About this property
1890's Cabin With Modern Conveniences on a Beautiful Lake !
Come enjoy the beauty of the Blue Ridge with your stay at The Treehouse Cabin in Saluda. EXTENDED STAYS PREFFERRED AND DISCOUNTED. This 1890s cabin sits at 2,100 feet above the private lake community of Lake Hosea. The fully screened wrap around porch is a great way to relax after your day of adventure, shopping, or just hanging out at the lake. The quaint town of Saluda is less than 3 miles down the mountain with numerous restaurants and shops. Although you will feel like you are away from everything, the cabin is equipped with WiFi and a Roku TV to keep you and your family dialed in and entertained. Central heat and air is provided by multiple mini splits. Please note: the internet is DSL. I have never had a problem with internet use as well as streaming channels. I am a chord cutter, I do not have cable. Yet streaming can be slow. The Treehouse was built in the 1890s and has a rich history. Updated with modern conveniences the home includes a loft master bedroom with sitting area and work space and an alcove with a twin bed. Note that although the cabin features traditional A-frame ceiling, the loft ceiling is extremely tall and you will not have to crouch down like so many other cabins in this area. The cozy living room has a comfy large couch and two plush chairs. The Treehouse has a full bath upstairs including an antique claw foot tub with wrap around custom shower ring creating a large space to enjoy a refreshing shower.
The loft and the second bedroom, a sun porch with a sun splashed style with separate entrance, have new queen overstuffed chairs dresser and wardrobe. There is a small half bath/water closet is steps away from downstairs bedroom The kitchen is fully stocked with dishes, pots and pans, spice rack, flatware, a block knife set, coffee maker, microwave, and quality cookware. Full coffee and tea set is provided. The cabin has a charcoal grill on the back outdoor deck. Lake Hosea is a private community for residents only and you certainly feel that in the secluded woods as you enter the neighborhood. The lake is a wonder for swimming, fishing and non motorized craft (many floats provided). Be sure to watch out for the numerous ducks that live here – we all love them and care for them as part of our family! Please be sure to keep things inside and up and away. These are, after all, the mountains and the wild things live here, too!
PLEASE NOTE! Cell reception is not great in Saluda. Best bets are T Mobile, ATT, and Metro PCS.
. Yet if you have trouble making calls at the cabin jump to WiFi calling, it is pretty reliable for all providers. Messaging always works.
GETTING AROUND Food and Drink
Visit the "Mayberry RFD" of Western North Carolina. Saluda is a gem with may shops, yoga studios, great restaurants and so much more. If you need a little quiet time visit the Saluda public library. A smaller library with a big heart! Smack dab in the middle of town is Thompsons store and grille. The store has local produce and the meat and cheese are of the highest quality. Produce and wine also available. The quintessential small town grocery. Get some local honey!
