Experience an incredible and unforgettable mountain vacation when you book this 16 acre property - truly a place to get away!
We welcome you to spend your vacation at Cloud Nine Retreat, the perfect space for small events, multi-family getaways and reunions or retreats of any and all kinds.
As you enter the main house of this majestic home away from home, a gorgeous open floor plan with high vaulted ceilings welcomes you. Create everlasting memories with your loved ones while gathered around the wood-burning fireplace on the large comfy couch and stream your favorite series and movies on the large Roku smart TV. Enjoy all types of streaming on our Starlink internet!
The well-appointed kitchen with a double oven has all the essentials to prepare meals from intimate dinners for couples to extravagant feasts. There is a coffee bar complete with a Keurig coffee maker and drip-coffee with assorted K-cups and all the essentials.
Out of the back door from the kitchen, you`ll find a large propane grill and a smaller charcoal grill for all of your grilling needs. We provide propane, but bring your own charcoal for your use and please do not move the grill closer to the cabin or near the HVAC unit.
After cooking your favorite meal, gather in the dining area to feast in this spacious space. The large dining room table can be moved into different configurations to fit your needs or pushed to the side to make way for a dance floor. All of this, plus the large windows, makes for a grand time with long-range views of the mountains in the distance while enjoying home-made cooking.
If a quiet respite is what you need, climb the stairs up to the loft where you will find cozy spots to curl up with a blanket. Peruse the array of books on the bookshelf, play a game of chess or spin the globe to discover parts unknown. The bookshelf holds books for adults as well as children and board games for all. The loft also doubles as a dedicated work space with a desk, desk bench and lamp.
The main level of the main house also has a half bathroom with laundry space including a washer, dryer, iron and ironing board.
Open the French doors wide, and walk outside on the upper balcony. Breath in the fresh mountain air. Follow the trail of clouds that routinely sweep across the peaks and valleys before you. Have a seat in one of the rocking chairs or high top stools at our outdoor bar top overlooking long-range mountain views. Have a cup of coffee at sunrise or witness the changes of color in the sky as the sun slowly lowers its shadow across the land at sunset with your favorite drink in hand. This space is also perfect for small ceremonies.

10 / 10Outstanding·Jun 2025
The set up being motel style was great for all. The space was big enough for 19 and we all were able to eat together as a family. That doesn’t happen often with our group. The kids and adults played games all day literally! It was so peaceful atop the mountain, quite you truly do not get any where else. The Steadly Group were on point with all communications they are so sweet! If you desire family time mixed with alone time this place offers just that with large groups.
