The Treehouse Banner Elk--minutes from Beech & Sugar skiing!

Unique! Minutes to Grandfather Mtn., ski resorts and whitewater rafting.

Designed and built as the model home for the Eagle's Nest community. Built entirely of Nordic whole timber, a classic treehouse surrounded by old growth forrest.

Sleeps 8, two kings up in the loft, one king on the main level and a queen pull-out in the game room. The living/sleeping area is one large, two story room, with beds separated by floor to ceiling drapes for privacy.  Ideal for families or close friends who appreciate one another's company.

Jacuzzi tub, steam shower, Nest of New York bath products and recreation/game room.

Kitchen is a kitchenette/galley kitchen.  There is a stove top, small oven and microwave, along with a Blackstone gas grill on the deck.

The home does have central heat, but there is no AC, which is rarely needed since the cabin is in the woods and temperatures infrequently get out of the 70's in the summer.  Open the windows and enjoy the fresh mountain air.

Pack light...there are more than 40 steps up to the TreeHouse!

Fiddlehead does not accept pets.
Make yourself comfortable in this cabin, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and a stovetop. A kitchenette is outfitted with a microwave. Conveniences include a coffee/tea maker and a washing machine.
Take advantage of recreation opportunities such as a sauna, or other amenities including an arcade/game room and barbecue grills.

Very beautiful scenery all around the property. The cabin had a lot of great character and was close to the downtown area. Short distance to Beech and Sugar mountain which was nice to visit.

Birthday Trip

Friends and I celebrated my boyfriend's birthday here. The cabin was as expected from the pictures. It was nice and clean, somewhat secluded, the views were great, and it was very relaxing. It was very close to the Beech Mountain tubing and not far from the Alpine Coaster, which we took advantage of. Booking was very easy, and the host was very timely with messages. Would definitely recommend and would stay here again.

Great Mountain Getaway!

Amazing home with great porch to enjoy! Very easy check-in and not overly complicated to get to. We loved our time here! The only thing that took any effort was staying cool, but overall the house was shaded and allowed for a great crosswind during the day. Temps were unusually high, so I would suspect it to be negligible for future guests! Thanks for the stay!

Perfect!

The house was beautiful! Even though it’s one big, gigantic two story “room”, there is still plenty of privacy! Breathtaking is the only words to describe the view! Just remember it IS a Treehouse….Lots of steps! Host was amazing with the million questions I asked him!

The Tree House

Our stay at the ‘Treehouse’ in Banner Elk, NC, was absolutely delightful. The space was immaculate, offering breathtaking views and stunning sunsets that made each evening memorable. The attention to detail in cleanliness was evident, contributing to a truly relaxing experience. Billy, the host, was exceptional—responsive and attentive to any questions or needs we had. We look forward to returning soon. If you're seeking a perfect mountain retreat, this place is awesome! Andrew (Charleston,SC)

NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART! Seriously, you need to climb 49 steps to get to the front door. The pictures show a lower entrance, but it is NOT part of the cabin. Anyone who is not physically fit, or has a heart condition should not consider this place. There are other issues to list, but if you have an emergency, there is no cell service. Good Luck.

Like being in a treehouse, peaceful.

Spectacular, beautiful home that feels like you’re in a treehouse. Great views, comfortable beds, warm duvets, steam shower. Windows open easy to let in cool air in summer- temps in the 70s in July up here. The beds at top are in the same room with curtains for some privacy, as is the bed on main floor in the living area, but for a small family that was excellent! Loved waking up to the views and greenery everywhere. The steps up are difficult to get to. This is NOT in Eagle’s Nest community. That neighborhood is next street, so that was confusing since listed as model home. We love this place! Google maps make sure it’s set to Banner Elk.
