Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Cherokee County

As Featured in Southern Living -5 min to town!

Get away from it all when you stay under the stars in Eli's Treehouse. The focus is fun-slide from deck, dart board, zipline, swing set, tight rope, cornhole, ninja hanging coarse, camp fire & a hiking trail! Eli was inspired by Treehouse Master's & began planning, investing with his own money at 7 years old. The project began as a piece of plywood in the trees and decided he'd build it top notch- 4 years of b-day & Christmas gifts and working his job. 1/2 proceeds go to feeding homeless.
