The space
Tucked in the woods and surrounded by forest, this magical treehouse studio apartment is a calming sanctuary, wrapped in trees, birdsongs, and the gentle sound of a nearby creek. There’s no traffic, no city noise—just the soothing sounds of nature to reset your nervous system.
A real living Beech tree grows right through your private deck, glowing at night with soft lights you can enjoy from the hammock or swinging love bench.
Your spacious private deck also includes a patio table and outdoor darts, two hammocks and a rocking bench, all with peaceful mountain views. Inside, unwind with a plush queen-size Casper memory foam bed, LED fireplace, mid-century furnishings, and in-unit washer/dryer (detergent provided).
The fully stocked kitchen includes a full-size fridge, freezer, stove, oven, microwave, and sink.
Cooking essentials provided include: a saucepan, skillet, large and small pot, baking sheet, toaster, cutting board, can opener, wine opener, wine glasses, steak knife, dishes and silverware for two.
Coffee is provided along with sugar, powdered creamer and tea. There is a single serve traditional drip coffee machine as well as a French press with mugs available.
There’s also a guest pantry with surprise goodies left by past travelers—take what you need, and leave anything that you don’t! Great for extra salt, oil, spices or unopened treats.

Whether you’re admiring fireflies in spring, enjoying summer hikes, sipping local cider under autumn leaves, or snuggling up in a winter wonderland—this place offers something special in every season.
Though it feels deeply tucked into nature, the treehouse is just 25 minutes from downtown Black Mountain and Fairview, and about 35 minutes from Asheville and Hendersonville—offering the perfect balance between serene retreat while still being within reach of great food, breweries, and whatever adventure brings you here.
Black Mountain and Asheville are known for their local breweries, farm-to-table restaurants, live music, hikes, Biltmore Estate and small local businesses—perfect for day trips from your mountain escape here.
To help you plan your trip, I’ve created a list of open favorite restaurants, breweries, hiking trails, and attractions in the “Neighborhood Description” section of this listing. These places are open and welcoming visitors after Hurricane Helene—and would truly love your visit and support.
Feel free to use my list and guidebook as a starting point, but please confirm with each establishment directly for the most up-to-date information and availability.
There is one mile of scenic gravel road before reaching the property. AWD is NOT required to access the property but some guests prefer it. Please see “other things to note” section for more info about roads, accessibility and vehicles.

Other things to note
Guidebook
Western NC is still recovering from Hurricane Helene, but many shops, restaurants, and trails are open and grateful for your support. My guidebook updates slowly post-Helene, so please check with businesses directly. To help you plan your trip, I’ve created a list of favorites that are open post Helene in the “Neighborhood description” under “Location” for quicker reference.
Access Routes
Roads from Asheville, Hendersonville, and Black Mountain are open. Chimney Rock access Highway 74 is open but the access point on highway 9 is still closed meaning there isn’t a direct route from the south coming from Lake Lure, Chimney Rock, Gerton or Bat Cave.
Gravel Roads/ Vehicle Access/ Mountain traveling
The treehouse is in a mountainous, rural area, with the final mile being a gravel road. Most of the road is not steep, with one moderate uphill switchback near the house and a few bumps, mainly around curves. All wheel drive is not required, and many neighbors and guests, including myself, regularly drive it in standard sedans without issue. If you are in a sedan, just take curves slowly and give a wide berth and you will be fine. Comfort levels with mountain roads vary, though, and some guests have stated they prefer all wheel drive. I share this so you have a clear picture of the road conditions and can decide what feels best before booking.
Cell Service
Reception is limited, but a signal booster is provided and adds a couple of bars. WiFi calling can also keep you connected.
Internet
High Speed Starlink WiFi is provided. Its suitable for most needs, with occasional brief slowdowns or drops during high usage or bad weather.
Appliances
No TV, DVD player, or dishwasher. The space is simple and peaceful—designed for rest and reconnection.
