Cloud 9-Log Cabin, Stunning View, Luxury Hot Tub, Gas Fire Pit, 30 min to Boone

Perched high along the mountain ridge bordering North Carolina and Tennessee, Cloud 9 invites guests to slow down, reconnect, and experience the feeling of being truly above it all.

From the wall of windows to the expansive wraparound deck, breathtaking long-range mountain views surround nearly every corner of the cabin. On some mornings, clouds drift through the valley below, creating the unforgettable experience that inspired the name Cloud 9.

Whether you’re planning a romantic getaway, family vacation, or peaceful retreat with friends, Cloud 9 offers the perfect blend of cozy mountain charm, comfort, and connection.

After a day exploring nearby hiking trails, wineries, mountain towns, and scenic overlooks, guests can return to Cloud 9 to soak in the luxury hot tub beneath the evening sky, gather around the fire table on the deck, or simply relax while taking in the stillness of the mountains.

While the cabin feels secluded and far removed from the pace of everyday life, it is still conveniently located near Watauga Lake, Boone, Blowing Rock, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and many of the most popular attractions.
