About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Tree Top Getaway - Tree Top Getaway close to Fontana Lake and NOC - Free Passes!

Free Activities Included Every Day! To enhance your vacation experience, free admissions are included every day of your stay to some of the most popular attractions the area has to offer such as the Biltmore, Smoky Mountain Railroad, white water rafting, jeep excursions, and more! Daily value of $250.

Feel like you are sleeping in the tree tops at this adorable log home perched aside a mountain with a gorgeous view from every vantage point. Every image you have about a cabin in the mountains comes to life here from the cozy covered porch to the high vaulted ceilings with enormous windows, to the mountain-rustic design elements. Remote learners or workers will enjoy the fast internet, and there's even an in-house printer for your use. But it's not all work, be sure to get out to Fontana Lake via the Almond Boat Park just a few minutes away. The mountain biking trails at Tsali or the river attractions at the Nantahala Outdoor Center (NOC) are only minutes away, too. Or, this is a perfect basecamp for experiencing the other convenient attractions like Cherohala Skyway, Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest, Cherokee Indian Reservations, and even Asheville.

Your main commercial base will be the charming town of Bryson City, an easy 15 minute drive from Tree Top Getaway. This quaint mountain escape has craft breweries, charming shops, family restaurants, and is home to the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad. There is also a drugstore, modern grocery store, and ABC (not on Sundays). Bryson City is also one of the gateway entries to the Smoky Mountains National Park, via the gorgeous area called Deep Creek. There you can enjoy ample parking for tubing, waterfall hikes, horseback riding, and picnicking, all in the National Park but only 10 minutes out of downtown Bryson City.

The main level of the cabin has a great room with the wall of windows and gas-log, stone fireplace. The main entry comes in from the covered front porch but sliding doors also open to the open deck which has a hot tub and long-range view. The fully-equipped kitchen and dining area combined with the gas grill will satisfy most cooks, and the outside firepit will roast the marshmallows under the stars for ghost stories and S'mores. Firewood, as well as propane for the grill, are provided. The is a regular coffee machine (we supply filters) and a Keurig (starter K-cups are provided, but please bring more of your favorite blend).

The main level also hosts the king master bedroom where you'll find a TV and office area (wifi printer is already set up for guest use) with attached master bathroom. A large garden tub or a shower are available in this bathroom.

Upstairs is a second bedroom and bathroom. The bed here is queen-sized, and the bathroom has a shower/tub combo.

Like all of the properties in the Watershed collection, we supply most basic needs like an iron and ironing board, cleaning supplies, bathroom amenities, etc - but we also include items you may not expect like firewood and kindling as well as a spare propane tank for the gas grill. We try to equip the kitchen with more than you'd expect, tooo i. So if you don't see what you need, the local management office is there 7 days a week, even if it's a knife sharpener, kabob skewers, or wine opener, you are looking for. We have these stocked in our local office to make sure we can help.

A note about the community, setting, access, and privacy: This home is located in a gated mountain community that is quite popular for tourists because it is so centrally located. Homes are fairly spread out although you will see the neighbor here. The neighbor here it is not a rental property, and the owners are only there a couple times per year, so you likely won't ever hear anyone there, and the hot tub area has a privacy sun shade so you are blocked from the neighbor but not the beautiful majestic view of the mountains. Front door area is monitored by a security camera.

This is a great 2 bedroom 2 bath home. It is fully equipped plus has a whirlpool tub and outside hot tub. The management company is proactive and reached out to make sure we got settled in and all is well. I would stay here again. If you have a lowered vehicle, come during this day time to avoid any scraping on your car’s underside. We were able to make it to the driveway without scraping.

Best Weekend Ever!

We absolutely loved everything about this cabin. Everything was clean, the view was beautiful, and the cabin was adorable. The only negative thing I can say is the sheets were too stretched out and we had to keep readjusting the fitted sheet. But that's an easy fix and we would come back again in a heart beat!

Thanksgiving Trip

Location and view were nice. However the cabin wasn’t very clean (100+ dead lady bugs on the window sills and on the floor). King bed was also very uncomfortable. It was an older cabin, that needs a little love - a bit worn for our taste.

Nice Place, Nice View, lacks in privacy. 7.5/10

Overall the cabin was nice, in a nice area, with a nice view. however the listing failed to show the neighboring cabin. Not a 10/10 property imo. needs some additional screening between the hot-tub (which is in full view of the neighboring cabin) and the neighboring cabin. Considering that and with the owner requiring every fee imaginable, requests for background checks, and the overall cost itself, it gets a 7.5 out of 10.

Quaint cabin

Neighbors were close we could hear them talking on the deck and unobstructed view to their deck. Not motorcycle friendly. One lane drive way was ok until a silver Ram truck came down as we were going up and didn’t give us room to pass and ran us into the grass. Everyone else we encountered on the driveway was courteous and used caution when navigating the driveway.

Beautiful cabin in the woods

My husband and I celebrated our 13 year anniversary here with just the 2 of us. The views and little touches to the cabin makes you feel such at peace. Its very quiet. The drive up the mountain is a little scary at first but once you figure out where you are, its easy. Hot tub privacy screen is not very private with a neighbor directly behind you with a window looking out., we did not utilize the hot tub for that reason. The king size bed makes a lot of noise when you move or roll over at night. Overall this cabin was absolutely perfect. We did not utilize any of the free activities. We went hiking to Alum Cave and Clingmans dome. Highly recommend Kallisto, Jimmy Macs, Cardinal Coffee and Rivers End Restaurants. We shopped some in Bryson city. I would recommend this cabin to a couple for a romantic getaway in the woods or for a small family of 4. It was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. It was within 15-30 mins of pretty much anything you needed. If we come back to this area, we would definitely stay here again. Check in and out was super easy with not a crazy list to complete before leaving. Highly recommend. 5 Stars *****

Blissful and Adventurous

The “Treetop Getaway” was the perfect home for our family of 4. Beautiful home with gorgeous views. We enjoyed the games, puzzles, hot tub, and outside eating at the house. Very clean and comfortable beds. We took advantage of several of the NOC adventures with our 8 and 10 year olds. Many great memories made!

Gorgeous Hidden Cabin

This is a beautiful cabin hidden away on the top of a mountain. It's a gated community so there are other cabins and neighbors, but you will only see them occasionally, usually on the road coming in. Each cabin is separated by woods, but they are close enough to be within vocal range. This cabin has one next to it that is visible from the back deck. The neighbors were there for part of the week but we only heard them a few times. The hot tub and windows gave us a spectacular view of the mountains. We watched a breathtaking storm roll in over the valley. My only complaints are that the listing listed a DVD player as part of the amenities, but this is not there. Contacting management, they stated that previous owners took it with them. There is a smart TV so it was only a minor annoyance, but I prefer ad-free watching. The only other complaint is that the privacy screen at the hot tub does not feel like it is as private as it is supposed to be. It's a triangle shape that does not feel like it offers much in terms of privacy. Other than these things, this is a great place to stay.

Amazing place for respite and relaxation

This cabin was cozy and clean. The best part was the mountain view from the deck. I enjoyed seeing the deer that came from the woods almost daily and listening to the birds from the rocking chairs on the deck. This lovely place had everything anyone could need and I could definitely see myself coming back again.
