Marie, the host was awesome. She helped and communicated very well. We love the house. The decor is a 10 the wind and the storm made the patios a little messy but they’re actually was even a blower in the garage. Actually, there wasn’t anything you could think of that you couldn’t eventually find if you needed it three generations all ages loved. Even the teenagers.

Such a peaceful and private location. The lake was serene and quiet. The kayaks and adults were perfect for kids and adults to paddle and fish the lake. This home is truly custom and luxurious. Definitely not built to just rent. The linens were high quality, beds comfortable, patio furniture ample, and all of the steps and decks were in great shape. We would stay here again.

We had a magnificent week at Treehouse, and have already booked to come back next year! Maria is a terrific and responsive host, and the house is exactly as described with space to spread out both inside and out, with everything we needed. We loved the lake access, the sauna, the hot tub and movie room. A great vacation!

We had a wonderful last minute weekend getaway. Maria was very attentive to our last minute booking. Very spacious for both adults and kids to relax and have a fun. Our boys loved the kayaks, canoe and fishing as well as the theatre room. The views from the porch are amazing. Kitchen is well stocked. Maria is very detailed in check in and check out information. My son "lost" his wallet while there and she was so helpful in finding it. Offered to meet me to return or mail it. We would definitely book this house again.

Great stay at Hogback Lake

If you are looking for a lovely “Treehouse” experience, the Treehouse at Water’s Edge on Hogback Lake is perfect. Great views of the lake from every level. Both indoor and outdoor activities onsite including kayaks, a canoe, swim pads, table shuffleboard, sauna and a hot tub. We also enjoyed the access to the Sapphire Community Center and the proximity to Cashiers with its many restaurants and shops.
