Hidden Gem

Great location for us, especially within short walking distance from Pops grill. I enjoyed walking around the boat yard early in the morning. The host was great, was present during our check in. Host also checked on us several times during the visit. Perfect little spot to get away and enjoy the beach for sure. It’s our 37th year visting Buxton. We will most definitely stay in the future.

Awesome Little Spot!

What a beautiful place to stay while visiting my favorite beach. The small space was perfect for my wife and I and we enjoyed it so much. Lisa, the owner, was just wonderful to talk with and she made sure we had everything we needed for our stay. The view from the Treehouse is great, the place is clean, and the bed is really comfortable. I will be saving the Treehouse to my favorites and when I am doing a night or a few on the island I'm gonna check with Lisa first to see if the Treehouse is available. Awesome place!!

They were okay, we were able to check in early, which was really nice. A kitchen sink would have been nice so that we didn’t need to use the restroom sink. A counter top oven would be great. The curtains need to be updated. The nightstands are worn and should be covered.The main reason for the low rating is because the owner smoked marijuana more than once when we were there. That is one of the main reasons we look for a property away from others. The smell made us feel nauseous, and was very rude.

Perfect room for one night stay!

This cute room was perfect for a nights stay in Buxton. Lisa was friendly and accomodating, and provided just about everything you need to enjoy not only the night there but the morning after as well. I cannot recommend this place enough if you are a single person or a couple looking for a place to stay for the weekend.

Birdsong

My husband and I came for just one night to explore the Cape. I enjoyed breeze coming in from the ocean and waking up to the sounds of birds. Lisa's place is clean and comfortable. It had everything we needed; also very close to Pop's, which had delicious and inexpensive seafood.

Perfect couple getaway

Gorgeous little treetop room with great views. Just outside Buxton with access to all amenities. Pops Bar and restaurant is 200 feet away, so stumbling distance home from the bar :) Hostess was amazing and responded immediately to any inquiries.

Quaint, quiet, treetop stay!

Lisa was great, I needed a place to crash a couple nights for an OBX wedding. Perfect 10 min drive south of Avon. Access to the lighthouse in a short drive or nice long walk around to the point of the cape. She suggested the Palmico Inn for breakfast, which was perfect during the mid week mornings.

The perfect single room beach getaway!

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect place for our getaway weekend at the beach. It was a quaint little treehouse that was very welcoming and made our short stay absolutely wonderful. We will definitely be returning with the anticipation of hopefully listening to the host perform.

The Treetop Retreat is a great place to stay

Lisa is a great host. She communicated details in advance of my stay. The day of check in she texted me to let me know the room was ready early. I met her the day I arrived and she was very welcoming. The room was exactly as stated in the description. It is clean and there was always a breeze coming off the sound. I enjoyed sitting on the dack in the evening and listening to the birds. After dark the stars were bright and the location is very tranquil. I felt safe and happy with my choice. I look forward to another visit.

About the host

Hosted by Lisa Cooper

Host profile image
I am an artist who has lived on Hatteras with my husband, also an artist, for 39 years. I now continue to live and work on Hatteras by myself. I play guitar and other instruments, sometimes in local venues. My work is part time at a beautiful gallery in Avon called Kinnakeet Clay, where I create various items from slabs of clay that we sell in the gallery.

Why they chose this property

We bought this property after living here for many years. My husband was an avid fisherman, gardener and painter, and living on Hatteras Island gave him opportunity to do all of these things. We enjoyed the small island community and I am glad to still be living here.
