Your own tranquil Treehouse with the most reliable and fastest fiber optic internet (250+mbps) in the mountains is secluded on 2.5 acres of silver birch, mountain laurel and hardwoods, only 3 miles from downtown Highlands. The charm here is magical for a perfect romantic getaway or to just get away from it all. Authors have written books here! It is a unique place from which to hike nearby Whiteside Mountain or enjoy the waterfalls, trout streams, restaurants, shopping and seasonal festivals, concerts and theater of the Highlands region.
When you first arrive, you may enter the Treehouse from the front porch, which has easy access for the mobility impaired and has stacks of firewood for your use during cooler months. You may also enter from the long, high back porch with its swing and porch lounge chairs overlooking wooded grandeur as the land falls away beneath you. Both porches run the width of the house.
You will enter the Great Room with its 22+ feet high cathedral ceiling that gives a wonderful feeling of spaciousness and windows that let in the abundance of natural light and the forest outside. You will view the beautiful dining and living room areas, the rock fireplace, and a very comfortable sofa in front of a coffee table filled with local literature of things to see and do. Just beyond, high on the back wall, you will see a 50" Smart TV with Direct TV, Roku, Netflix and more. You will be standing on thick hardwoods throughout the house.
As you look around, you will notice the dark granite counters and wood cabinets in the full kitchen. The windows by the indoor fireplace overlook the outdoor fire pit area surrounded by rocking chairs. The outdoor fire pit circle is at the end of a long gravel driveway and has a picnic table with umbrella as well as a park style grill. (This is the lower level driveway but there is also parking right in front of the cabin.)
Walk towards the back door and you can turn into the master bedroom with its comfy, king size bed and full bath. All luxury linens and towels are provided and beds will be made when you arrive. Go back to the Great Room and you can go up the stairs to the high, open loft bedroom with its queen size bed, writing desk, and full bath with shower.
The Treehouse is fully furnished. High speed fiber optic internet and WIFI and free long distance calling in the United States on the land line are provided. Mobile reception in the mountains can be spotty but if you enable WiFi Calling on your cellphone & connect to the Treehouse WiFi, reception is good.
Day or evening, you may want to swing or rock on the porch. Enjoy a beverage and the ultimate peace and tranquility of deliciously cool days and crisp nights of summer and early fall. In the late fall and winter months, a warm and cozy fire in the rock fireplace will beckon.
Highlands and Cashiers have incredible restaurants, unique shops, golf, hiking, waterfalls, and trout streams.
