Reset with us.

Nestled in the edges of the mountains in Transylvania County lies Skyterra Wellness Retreat, which recently hosted a fabulous night of song and dance as a fundraiser for the Ecusta Trail.  Skyterra is wellness retreat that helps guests reset from the stress of everyday life.  From humble beginnings in 2016, the retreat hosts around 30 guests each week and offers experiences and classes in five different areas of wellness, including fitness, nutrition and stress management.

For Sue Crowell, the founder, seeing people transform over a week brings joy to her heart.  Many guests return for the ‘reset’ experience and “have a timeout and take care of themselves.” She sincerely loves the act of service for her guests.  Sue continues “I am these people,” and you get a sense of how vital Skyterra’s mission is in the wellness community.

When it came to supporting the Ecusta Trail with the evening of Blue Grass, it was a no-brainer for Sue and her staff, who love local trails and the healthy vibe they bring.  The vision of a blue zone in the corner of the Blue Ridge Mountains builds upon Skyterra’s mission of bringing health, wellness, and joy to its guests.  Be on the lookout for future activities from the Skyterra Wellness Retreat.

Skyterra Wellness values the importance of the outdoors, recreation and adventure; while other
wellness retreats accommodate hundreds of visitors, Skyterra maintains a maximum capacity of
just more than 30 guests on its 155-acre campus. Additionally, the locale — a wooded retreat in
the mountains that blends seamlessly with the natural beauty of Western North Carolina —
creates an intimacy, exclusivity and sense of community that keeps guests returning again and
again.

Skyterra opened in June 2016 as a holistic health retreat. As the retreat’s reputation grows,
Skyterra remains committed to maintaining the boutique, world-class qualities that serve its
guests so well. The benefits of their approach are evident in the numerous 5-Star average
ratings from guest reviews on TripAdvisor and Google. Guests call the experience
transformative, life-changing and an excellent travel value. Additionally, USA Today has named
Skyterra as a Top Three Wellness Retreat in the United States for the past five years in a row.
Skyterra Wellness is a health retreat where adults from all backgrounds are welcome to set
