Experience camping-lite in the Treehouse. Stay in a primitive cabin with no electricity, no running water and have a homesteading adventure . This mountain hollow is a great place for playing, learning new skills, reconnecting with nature, or just getaway from it all. The cabin is bordered by a creek and surrounded by woods, hills, flatland, and a wetland. This park-like setting is a fabulous way to vacation alone, with family, or friends. Many amenities are included in the cabin.

Located in the Brushy Mountains of Western North Carolina, this peaceful refuge, is nestled between a rock shelf and a creek. The little hollow is a great place for play or just getting away from it all.
Walk down the steep hillside to the 12x12 insulated cabin, which is extended with a 10x12 ft. deck. The Tree House hangs off of a rock ledge and is supported by trees. Whether rain or shine, this location is peaceful, private, and serene. Dogwood trees hang gracefully over the deck. Larger trees dapple the large, private site with partial shade. Wade into the shallow stream, sit on the deck, rest near the fire pit, or sit on the tree swings, and hammocks, and listen to the little stream that borders the camp.
The interior of the cabin is small, simple, but comfortable and includes a loft with a queen sized bed and a futon. The kitchen includes cabinets for storage and a place for food preparation. To make your stay easier, we have added a few essentials, food items, as well as cooking equipment. On the deck there is Coleman cooking stove available for your use.
The paths have solar lights so you can find your way in the dark. It is very, very dark at night under the tree canopy. Please bring a flashlight so you can get around safely.
There is a small, exterior, but attached outhouse with a sawdust composting toilet.
For those in your company who prefer a more primitive camping experience, there is plenty of room to pitch tents. If you have a larger group of people, you can also book our second site, The Suspended Sanctuary Tree Tent. The two sites are close enough for easy visiting but far enough a part for privacy.
Play in the stream, follow the brook down to the neighbor's horse pasture, and into the woods, or wander upstream to the man-made waterfall. Walk up the gravel road to our farm and meet our goats, chickens, donkeys, and horses. This is a working hobby farm.
WINTER CAMPING: The wood stove that you see in the photos is merely decoration. There is no stovepipe. While many are capable of using a wood stove, all it takes is one mistake. So, we have provided a Mr. Heater Buddy that runs on 1# propane canisters. Please bring your own fuel. The directions on the Mr. Heater says that it burns 6 hours on low and 3 hours on high. The cabin is insulated and stays warm. Where we live, it is cold at night and often pleasant during the day.
This is a camping experience. There are spiders, bugs, crayfish, snakes, wild animals, dirt, etc. Please bring bug-spray.
Guest access
The cabin and all the property nearby is for you to use. There is a small area of the creek which is also available for our second campsite guests. There is quite a bit of distance between the cabin and the lower part of the creek.
Other things to note
The cabin easily sleeps four people. However, if you have additional people in your group, there is plenty of room for tents on the premises. Look at the photos for group photos. Also, many guests have put a tarp over the deck to keep out rain and sun. It helps to extend the living space of the house. Ask for details.
