Treehouse in Marion

Private Treehouse Escape| Luxury • Hot Tub • Views

RileyRating, 5 stars4 days ago

We really enjoyed this "slice of heaven"! We booked this spot for our honeymoon and couldn't have asked for better. The views are amazing and the cabin was so clean. The town just down the road was charming and had great food and coffee spots. We loved getting the chance to feed the farm animals, too. This was an awesome spot and we would recommend it to anyone looking for a private and quiet oasis in the Appalachian mountains!

This weekend getaway with my family at "the view" was one of my favorite weekends ever. It was in a great location a beautiful cabin, with one of the best views you could imagine. This will be a forever memory, and can't wait for an opportunity to be back. 5 star experience for sure.

4 BR Cabin, Privacy, Views, Hot Tub, Close to Town

AlexandraRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Stayed here with 6 adults, 3 dogs, and 1 infant and had plenty of room and more! The house was truly beautiful and had all great things to do inside like board games and ping pong for when we had poor weather, and outside like nearby hiking trails and a hot tob for nice weather days. We especially loved relaxing on the spacious deck. Thank you for a great stay! One thing to note if visiting is the amount of road work going on the area leading up to the house due to the hurricane damage. Plan to leave early if trying to get there at a certain time because you will be delayed in road work.

Verbena Vista - Mountain View with Hot tub

JoeyRating, 5 stars2 months ago

Do not think twice about this cabin rental. The home is absolutely perfect! The kitchen has everything you need (spices, oil, tools, space, keurig, drip, all the things you hope it will have when you show up) The couch is incredibly comfortable. The beds too are amazing. Main bathroom has a very modern shower and toilet. But most of all the deck and the view are worth every penny. We spent most of our time reading and drinking coffee from the chairs on the deck. And it was so peaceful and relaxing. We had a brief issue with a power outage but a) they have a generator that automatically turned on and b) the owner was proactively communicative to let us know and kept tabs that we were okay and when the power went back on. Wish we could have stayed longer. Rent it for a day or two longer because you won’t want to leave. Thank you to Susie and the team who hosted us, we had exactly the trip we needed

Cozy cabin w/hot tub, views + 5mins downtown

LeahRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

We loved our stay in Black Mountain! The cabin was cozy with gorgeous views and modern amenities. The house was clean and clutter free with comfortable seating and beds. If anything the photos don’t do it justice! Very responsive and friendly hosts. We can’t wait to return to Black Mountain and would definitely book the cabin again!

Seehaus at Lake James

Lenny NashRating, 5 stars2 months ago

This is a well appointed house on a fantastic lake-front lot. It was just my family of 5, but this house could comfortably accommodate 12 or more. We found everything we needed at the house, including games, corn hole, an outdoor firepit, and the kitchen had everything we needed. The view of the lake is beautiful and the whole house seems to be oriented to highlight the sunset. Really nice.

Cabin in Spruce Pine

Sunset in Little Switzerland

MarthaRating, 5 stars7 months ago

What a wonderful place to stay. Rest and relaxing in a beautiful home in little Switzerland. Everything perfect. Good luck booking it. We tried to book again and it is so popular nothing available. If you can find availability book it! You will not be disappointed! It was probably one of the most special homes we have ever stayed in. Thank you for a restful spotless home.

Mountain View, Fire Pit: Roomy Blue Ridge Home!

MonichaRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Loved our stay here! Having a bathroom with every bedroom was great for our group. Tons of fridge space, large living area. It really is a perfect spot for a group! It is very quiet and pretty private. There is another house up the hill but it’s plenty far enough away that you can’t see or hear anyone there. Not much around, but we did have dinner at J Hartman’s about 20min away and we highly recommend it. We would definitely stay here again!
