About this property

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.

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.

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!

Wonderful time in a cozy cottage

We have always wondered what a stay in Treehouse cottage would be like. Many many years ago, we stayed in the cottage a little down the hill from treehouse. That was our first trip to the Hendersonville area. We love this area and have returned often. This time we decided to relive the past and finally stay at Treehouse. We had a great time in the area again and a relaxing time in the cottage. The cottage may be very "vintage" but is very clean and well maintained. The host was very responsive and helpful. The only thing I would change would be the parking. Each cottage on that road has its own spot it's just a little difficult to maneuver because it's a little narrow. With the lay of the land there are no other options. Just take it slow and you'll be fine.

Adorable cottage, good location

The Treehouse Cottage was beautifully decorated and very cozy. We had a great time trying out the hot tub and then warming up by the fireplace. When we had an issue figuring out the propane heater, Kirk was quick to respond and very helpful. The location of the cottage is super close to both Saluda and Hendersonville. The beds were comfortable and the place was very clean. I would definitely stay here again, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Our Oasis in the Storm

1st of all… the host, Kirk, is literally an angel. Our situation was atypical, due to hurricane Helene our home was without power/water etc for 2 weeks. We had to leave our home close by in order to take care of our 13 month old while we waited for it to be safe to come back home. Kirk got us set up and in this beautiful, cozy house right away. He was so considerate and worked with us with our timeline being somewhat up in the air. Every aspect of this home was so comforting to us. Everything you needed was right there as far as amenities, a kitchen with everything you need to cook a delicious meal. I can’t over state how wonderful our stay was. You won’t be disappointed.

This is just a delightful and rustic mountain cabin. Loved the way it has been decorated with antiques, wood and special touches. The bath tub sitting on wooden stumps instead of claw feet was really neat. Was a great place to stay while we explored the Saluda/Flat Rock/Hendersonville areas

Perfect for a Relaxing weekend

The property was exactly as shown- yet somehow even more charming! We've been doing weekend trips together for several years, and this might be the best location (10- 15 minutes from wineries, antique shops, and groceries). The house is clean, cozy, and the chech in/out was simple. Highly recommend.

Treetop Stay

What we loved: Mostly clean (top of fridge, some insides of lampshades were dirty), pet friendly, hot tub (super clean) and the location suited us. Door locking/unlocking worked beautifully. What could have been better: Parking is small if you are driving a full-size truck. Sheets and towels could be of a higher quality as well for the T.P. and Paper Towels and pillows. What we didn't like: The 4 window A/C units, they were loud and really didn't blow much cool air. We had to bring the fan in from the porch to try and circulate the air. It was in the 90's outside when we stayed here.

Cabin charm meets modern

Loved this home, very well decorated with charming accents. Had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. We didn’t cook, but kitchen was well stocked had we chosen to cook. The bed was very comfy and great bathrooms. The setting was very private and peaceful. Keep in mind it is on hillside and there are several steps. We would definitely recommend and stay here again when we visit family that lives in log cabin nearby!

5th Annual Weekend Getaway

My family started a February weekend getaway 5 years ago. This cottage was a perfect place to stay. It is comfortable for cooking and hanging out in the evenings. We cooked all three nights and the kitchen was well stocked with the necessary utensils. Fireplace and hot tub were both great. The cottage is an easy day drive to surrounding areas, 12 Bones and Sierra Nevada were both excellent to visit.

beautiful energy and space

The treehouse is a beautiful place to stay. Kirk is very available is needed - although I did not need anything but to ask him if I could stay a bit longer ! The energy of the house was very loving and I could tell much love went into all the special touches. House is very close to Hendersonville and the cute area of Flat Rock. Enjoyed hot tub and fire pit - very private. I highly recommend the Treehouse for a special mountain getaway. Thank you Kirk. !
