&nbsp; The Treetop Cottage The wilderness retreat you've been dreaming of, The Treetop Cottage is a place of pure peace and quiet beauty. Under the North Carolina sunshine, play at the community beach, or utilize the dock to get the provided canoes in the water. If visiting in late fall, winter, and early spring, you can enjoy tranquil and charming water views from the comfort of home. A shared pavilion, picnic tables, gas grill, and firepit are also available for your enjoyment. If you'd prefer to rent a boat, the nearby marina will come in handy. Get out and explore the surrounding wilderness when you visit High Falls, the Jackson Hole Gem Mine, and East Laporte River Access Park. Up the road a bit, you can don your skis at the Cataloochee Ski Area. Sun-kissed and happy, head back inside your home away from home and get comfortable. The light-filled living room boasts ample, soft seating, and a charming wood-burning fireplace. The well-equipped kitchen comes fully prepared with stainless steel appliances and gleaming countertops. The family-style meals indulged in at the large dining table will be a highlight of your trip. The family room is the perfect place to kick your feet up and tune into your favorite TV shows and movies. When you aren't streaming the latest release, play a game of air hockey, or refresh your clothes in the private washer/dryer. With three bedrooms and additional sleeping quarters available, rest assured that everyone will have more than enough space to sprawl out and get comfortable. And no matter the temperature outside, the home's partial air-conditioning will keep you cool. As evening dawns on another day, get out on one of the home's decks and enjoy the sway of the trees and the colors of the sunset filling the night sky. <b>COMMUNITY AMENITIES</b> -Beach -Dock -Canoes -Firepit -Grilling area <b>THINGS TO KNOW</b> Streaming services available with guests’ own account(s).
