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.

Wonderful property! Beautifully decorated with attention to the smallest detail. We loved the screened porch. Being able to zip into Flat Rock for a nice dinner for another plus. Absolutely recommend this charming and quaint cottage.

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!

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.

Wonderful Relaxing Getaway

Cozy but roomy with a mountain cottage feel. The property is close to other houses, but well positioned to maintain privacy. We could tell the owner/manager put a lot of thought into the little things you would need. The property is shaded enough that we could enjoy meals on the screened porch even in early summer. The bed was comfy and bathrooms were spacious. You’re just a few mins from Flat Rock and a few more from Hendersonville. There were lots of places to go hike and explore. It’s a wonderful spot and great place to stay. The owner/manager, Kirk, was communicative and available to message or call, but we did not have any need to reach out. We will likely be back!

Great little Tree House

This place met all our needs for a short respite on our way from one part of North Carolina to another. The hot tub was an especially nice feature and the cabin type house is thoughtfully decorated in keeping with the beautiful North Carolina Smokey Mountains

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.
