Vintage camp meets Scandinavian modern in this new glamping treehouse which shares its lofty location with the crimson cardinal.

Soak in a private hot tub under the stars, gather around the fire pit. This new romantic getaway adjoins 1000+ acres of conservation land. Set above an ancient rhododendron canopy, the treehouse provides a luxurious, eco-friendly treetop habitat in close proximity to downtown Asheville.

The space
Whimsical and modern, the earthy warmth of “the Cardinal” treehouse inhabits the Appalachian environment as a unique and luxurious escape.

With heat and AC, the treehouse and outhouse are connected by exterior bridges, creating minimal environmental impact on the ancient landscape.

The open-plan living space includes a kitchen pod with essentials - coffee pot, tea kettle, microwave and sink - a dining booth placed to capture mountain views, a double bed layered with Pendleton blankets, a vintage electric cone fireplace, and sleek wood paneling creating a modern but cozy interior. The oversized windows double as a reading nooks surrounded by curated local novels and area guides to help plan excursions.

Special amenities for guests include a mini fridge with water filter, fresh coffee, tea and s’mores packets. The host also provides a miniature “merch store” where guests can purchase mugs, hats, koozies and other souvenirs. All proceeds are donated to area nonprofits working to end homelessness.

The outdoor living space is positioned perfectly to enjoy sunsets from the large round hot tub. The patio includes a swinging egg-chair, Adirondack chairs, picnic table and a red solo stove for s’mores roasts. The property includes a custom outhouse with portajohn emptied twice per week, and 2 camp shower bags for use in an outdoor shower platform with heated water from the sun or electric tea kettle.

Dogs are welcome!

This cozy cabin is just 1 mile to the Warren Wilson trails and 4 miles from the hiking trails and waterfalls of Pisgah National Forest, perfect for peaceful forest bathing.

Stunning long range views are 2.5 miles away along the Blue Ridge Parkway.

The treehouse is 8 miles to Biltmore Estate & Winery and vibrant downtown Asheville.

Just one hour away, enjoy a breathtaking scenic drive to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park for an unforgettable day trip.

Guests will receive an extensive Guidebook with a wide variety of recommendations, from a local’s perspective.
