About this property
Holly Forest Treehouse - Dogs Welcome!
This property is not only pet-friendly, it's PETS ENCOURAGED! This recently renovated treehouse is a 2 bed/2bath that boasts an additional Dog Suite, so your furry family members have a space all their own! There is an outdoor dog bath (including shampoo & towels) as well as a large fenced-in Dog Play Area. And NO PET FEES! (3 dogs max, unless approved in advance by owner).
For our human guests, the property is on a very private wooded lot and includes an outdoor fire pit, hammock, and outdoor deck. There is also a wood burning fireplace in the great room. The master bedroom has an en-suite bathroom, king size bed, and Smart TV. The secondary bedroom has a queen size bed. There is an extra twin bed (upper bunk) in the Dog Suite if needed (the lower bunk is reserved for dogs only). There is also a small office space, should you need to check in with work while visiting the area. Unlike many other mountain locations, this treehouse offers a strong cell signal and wifi.
The property is easily accessible from Hwy 64, and is approximately 7 minutes from the Sapphire Valley Resort. Guests of the property are eligible to purchase an amenity card for the Sapphire Valley Resort. The amenity card provides the user access to the private lake, fitness center, arcade, mini-golf, horse shoe pit, basketball court, track, and dog park. (For more info about the amenities and seasonal events check out www.sapphirevalleyresort.com)
Narrows Falls is located within the community and is a 15 minute walk from the property. 60 minutes to Asheville Airport, 25 minutes to Highlands, 15 minutes to Gorges State Park, 35 minutes to Brevard & Pisgah National Forest, and 60-75 minutes to Cherokee & Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
NOTE: Although the driveway is paved and has ample parking, there are 12-15 stair steps from the parking area to the treehouse, so if you have mobility issues, this may not be an appropriate property for you.

We spent a week at the property and it is a great place to stay. The house is in a great location and clean and plenty of room and everything was just as it says on Vrbo . This was our second time staying there and plan to book this property on our next trip there.
Our stay was great! Jodi was quickly responsive on communicating with her! Her place was very nice and in a great location. Family enjoyed the skiing at the resort, hikes, and driving to nice waterfalls near by. Definitely thinking about booking this place again late this year again!
We loved our time at the Holly Forest Treehouse. It was perfect for me, my husband & puppy. Super pet-friendly! We would definitely rent again! Thank you for a great stay!
We (and our dogs) had a blast! They loved exploring the woods and waterfalls (and having their own dog room) and we loved the convenience of the cabin to the wedding hotels/downtown. It was great to sit on the porch in the mornings with coffee and watch the world go by. We will definitely be back!
The house and grounds were like living in a tree house in the woods. The deck was really nice as was the inside of the cabin. It was modern with a rustic charm. Everything was clean and Jodi provided all one would need. The location is very close to restaurants and amenities in Sapphire. Looking forward to returning!
The house was exactly as described on VRBO! The outdoor area was perfect for our fur baby — he loved the trail and the screened-in deck. The “dog house” was adorable, and he spent lots of time there. Inside, everything was neat, cozy, and well stocked with everything we needed. The beds were super comfortable, too! The location was great — we enjoyed exploring Cashiers and Sapphire for shopping and dining. Excellent communication with Jodi. We highly recommend "The Holly Forest Treehouse" to anyone looking for a relaxing mountain getaway!
Incredible stay! We were constantly surprised by the little sweet and thoughtful details we found all over the house! The dog room is so incredible! We hope to stay again soon!
Spent a week here just the wife and I with the dog. Had a great time. Worked all week remotely and explored nearby parks and waterfalls. We had everything we needed. Loved the patio and screened porch.
The home was located near everything my family and I wanted to visit. The home had everything there we needed. Internet was great, the dog yard and dog room was also a nice bonus. Would recommend to anyone looking for family adventures in the National Forests and Parks to stay here.
Everything two grown parents, an adult daughter and a playful dog could ask for. Worry-free and stress-free. Stocked kitchen, thoughtful house instructions and a private location. Beyond dog friendly, but you don’t need a pet to enjoy all The Treehouse has to offer.
