Letter from the Developer

Fifteen years ago, I had a crazy idea born from a simple passion: as a father, I wanted my children to have the opportunity to experience the things that made my childhood so special and memorable to me. As my wife, Angie, and I watched our kids grow up in this fast-paced world, we yearned to find moments that made time stand still. Not only did we want this for our family, but also for the friends who desired this same escape for their families. Searching for these moments turned into a vision for what life could look like if we chose to take time for the simple things. Out of this vision, Cloudland Station was born.

Our community has grown to nearly 70 families over these 15 years, and we continue to find people who share in this vision of bringing the past into the present. As we find new community members, we expand our understanding and vision for what it means to embrace the simple things in life. We are always thrilled to discover new opportunities for enjoying life in this beautiful setting, whether it is a new hobby a member is passionate about, or a new idea that sparks inspiration for an event or activity yet to be developed. Cloudland Station began as my passion project, but has grown to become the passion of the community we have developed here.

Our hope at Cloudland Station is to invite our community to create a legacy of connection with their family and friends–connection to nature and each other. When you drive through our gates, we hope that you breathe a sigh of relief as you enter this beautiful oasis. As your family enjoys S’mores around a campfire under a starry sky, we hope that time stands still and these memories become cornerstones in your family’s story. 

I hope that you are inspired to find moments to embrace the simple things with the ones you love. If you find it difficult to unplug, I invite you to visit our community and experience the serenity of time standing still at Cloudland Station
