The history of Skytop is entwined with the grand estates and resorts that once drew visitors seeking solace and recreation in this mountain haven. While those days of sprawling Gilded Age tourism have largely receded, echoes of that era remain in the architecture and the enduring commitment to preserving the natural splendor.
