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!

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.

A great weekend away

We had a great weekend at the Treehouse. The kitchen was well appointed and we made a delicious dinner. We enjoyed the hot tub and found all the accommodations comfy and cozy. The location is an easy ride to Hendersonville and local breweries. We would absolutely stay at this cute cabin again!

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.

Adorable cottage, good location

The Treehouse Cottage was beautifully decorated and very cozy. We had a great time trying out the hot tub and then warming up by the fireplace. When we had an issue figuring out the propane heater, Kirk was quick to respond and very helpful. The location of the cottage is super close to both Saluda and Hendersonville. The beds were comfortable and the place was very clean. I would definitely stay here again, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Our Oasis in the Storm

1st of all… the host, Kirk, is literally an angel. Our situation was atypical, due to hurricane Helene our home was without power/water etc for 2 weeks. We had to leave our home close by in order to take care of our 13 month old while we waited for it to be safe to come back home. Kirk got us set up and in this beautiful, cozy house right away. He was so considerate and worked with us with our timeline being somewhat up in the air. Every aspect of this home was so comforting to us. Everything you needed was right there as far as amenities, a kitchen with everything you need to cook a delicious meal. I can’t over state how wonderful our stay was. You won’t be disappointed.

Perfect for a Relaxing weekend

The property was exactly as shown- yet somehow even more charming! We've been doing weekend trips together for several years, and this might be the best location (10- 15 minutes from wineries, antique shops, and groceries). The house is clean, cozy, and the chech in/out was simple. Highly recommend.
