Adorable room with artistic touches. Truly set in the treetops. Great shops, restaurants and easy ferry access nearby. Of course you are right near the beach and lighthouse. Only negative would be steps for someone that can’t climb easily and no TV but we knew both up front.

They were okay, we were able to check in early, which was really nice. A kitchen sink would have been nice so that we didn’t need to use the restroom sink. A counter top oven would be great. The curtains need to be updated. The nightstands are worn and should be covered.The main reason for the low rating is because the owner smoked marijuana more than once when we were there. That is one of the main reasons we look for a property away from others. The smell made us feel nauseous, and was very rude.

Perfect room for one night stay!

This cute room was perfect for a nights stay in Buxton. Lisa was friendly and accomodating, and provided just about everything you need to enjoy not only the night there but the morning after as well. I cannot recommend this place enough if you are a single person or a couple looking for a place to stay for the weekend.

My husband and I came for just one night to explore the Cape. I enjoyed breeze coming in from the ocean and waking up to the sounds of birds. Lisa's place is clean and comfortable. It had everything we needed; also very close to Pop's, which had delicious and inexpensive seafood.

Perfect couple getaway

Gorgeous little treetop room with great views. Just outside Buxton with access to all amenities. Pops Bar and restaurant is 200 feet away, so stumbling distance home from the bar :) Hostess was amazing and responded immediately to any inquiries.

Quaint, quiet, treetop stay!

Lisa was great, I needed a place to crash a couple nights for an OBX wedding. Perfect 10 min drive south of Avon. Access to the lighthouse in a short drive or nice long walk around to the point of the cape. She suggested the Palmico Inn for breakfast, which was perfect during the mid week mornings.

The perfect single room beach getaway!

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect place for our getaway weekend at the beach. It was a quaint little treehouse that was very welcoming and made our short stay absolutely wonderful. We will definitely be returning with the anticipation of hopefully listening to the host perform.

Hidden Gem

Great location for us, especially within short walking distance from Pops grill. I enjoyed walking around the boat yard early in the morning. The host was great, was present during our check in. Host also checked on us several times during the visit. Perfect little spot to get away and enjoy the beach for sure. It’s our 37th year visting Buxton. We will most definitely stay in the future.

The Treetop Retreat is a great place to stay

Lisa is a great host. She communicated details in advance of my stay. The day of check in she texted me to let me know the room was ready early. I met her the day I arrived and she was very welcoming. The room was exactly as stated in the description. It is clean and there was always a breeze coming off the sound. I enjoyed sitting on the dack in the evening and listening to the birds. After dark the stars were bright and the location is very tranquil. I felt safe and happy with my choice. I look forward to another visit.
