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.

    The property itself was very nice and well appointed. However the drive to the house is a gravel, bumpy, steep, one lane road. Because of that we left early. If I don't even want to think about if there was an emergency. Also - the telescope was a huge fail, as there were no instructions, and thus unusable.

    Lovely cabin with great view! Cabin was clean and comfortable was a bit disappointed to not have a fire in the wood stove but enjoyed our stay nonetheless.

    One minor issue in the kitchen that was resolved completely to our satisfaction. VERY comfortable house in a VERY quiet,beautiful location amongst the trees.GOOD ground clearance recommended for navigating the uneven and steep gravel driveway (we have a Subaru,no problem.....but a Ford Fusion,for example, would drag bottom). Wish we could've stayed longer!

    Home was quite well stocked with everything you could need in the kitchen including a milk frother. Bathrooms and bedrooms were comfortable. My pup loved all the rooms to explore. It is very quiet where the house is and secluded. There are several decks to enjoy the views. There was a great firepit and gas grill. We would stay here again for sure.

    Amazing property for the price. Super clean and well maintained. My only complaints are that the grill is so rusted and corroded that it doesnt work (and is a bit dangerous b/c of it), and that ice maker in the fridge doesnt work. Also the road up to the house needs pretty badly to me re-graded.

    The house was perfect. Didn’t realize it until we walked in it was almost identical to what we are starting to build on our land. The house was clean and comfortable. Will stay here again.

    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.

    The treehouse was as described in the online listing. We enjoyed the view and time spent on the wrap-around porch when the sun was out and the covered porch to listen to the rain and enjoy the string of lights in the evening. The location is secluded and extremely peaceful. Overall, the house was clean. However, there was a water bottle left on the porch and when I was looking behind furniture in the room with the telescope trying to find the switch for the string of lights, I found paper, a tissue, and a tampon, which was thankfully still in its wrapper. It would be helpful to provide instructions for how to turn the string of lights on. It wasn't obvious, even after reaching out to the management company. However, the biggest complaint was the check-in process. After driving 6 hours straight, we arrived at dusk and in the rain, looking forward to settling in and relaxing. However, the key pad to unlock the door didn't work. The lengthy description and additional troubleshooting steps provided should have been a clue that it would be difficult. Both my teenage daughter and I tried entering the provided code at least a dozen times. I tried to call the 800 number provided for assistance, but there was no cell phone service at the house. So, we drove several miles down the road to where we did have service. I called again and was on hold for 15 minutes with no help. Luckily, help was responsive when I texted and we were able to get in the house by alternate means.

    This house is really like a tree house nestled in a lot of trees. It is comfortable and plenty of room with the porches. We enjoyed our stay.

    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.

    I never received the access code to enter the property, I texted in the morning of the booking for the information and code, had to call at 3:00 an hour before our stay to get the address and code . I received the address but no code. Called again at 5:00 still no access code, I had to leave and drive 2 hours home. VRBO has not been any help. Got 5 stars with my last booking, I’m not using them again. The home was advertised as being 7.2 miles from Highlands, N.C., it was 25 miles.

    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.
