What could be better for a getaway than a Luxury Lakefront Treehouse, extra comfortable bedrooms, hot tub overlooking the lake. Wake up to mountain air, take in the sounds of our birds and wildlife, the beauty among the trees and glistening lake below. The house is perched on a lakeside bank, blanketed by fern and rhododendrons, among pine, hickory, maple, and mountain laurel, We have 2 kayaks, one double canoe and one 15 ft lily pad as our flotilla. An hour of steady paddling gets you to the far corners and back, passing small hidden waterfalls and streams that feed it after a good rain.
For recreation we have a 15' Lilly pad, darts, corn hole, puzzles, chess and board games, and a hand crafted 12' shuffleboard, built by my sons, as will some gaming in the Home Theater. Our hot tub is beautifully crafted, a rare stainless and tile on the deck looking over the lake and mountains, and our dry sauna is just steps away, indoors.
The house is beautifully designed with craftsman mission and branch/ twig furnishings. Think luxury tree house! Even our dining table is crafted from tree trunk base,

The bathrooms and spa bath complete with sauna, double shower and outdoor hot tub looking out on the lake, are designed with indulgence in mind.

Hiking trails are close by with a dozen incredibly beautiful waterfalls. Rainbow Falls in Gorges Park is a nearby favorite, as is the Panthertown Trail, only 15 minutes away.

A note about our additional fees for over 4 people:
We started this rental about the same time of the pandemic when folks wanted to travel in smaller groups. Quite often I got requests from a group of 2,3 and 4 to book and I discovered it best for all, that the price be lowered for smaller groups by lowering the “base” price. VRBO actually recommended this so that pricing reflected the number of guests. A few reasons also are that more guests mean more wear on the home as well as more cleaning afterwards. Our cleaners are paid a “living wage” and always more for larger groups. I believe this pricing and extra fee structure creates transparency and serves the most people all around.
I would be happy to welcome a group of 9 maximum with the understanding that we’ld provide a blowup mattress which could fit in the theater room. As owner/manager, I make it my priority to provide an outstanding and hope to welcome you to our
Treehouse at water’s edge!
