Map & Owner's Profile
Heavenly Hideaway Cabin- Cozy, Private, Hot Tub
Year Purchased: 2007
Why the Owner Chose Asheville
My family home, Cloud 9 Relaxation Home, a ranch style home over-looking the Blue Ridge Mountain valleys of Fairview, just 15 miles SE of Asheville, NC has been completely updated and is the premier hilltop location for views and gatherings up to 8 people. But the cozy cabin, Heavenly Hideaway, in the woods, with a hot tub off the main driveway is where you want to be for a private couples get-away.
The Unique Benefits at this Cabin
Besides the fun of watching the sun rise or early morning hikes on Cloud 9 Farm where you can hear the cows crunching on the lush grass in the pasture, see wood ducks or a blue heron fly in to investigate Peterson pond or hike the mountain trails...besides all that, in 15 minutes you can be on the Biltmore Estate or in downtown Asheville going to an eclectic local foods restaurant or go the other way to Chimney Rock and Lake Lure for the afternoon. I recommend the scenic boat ride/dinner tour. In Asheville, you must see the Grove Park Inn and Spa for a lunch on Sunset Terrace or splurge on the spa. (But I do know some day spas, too, just ask.) Waterfalls? Ah, yes, just 40 min. on the Blue Ridge Parkway...Looking Glass Falls, but Dupont state park has 4 unique falls for a great day trip. And don't forget Sliding Rock, bring your oldest cut-off jeans to wear splashing.
Cloud 9 Relaxation Home is 2 football fields away in distance from Heavenly Hideaway cabin. That's where the mountain views are.
Just 11 miles away, the Biltmore Estate is so beautiful with flowers through the summer. I can get discount tickets for you.
Dress up and go to see this historic 1911 Inn, sit on the sunset veranda for meal or grab a rocking chair in front of the huge fireplaces with your favorite drink. Famous Gingerbread display in Novemb
I'll give you a detailed map of the hiking trails on the property when you get here.
Local foods, especially meats, cooked in creative ways. My favorite spot for brunch.
Southern food and talk about a hoppin' place with live music on a Saturday Night...whoooeeee!
My favorite micro-brewery pub and movie place. School House Ale, try it.
Full of unique, crafty shops (knitters: the yarn shop is superb) and eclectic restaurants. A great place to be on a rainy day because it's an historic 1920s indoor shopping "mall" building.
Mountain Crafts and demonstrations. It's my favorite place to take out-of-towners.
Great movie showing all the cool places on the Blue Ridge Parkway so you can decide. Huge computer graphic on the wall lets you travel the whole length of the Parkway.
They take you in an elevator through the rock to the gift shop (wouldn't you know) almost at the top so you still have to be brave to climb to the flag pole. Magnificient views. Then the other hiking
Book the lake tour with dinner on the boat. Or go the "beach" on the lake. Better yet, have your own private beach at Peterson Pond on Cloud 9 Farm.
Happy chickens give renters complimentary fresh eggs and more for purchase for your return trip home.
Handy stop for food (and CVS Drug store) on your way to Cloud 9 Farm.
Shades of blue house, you can't miss it.Fresh seafood brought up from the NC Coast.
Owner's Map of Asheville
Janet, here, your hostess at Cloud 9 Properties, LLC. You'll find me in the Blueberry Patch most of the time, because in July we have a U-Pick farm but the rest of the time I'm tending the plants. Our sing-a-long jingle on Cloud 9 Farm is "Beds, Berries, Trees, Beef and Honey Bees" I guess you're most interested in the "Beds" part, but the cows, chickens, pollination honey bees, and forestry management you might want to view because it all makes Heavenly Hideaway a unique place. I live on the farm, too.

