About this property

Cozy Treehouse By Mt. Mitchell Golf Course & Fishing

“Mama said we had to let those rooms out...”
-Forrest Gump

So we’re inviting you to enjoy our cabin as much as we do!

The Treehouse is a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom cabin nestled in the trees in the South Toe River Valley of Burnsville, NC just minutes from fresh water fishing, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and Mount Mitchell Golf Course. Enjoy some of the best hiking, golfing, and scenery in Western North Carolina. Of course, there’s also a lot to be said for porch sitting, and relaxing at night by a crackling fire. Luckily, we have that too!

Staying at the Treehouse has all the best aspects of staying in a cozy cabin in the woods, with all the conveniences you need to maintain the creature comforts of home. When you step out onto the oversized deck you are surrounded by the natural landscape of beautiful Western North Carolina, with no major roads, noisy neighbors or obstructive views, instantly drawing you into the sights, sounds, and smells (ahhh the smells) of the valley. Pour yourself a beer or glass of wine and grab an adirondack; you are staring at Mt. Mitchell, the tallest peak East of the Misssissippi River. Grill out and dine on the deck, when it cools down, cozy up in front of the stone fire place, and when you’re plum tuckered from too much fun & relaxation, snuggle into some of the comfiest bedding you’ve ever slept in; there’s no night’s sleep like a night sleeping in the Mountains. On a morning or evening walk it’s not uncommon to see deer in the meadow right above the property, and of course, we’re only a hop from the Golf Course, a skip from the beautiful South Toe River (complete with numerous waterfalls), and a jump from the amazing Blue Ridge Parkway!

Asheville is only an hour away with some of the most amazing restaurants, breweries and live music as well as the Biltmore House and the Grove Park Inn.

A little piece of heaven on earth

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Treehouse! I've lost count on the number of times we have stayed there but it's definitely our favorite! The view is literally breathtaking. You can sit on the deck for hours taking it all in. We look forward to next time!

Another amazing stay

Our third trip to "Treehouse" and is consistently a great experience. The property is everything as described and we have already reserved two future visits this year based upon the limited availability over the next months. James is an extraordinary host who takes pride in sharing his home with others. We highly recommend this property for a relaxed getaway. It is tranquil with an incredible view of Mount Mitchell staring at you from the wrap around deck and dining table. This view and the massive wood burning fireplace makes the property one of the best values in North Carolina. Come and see.

My husband and I had a wonderful time at the beautiful location! We celebrated his 66th birthday. We visited the Biltmore and drove that winding, curved, fun, exciting 80 highway . The south highway also known as the Devil’s Whip.

NC Treehouse Stay

We enjoyed our stay at this cabin in the western NC mountains. The views of Mt. Mitchell from the deck and from the large picture windows were outstanding. The frequent visitors to the hummingbird feeder were an unexpected bonus.

Stunning Mountain Views

This is the second year we are staying in the Mt Michell. Absolute stunning place. The house is very private and tucked away under the trees. No stairs needed to access the house. Internet fast and stable. The huge glass doors offer stunning mountain views of the mountains. The house is very well laid out and lives comfortable. If you want privacy and seclusion this is the place for you. Will surely come back.

Nice Cabin in the Mountains

This was a lovely cabin in the Blue Ridge mountains. Incredible view of the mountains from cabin. Very close to an outstanding golf course. The thing that could use updating is the king size mattress.

Treehouse Rest and Relaxation!!!

We had a lot of rain and wind gusts but that didn't bother us at all! We spent 1 day in our PJs playing games ...we cooked out and sat on the deck listening to music and taking in all the beautiful scenery around us! Definitely God's Country! We can't wait to return!

Beautiful View and peaceful cabin

Everything as advertised. Natural lighting woke us up every morning and you could hear the nearby river. Great location close to nature and amazing small town shopping. Even though the weather was colder than we planned it gave us more time in cabin. James is an excellent host that is very responsive and full of info. Amazing stay.

Heavenly Honeymoon

My husband and I had the most wonderful honeymoon stay at the "Tree House" cabin. The views of Mt. Mitchell from the mountain-facing windows and balcony were absolutely breathtaking. The owner was incredibly helpful and responsive, making our experience even more enjoyable. The Tree House provides a cozy cabin experience with all the comforts of home. The oversized deck immerses you in the natural beauty of Western North Carolina, offering tranquility without the noise of major roads or neighbors. You can't beat the view of Mt. Mitchell, the tallest peak East of the Mississippi River. Don't forget to bring some firewood, you won't regret it. The cabin's bedding is incredibly comfortable, ensuring a great night's sleep in the mountains. On your morning walks, we saw several deer in the meadow above the property. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect honeymoon getaway.

