I spent a week at Skyterra in late September. It was wonderful. I came home feeling steadier, stronger, calmer, grateful, aware, open and…just good. They have many and varied activities to choose from; I enjoyed the strength classes, the guided hikes, pickleball, a water class in the pool, a soak in the outdoor hot tub, yoga, and classes about sleep and about setting boundaries. The staff and instructors were kind and knowledgeable and happy to share their expertise. Most of the guests were solo travelers, same as I was. I enjoyed the healthy meals and having that time to get to know the other guests and hear about their lives. It was nice that there are only about 30 guests. I had my sweet older dog with me, so we stayed in one of the pet friendly cottages. The duplex lodges are a bit more luxurious (I had serious bathtub envy), but we had the larger screened in porch, and the weather was perfect to enjoy it. There is wi-fi, tv and a cozy electric fireplace. Nights were quiet, the bed was comfortable. For me, a pretty ideal vacation.

Skyterra was a wonderful experience from beginning to end. There is such a genuine sense of community, and the people I met during my stay were truly wonderful. I was surprised by how many guests had been there several times before, and after spending a week there, I completely understand why. The food was absolutely five-star—healthy, delicious, and something I looked forward to every day. The accommodations were clean, comfortable, and very enjoyable. There were so many classes and activities to choose from that there really is something for everyone, whether you want to be active, learn something new, relax, or simply take some time for yourself. What stood out most to me was how well cared for I felt throughout my stay. The staff created an environment where I could truly focus on myself and enjoy the experience without worrying about anything else. I highly recommend Skyterra. It was exactly what I needed, and I will definitely be back!

It’s a choice to be happy Sometimes you need to runaway. Alone time, no judgement time, health check, longevity advice. Whatever, I searched and found hundreds of extreme diet, yoga and rock climbing offers. Everything changed when I read the reviews for SkyTerra in Pisgah National Forest, North Carolina. I shared my experience with a college friend who lives very far away. We met again here. At SkyTerra we get pure comfort accommodations ❤️ and 3 meals your body (and you) are going to love. ❤️ After that, SkyTerra offers the strength training, hiking, yoga, longevity classes and everything else YOU CHOOSE to Be Happy. ❤️ Your new friends may arrive with baggage you’ll never hear about or with the anticipation of a return visit. You will arrive with the promise of welcome and what you need to Be Happy.

Transformational! I was in need of a reset - body/mind/spirit. Skyterra delivered and then some! The campus is beautiful, private cottages are comfortable and well-appointed; and the staff are knowledgeable, professional and care about each guest. They truly 'meet you where you are'. Their carefully curated itinerary (workouts, classes, activities) was exactly what I was looking for. I was there for 2 weeks and was pleasantly surprised with the outcome and behavior modification I was able to embrace and easily put into practice when I returned home. If you trust the trainers, and put in the work, you will see results! The culinary team is awesome - the meals were plentiful, balanced and delicious; and they cater to allergies and preferences. I can't thank you all enough for a wonderful stay. I hope to make this an annual gift to myself.

I never dreamed that one week would benefit my wellness so much. I was the lucky one that won this trip from their yearly giveaway. Prior to my stay, I would have never invested so much time or money on myself. Before my check-out day, I was already looking to extend my stay and book again. You cant put a price tag on your wellness! They have thought of EVERYTHING to create an environment that is welcoming, healing and rejuvenating. Staff is friendly, helpful and they really care. Best massage I've ever had too! The private cabins are comfortable and feel like home. Campus is beautiful and well cared for. The pool, exercise rooms and main lodge were always clean and maintained. Food was delicious! So good that I've came home and tried to cook many of the same meals I ate while there. The classes provided are educational and interesting. Things I never really thought that tied into my wellness, but have helped me since. Other activities such as pickleball and hiking are fun and give a nice break during the days. Especially fun enjoying them with the new friends I made during my week there. This made it feel like adult summer camp! I left feeling refreshed. My mind, body and soul got the rest it needed! Brought home tips for keeping myself healthy and a new outlook on life. Thank you to the staff! I can not wait to return!
