We were delighted with our stay at the Treetop Retreat. The property was clean, in a quiet, wooded location, well stocked, with an incredible hot tub & extremely helpful & attentive hosts.If traveling with dogs, you'll find this an exceptionally dog-friendly spot, stocked with food & water bowls, a large fenced yard, and even treats in the cupboard. The deck with the picnic table & hot tub is fully fenced, making it easy to watch the dogs while we were in the hot tub or having meals al fresco. The property is located far enough from Asheville to offer dark skies & a peaceful, wooded setting. It's a 2-bedroom apartment with 1.5 baths, above a garage, next to the hosts' house. The master bath has an excellent, deep bath tub with jets, if you want to extend the hot tub experience while you bathe. Our hosts were exceptionally attentive (but never intrusive) and very welcoming.The kitchen is also well stocked. If you're a serious cook, you may want to bring a few knives. This is no complaint, since overall the kitchen was better stocked than you'd find in most rental houses. But I wish I'd brought a chef's knife & a bread knife.The drive to Asheville is less 30 minutes. It's also just a 4.5-mile drive up a paved, two-lane highway to the Blue Ridge Parkway, which was a good launching point for some day hikes, including access to the Shining Rock Wilderness less than a half-hour drive away. We highly recommend the Treetop Retreat and look forward to our next stay!
