Our Military Connection

Our family is a three generation Marine family. From WWII to Okinawa to recently served tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan. In fact, we can trace our family tree back to the Civil War AND the Revolutionary War.

Family patriarch, Vernon A. Peterson, joined the Minnesota Marine Corps Reserve in the early 1930s. Trained as a pilot, he was hired by Eddie Rickenbacker for Eastern Airlines. Called to active duty at the beginning of World War II, Peterson spent thirty-one months in the western Pacific (Solomon islands) starting by setting up a radar station monitoring the signals of Japanese enemy planes. He also used the equipment to pinpoint where American planes had been shot down so rescuers could get to them. In the later part of his tour of duty, Peterson was the personal pilot of a General in the South Pacific. A daring rescue mission under Japanese fire near Munda in 1943 is a story the family begged to hear over and over again. For any guest interested, we share the original documents.

Returning from war, he continued as a pilot for Easter Airlines. Upon retirement from the Marine Corps Reserve, Peterson received a promotion to Brigadier General.

Then seeking a “Cloud 9” to retire to, he and loving wife moved to the Blue Ridge Mountains and created this peaceful spot where pilot and military friends from all over the United States would pay a visit for the next 30 years of their lives.

In a way, that tradition continues on today as this updated jewel of a home on a mountain top hosts vacationers from all over the world.

Reviews from Military

“We enjoyed Heavenly Hideaway cabin and the exhilarating vistas that one can find on hikes to “Buzzard’s Roost” mountain top. Cloud 9 property sets the stage to sit and reflect on the beauties of nature here and in God’s love for humanity. I have great respect for the vision that Brig Gen Peterson had in the creation and preservation of this property and more so after reading war stories from the family notebook that Janet shares.”

Peace and Blessings,

“We chose the Heavenly Hideaway cottage on Cloud Nine farm as our getaway during pre-deployment leave. We wanted somewhere private, romantic and quiet where we could relax and connect before the stress of an Afghanistan deployment began. The cabin and property absolutely exceeded our expectations! Lots of hiking right there on the property and we were able to take our dog with us (she loved it, too!) We had lots of quiet, alone time and the property was close to everything we could possibly want when we felt like going out into Asheville or hitting the Blue Ridge parkway for long hikes to gorgeous waterfalls.

Janet was wonderful and super helpful and knowledgeable about local things to do, and she actually made our reservations to the Biltmore Estate for us with a better discount than what we would’ve gotten as military.

Now that hubby is back from his deployment, we are headed right back to Cloud Nine for our post-deployment, post-command leave. We love the cabin, absolutely recommend Janet and her property, and cannot wait to spend ten days decompressing and re-connecting.

There’s nowhere better.”
