Sweeping Mountain Views | Wraparound Decks | Cloud Rise

Perched high above Piney Creek, Cloud Rise is a misty mountain escape. Sip your morning coffee or unwind at the end of the day on two wraparound porches, offering long-range views of the surrounding peaks. Grill, relax, or head to the nearby community center for a game of pool. Adventure and tranquility are just outside your door.
--------------------------------------------
Indoor Spaces:
- Sleeping arrangements: Cloud Rise can sleep up to 8 people. The main-floor primary bedroom features a king-size bed, a private bathroom with a walk-in shower, and direct deck access. The second and third bedrooms are on the lower level. One has two queen beds, and the other has two twin beds.
- Main level: The spacious main level has an open floor plan connecting the kitchen, dining, and great rooms. A cathedral-style ceiling and the glow of polished wood give Cloud Rise its signature High Country comfort. After sharing a meal, curl up together in the great room around the fireplace, or head out onto the deck.
- Lower level: Downstairs is another family room with a second fireplace, the ideal spot to cozy up and read a book. The couch folds out to accommodate additional guests. A separate TV room with a large bean bag chair awaits to keep kids entertained. You can easily access the lower deck from this level as well.
- Cloud Rise comes with WiFi, AC, and streaming-enabled TVs.
- All Stay Blue Ridge vacation rentals include a complimentary starter pack with soaps, one roll of toilet paper per bathroom, a roll of paper towels in the kitchen, dishwasher pods, and trash bags.
--------------------------------------------
Outdoor Spaces:
- Upper and lower level wraparound decks with views so stunning, you'll practically live on these porches. Both decks have direct access to the home, so you're only steps away from indoor activities.
- Take a walk through the community where Cloud Rise resides and enjoy the fresh mountain air. Within the community bounds, a boardwalk leads out to a gazebo in the middle of a picturesque pond, a perfect spot for reading and reflection.
- Also in the neighborhood is a community center with pool tables.
--------------------------------------------
Local Surroundings:
- Cloud Rise positions you in the northern part of Ashe County near the Virginia Border, just minutes away from tons of outdoor activities.
- Downtown West Jefferson is a 30-minute drive away and well worth the travel. From a weekly farmer's market to regular live music events, WJ is a hub for all things mountain fun and culture. For the beer lovers in your group, stop by New River Brewery and Boondocks Brewhaus to sample local craft brews.
- Wine and dine at local upscale dining establishments, like Red Dog Bar & Bistro just a few minutes away in Piney Creek. Less than 20 minutes away is River House Inn & Restaurant, a unique eatery that serves a small, seasonally-themed menu that varies on a weekly basis. For a night out in downtown West Jefferson, give Craft Bistro in the Old Artists' Theater a try—you won't regret it.
- No trip to Piney Creek is complete without a float on the New River. Stop by one of the local outfitters to rent canoes, kayaks, and tubes for a day of fun on the water. If you have your own boats and tubes, many outfitters offer shuttle services.
- Visiting in the fall or winter? Take a drive up to the Blue Ridge Parkway to see the changing of the leaves up close and personal during autumn. As the months grow colder, start planning your skiing or snowboarding outings at Appalachian Ski Mountain (a little over an hour away).
--------------------------------------------
Important Notes:
- Pet Policy: We love dogs, just not at this rental. Please plan to leave your pets at home, or check out our pet-friendly properties.
- Access: A gravel road leads up to a spacious parking area. We recommend 4WD or AWD when visiting in the winter.
