Above the Clouds | Log Cabin, Hot Tub & Views!

"Above the Clouds" is nestled among 7 acres at the very top of Gateway Mountain. This authentic, three-level cabin is approximately 2,000 square feet, with stunning views from every room and the enchanting smell of pine throughout. Watching the lights come alive in the valley below and marveling at the colors of the mountains slowly changing as the sun sets will only further the feeling that there's no place like being "Above the Clouds."

PLAN TO ARRIVE DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS THE FIRST TIME. To get to this gorgeous cabin, you will have to navigate steep mountain roads with some twists and turns. The last part of the drive is a gravel road, so having a 4WD or AWD vehicle is REQUIRED. Getting there is part of the adventure!

Weekend getaway
My wife & I, along with our two dogs, enjoyed the isolated and peaceful setting. The view is breathtaking. The house was super clean and beautiful inside and out. Highly recommended to anyone looking for first class accommodations.

The house was beautiful and the views were breathtaking. You do need 4WD to make it up the hill but once you get there. You will be impressed!

Great time here, did not want to leave the property once we arrived as it is a little precarious going up and down the mountain (particularly in rainy weather). Cabin was clean and views were better than advertised.

Great cabin just as advertised
Our family of 6 had a great time in the cabin. 4 wheel drive is a necessity as described in the cabin listing. We loved the area hiking and access to Asheville.

MothersDay Staycation
Wonderful views, quiet and plenty to do with a hot tub, pool table, fireplace and Tvs. Would like to have seen the screen porch cleaned. My wife spent 45 min cleaning the table and chairs so we could use the area. We understand the pollen but it was fine all weekend after she cleaned. Major concern is the fridge. Its unusable. After the first night we had to go to the store and use coolers for food and threw out $150 worth of food that smelled and/or tasted like fish. The food that we didn't use we threw out when we got home for the same reason. Loved the stay and would stay again apart from the fridge issue.

Definitely Above the Clouds
The home and property is beautiful and just as described. The views are amazing. It's quiet and serene. Check-in was easy, property management company very responsive and home was very clean and well appointed. Take heed to the requirements for 4wd. The drive up the mountain is beautiful but not for the faint of heart, especially when using the Sally Gap Gate. Bear Mountain Road is pretty well worn/washed out, as is the driveway, so try to be prepared for a heart racing entry and exit. Couldn't have asked for a better stay or location. Just hated the ride up and down the mountain (and we are very experienced mountain vacationers)

In the clouds!!!
My husband and I love visiting the mountains and we are always traveling to different locations. This cabin by far had the best view we have ever experienced. Almost every evening was spent relaxing on the deck, star gazing, and enjoying the view. We definitely will be back.
