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.

Summary: 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.
