About this property

The Treehouse

  • Summary:

    Serene & secluded 2-Story home with covered porch, firepit & telescope



    The Space:

    Experience a truly unforgettable stay at this secluded and private retreat in the woods! The Treehouse is mostly bordered by the Nantahala National Forest - you're not able to see any neighbors, except in the winter when the trees are bare. This is the perfect retreat for families and friends. You will love relaxing in the swing on the covered porch with a steamy cup of coffee in the mornings or a thrilling novel with a glass of wine in the afternoon.



    The firepit, another great gathering spot, offers the opportunity to hang out with your loved ones and tell fun or scary stories while listening to the creek below and looking at the mountain view. Inside this darling home, you will find an inviting, beautifully decorated, comfortable open great room with a large window with a view of the mountains. The walls and ceiling are knotty pine and soar 16 feet high for that wonderful lodge feel. There is a large leather sofa and two swivel rockers for relaxing while watching the 55' flatscreen TV with cable. The kitchen is well appointed with all you need to make meals for the whole family, granite countertops, microwave, dishwasher, glass-top stove, convection oven, and antler chandelier.



    There is a Keurig coffee maker that will brew a 12 cup pot or individual pods. The kitchen and dining areas are finished off with bar seating and a dining table under another antler chandelier. Also on the first floor is a sleeping porch with a wall of windows looking towards the view with two beds, a large primary bedroom, and a full bathroom. Upstairs you will find a second bedroom with an en-suite bathroom. Things to Know Please note the wood stove in the living room is not available. The TV has Direct Satellite TV. The home now also has a smart TV that guests can log into using their own log in information.

Home Away From Home!

This is my second stay at the Treehouse. My daughters treated me to a long weekend retreat at this home with them on Mothers Day. I fell in love with this comfortable home and decided to plan a mini vacation with my husband. We both enjoyed our stay once again in this lovely home.

Great Little Weekend Trip

We absolutely loved this house. The house was well stocked with everything you would need for the kitchen and bathrooms as well. Plenty of towels and extra blankets. We loved the deck, great view and the fire pit area was a total hit. The house is located close to everything we wanted to do and see. Highly recommend this house to any family and I hope to visit again soon.

Birthday cabin weekend

This was a lovely place for a weekend getaway in the mountains, even better than the pictures and one of my favorite trips to NC! We had good weather, but the driveway is fairly steep and may be difficult to get up in the snow without a 4-wheel drive car. Unrelated to the property, but in the winter, restaurants in nearby towns like Highlands have very limited hours or are closed, so check ahead! Overall, the trip was amazing, thanks so much!

Peaceful

Very comfortable home to stay in. Plenty of room and furnished with everything you need. This home is so peaceful and quiet. A beautiful place to get away from the hustle and bustle of sightseeing the beautiful mountains. The home is very well maintained. Only negative, the king size bed was very hard and uncomfortable. One side was broken down and we had to avoid sleeping in the hole on that side.

Beautiful House and View

The house is very cozy and warm. The kitchen was more fully stocked with anything you would need, more so than my own home! The views are lovely and the surrounding area is stunning. My only negative, and an important one, is getting to the home. The last half mile or so the road is very narrow, unpaved and downright scary. No guardrails where there are steep drops on the sides. I do not recommend getting there in the dark as we did. I would love to revisit this lovely home but this alone will stop me from going back.

Very nice property, but

Very nice, well equipped house. Very secluded and quiet. Here are the buts….internet was intermittent and with no cell coverage, a potential issue. A very noisy dehumidifier going 24/7 in the crawl space took away the serene quiet. The master bedroom bed frame was very squeaky…if you are a toss and turner, you will wake your partner. There should be a warning to NOT come to this place if you have a low profile vehicle…you will scrap along the gravel road and driveway. Beautiful setting.

Peace & Quiet

The property was even better than expected. Fully stocked kitchen with anything you need to prepare a meal, tons of outdoor spaces, beautiful views, absolute peace. There were games and books to read, fun decor, tons of blankets, dvds, and just everything you could think you’d want at a cabin getaway. The ONLY downsides- the telescope requires an app to use and you can’t use the app if you don’t have the code for the telescope, the fireplace isn’t working currently (but that is clearly stated), and the address is listed as Franklin (and falls under Highlands rentals as well) but it’s 30 minutes to Franklin & 45 minutes Highlands so be careful when booking. If you need to be close to either Franklin or Highlands, this may not be the place for you. If you’re looking for a quiet getaway far away from neighbors, stores, etc, this is for you. We truly loved it, just wished it was a little closer to the city centers.

Very nice-Comfortable - would stay again

Comfortable home. Quiet. All the kitchen accessories. Plenty of room for two couples and kids. Close to trails. Clean. I would warn the future users that a low profile vehicle is not recommended to drive up the gravel road. We scraped the bottom of the car a couple of times. Internet is not the greatest so if needing a remote office it will be difficult. (Wi Fi sign needs updating. We had to figure out by exclusion which internet was the one we needed.). Would have appreciated access to extra pillowcases for the extra pillows made available. Overall in a very good location and very nice place to stay. We were very comfortable and relaxed. (The battery in the door lock seems to be running out of power so we had a bit of difficulty getting the code in before it stopped working.)

My favorite part is taking the stairs to the creek and reading on the stone bench. Idyllic. The kitchen is fully stocked and the porches are amazing places to relax especially with the sound of the wind chime.
