[Updated December 9, 2022]
The Western North Carolina mountains have practically everything you could possibly want if you’re looking for a back-to-nature getaway.
Home to the five tallest mountains east of the Mississippi, countless cascading waterfalls, adventurous hiking trails, and bustling mountain towns, the region offers beautiful scenery every which way you turn.
After a full day of exploring this nature-lovers’ haven, visitors will need a place to come back to. And what better place to continue the outdoor adventures than a treehouse-style cabin?
You might immediately envision the treehouses you played in during your childhood– small, rustic, and barely held together by nails and two-by-fours.
Of course, that wouldn’t be ideal for a Blue Ridge Mountains getaway. But there are some treehouse rentals that are more like ultra-luxurious glamping.
To give you some ideas, we’ve compiled a list of the best Treehouse rentals near Asheville NC, each of which offers a secluded sense of tranquility along with all the modern amenities you could ever need.
