The Carpentree Treehouse - Luxury Treehouse 18 min from Highlands
Summary:
A creative spin on the classic A-frame at Highlands Treehouse Retreat, this treehouse rises with four peaks, echoing a cluster of mountain ranges. Inside, intricate carpentry details honor the craftsmanship of its builders, while features like the indoor net loft and kid-friendly play area make it just as fun as it is beautiful. Comfortable for up to 4 adults and 2 kids, this treehouse is equal parts adventure and relaxation.
The Space:
With 600 sq. ft. of indoor space and 880 sq. ft. of decks, the Carpentree blends cozy cabin style with playful treetop design. The showstopper? A massive 400 sq. ft. suspended outdoor net that leads to a dreamy “love nest” lookout - perfect for stargazing high above the forest.
Guest Access:
Each guest will enjoy access to the property’s amenities, including the Treetop Playground, Self-Service Boutique, and Natural Spa with Sauna & Cold Plunge (available November 2025).
Other Things to Note:
Before your arrival, we kindly ask that you review and sign our vacation rental agreement that will be sent by message. This is a standard step required by North Carolina for all short-term rentals and helps ensure everything is clear and smooth for your stay. Please sign and send it back to us within 48 hours of booking. Without a signed agreement, we won’t be able to honor your reservation, and you will be refunded.
If you have any questions about the agreement or your upcoming stay, please do not hesitate to reach out.
We look forward to welcoming you soon to our treehouse haven!
