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.

Short weekend
We took our kids to a weekend camp and needed a place to stay while we were in NC! This was a cute, quiet little place that allowed the adults to enjoy some downtime!

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!

Great Place
Loved staying here. Needed to wind down after the holidays. It was quiet, comfortable and clean. Had everything we needed to cook a few times. We also enjoyed a couple of restaurants in Flat Rock and a short hike at DuPont State Forest. Great place for couples needing a getaway.

Beautiful location
Stayed at the Tree House for a weekend and I must say it was just what we needed. It is decorated in a way you feel like you are staying at a friends place- very homey and comfortable. Bed was extremely comfy and just loved the mix of new and original. Hope to stay again!!

The Tree House Cottage did not disappoint
Perfectly comfortable stay at the Tree House Cottage - comfortable beds, hot shower, well appointed kitchen, nice hot tub and fire pit area and comfy living room seating created a very pleasurable vacation, not to mention the charm this home has to offer.

Great stay at the Treehouse cabin
Property was great, alot of privacy with all of the trees around. House was very clean, and comfortable. Would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a nice place to stay. Parking is a little tight, but more than enough for two cars. We intend on returning for a future trip

Cute, comfy cabin!
My friends and I came from Indiana for a girls weekend trip and we loved our stay! The cabin was clean, cute, and super comfy! We loved the lay out! It rained a bit and you could hear it on the roof which made it so comfy! The hot tub was great and it was just an overall great stay! Highly recommend!

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!

The Cutest Cabin - A Lovely Stay Near Lake Summit

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. !

Great location, great place
We had a great time staying here. Clean, attractively decorated, everything worked and it was well stocked for kitchen stuff. There were two things my brother wasn't fond of, he would have liked a better fry pan and a bigger parking spot. Of course he drives a Suburban so needs a large spot. The TV and internet worked great, the hot tub was clean and hot, the firepit was perfect. All in all, we really enjoyed the stay.

Cozy and enjoyable
Small, nicely decorated and very cozy for 4 people cabin. The communication with Kirk happens with the speed of light. If anything breaks it will be replaced or fixed in hours. The very best hikes are within an hour reach. Fire pit and a spa on the property are a big plus. Very comfortable beds. Great overall experience. Thank you, Kirk

Lovely spot!
We were just thrilled with this adorable, unique, dog-friendly rental close to Saluda, Flat Rock, and Hendersonville. The house is so cute and cozy. We spent a wonderful 3 days there grilling and hot tubbing on the deck, playing board games, and exploring local breweries and wineries. As a previous reviewer indicated, parking is to on either side of a steep gravel driveway, but that was fine -- it just required some maneuvering. Communication with the owner was very easy and Kirk is super responsive. We couldn't be more pleased with our stay!

A great getaway
Drive to Dupont State Park, Ashville, and Hendersonville were all at a good distance. Loved that we had a fire even in August since it was cool enough to do so, as well as a hot tub. Loved the screened in porch and kitchen had everything we needed. Thank you for a wonderful trip. Our only 4 star was walking are dog to do her thing. Not alot of grassy spots, so that was a bit of an issue for my dog, and realize not everyone has one, but overall a 5 start.

Cabin in the woods
Great place to relax and enjoy down time. This very old but charming rustic cabin has every little detail covered. Beds are little too big for the rooms they are in. Barely enough room to turn sideways to enter/exit bed. Other than that it is perfect. You definitely feel like your in a tree house.

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.

Liked: Listing accuracy
Cabin Rental
The cabin is cute but the beds are old and sagging. Very uncomfortable. There was a fire pit but no wood provided. Smelled moldy. Decoration was cute. We had to replace the batteries in the remotes to make them work. Two lights out in one bathroom. Overall - kind of disappointing.
