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.

We love the area and enjoyed exploring Flat Rock & Campfire Grill was an amazing spot to eat dinner. Didn't get to spend much time in the cabin but we really liked all the rustic decor, tin roof and hot tub!

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!

Mountain Gem

This cabin was exactly as depicted, extremely well suited and stocked for a weekend getaway. The host has taken care to leave pretty much anything you would need for a weekend stay, short of groceries. I would happily stay here again and definitely recommend it to any couple or small group. 5 stars isn’t enough.

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!

This dog-friendly house was the perfect place to get away from the noise and relax! We really enjoyed the screened in porch and hot tub. The beds were super comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked with the essentials, and the living area is very cozy.