Nice cabin, great location

Cabin was in a great location, with just a short drive to plenty of hiking trails in the Mount Mitchell area. There were great views of the mountains from inside, as well as from the very spacious deck. The cabin was clean and had everything you'd need for a pleasant getaway. James was spot on with communication and is a very responsive host. We will definitely book again and look forward to our next stay.

Piece of heaven

The Treehouse has become our favorite mountain spot. The view from the deck is breathtaking! We enjoyed our time cooking out on the grill, sitting on the deck, playing games, taking daily rides including driving in to Burnsville, driving up the Parkway to Mount Mitchell. We got tons of beautiful pics. Our pup also made herself at home! We can't wait to visit again!

Treehouse is an accurate description

My wife and I had a great stay at Treehouse. The full glass windows and doors along with the expansive deck provided a great view of Mount Mitchell. The property is cozy and creates a very private retreat. We have already booked another visit next month. James was extremely prompt with all communications and offered a local knowledge of the area which was appreciated.

Quiet Well Equipped Lodging

The view was awesome. Clean and comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with lots of cooking pots and pans. Space heaters in bedroom closets. The highs were in the 50's during our visit. Did not have central heating or air conditioning. Wall unit near the bedrooms. Hot water was plentiful. Good Base camp for exploring the area. Spent Saturday wandering downtown Burnsville. Live music on the streets. Be careful in driveway. My little SUV was good but bigger cars might be an issue. Truly enjoyed our visit.

Fabulous property and hosts, but annoying garbage situation (with after-booking notice)

The superb: Feasting your eyes on the view of Mt. Mitchell, your jaw just kind of drops. Wonderful spacious deck with Adirondack chairs and a large family-sized picnic table. Also, I have now fulfilled my peculiar ambition of having lived (if only for a handful of days) in a round house :-D "Treehouse" is the perfect name. A Hooded Warbler came and landed on a branch that is level with the deck railing. The beds are all comfy (two out of three from actually sleeping, one from lying down on the quilt while making the Goldilocks evaluation on which bed to sleep in). I chose the loft; my sister chose the "master" bedroom. Note for non-short people: I'm 5'10" and would easily have hit my head on a cross beam when coming up or going down the stairs from the loft. My choice, but I'm just saying, be aware, if your party consists of three couples with at least one person as tall as me. Really cool to have a whole floor to myself. Kitchen is well-stocked, with a kettle for tea or coffeemaker if that's your preferred drink. Host was wonderfully and timely communicative. He was also very warm and welcoming and accommodating of questions. The so-so: 10am is a bit early for checkout. I was a bit confused by the welcome guide I received on what was provided and what was not concerning "consumables". I thought I might need to bring my own dish detergent but turned out a courtesy bottle was awaiting us and we didn't even use half of it up. Also, I'm not sure where this would go and perhaps it's a flaw in VRBO's listing format, but I would have preferred knowing very well up-front about having to cart out our own garbage (I still did because I read all the reviews, but ideally I wouldn't have to go to that length). If you didn't read all the reviews, you won't know this until the booking is complete and you're set to sign the rental agreement. This still will be likely weeks before you get there, but again, would be best to know up front. As the host will tell you, there are bears, and I wasn't exactly thrilled to have the garbage in my car on a Sunday (the convenience center was closed) and just have to "cross my fingers" while my sister and I went on our final hike of the vacation. It would be reasonable to ask the visitors to round up garbage from all the little cans into one big bag and secure it in the can on the deck when leaving, and then it seems the cleaning staff would be able to take it when they come to clean. Not sure why it's like it is.

About the host

Hosted by James McKeever

Host profile image
Welcome to our Treehouse! We are James & Cameron McKeever. We live full time in Ozona, Florida, a small coastal city on the West coast of Florida near the Clearwater Beach area. Throughout our travels of the US, we have discovered and hold true to the belief that these are the best two places a person can possibly find! We try to spend as much time at the Treehouse as we can, and it is truly our second home, not just a rental. We only hope you enjoy staying in our home as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

We found the Treehouse while visiting the area with a friend who also had property in the South Toe River Valley. Out of the five or six properties we looked at, this was the first and only I (Cameron) needed to see. When we walked in, it felt exactly like my Grandfather’s cabin we used to stay in growing up as a kid. We had the greatest memories of that little cabin in the woods, and couldn’t wait to make our own. With James surrendering to the fact that there’s simply no competition for fond memories, we bought it in 2005, and over the past several years not only have we put our blood, sweat, tears and hearts into it (we just call it ‘good mojo’), but we have fallen head over heels in love with the South Toe Valley, and Asheville. Leaving is always a heartbreak.

What makes this property unique

House is away from road and private with huge open deck nestled in the trees, and view of Mount Mitchell. Inside amenities include new appliances, new HVAC, new bedding & new fireplace. Open living room with wall of windows brings the outside in. Feels like a cozy cabin in the woods but with all the modern conveniences.
