Great!

Vacation Date: March 20, 2026

"Cloud Dancer was great! It had everything we needed and the view is amazing!! We were lucky enough to get probably the best mountain sunset I've seen in my life. Beds were very comfortable. Very convenient to Hatley Pointe to ski--just a short drive away. Would definitely stay here again.

Can’t Recommend More Highly!

Vacation Date: December 30, 2025

"The house was tremendous! Well stocked and beautiful fixtures and furniture. Amazing view with hot tub overlooking the mountains. The two road options to the top of the mountain are steep, narrow, treacherous, and full of potholes so an experienced driver with a 4WD car is absolutely essential. Easy access to Hatley Pointe Ski Resort too. Can't recommend more highly!

Waller in the Holler

Vacation Date: August 29, 2024

"Nice place with one of the best stocked kitchen we have had as far as other rentals we have done. Hot tub big plus after hiking. Steep climb by truck / car up so 4x4 recommended. Lots of room if we would have had others join us and great spot downstairs to put kids to keep them out of the adults way. Pictures show a pool table but there is ping pong there now. Of course beautiful views. Only misunderstanding on my part was I thought this was an entire house. It is in fact a townhouse in a block of 4. The picture of the outside is a little confusing as it looks like you are getting the “entire” home. Also when you arrive you need to drive around the building to what you would think is the back … but it’s really the main entrance in the back. We vacation frequently here at the Wolf and prefer our own home but other than this 5 stars for sure. Don’t forget on your way up to get groceries, there is an Ingles in Mars Hill exit off 26 that is much closer than the old Weaverville exit.

Fabulous

Vacation Date: November 24, 2024

"Spent a wonderfully relaxing 5 nights last week over Thanksgiving. This is a lovely home in Mars Hill, NC. Rental handled by Yonder. The Mountain View’s are fabulous. Location is off the beaten bath, perhaps 30 minutes from Asheville. Very quiet, great for our family of 7. Private hot tub on the deck is awesome, especially during a light snow flurry! Wonderful gas fireplace! Home is VERY well equipped. There is a 2nd refrigerator in the lower level, not depicted in pictures. Very helpful especially during a Thanksgiving holiday! I would have happily given a 5 star review but: several of the lamps in the bedrooms need to have their 3 way bulbs replaced, home very clean except above refrigerator (noted when we placed food on top of refrigerator) also upper shower lip dirty, no griddle for cooking, stove light needs to be replaced, bidet leaks onto bathroom floor. We did contact the mgmt company but they were a little short staffed due to the holiday and we told them not to bother coming out for these small inconveniences. We did ask them about drinking the water as the refrigerator said filter needed to be changed. We were told a new filter had recently been inserted and walked us through how to reset it. Would suggest perhaps placing a comfort height toilet on the main level. Easier for older guests to use. So, many comments, but overall this house was very comfortable, you can tell how much the owners care about guests comfort and enjoyment of their home! We would return to this home… Cloud Dancer👍

Overlooks The World

Vacation Date: December 31, 2024

"What a gorgeous retreat! After driving up a winding road you arrive at the beautiful Cloud Dancer. It seems to overlook the world. The whole family settled into the spacious home and then went to the kitchen together to cook a meal before the sunset. The kitchen was well-equipped, everything we needed for a terrific meal. We finished dinner on the deck as the sun was setting, we poured another glass of wine and watched a memorable, beautiful, end to a memorable, beautiful day. I would highly recommend a stay at Cloud Dancer, in Mars Hills it was terrific

The Time Flew By

Vacation Date: October 20, 2023

"I had the pleasure of staying at Cloud Dancer in Mars Hill, NC in mid October 2023. The first thing that took my breath away was the fall color and views from the balcony. The hot tub on the balcony was nice for relaxing. The unit itself was very well stocked with toiletries, bedding, spices, and soaps. When leaving the unit to explore the area my favorite places were Weaverville for shopping, dining and a farmers market. Boone was another nice day trip for shopping and browsing. Asheville had a Woolworth’s which displayed fine arts and crafts. It also had an old soda fountain for a burger and shake. The food was good! I enjoyed a nice massage at the spa at the bottom of the mountain. The time flew by. I hope to visit Cloud Dancer again. Kudos to the host.

"Had a great time at Cloud Dancer at Mars Mountain N.C. The place we stayed at was clean, well stocked with what we needed to have a great time. Great walking trail up the mountain for even better views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Looking out from our hot tub on the upper deck put the BRM into a calming perspective. Loved it up there and looking to go back to the Cloud Dancer soon. A great dog friendly area and great mountain air.Loved it.

Just So Magical

Vacation Date: November 1, 2023

"We had the amazing opportunity to stay at the Cloud Dancer this summer and had one of the best times our family has had in years. The views and sunsets are just so magical I can see why they called it Cloud Dancer. We counted seven mountain ranges we could see from the back deck all while lounging in the hot tub or sitting comfy at the high top table. The kitchen is fully stocked with all sorts of oils and spices and everything you could possibly need to cook an amazing dinner. We kept calling it the “kitchen with a view” whether you were cooking or cleaning dishes you had the amazing long range view and breath taking sunsets to stare at. The bedrooms were also just so spacious and super immaculate. Everyone had plenty of their own space to do whatever they desired. There’s work stations in each bedroom, an awesome game room with a giant tv, ping pong and pool, lots of new and old school board games and super fast internet for when we wanted to stream some movies in front of the gas fireplace. There’s also a front porch with seating and a deck off the primary with comfy chairs if you’re looking to get away for some quiet reading time. It’s such a peaceful spot on top of the mountain to get away from it all and unwind yet close enough to explore, eat and shop. We loved tubing down the French Broad River and driving into Linville to check out the beautiful waterfalls and winery amongst many other things. This is our new favorite spot and we will be booking again for next summer. So much to do and explore in WNC, the activities are just endless. Thanks for the memories Cloud Dancer!! See you next summer!

"We have never seen a more beautiful sunset than from this property’s balcony. We saw deer, bunnies, geese, and bears. It was an adventure! The home is grand yet made you feel comfy and cozy. The fireplace was nice. The spa was nice. The deck was nice. The appliances were nice. The home was very well stocked with spices, salt & pepper, assorted spice rubs, olive oil, vegetable oil, flour, sugar, coffee pods, creamer, paper towels, garbage bags, toilet paper, q-tips and even make up remover pads!! Oh and don’t forget the laundry detergent and dryer sheets. Any of our questions or needs were met promptly. We absolutely 100% loved every minute we spent here and cant wait to do it again!!
