Our host was very accomodating making sure everything was just perfect for us. They made sure the driveway was plowed during a 12" snow making sure we had a safe time. All the video systems were set up for easy access to our personal apps which clears out access upon our checkout date. And the hot tub was nice and hot even during the cold winter months.
This was our third stay and each has been a great place to enjoy an incredible Mountain View, relax and disconnect in a quiet and comfortable space. The hot tub at sunset was fantastic. Already looking at next year dates to stay again.
Julie and Mark are outstanding hosts, this is the most beautiful cabin we have ever stayed in. The view from Cloud 9 is stunning and the sunsets will take your breath away. It was a five star resort experience for sure. We will be back to see the different seasons.
The property is in a great location that is secluded and feels like you're in a place all of your own. Beautiful views of the mountains wether you are replacing on the porch, in the hot tub, or in the cabin. There is wineries, OHV rentals, and the lake all close by (about 30 mins) to add your stay. We wish we were able to stay longer than we did! Loved it.
The view was amazing and cottage was good for just us and our dog. Everything you need to cook and other unexpected things like charges by beds and extra pillows and blankets. Will definitely come back. Very remote but that is what we wanted. Host very responsive !
The cabin is absolutely beautiful and the views were even better. The cabin has every thing you could want for a quiet get away with family or your special someone. We so enjoyed ourselves, we spent most of our time at the cabin instead of exploring the communities around us. We will consider this cabin again for our yearly trip to the mountains. I thank the home owner for sharing his little piece of paradise.
Amazing view, roads paved, great communication with hosts when needed. My family rents a cabin 2-4 times a year. Typically I try not to get my hopes up as the pictures make properties look better than what they are. I am more than satisfied with cloud 9 cabin. Pictures cannot do this place justice! The view is perfect. 2 king bedrooms was nice for two couples and the loft was great for our children. Would not hesitate to stay here again.
What a wonderful week! I’m almost ashamed to tell you that we arrived on Saturday afternoon and never left the property until the next Saturday morning! And then . . . my husband looked at me and said, “I can’t believe a whole week has gone by! It seems like we just got here yesterday! I don’t want to leave!” The house was so comfortable and the view was stunning!
Cloud Nine was a dream. Several mornings we awoke, surrounded by clouds and fog, only to see them slowly dissipate and reveal beautiful mountains and serene valleys. The cabin was outstanding! It is great for a family, an extended family or two small families. It is equipped with everything you would want, and the cabin has high end appliances. The kitchen is well stocked and the interior well decorated. I inquired about a firepit prior to reserving the cabin and the next thing that I knew, one was provided. It wasn’t a basic wood burning firepit, but an elegant propane firepit placed on the deck to take advantage of the outstanding views. The exterior has a hot tub, grill, firepit, etc. and the views are spectacular Julie, the host/owner was delightful. She responded quickly, thoughtfully, and graciously. We felt like welcomed guests. I’m not sure if we will be making it back to Mountain City, TN. However, with a host as gracious as Julie and cabin as spectacular as Cloud Nine, it may be worth the trip.
Several road changes and winding roads as one might expect to a mountain top cabin – absolutely wonderful views and (mostly) comfortable accommodations. In reading the rest of this review, keep in mind that our visit was in July, the warmest month of the year. The one thing we did not take into account in booking this cabin devoid of shade, was the western facing cabin became much too warm as early as 9am. due the massive glass windows. We tried shutting the blinds, but to no avail. We also brought the air conditioning fans that were placed in the bedrooms to the living room, but they were not strong enough to cut the heat, Simply put we were not able to use the gorgeous open space living room much of the time The temperatures were much different in the bedrooms where the air conditioning made it almost too cold to sleep at night. We found that if we closed the register in the bathroom that mitigated some of the cold. However, despite all these temperature challenges, we enjoyed our time there immensely, and everything else is well appointed. Hot tub was wonderful, We cooked out almost every night. Overall, truly magnificent experience!
Julie is very personable and accommodating ! Her property leaves no detail behind and offers a clean, cozy , and welcoming atmosphere. We went to celebrate our new engagement and had a wonderful experience! We will definitely be repeat visitors! Thank you , Julie for sharing your beautiful home with us
We met my Parents for an early Xmas. This property was wonderful and the host Julie was absolutely fantastic! Great communication and SO helpful. We would definitely book with her and her husband again!
This was our second stay at this cabin. And it was just as great this time. Very cozy with the fireplace and an awesome view. Even though it was cold outside we were very warm and comfortable inside and could admire the mountains. We will definitely be returning next year.
