Had a great time at the tree house! Very cute, cozy feel. Check in and communication was a breeze, no troubles whatsoever. We enjoyed being able to bring our dog, and using the hot tub. Our only complaint we had was a musty smell throughout the house, as well as on linens/towels.

Wonderful property! Beautifully decorated with attention to the smallest detail. We loved the screened porch. Being able to zip into Flat Rock for a nice dinner for another plus. Absolutely recommend this charming and quaint cottage.

Lovely Tree House

We enjoyed our stay; everything was clean and just as described and pictured. Fixtures and furnishings were thoughtful and tasteful... lovely decor. Kitchen was well-equipped for cooking with a variety of spaces, and all of the dishes and appliances you might need. Water tasted great out of the tap. 15 minutes from Hendersonville- very convenient. The how-to guide and 'what to do' guides were both very professionally done and well organized. It was especially warm when we visited, but the 4 window AC units did a great job. There is a damp smell in the house though. It didn't bother us, but it may bug you if you're super sensitive or allergic. There are no closets and only a small armoire, so keep that in mind for longer stays... There are hooks on the back of one of the bathroom doors, though, that you could hang quite a bit of stuff on.

Wonderful Relaxing Getaway

Cozy but roomy with a mountain cottage feel. The property is close to other houses, but well positioned to maintain privacy. We could tell the owner/manager put a lot of thought into the little things you would need. The property is shaded enough that we could enjoy meals on the screened porch even in early summer. The bed was comfy and bathrooms were spacious. You’re just a few mins from Flat Rock and a few more from Hendersonville. There were lots of places to go hike and explore. It’s a wonderful spot and great place to stay. The owner/manager, Kirk, was communicative and available to message or call, but we did not have any need to reach out. We will likely be back!

Mountain Gem

This cabin was exactly as depicted, extremely well suited and stocked for a weekend getaway. The host has taken care to leave pretty much anything you would need for a weekend stay, short of groceries. I would happily stay here again and definitely recommend it to any couple or small group. 5 stars isn’t enough.

Wonderful time in a cozy cottage

We have always wondered what a stay in Treehouse cottage would be like. Many many years ago, we stayed in the cottage a little down the hill from treehouse. That was our first trip to the Hendersonville area. We love this area and have returned often. This time we decided to relive the past and finally stay at Treehouse. We had a great time in the area again and a relaxing time in the cottage. The cottage may be very "vintage" but is very clean and well maintained. The host was very responsive and helpful. The only thing I would change would be the parking. Each cottage on that road has its own spot it's just a little difficult to maneuver because it's a little narrow. With the lay of the land there are no other options. Just take it slow and you'll be fine.
