About this property
Stay in a Treehouse Escape at Lake Catherine / Fire Pit + Lake Toys + Privacy
A unique getaway awaits on this private 40-acre treehouse retreat on Lake Catherine, with over 2,000 feet of shoreline, wooded trails, creeks, and plenty of space to explore. Whether you’re looking for adventure or just a quiet place to relax, this property offers both.
Spend your days kayaking, paddle boarding, fishing, swimming, or simply enjoying the outdoors. Lake toys are provided March through November. Around the property you’ll find picnic areas, fire pits, hammocks, and quiet spots to sit and take it all in. Wildlife is part of the experience—deer, birds, and even bald eagles are regularly seen.
The treehouse is designed to feel comfortable and relaxing. It includes a king bedroom, plus a loft with a queen bed and two twins. The full bathroom is stocked with towels, soap, and shampoo. The kitchen has everything you need, including a refrigerator with ice maker, microwave, drip coffee maker, griddle, convection toaster oven with air fryer, and hot plates.
Inside, the vaulted ceilings and shiplap walls give the space a light, open feel. The home is fully heated and air-conditioned and includes an all-season fireplace.
Outside, the wraparound deck offers plenty of seating along with a porch swing—perfect for morning coffee or just enjoying the wooded views. A charcoal grill and picnic area are just steps away.
The property itself is full of things to explore, from trails and shoreline to “Big Pine Point,” home to one of the largest pine trees in the state. In season, you can also enjoy wild blackberries, blueberries, and muscadines.
Additional amenities include a boat dock (feel free to bring your boat), life jackets, beach towels, indoor and outdoor games, books, movies, and TVs in both the living area and bedroom. Firewood is also provided.
There is no Wi-Fi at the treehouse. We like to think of it as a chance to unplug and enjoy your surroundings. Cell service is strong, and hotspots work if needed.
Please note:
Children must be 5 years or older due to the open loft and elevated deck Roads and driveways were updated in November 2025 and are now easier to navigate Lake levels are lowered each year from November through March 15 due to winter drawdown Traveling with younger children?

The property was adorable and perfectly situated to catch the sun through all the windows that face an amazing view. This place has every amenity you need for a simple trip to enjoy nature and the town. I will definitely return the next time Hot Springs is my destination.
The property was amazing! We went paddle boarding one morning and explored the trails. It was so nice to feel secluded from everything but a short drive to town! We will definitely be back!
If you want a quiet place away from the city this the place for you. The property is very clean with Master bedroom and loft for your family. A small jaunt or car ride down to a fishing/kayaking alcove makes this a great place to visit.
The place was awesome. It's private. We enjoyed the kayaking, playing volleyball. There is a trail too that was just right for us being newbies. The house was great... love the loft
Really enjoyed the natural beauty surrounding the cabin. Wish it had not been raining so much, but even with the rain the cabin was very comfortable and the stay was great!
This amazing secluded property was everything we hoped for in our romantic getaway. It's so relaxing just being in the woods, but there's also plenty to do down on the water. And it's still close to town, which is great, because we were surprised by all that Hot Springs has to offer.The cabin is cozy and comfortable and the porch is amazing. Despite not having an oven, we were still able to cook for two, using the hot plate and electric griddle.The gravel roads are steep, so you might want to leave the Lamborghini at home.Highly recommended property!
You really do feel like you are in a tree house! The serene setting is so peaceful and beautiful. We enjoyed our time and spent much of it on the back deck area listening to birds and the leaves blowing in the breeze. The lake was beautiful and we enjoyed using the paddle boat and exploring a little. This is a great place to stay for some R&R!
This cabin and location were the perfect getaway to recharge and relax. Everything we wanted to do was easy accessible! Lori is an amazing host and has literally thought of everything you could need / want for your stay. The beds were comfortable, necessities well stocked, and very clean! Will definitely stay here again!
We came for work, and we brought our kids. We had a great time! There is so much to do on the property; the kids did not want to leave. The owners are terrific!
The cabin was perfect! Little extras touches made it very nice. A little steep walk to lake but the kayaks and paddle boats were a plus! Overall great experience!
Mike and Lori are great hosts. The property is so welcoming. It’s a great place to fish, read and listen to nature as you connect around the campfire with family.
