Perfect location!

We had a fabulous weekend at this meticulously maintained home. The views from the hot tub are amazing. The house was spotless. The playground was perfect for our children. We were in a great location to be a little far away from things but an easy drive to Asheville, hiking, and activities. Would def stay again!

Awesome stay at the Smith Treehouse!

Our family had a wonderful time staying at the Smith Treehouse! The house is in a great wilderness setting, with a plenty of things to do to relax indoors and outdoors. The proximity to Lake Lure/Chimney Rock was great, just 10 minutes away to fun swimming in the lake with the grandkids. The view of the mountains from the balcony is just stunning; the hot tub on the balcony is a bonus! And seeing a black bear three times in the yard was the cherry on top! We will be back!

Awesome stay

Smith Treehouse exceeded our very high expectations, providing the perfect location to decompress and enjoy all of the tranquility and beauty of the Lake Lure/Chimney Rock area. The house could not have been cleaner or more ideally located, an easy and stress-free 15 minute drive into Lake Lure and Chimney Rock. An excellent grocery store within five minutes was convenient as well. The mountain view from the balcony was gorgeous and the hot tub felt great after hiking the area trails. Ray was quick to respond to questions and had a nice welcome note and bottle of wine waiting for us on arrival. Great, great vacation.

Great family getaway

We loved our November stay! The house was beautiful and the hot tub was perfect for frosty mornings. We did end up grabbing a few games, puzzles and cards to play in the evenings. No wifi... so if any business to do, make alternate arrangements :) Lots of outdoor things do in Lake Lure. Our tweenagers enjoyed the trip as much as we did. We would love to return someday.

Thank you Anne for all the great suggestions and positive comments about your stay at Smith Treehouse. Our listing does show that we do not have internet/wifi at the property at this time, however we are working on a solution to provide this very desirable amenity. We do have cable TV and will purchase a few board games for those evening/rainy day activities. We hope to see you back as our guests on a return trip to Lake Lure!

We loved the house and the location. We enjoyed using the hot tub forewarning it is hot!!!! We couldn’t figure out how to turn the temp down but absolutely loved it. The kids enjoyed the playground and the passes to Bald Eagle Resort. The views are incredible and it’s worth every penny. Can’t wait to go back.

Beautiful home in the mountains

I can’t say enough about this home. It’s so new that it isn’t on Bing maps! Nestled in the hills, it has a gorgeous mountain view from the deck and hot tub. The open plan living area features a huge, well equipped kitchen, leather reclining sofas in the living room and a dining table that seats 8. Outside, there’s a play structure, a screened gazebo with a second deck looking towards the mountains, and another covered patio. The bunk bed, with a full lower bed, was perfect for my daughter, her husband, and their three year old. The house is 5 minutes from a grocery,10 minutes from Lake Lure, and 20 minutes from Chimney Rock. There was so much fun to be had that my 3 year old granddaughter didn’t want to leave - “I want to stay here 100 days!!”

Fantastic Home in the NC Woods near great sites!

We had a phenomenal time at Smith's Treehouse. Perfect spot for our family of 6. Close to great hiking/sites and Lake Lure. And, for us, close enough driving distance to take advantage of all Asheville has to offer. We really enjoyed our stay and thought the house was excellent.
