Charming Tree House in the Forest

it’s too bad you can’t leave a negative amount of stars for a review because i certainly would pertaining to this “spectacular treehouse!” I was highly disapppointed in my stay when i was greeted by snakes, flies, ants, spiders, and an animal in the bathroom which awoke me and my family, leaving us to contact the owners friend because she was too busy spending our money in europe than to provide a decent act of customer service. this treehouse was overpriced, the website is utterly misleading and the owner is a disgrace to the “earthy environment and mother nature” by claiming she doesn’t use pesticides although she has poison and traps to kill nature that is “their home and not ours.” she told us to pick somewhere different to stay next time and rest assured it won’t be that shack.

This place is just amazing. I stayed here last weekend with some friends and now I want to come back with my my husband. It's off a country road with a beautiful creek running through it so it is super peaceful. Inside is decorated so well, there's everything you need and it is so cozy. The hottub is fab and there's another section along a walkway with a fire pit which they supply the wood for. There's string lights and even a day bed on the lower balcony so you can sleep outside, which we did! I read the other review about too much wildlife...errr, it's a treehouse in the woods, what did you expect? We saw some caterpillars, spiders and a few wild turkey. Nearby is a river you can swim in and it is a great spot to use as a base to explore Mt Mitchell and the Blue ridge Parkway. The host is really helpful and responsive. I can't wait to come back in the winter and make the most of that wood burning stove. Really can't recommend it enough.

Beautiful location and inside is pleasant. If you're surefooted it's ideal. The paths to the home are threaturous not very well lit. If you don't have 4wd park below at the little building. Back in off to the side. If you can't climb well don't expect much in that area, the hammock is in the revein or out of reach of normal humans. The outside lounge area is only good in dry season. The tree part of the tree location isn't accessible to those overweight ... my 13 year old had a hard time accessing so it's not truly a tree house. The fire pit is dangerous and sliding off the hill the wood they supply is wet..... it took all the starters they had to lite it inside in the awesome wood burning stove all doors open and ac down too....i enjoy fire since outdoors area was soggy....I paid big money i'mma enjoy a beautiful fire. The pillows are nice the sheets and blankets are in need of retirement or used as decoration only. I think the only major issues where the nasty wet restroom floor, washing machine not working, fire pit wet soggy and sliding off the mountain. Also the composting toilet wasn't truly thus.... is was a empty plastic thing not pleasant for anyone overweight or not up with a portable toilet with no pleasant water made for stench... hot tube was nice but I wiped a huge amount of scum off the side yucca!!! Also when I complained about wet bathroom the person that came wasn't concerned about hospitality she was concerned about the property only.... drug a trench behind us... said the hole time.... oh I've never seen this before.. blah blah I never seen that.. .she did nothing for our wet nasty floor or the towels I had to use too....i try to make comfortable....
