The Treehouse Escape to a custom-built, 100% sustainable off-grid treehouse on 23 private wooded acres in Western North Carolina. Perfect for nature lovers, adventure seekers, and those looking for a romantic retreat, this unique stay offers long-range mountain views, an eco-friendly design powered by solar energy, a cozy wood stove, and fresh mountain spring water. Enjoy an exhilarating outdoor shower and a homebiogas toilet with a scenic view. Thoughtfully designed with handcrafted woodwork, a charming kitchenette, copper finishes, and plush organic linens, this treehouse takes glamping to a whole new level of luxury.
Meet the Highland Cows Guests have exclusive access to our adorable Highland cattle herd—Moonshine, Martini, Mojito, & Malibu. These friendly “cocktail cows” love attention, and you’re welcome to pet, brush, and feed them treats.
Things to Note: We do require a $300 security hold to book. This is through a software-connected host platform, owner-rez, that is allowed by AirBnb. It is held 2 days before your stay and released upon checkout. This protects our property from damages by guests that Airbnb might not cover, and gives us peace of mind that guests will be respectful of our place that we have worked so hard to create for them! Winter Glamping Experience From November to mid-March, the treehouse transitions into a true off-grid glamping retreat. To prevent freezing, the water lines are shut down, but we provide 5-gallon water jugs for drinking, cooking, and cleaning, along with rinse-free bathing wipes. The toilet still functions above 20°F, with a backup port-o-potty available just in case. Heat is provided by a wood stove or a propane heater. Rates are lower in winter to reflect these seasonal changes—if you’re seeking an off-grid adventure, this is it!
Location & Nearby Attractions Located in Canton, NC, near Waynesville and just west of Asheville, the treehouse sits at an elevation of 3,100 feet, rising to 3,700 at the ridge. Explore nearby trails, visit local farms and markets, or dine at charming restaurants. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the easy access to the Blue Ridge Parkway, Pisgah National Forest, and the scenic Pigeon River for tubing and fly fishing. The property itself offers peace, seclusion, and the option to disconnect completely from the world. The only shared areas are the cow barn and trails. We do have a creekfront camping spot on the other end of the property that also hosts guests.
Sustainable & Thoughtful Design We designed the treehouse to be both luxurious and environmentally conscious. Every detail, from the organic bedding and bamboo sheets to the handcrafted furniture made from local and salvaged wood, was chosen with sustainability in mind. The kitchen features a propane cooktop, a beautiful copper sink, and all the essentials for off-grid cooking, including a cooler for food storage.
The Off-Grid Experience While this retreat is beautiful, it’s not for everyone! Expect some wildlife, rustic charm, and an eco-friendly lifestyle. There’s no WiFi, and power is limited to essentials like lighting and phone charging. Hair dryers and other high-energy appliances won’t work here. If you love nature, sustainability, and a peaceful escape, you’ll feel right at home.
Wildlife & Safety Being surrounded by miles of forest means encountering wildlife is possible. Guests have spotted deer, bears, coyotes, bobcats, and more. Be mindful of food storage, use the provided bear-proof trash bin, and make your presence known while exploring. Safety is key, but there’s no need to worry—just be prepared and enjoy the experience!
This treehouse isn’t just a place to stay; it’s an opportunity to experience sustainable, off-grid living in the most magical way. Whether you’re hiking, relaxing, or bonding with the Highland cows, your stay will be one to remember!

The treehouse was everything it is described as and so much more! Staying there is a truly magical experience, the location and treehouse are so incredibly beautiful, the attention to detail in the treehouse and surroundings is incredible. The highland cows are very polite and love a good scratch and snack. It’s incredibly pet friendly and our dog loved it there. We are already talking about when we can go back.

Perfect place to unplug and reconnect with what matters!
My teenage daughter and I spent a long weekend in the treehouse with our two dogs. Loved the highland cows, the gorgeous views, the attention to detail with amenities, and the thoughtful use of space to ensure we had everything we needed! Hoping to go back again!

Dreamy treehouse 🩷🩷🩷
From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the charm, peace, and thoughtful details of this treehouse. Tucked away in the mountains of Canton, NC, it was the perfect mix of cozy and adventurous. If you're looking for a magical, unplugged escape that still has all the comforts you love, this is it. We can’t wait to come back.

Relax and revitalize!
This is a truly unique place you’ll never regret choosing. Every detail, from the thoughtful decor to the breathtaking views, is simply remarkable.

Grab a coffee, pick up a good book, and soak in the view!

Stunning view & experience like non-other.
If you want to truly get away to the mountains & unplug, I’d recommend this beautifully appointed cabin!! You are away from others, the view is worth it all & the accoutrements in the cabin are well thought out & simply perfect!! We felt so comfortable… not wanting to leave! It’s an off grid experience, so the toilet is a learning curve. There is an outdoor shower which is fun! And the drive is super narrow… so don’t drive a dually 😅
We can’t wait to go back to this truly magical place in the mountains. Thank you to Chris & Jenna for making an experience like this available!! We took our daughter and dog with us… they enjoyed every minute!

About the host
Hosted by Jenna & Chris
We are Chris & Jenna Pelayo, and we were both born and raised on the Big Island of Hawaii. Now living in Summerville, “FlowerTown”, South Carolina, which is right outside of Charleston and where sweet tea was born! There is a lot of history in this little town, and we bought a piece of it. Now we are proud owners of an 1870’s Colonial Farmhouse fixer upper. With our love of renovating and DIY, we are taking this house on project by project and bringing it back to life. Our other passion is our animals, we have dog-kids and an urban farm of dwarf goats, mini-Scottish Highland cows, fancy chickens, honey bees, and barn cats! So Flowertown Charm started with our blog, but we now host stays in our home as a farm stay, as well as make & sell farm goods, & host farm experiences! And our newest adventure, building an off-grid sustainable treehouse on 23 acres in Western North Carolina. We cherish the life we have built together, doing what we love, and sharing it with you!
