We investigate properties of self-gravitating isorotating Skyrmions in the generalized Einstein-Skyrme model with higher-derivative terms in the matter field sector. These stationary solutions are axially symmetric, regular, and asymptotically flat. We provide a detailed account of the branch structure of the spinning solutions in the topological sector of degree one. We show that additional branches of solutions appear, as the angular frequency increases above some critical value, these ``cloudy'' configurations can be considered as a bound system of the spinning Skyrmions and ``pion'' excitations in the topologically trivial sector. Considering the critical behavior of the isorotating solitons in the general Einstein-Skyrme model, we point out that there is no isospinning regular solutions in the reduced self-dual L6+L0 submodel for any nonzero value of the angular frequency.
