Entrance and Front Yard:
There is a culvert near the entrance of the cabin's driveway. PLEASE be mindful when driving over it as it has become damaged in the past. Thank you for looking out!
We ask that guests do not utilize the front yard as we are making a conscience effort to reforest the area and have planted almost two dozen Maple tree saplings. Thank you for your understanding!
Game closet:
There is a closet full of board games, puzzles, and books. There is also a DVD player and DVD library for use. Treasure quiet mornings, afternoons and evenings sitting on a rocker or the front porch swing.

Soak in the five-person hot tub after a day of hiking and sit by the mountain to take in the breathtaking view.

The homeowners recently opened the large garage to guests for extra entertainment during their stay. Within the game garage, guests will find a window AC unit, pool table, ping-pong table, basketball game, and more! Recently added is a keyboard and stand. Guests are asked to be extra careful around the insulation as the game garage is still being finished. Any damage to the insulation or accessories of the game garage will be payable by the guest.

Skyline Cabin is located on a beautiful mountain that is 10 minutes from Elkton, where you will find a Food Lion, Walgreens, Elkton Brewery, Blue Elk Coffee shop, among others. You will have a beautiful experience in this mountain setting, enjoying the gorgeous trees and natural surroundings. Please be aware of the natural conditions of a mountain setting. The gravel road is very well maintained, and while it is normally easy to access the cabin, there are sometimes challenges that are inherent to a mountain setting. These include downed trees that may block the road, water that may overflow over the three bridges that cross the creek, ice, and snow on the road, among others. We have a team that is on call and available to handle any issues that may arise, but please be advised that we are better able to handle challenges if you check in before 8pm for us to have time to handle issues during our working hours. If you check in after 8pm, we will do our best to fix any problems in a timely manner, but this will make it more difficult to get our team to help solve the issue. Thank you in advance for your patience and please enjoy your experience in this beautiful corner of the natural world.
