‘The Perch’ Tiny treehouse is a custom built tiny house (just under 400 square feet). It is situated in a mixed forest. Perfect for a couple or cozy for a small family. Modern design with whimsical storybook touches. It’s like stumbling across granny’s cottage in the forest, but way cooler. Located in Western North Carolina and close to Hickory, Morganton and Lenoir. 4 miles to Lake Rhodhiss boat launch. Blue Ridge Parkway 40 miles away.

The space offers a screened-in porch with dining for four plus a two-seater bar top by the big pine through the deck. Cook up a tasty meal in the full kitchen or on the charcoal grill.

Wander on our little nature path through the forest. There are hammock swings available creekside. Enjoy a soak in your private hot tub and then sink into the daybed, turn on the fireplace and candles, borrow a book from our mini library or watch a movie.

This is a private home with its own gravel driveway and parking area. The flat, mulched path from your vehicle to the Perch is approximately 40 feet. It is suitable for about any vehicle to access (yes, even a Prius) and ample room for truck and boat/utility trailer to park. We offer self check-in or a meet and greet if you prefer. We live on the property and are readily available to assist our guests.

When requesting a your stay, please tell us a little about what brings you to town and who will be traveling with you (this includes children, please state age). We can accommodate up to 4 people, however note there is no door, only a partition between the queen bed and the two twins in the living area (this can be seen in the photos). While we offer most of the amenities of a standard American home, we do not have a dishwasher on property. To keep a sanitary environment, minimize critters and keep our cleaning fee low, guests are asked to wash the dishes they have used. The Perch has its own dedicated hi-speed internet for our guests. Please also note this is a rural/country environment. You may hear a passing vehicle/lawn mower from time to time, encounter wildlife and sounds common to country life such as woodpeckers, a tractor, a dirt bike/4 wheeler, children at play or even hunting/target practice in the distance.

We have strict no smoking (vaping/marijuana) and no pet policies. Violating these can result in immediate removal of guest and laundry/cleaning/fumigating/deodorizing fees will apply-up to $500. Per our insurance carrier, all guests must agree to hot tub waiver (sent upon booking). The hot tub is cleaned and chemistry is balanced and video documented daily. There is one outdoor camera located on the edge of the entry path facing only the parking area and driveway.
