Perched in the hardwood canopy — this is the first of a collection of architect-designed luxury treehouses rising in the North Carolina High Country between Boone and Banner Elk. This is not a cabin with a tall deck. You arrive by crossing your own elevated sky bridge through the trees, and by the time the forest floor falls away beneath your feet, the ordinary rules of a weekend away no longer apply.

THE TREEHOUSE
Wrapped in dramatic diamond-scale shingles and cradled by hardwoods, the retreat lands somewhere between a boutique hotel suite and the treehouse you dreamed about as a kid — then upgrades both.

Inside: warm curved-wood ceilings, wide-plank floors, and clean Scandinavian lines that make every angle photogenic. At night, the whole treehouse glows like a lantern in the woods.

SLEEP IN THE CANOPY
The king bedroom is built for lingering mornings — a plush bed set against a sculpted reclaimed-timber wall, exposed beams overhead, and a ribbon of high clerestory glass that pulls dawn light through the branches. The windows put you at eye level with the treetops, so you wake among birdsong, not alarm clocks.

A BATHROOM WORTH THE TRIP
Yes, we're saying that about a bathroom. A freestanding soaking tub sits beneath a skylight, so you can bathe under sunlight or stars. Beside it, an oversized rainfall shower turns an ordinary rinse into a spa ritual. And the hot water is instant and continuous — the tub outlasts you, never the other way around.

LIVE WELL IN THE TREES
The open living space centers on a gas fireplace and a deep, comfortable sofa that pulls out to sleep two more. The kitchen is genuinely equipped — cooktop, oven, and full-size fridge — and the dining nook seats your crew for slow breakfasts with a forest view. TVs in both the living area and the bedroom run on 400 Mbps Starlink internet, so movie nights stream flawlessly — and if you must work from the canopy, you'll have zero excuses.

THE HOT TUB (AND YOUR CHOICE OF FIRES)
Every treehouse is designed around one non-negotiable: a private hot tub in the trees. Soak beneath the canopy as the woods go quiet and steam rises into the branches. Then pick your flame for the evening — the gas fireplace inside, the fire table on the upper deck, or the wood-burning fire pit up on the hill, where s'mores happen under real stars. It's the closing scene of every good day here.

BE FIRST, NOT JUST EARLY
This is a new, eco-minded treehouse resort taking shape across 11 forested acres — a bird-themed collection of one-of-a-kind elevated retreats. This retreat is the very first. Stay now and you join the founding guests of what we intend to make the most talked-about stay in the High Country.

THE SETTING
The treehouse sits in Foscoe, a quiet stretch of the NC-105 corridor between Boone and Banner Elk — the rare High Country address that puts you about 15 minutes from nearly everything. Head one way for farm-to-table dinners and boutiques in Banner Elk, the other for the college-town energy of Boone and App State, or wind up the hill to the storybook main street of Blowing Rock. Sip creekside flights at Grandfather Vineyard (under 4 miles away), browse the original Mast General Store in Valle Crucis, or cast a fly line in the Watauga River as it threads through the valley. When the seasons turn, you're ringed by winter fun — Appalachian Ski Mtn, Sugar Mountain, Beech Mountain, and Hawksnest snow tubing — with Grandfather Mountain and the Blue Ridge Parkway practically down the road. Yet the property itself stays hushed: acres of hardwood forest where the loudest thing at night is the hot tub!

GETTING HERE
You'll want a car — the High Country is made for scenic drives, and rideshare coverage is spotty in the mountains. This sits off NC-105, a primary paved corridor, so access is straightforward year-round (in winter, AWD/4WD adds peace of mind, but the road is well maintained). Park free on site, then follow the elevated walkway to your front door — luggage friendly and completely unforgettable. Flying in: Charlotte (CLT) ~2 hrs, Asheville (AVL) ~1 hr 45 min, Tri-Cities, TN (TRI) ~1 hr 30 min.

GOOD TO KNOW
• Sleeps 4: one king bedroom plus a pull-out sofa in the living area
• One spa-style full bathroom with instant, continuous hot water — long soaks never run it cold
• 400 Mbps Starlink internet + TVs in the living area and bedroom
• Three fire features: gas fireplace inside, fire table on the upper deck, wood-burning fire pit on the hill
• No dishwasher — dishes are washed by hand (a fair trade for living in a treehouse)
• Reached by stairs and an elevated walkway — part of the magic, but not suited to guests who can't manage stairs
• Up to 2 pets under 30 pounds are welcome; smoking and vaping are not permitted anywhere on the property
• Must be at least 25 years of age to book
• Brand-new build: you'll be among the very first guests to stay

All spaces are available except for locked owner's closets. Feel free to enjoy the entire property! Luxury Treehouse with Sky Bridge near Banner Elk, North Carolina
