Wooded Treehaus in Cheshire Village | Dual King Suites, Viking Kitchen & Outdoor Fireplace

Designed by architect Thomas Lawton and once named Home of the Month by the Raleigh News & Observer in collaboration with NC State's School of Design, Serendipity Treehaus is not your typical mountain rental. Nestled among the trees in the charming Village of Cheshire—just a mile from downtown Black Mountain—it earns its name: native stone, cedar shingles, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a loft-like interior that feels like the mountains and forests grew the house themselves. It's ideal for couples or two pairs looking for something with a little more personality than the average cabin.

The Space
The main level is open concept, with a Viking appliance kitchen, a dining table for four, a half bath, a gas log fireplace, and a Smart TV with cable and streaming. French doors open to an upper deck with al fresco dining, perfect for meals with a front row seat to brilliant fall color, frost-kissed branches shimmering in the sun, verdant summer greenery, and delicate spring blossoms.

Upstairs, the king loft bedroom feels true to the treehaus spirit: surrounded by windows (with newly installed blinds for privacy, a romantic balcony for two, a Smart TV, and a luxurious en-suite with a soaking tub and walk-in shower. Downstairs, the lower-level king bedroom has its own Smart TV, a full en-suite with a walk-in shower, and a separate entrance—giving two couples genuine privacy despite the open layout.

Outside, a beautifully crafted stone patio with a wood-burning outdoor fireplace anchors the back of the home, with seating on all three levels to take in the wooded surroundings and cozy neighborhood feel.
A note on the layout: The home's open, loft-style design means there are no interior doors between floors, allowing sound to travel. It's part of what makes the space feel so airy and special, but worth knowing if your group includes early risers or late-night owls.

The Location
Cheshire Village puts walkable dining right outside your door—The Cheshire Arms, Sake Sushi, and Beradu (with a full kitchen and market) are steps away. The community itself also has walking trails, green spaces, and a playground. You'll also find a YMCA gym and pickleball courts across the street. Less than a mile away, you'll find gas stations, a full grocery store, and the "Prettiest Small Town in America," Downtown Black Mountain. This treasured small town has its fair share of shops, restaurants, and breweries, but a quick 20-minute drive lands you in Asheville for even more options.
