Window with a View
All the windows at Cloud 9 Relaxation home have a view of the Blue Ridge Mountains here on our U-Pick blueberry farm. Here is our latest update to the Blueberry Room with twin beds (or can be made into a king-size bed upon request). You can look out but no one can see in. Now… Read more »
Gryes, Do you know what it means?
I didn’t know what a grye was until, my artist friend, Robert, went on this research “vacation” to visit one. The sailing vessel, The Sea Dragon, is rounding the cape of South America. He’s concerned about the environment, too, just as much as we are at Cloud 9 Farm. We recycle plastic, glass, cardboard, paper and… Read more »
Landscape in snow
I love how the snow defines the landsacape. This is from the “big” snow on Sunday. We haven’t gotten this kind of snow in 4 or 5 years so, forget about the inconvenience, just enjoy it. P.S. – All roads are clear so you can get to Cloud 9, no problem.
Elvis has been seen at Cloud 9!

Hot Tub with a View
I love this time of year, when the leaves are off the trees and you can see a true view at Heavenly Hideaway cabin. In the summer you are completely secluded by forest but now you can see the distant mountains (and no houses). Very quiet! And if you were in the hot tub tonight…oooo,… Read more »

Winter Turkey Tracks
Wildlife is abundant here on Cloud 9 Farm even in the winter. The wild turkeys are starting to gather in preparation for mating season in late February and March which is a spectacle to see. The fanning of the tom turkey’s tail, his head change color from pink to bright red to purple…oh, so handsome…. Read more »