I am very sad tonight because I'm back home (where all the cares of everyday life flooded in immediately) .... and dreaming of your beautiful mountain aerie. Heavenly Hideaway is a pretty little gem in the woods. The first second I walked in, it just seemed so perfect for us, tailor-made for our tastes, preferences, and who we are -- and the irony is, I can tell from the guest book that EVERYone who walks in the door of Heavenly Hideaway feels that way! So you've done an incredible job of creating something that appeals to all your guests. And that's not easy! Every little detail, inside and out, is much appreciated, believe me. Almost 30 years ago, I was nearby, working at The Mother Earth News magazine in Hendersonville. I'm sorry our paths never crossed back then. Now you're living the Mother Earth News lifestyle, and I am envious. Your "girls" (chickens) were delightful and I'm glad we had a few minutes to meet them. (Forgot to buy some eggs, tho...) We also saw the turkeys crossing the road on our way down. And of course, the cows. Always the cows! I don't know when or how, but we'll be back. We still have to hike Buzzard's Roost and help with the hives... Take care of yourself -- and your special spot on Earth. NOTE FROM JANET; I keep telling people that two nights is NOT enough! I await your return, you good people.

First of all, thanks so much for all of your work and dedication to yur land here. As a couple from Asheville, it is comforting to know that there are folks like you out there who are doing what it takes to preserve the land that makes this area so special. We are here celebrating our tenth anniversary by being toruists in our hometown. It has been a joy to return here to this beautiful and quiet place. Thanks also, for your suggestion to hike up to "BUZZARD'S ROOST." We were sitting there, looking out at the view, and reflecting on the fact that our substitutes at ACR Middle and High School were hopefully holding things together. We could get used to this, though! Again, thanks for allowing us to celebrate here. It has been a joy for us. NOTE FROM JANET: You locals have helped me come up with my new slogan, "A World Away in 15 Minutes" What a great idea to escape...yet be so close if needed!

NOTE FROM JANET: The girls were quite helpful in helping me feed grain to a calf that gets pushed around by the big cows. "Valentine" says THANKS!

Thank you so much for making this a wonderful extended holiday weekend. We couldn't have asked for more. Your pictures online did not even come close to doing Heavely Hideaway justice. We really appreciated the tour of the property and the history behind how it became what it is today. Not only was it the coziest place we have ever stayed and had every ammenity, but you've also thought of the small concveniences like the shopping discount cards and the drawer of candles. We are looking forward to coming back in 2009 and of course we will be recommending this place to everyone we know! NOTE FROM JANET: Gosh, you came all the way from Orlando and only stayed 3 nights! You MUST come for longer, again! Thanks for your kind words.

Happy New Year! How fantastic it was to celebrate the new year on your farm. We so appreciate all the little extra things you remembered for the Hideaway that we forgot! also you are so great with kids. Thanks for including them!! Next time maybe "Mommy and Daddy" will come alone and enjoy the Hideaway. NOTE FROM JANET: I thought it was great how you met the two other couples with kids that were your friends staying at Cloud 9 Relaxation Home. That way, by renting the Hideaway, too, you had privacy when needed...for naps, I mean!

The hike up to Buzzard's Roost was a little harder than we had anticipated, but the beauty that we found there and within each other throughout the journey will remain with us forever. Again, thank you for a vacation that refreshed our souls and rejuvenated our love. We look forward to seeing you again! JANET'S NOTE: This was the first week of October 08 and you had excellent weather for all your outdoor activities.

Thank you for offering such a relaxing getaway experience. We didn't realize just how much our spirits neede the escape and rejuvenation found at the Hideaway. Whether resting in the rocking chairs, hiking the property or enjoying the stars from the hot tub, this entire week has been even better than expected. We loved the numerous, thoughtful touches, herbs and spices, paper plates that allowed us to spend more time relaxing rather than running to the store. NOTE FROM JANET: From Ocober 08 Ah, yes, those hidden amenities...just had to think what I would like if staying at the cabin. How did you like that pepper grinder and mushroom brush?

This was just what we needed...a wonderful relaxing long weekend. You've thought of everything...even Cloud 9 Bug spray! Our dog, Abbie loved the swimming pond best of all. Thanks for the use of the baby gate to keep her on the deck. It worked perfect. JANET'S NOTE: Rental in August 08 Abbie sure did sack out in the cabin from all those hikes. Thanks for bringing old towels to wipe her down before going in.

The Cabin lacked nothing! The TV was awesome. We got to watch the debates. Go Obama! Some highlights...Biltmore, a full day and thankyou for your hint about the audio tour. My 60th birthday found us at the Folk Art Center and your suggestion to eat at Rezazs truly capped a day fabulously! JANET'S NOTE: Your border collie/black lab loved hiking, too.
