This is the second time we stayed on this road but the first time at this particular home. It was fantastic and we really enjoyed our stay. Very conveniently located between Cashiers and Highlands so you can easily get back and forth to both.

Perfect little getaway!

Such a beautiful area for a peaceful getaway. The cabin was clean and well equipped. The thick, lush mountain laurels gave so much privacy felt like we were the only people around. Would definitely recommend! Thank you for sharing your sweet little piece of tranquility!

We had a peaceful 3 day weekend. It wasn’t cool enough for a fire, but it was still cozy. The house had all the supplies we needed, including coffee filters and a choice of 2 coffeemakers - Drip and Keurig with disposable filter, too! Nice location, close to both downtown Highlands and Cashiers. We did lots of hiking, ate great food and slept well! It was just what we needed.

About the host

Hosted by CST Dunn

Host profile image
On June 1st 2020, Chris, Sarah and their son Tom Finn Dunn became the grateful new owners of the Highlands Treehouse.

The Dunns reside in Houston Texas and have been vacationing in the Highlands/Cashiers area for nearly a decade. What started out as just “visiting the grandparents” quickly became an anticipated part of their family tradition to escape hot Houston summers.

Chris is a professor of English and Creative Writing at Houston City College and Sarah works as a nurse. Tom Finn attends DeBakey High School. The Dunns have two rescue dogs Maude and Margot who also head up to the mountains to make fun filled memories.

The Dunns have made many mountain friends and look forward to sharing the best of the mountains with their guests, for whom they wish to create a truly exceptional experience. If you have any questions or special requests, please give us a call. We look forward to having you visit.

Why they chose this property

We have been visiting the mountains of western North Carolina for nearly a decade and have fallen in love with the area. We decided to purchase The Treehouse, so we could make a permanent connection with the mountains and waterfalls and old growth forests that make up the Highlands and the surrounding region. We have taken great care in keeping the magical atmosphere that the previous owners, our new friends Larry and Debi, created at The Treehouse. For those guests who have experienced Larry and Debi’s hospitality and the quiet beauty of the home and property, we want to assure you that we are keeping in place all that make The Treehouse such a special place.
