Spruce Pine Vacations from ￥373,648

Nice but short staffed, nice and tasty breakfast, rooms could be updated.

I came to Skylarana on a solo two day getaway to relax and have some down time to myself because I have been a full-time caregiver for a while. The studio room was really nice and updated however the heating unit didn't keep whole room warm but that was resolved by a lady on staff offering a space heater which was perfect and kept the room very warm. The internet was shoty the whole time I was there and I couldn't enjoy watching TV because it was continually going in and out but there were heavy winds while I was there and I'm sure that's the reason for the internet issues, it was just disappointing because watching TV is a way for me to relax. Another way that I planned to relax was getting a massage at the spa and I chose to do the 90-minute swedish massage because I felt that deserved it however I don't feel like it was worth what I paid. I was expecting it to be exceptional but it wasn't and that was disappointing. Although the trip wasn't as relaxing and didn't go exactly as I expected, I would definitely try it again but during warmer weather because the room was really nice (but I would suggest putting a full length mirror in the studio room as there wasn't one) and I know that there would be some fun things to do. Also there was a lady who worked there and helped me a couple of times, I don't know if she was the manager or some other staff but she was very friendly and accommodating when I needed assistance and I appreciated her.

Love the quaintness of the old, feeling the seclusion, the game room, the living area. The only problem was there was hardly anybody there (which was very nice) but then when somebody did come in, they put them right across the hall (3 feet) from us.

This place was very lovely!
