We have just returned from a week long stay at Cloudland Cottage! It truly is an amazing place. We were looking for a place to unwind, enjoy the outdoors, and this place did not disappoint. We love to hike, so we took full advantage of all the trailheads nearby to hike on the AT. There are so many choices! The cottage itself is nestled in the mountains, and the view from the back porch, or the large window in the front room, is spectacular. Ann, the owner, has furnished it with whimsy and fun. She hand painted many of the pieces, and you will immediately feel at home. Because our main focus was to hike and relax, we loved having a full kitchen available. It is well equipped with not only eating dishes, but pots, pans, cutting knives, etc. We also had access to pantry items, which was great. We enjoyed being able to sit on the deck across the road. It it right near the creek, and is the perfect spot to enjoy a glass of wine after a long day on the AT! Roan Mountain is a beautiful place, with it's own magic. Ann is a generous host, welcoming us with a wonderful basket upon our arrival. If you have any questions, she is readily available via e-mail or text. She also is happy to give you ideas of where to explore in the area for what interests you. We look forward to coming back to this area, and would definitely rent Cloudland Cottage again!!!
