Tara's Treehouse: Another Day In Paradise - Views of the Mountain & Lake Burton
Imagine waking in the beautiful North Georgia mountains at Tara’s Treehouse, and as soon as your eyes open you see the breathtaking view: the hazy blue Appalachian mountain range, low lying clouds flirting with the mountain tops…one minute they’re touching them, the next they’re gone. The glisten of Lake Burton, so clear and sparkling it appears like diamonds are sitting atop the water. You head to the porch to soak in the view.
Take your pick: the wrap-around porch on the main level has tables, chairs and a swing. Or, walk to the top porch, and enjoy same gorgeous scenery, and watch the view of the mountains constantly change as a pink and yellow orb rises above them. Grab some binoculars and you might even catch a glimpse of the Appalachian Trail.
The air is crisp, and as you sit and breathe in life, you hear it. What is the humming sound? Fix your eyes on the hanging bird feeders, and you’ll catch a glimpse of the magical creatures. The tiny hummingbird watches you as you watch him, drinking the sugar water, but never landing or even slowing enough for you to see how fast his wings flutter. As soon as he darts off through the trees, the Carolina Chickadee is right there, singing a melody.
The view at dusk is equally amazing. Don’t turn away for a minute, though, or you’ll miss the flying squirrels gliding from tree to tree. Don’t worry about it being too quiet to sleep…the cicadas and/or katydids will play a soothing harmony for you as you drift off. Whether you choose to sleep in one of the two bedrooms on the top level (sleeps up to 4), or the private bedroom on the lower level (sleeps up to 4), you will have a spectacular lake and mountain view on every level.
Sleep with windows open, fans on, fireplace going…your choice. You’re tucked away in breathless mountain beauty, and yet have all the comforts of home. This mountaintop retreat has wood floors throughout, central air/heat, full kitchen with all appliances, 3 full baths, fireplace, washer/dryer, satellite TV, VCR/DVD players, telephone, WiFi, ceiling fans in all rooms, games, and more.
With full amenities, majestic views and only a seven mile drive into Clayton, GA, it’s no surprise that guests have said about Tara’s Treehouse, “How is it when we visit we always feel like we’re coming home, and yet we’ve never lived here?” Everything you could possibly need is here. Come home...

I stay in a lot of VRBO houses all over the South East and none of them have ever been perfect, but my own house isn't perfect so I would never hold that against someone that has 100s of people stay in their home. The price is fair, location for what I needed was amazing. The view is spectacular. I would definitely stay their again.
Fantastic location, everything we needed in the cabin and some.
Great, will be staying again.

A nice cabin with good view of the Smokey Mtn range. Good place when you are visiting Gatlinburg, Smokey Mountain National park, Dolly World and all nearby attractions.
If you are looking for a place with a great view, zero neighbors, and close to Helen, then this is a great option. We’ve stayed here twice, and it’s clean, quiet, and convenient to the North GA area.
Beautiful house with great view and everything you need for relaxation. Clear and timely communication from the owner made experience even smoother.

A beautiful place to relax and explore. Went for mine and my bonus daughters birthday as a loved every minute being up in the trees.
We enjoyed the amazing mountain and lake view. The location is in the middle of great mountain scenery and within an hour of numerous hiking trails and waterfalls. The cabin had everything we needed and the owner was readily available for questions.
