The space
The Treehouse
Escape to a custom-built, 100% sustainable off-grid treehouse on 23 private wooded acres in Western North Carolina. Perfect for nature lovers, adventure seekers, dog parents, and those looking for a romantic retreat. This unique stay offers long-range mountain views, an eco-friendly design powered by solar energy, a cozy wood burning stove, and fresh mountain spring water. Enjoy an exhilarating outdoor shower and a flushable composting toilet with a scenic view. Thoughtfully designed with handcrafted woodwork, a charming kitchenette, copper finishes, and plush organic linens, this treehouse takes glamping to a whole new level!

Meet the Highland Cows
Guests have exclusive access to our adorable Highland cattle herd: Moonshine, Martini, & Mojito. Their pasture is steps away from the treehouse. These friendly “cocktail cows” love attention, and you’re welcome to pet, brush, and feed them treats as often as you like. Currently there is also a baby named "Mudslide" born 1/13/26!

Winter Glamping Experience
From late November to mid-March, the treehouse transitions into a true off-grid glamping retreat. To prevent freezing, the water lines are shut down, but we provide 5-gallon water jugs for drinking, cooking, and cleaning, along with rinse-free bathing wipes. The toilet still functions above 20°F, with a backup port-o-potty available just in case. Main heat source is a wood burning stove. Rates are lower in winter to reflect these seasonal changes, if you’re seeking an off-grid adventure, this is it! Book another time of year if that isn't your vibe.

For the Love of Dogs
We built this treehouse because of our love for our dogs! It has a fully fenced yard, about 1/4 acre, a custom gate at the top of the stairs to keep them on the deck if needed. In the spring-fall there is a magnetized screen on the doors so they can go in and out without bringing bugs with them. All our trails are dog friendly. Dogs especially love hanging out under the treehouse where the dirt is cool and soooo many smells to explore. Doggy paradise! We do require dogs to be over 1 year old and not be left unattended. The cows aren't a fan of dogs, even ours, don't take it personal, instinct reminds them of coyotes, but there are fences separating them. So no worries!

Location & Nearby Attractions
Located in Canton, NC, near Waynesville and just west of Asheville, the treehouse sits at an elevation of 3,100 feet, rising to 3,700 at the ridge. Explore nearby trails, visit local farms and markets, or dine at charming restaurants. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the easy access to the Blue Ridge Parkway, Pisgah National Forest, the scenic Pigeon River, and fly fishing. The property itself offers peace, seclusion, and the option to disconnect completely from the world.

Sustainable & Thoughtful Design
We designed the treehouse to be both luxurious and environmentally conscious. Every detail, from the organic bedding to the handcrafted furniture made from local and salvaged wood, was chosen with sustainability in mind. The kitchen features a propane cooktop, a beautiful copper sink, and all the essentials for off-grid cooking, including a cooler for food storage.

The Off-Grid Experience
While this retreat is beautiful, it’s not for everyone! Off-grid means off the power and utility grid and feels secluded. Expect some wildlife, rustic charm, and an eco-friendly lifestyle. There’s no WiFi, no A/C, and power is limited to essentials like lighting and phone charging. Hair dryers and other high-energy appliances won’t work here. If you love nature, sustainability, glamping, and a peaceful escape, you’ll feel right at home.

Wildlife & Safety
Being surrounded by miles of forest means encountering wildlife is possible. Guests have spotted deer, bears, coyotes, bobcats, and more. Be mindful of food storage, use the provided bear-proof trash bin, and make your presence known while exploring. Safety is key, but there’s no need to worry—just be prepared and enjoy the experience!

This treehouse isn’t just a place to stay; it’s an opportunity to experience sustainable, off-grid living in the most magical way. Whether you’re hiking, relaxing, or bonding with the Highland cows, your stay will be one to remember! Moo!
