Comment Text: Dearest Dave and Carol,
My family cannot thank you enough the wonderful getaway that we experienced at your beautiful home. We were plesantly greated even though we arrived late in the evening. Your home is elegantly decorated, clean, cozy & the views are breathtaking. The hottub was a nice relaxing spot to take it all in. My children cried when we had to leave. They enjoyed the fishing pond and all the great hikes and sites that you told us about. Most of all they enjoyed spending quality time with Mom and Dad, the puppies and YOU!!! They enjoyed every minute even though we were all sick. You made sure that we had all that we needed! From the views, to the garden, the hammocks and the hospitality we were truly blessed. God is continuing to use you in amazing ways. Thank you for everything. We highly reccommed "Above the Clouds"! We cannot get back there soon enough!! Thank you!! God Bless you Both!!

| When we arrived at Above the Clouds late on Thursday night we knew it was a special place. The rooms are beautifully decorated. The upstairs bed has a super comfortable mattress and both bathrooms are spacious. The cabin is chock full of books in every room. It was not until the next morning that we could really appreciate the outstanding view and beautiful garden and waterfall areas. The cabin was immacuately clean and supplied with breakfast goodies. The hot tub was also very clean and well taken care of. The property overall is very clean, quiet and peaceful. All of these special touches made for a perfect vacation home and a wonderful place to get engaged! We loved Above the Clouds and it will always hold a very special place in our hears. |

Dave and Carole,
David and I truly enjoyed our stay at your chalet. I have two regrets... (1) That I had to attend a conference during our visit and (2) That we didn't understand the extent of how wonderful you were until the day we were leaving. Of course, we loved the chalet. It was breathtaking and the views were amazing. However, what I will never forget is the time of worship we shared with you before we left. I would say it was by accident that you shared your beautiful song with us and the DVD, but I know that with God, there are no accidents. I have been a christian for many years and grew up in a christian home as my father is a minister. But, I was touched and renewed by what you shared with us. Thank you so much! We are looking forward to seeing you again in October!
Sweet blessings to you both!

| Your cabin is beautiful and very inviting. We had a wonderful, relaxing get-away. I was so surprised and pleased to find that Dave is a composer and actually wrote a song my church choir loves to sing. You also have beatiful landscapes that shows you love the beauty of God's creations. We'll keep you in our list for great places to go, God Bless You, The Deans |

Dave and Carole,
I'm trying to think of other ways to express how fantastic your place is in a way that is different from what has already been said in the comments from other families who have stayed, but, to no avail. Everyone has already summed up what our family would have said! You two are amazingly generous and thoughtful and it showed up many times in our stay at the chalet. The pristine accomodations, the food in the fridge, the family movies and board games, the inspirational books, the candles lit and the music playing when we walked in......aaahhh! What a welcome experience for the weary traveler! The peaceful environment, the breathtaking view, the comfortable beds, the beautiful grounds and water/flower garden all made for an amazing three days. Hope to return soon!

Dave and Carole -
We wanted to thank you for your southern hospitality. Your home was more than we expected. It was a jaw-dropping moment as soon as we walked in the door. The views were magnificent and your home was lovely. We are already planning our trip back to your place. Thank you once again. We had a fabulous weekend.
Sincerely,

| Our 20th Wedding Anniversary was so special to us because this place is so awesome. It is breathtaking! The view and the chalet are wonderful. The owners are also wonderful Christian people. They made us feel so welcome and so special. As I said it was our 20th anniversary and they had left us a large heart-shaped box of candy in the upstairs bedroom. They provided everything for breakfast. It was a little piece of heaven and I can't wait to go back. Hopefully every year on our anniversary! SPECTACULAR!!! |

| WOW!! I have stayed in many place but this one by far blew the all out of the water. The View the Hot Tub was perfect. Every detail inside and out was so carefully thought out. My Wife and myself came up here to get away for our anniversary and had the whole trip planned out but once we got to the house we didnt want to leave. The pictures do not do this place justice. As for the owners David and Carol these have to be two of the most kind people I have have meet. Thank you for letting us enjoy you home and we hope to return very soon. |

| Dave and Carole were the most gracious host I've ever encoumtered. The cabin is beautiful and the view is breath taking. I have stayed in many cabins from The Carolinas to Florida and have never dealt with more caring and gracious owners. There are no cut corners with the cabin and it's furnishings. Everything is top of the line. I will definately return. My rating is Overwhelmingly positive. |

| We stayed at the Above the Clouds Inn for 5 nights. Access to Rock City, Ruby Falls, Hang Gliding, Canyon hiking was very convienient. Access to downtown Chatanooga (Aquarium, IMAX, etc,) also close by (45 minuts max.) There are so many details to this wonderful home that they just need to be experienced. The owners David and Carol are very gracious and wonderful hosts and there is no way anyone could have a bad time here. The peace and tranquility are present as soon as you walk in the door, the view is breathtaking, the accomodations excellent, the value excellent. We had a really great time. |

IMPRESSIVE!! So glad we decided to try Chattanooga area instead of our traditional Gatlinburg trip! I think we've been converted, thanks to this beautiful place we called our "home away from home" for an early Christmas celebration. I could go on and on about the "amenities"; wonderful breakfast foods, spacious chalet, beautiful decor, and views the pictures just can't do justice.
We can't wait to return! |

The tranquility and majestic beauty of the mountain had us
awestruck upon arrival. The taste with which the chalet was decorated was
impeccable. From the fresh cut flowers and chocolates, to the collection of
classic literature and videos, no detail was overlooked. The kids really
enjoyed the binoculars for looking at the valley. We enjoyed the hot springs
spa after a day of hiking at Cloudland Canyon Park. Thank you for sharing
your home with us. We will treasure the memories of the time we shared there
as a family.

Everything was beautiful! We enjoyed our stay immensely. The view was wonderful - especially in the morning when the clouds were settled against the mountain. This is our anniversary trip (8 years) and of the places we have stayed - this has been one of the best. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
