The Tree House, Vintage Mountain Retreat

Welcome to Tree House Cottage. This 1940's vintage cottage provides a fusion of historic Appalachian charm with classic lake cottage style. Perched high in the trees on a wooded acre in the beautiful Lake Summit area.

The cottage features a large, open living room, kitchen with a rustic 100 year old poplar tree bar, flanked by logs that reach from floor to ceiling, and a craftsman style stone fireplace.

Two cozy bedrooms each have king size beds and charming decor. The master bedroom has a large private bath with clawfoot tub, pedestal sink and a stack washer-dryer unit. The common bathroom has a custom vanity, copper vessel sink and full-size tub/shower combo. 
 
Enjoy dining on the covered screen porch, or step out and enjoy the impressive outdoor deck. Build a fire in the outdoor fire pit, or enjoy a night under the stars in the private four person hot tub.

Attention to every detail has been taken at the Treehouse Cottage. It is sure to be one of your favorite places to get away.

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!

Great little Tree House

This place met all our needs for a short respite on our way from one part of North Carolina to another. The hot tub was an especially nice feature and the cabin type house is thoughtfully decorated in keeping with the beautiful North Carolina Smokey Mountains

Perfect cabin for a getaway!

This cabin was perfect for a weekend getaway for much needed relaxation. The kitchen had everything needed to make meals and I especially loved the metal roof during a heavy rainstorm. We will definitely be booking this cabin again!

Beautiful location

Stayed at the Tree House for a weekend and I must say it was just what we needed. It is decorated in a way you feel like you are staying at a friends place- very homey and comfortable. Bed was extremely comfy and just loved the mix of new and original. Hope to stay again!!

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.

This is just a delightful and rustic mountain cabin. Loved the way it has been decorated with antiques, wood and special touches. The bath tub sitting on wooden stumps instead of claw feet was really neat. Was a great place to stay while we explored the Saluda/Flat Rock/Hendersonville areas

Great Place

Loved staying here. Needed to wind down after the holidays. It was quiet, comfortable and clean. Had everything we needed to cook a few times. We also enjoyed a couple of restaurants in Flat Rock and a short hike at DuPont State Forest. Great place for couples needing a getaway.

Great stay at the Treehouse cabin

Property was great, alot of privacy with all of the trees around. House was very clean, and comfortable. Would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a nice place to stay. Parking is a little tight, but more than enough for two cars. We intend on returning for a future trip

Cute, comfy cabin!

My friends and I came from Indiana for a girls weekend trip and we loved our stay! The cabin was clean, cute, and super comfy! We loved the lay out! It rained a bit and you could hear it on the roof which made it so comfy! The hot tub was great and it was just an overall great stay! Highly recommend!
