Map & Owner's Profile
Cloud 9-Mountain Views/Hot Tub, Come Experience Simple Living!
Year Purchased: 2004
Why the Owner Chose Asheville
I DIDN'T buy this property, it is my family home. I refurbished the mountain top Cloud 9 Relaxation Home for groups up to 8 and built Heavenly Hideaway, a cozy cabin, for couples, too. Both have hot tubs on an open deck under the stars. Just 8 miles from I-40, you can be at the Biltmore Estate, Grove Park Inn, the Blue Ridge Parkway, Chimney Rock, Lake Lure, and the waterfalls of Dupont State Forest in minutes. Quiet and private.
The Unique Benefits at this House
Asheville is just 15 minutes away for great day excursions, especially to the Biltmore Estate, but vacation renters find that they never really have to leave the farm because there is enough to do right here; hiking, enjoying the valley pond area, picking blueberries in July,or just sitting on the huge deck (or in the hot-tub)over-looking the mountains and relaxing. The layout of Cloud 9 is very outside friendly with sliding glass doors in every room to open and get that fresh mountain air. Views, views, views! Come see for yourself!
2 acres of Blueberries in June, July and the first part of August. Renters pick for free!
Quick and easy stop if you want to "cocoon" at Cloud 9 Farm.
Located in the valley farm 1/2 miles away, not close to the house at all, don't worry. Purchase honey in season from Cloud 9 's pollination helpers.
5 miles away but on your way back from Asheville. Great wine selection, too. CVS Drugstore is next to it.
Just 11 miles away, the Biltomore Estate is an unbelieveable private "castle" estate...a must-see.
Dress up and go to see this historic 1911 Inn, sit on the sunset veranda for a meal or grab a rocking chair in front of the huge fireplace with your favorite drink. Act like you own the place. Famous
My favorite micro-brewery pub and movie place. Shiva IPA beer rocks!
A psychodelic restaurant. Pretend you're back in the 70s and order a delish Calzone or pizza surrounded by brightly painted polka-dotted mushrooms.
Southern food...and talk about a hoppin' place with live music on a Saturday Night...whoooooeeee!
go to romanticasheville.com to see a video of this unique amateur event. You can bring your percussion instrument to join in, or dance, or just watch the freaky people like I do!
Micro brewing at it's best. Have you tried the Highland Gaelic Ales made here?
In the quaint Biltmore village with lots of unique gift shops to spend the day browsing this restauranteur, Joe Scully, took a pay cut from NYC to open this restaurant and create unique dishes. Try th
Great movie showing all the cool places on the Blue Ridge Parkway so you can decide where to go. Huge computer graphic on the wall lets you travel the whole length of the Parkway.
Mountain crafts and demonstrations. It's my favorite place to take out-of-towners.
An elevator right through the verical shaft of rock leads you through the gift shop, of course, the a short walk up to the top of the chimney, stacked rocks with a flag pole. Still a little scary even
Book the lake tour with dinner on the boat. Or go to the beach on the lake. Better yet, have your own private beach at Perterson Pond right on Cloud 9 Farm.
Full of unique, crafty shops (knitters: the yarn shop is superb) and eclectic eating cubby holes. a great place to be on a rainy day because it's an historic 1920 indoor shopping "mall" building compl

Homeowner Response:
NOTE FROM JANET: Many couples come for a special occasion but you came JUST BECAUSE. It's the little vacations that can really take the edge off and for a couple giggling with delight that you had "no plans' you certainly saw a lot. Come again! PS A little bull calf was born the night before you left...now named Lil' Pogue. I always name a newborn after the renter that is here!

Homeowner Response:
NOTE FROM JANET: I'd also like to share an excerpt of what Beth and Greg wrote in the guest book, "Thanks so much for all your work and dedication to your 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."

Yes, my cows love apples but I think you also have some cow joo-joo because the hired hand on the fence that day commented, "Hey, they won't even come up to me like that!"
