The Hidden Hemlock Treehouse: Sleep cozy among the trees with a waterfall view

4x4 or all wheel drive required. Non Smoking property .
The trail to the treehouse is a meandering path through the woods from the parking area. This trail includes 22 rustic steps and is a combination of mulch and pebbles which is not conducive to rolling luggage.Guest must be able to climb stairs.
Access to the loft is by ladder.
Sleep cozy among the trees in this authentic treehouse while listening to the sounds of the waterfall below. Enjoy hiking on our 33 private acers adjacent to the Cherokee national Forest or relaxing in the hot tub on the deck below.

The space
This 330 sq. ft. treehouse has a loft, main level and a deck beneath. The loft features a king size bed a 32" Roku TV (Netflix and wi-fi included). The main level includes a living area with a queen size pull-out bed, kitchen with an apartment-size refrigerator/freezer, a microwave, and a single burner cooktop. The kitchen also includes a coffee maker, tea kettle, pots, pans, dishes, utensils, blender, coffee, creamer and sugar. The upper deck overlooking the waterfall features a grill, bistro table and chairs. The lower deck features an outside dining area, two chair hammocks and a 3-person hot tub which is the perfect way to finish off your hike up to the Appalachian trail. The deck area also includes an outdoor shower.

The beautiful detached ground-level bathroom features a shower, sink, incinerating toilet, bath towels, soap, shampoo and conditioner, and a hair dryer.

Just a few things to know to make your stay better:

The drinking water is delicious! We have a 500 ft deep spring well, the water is pure (better than bottled).

There is a trail to the waterfall that is accessed off the driveway by the "waterfall" sign. The trail is a combination of stair steps, platforms, and natural trail. This section is rocky and may be muddy so wear sturdy shoes.

Please, if exploring the property, keep your eye out for poison ivy. There is an area where we have a no trespassing sign (we call this poison valley)

The deck can be slippery when wet.

There is a trash box in the parking area. It is very important to re-attach the latches after placing your trash in the box to keep the bears out.

The treehouse has no curtains or sheer curtains we have left eye mask for you to use if the light bothers you.

Please rinse off before using the hot tub.

Next to the trash can in the treehouse is a bin for recycling, join us in staying green! Please rinse and place all can's, glass, cardboard and plastic in this bin.

Please use hot pads if placing any hot or warm dishes on all surfaces.

The single burner hot plate is induction. You will need to place your pan on the surface before you turn the burner on.

The hot tub towels (aqua blue) are located in the desk/ dresser under the window in the 2nd drawer.

This is a small space. The air conditioner works really well, if you are leaving the property for a few hours please turn off the air conditioner. Please don't run the A.C. with the windows open.

If using the outdoor shower (hot is cold- cold is hot) the handle is backwards.

If something breaks, if you run out of toilet paper or paper towels, liners etc. Please let us know so we can fix or replace it immediately.

If you need towels for a day trip, please don't take the treehouse towels. We are happy to bring you some beach towels, just let us know.

Do not lock the bottom lock on the front door. (You will lock yourself out)

Please turn off all outside lights when not in use.

Wanda was a brilliant hostess! She took care of every need as I booked a surprise honeymoon weekend for my daughter. They met them at the property to welcome them and be sure that everything was as they needed it to be. They even delivered a deluxe charcuterie board to the patio for them the following day. Every detail was attended to. Highly recommend!

The sign says - This Must be The Place. It is all true. With the laurel blanketing the surroundings, the cozy quaint tree house looks as if it belongs there. With an unmatched coziness, and everything you need in a beautiful mountain environment, our stay was amazing. Wanda and Shelley were helpful and gracious. They offered help when needed and also gave us plenty of privacy, we also took many of their suggestions regarding hikes, dining out, etc. If you want to truly “unplug” and escape into the quiet of the woods in luxurious accommodations a this is it!

Very clean home, so pet friendly, incredible hosts, great overall experience. This is a tree house with a detached bathroom, ladder to the bed, and semi aggressive drive up a gravel road. If you’re good with all of that, fully recommend. The tree house was magical and the waterfall off the front porch added to the ambiance. It was so peaceful and quiet. We spent most of our time here outside in the hot tub, the freshly laundered hammock chairs, and the porch. The outdoor shower is also a great add in the remote place!The hosts couldn’t have been better. Great communication to make sure we had everything we needed and our stay was perfect. They were kind people and willing to share some hiking and destination recommendations. My wife and I will 100% return in the future!

This is by far one of the cutest places I have ever stayed. The hosts were wonderful and so sweet. Being able to sit on the porch and listen to the waterfall was so peaceful. I couldn’t recommend this place more!

Alice in Wonderland Treehouse Tea Party Vibes

This was an amazing adventure for me and my girlfriend! We stayed here as a birthday getaway so I could force myself to disconnect from work and other things. The lack of cell service for sure helped with that. With that in mind! Save you gate code and dont rely on your email. Write it down or screen shot it or else you're going to have quite the hike ahead of you. Haha I learned the hard way so you dont have to! The hosts of the property put a lot of love and care into this place and it shows! They pay attention to the finer details and thats something I appreciate dearly. Upon entering the treehouse there was a cute little birthday banner and 2 little cupcakes in glass domes sitting on the counter. It made everything feel very storybook and I couldnt have been happier with this experience. To conclude this rather long review, if you want to feel like you're staying in a storybook, or one of those a!r-bnb commercials with the little 3D house then THIS is the place! Thats the best way I can describe it, OH! Or like you're on a Wes Anderson set/movie! The guy who directed Fantastic Mr. Fox. This adventure isn't for everyone though, it feels like this is designed perfectly for the right type of adventurous person. So do keep that in mind!
