We took our 17 y/o daughter and best friends to Cloudland Retreat for her birthday. It was just what she [needed] wanted. The views are spectacular! The home[s] are clean, lovely, and well-stocked, and the beds are so comfortable. The girls were able to spend quiet time just hanging out reading, talking, eating, putting a puzzle together, and just being as we lingered most of our time at Cloudland. We ventured out into the cold to hike and see a little of Mentone [most things were closed] one day. Otherwise, we rested and enjoyed our stay. Our only complaint would be that, since we had such a bitter cold snap, the guest house was never warm enough. The upper split unit was not strong enough to keep the space decently warm. Each night we had a fire but that was not efficient enough to cover the cold air coming in above the fireplace, around the door, or underneath in the crawl space. However, it was nice to sleep with a fire, and snuggle up to try to keep warm in the comfortable bed. Thank you for allowing us to stay. We will probably be bringing our family back in the warmer months to be able to enjoy the wonderful deck, grill, and outdoor fire pit, as well.
