detergent, plenty of paper towels and trash bags. The kitchen was well stocked, all we had to do was get the food items. I have stayed at some Airbnb's that only provided a few things, and you had to go buy a whole container of something you only needed two out of the whole box. The town is not the attraction here, the house and setting is! If you need to recharge yourself this is the place!” —Cara
