34mi from Mars Hill · 1 site
Escape to a custom-built, 100% sustainable off-grid treehouse on 23 private wooded acres in Western North Carolina. Perfect for nature lovers, adventure seekers, and those looking for a romantic retreat, this unique stay offers long-range mountain views, an eco-friendly design powered by solar energy, a cozy wood stove, and fresh mountain spring water. Enjoy an exhilarating outdoor shower and a homebiogas toilet with a scenic view. Thoughtfully designed with handcrafted woodwork, a charming kitchenette, copper finishes, and plush organic linens, this treehouse takes glamping to a whole new level of luxury. Meet the Highland Cows Guests have exclusive access to our adorable Highland cattle herd—Moonshine, Martini, and Mojito, the "cocktail" cows.
Enjoy hiking? Well perfect because there are hundreds of trails nearby because the treehouse is equidistant to not 1, not 2, but 3 Blue Ridge Parkway entrances and is in the Pisgah National Forest. The highest point along the entire route of the Blue Ridge Parkway is located near us as well at Richland Balsam. In addition the treehouse is on a scenic byway which connects to another scenic byway. That makes the drive just breathtaking, going by farms and forest and runs along the Pigeon River which also offers tubing and amazing fly fishing. If that's not enough we are close to Asheville, Maggie Valley, Hendersonville, and Brevard.
We suggest visiting our website www.flowertowncharmoffgrid.com/FAQ if you have questions!
WINTER BOOKINGS: Our driveway may be impassible during winter weather and we recommend snow tires, snow chains, and/or 4x4 during the winter months due to ice. We do shut down the running water during the winter to prevent the pipes from freezing. We will provide guests with 5 gallon drinking jugs with a dispenser to use, and the toilet still has water to flush. But the shower, sink, tub, hose, and bidet will be shut down during these months. If you want the true off-grid experience this is it ;)
We do require guests to e-sign our rental agreement that we will email to you, and request a $300 security deposit hold (not a charge) that we will release upon checkout. This is just a precaution for us letting people we don't know stay at our place and respecting it.

44mi from Mars Hill · 3 sites
This site is accessed via a short trail through the trees down a gentle, sloping hill, and finally by a short stairway, and as such it may not be easily accessible for campers with limited mobility.
Located on the grounds of the Duckpond Pottery, The Quack Shack is a secluded treehouse perched along the banks of the French Broad River. The structure is an 8x10 A-frame that transforms via a hinged wall into an open-air cabana with a charming deck that affords spectacular views of the French Broad River and surrounding countryside. The interior of the Quack Shack, with its vaulted 11-foot ceiling and earthen plaster walls, provides a warm glow in a rainforest environment. It is furnished with a comfortable seating area surrounding a coffee table that can be easily converted to a full-size queen bed at night. On the outside deck are beach chairs and a chimenea available for use. The quack shack has electric power (1 outlet only).
Amenities include a bathroom located a short walk away at the main building as well as an open-air on-demand shower located off the bathroom on a deck overlooking the French Broad River. Morning coffee and tea is available at The Tea Hut located just a hop, skip, and jump from the treehouse. A new two person wood fired hot tub and cold plunge is now located just off the steps of the treehouse. (Contact us if you’d like to reserve it during your stay. Hot tub is $40/first night and $15 each following nigjt)
NOTE: The Duckpond Pottery is a working studio pottery and gallery that is open to the public. It is also home to occasional open-air house concerts on the deck at the pottery. The host generally blocks concert dates, however, it is worth double-checking with the host that there will not be a concert if you desire a quieter experience.

The cozy A-frame cabin sits beside the creek and offer tons of charm. Three rustic, historic cabins have been thoughtfully restored to preserve their old charm while adding modern comforts.

Every stay offers a unique way to reconnect—with loved ones, with friends, or with yourself.

Nestled in the heart of North Carolina, Tuxedo Falls offers upscale boutique lodging and unparalleled outdoor experiences. Whether you’re looking for adventure or relaxation, our unique blend of high-end hospitality and natural beauty provides the perfect retreat.
At Tuxedo Falls, our love for the outdoors runs deep—and we want to share it with you. Our journey began when we stumbled upon this long-forgotten forest oasis. Once a bustling summer camp, the land had become overgrown and inaccessible. But we saw the potential to breathe new life into it.
With deep family roots in nearby Lake Summit and Flat Rock, we knew there was a need for upscale, outdoor-oriented hospitality. Inspired by the summer camps that have long defined the Tuxedo area, we set out to create a place where adults, families, and groups could enjoy nature in comfort and style. Tuxedo Falls is more than a destination— it’s a homecoming to the outdoors.
We believe time spent outside is essential to our health and well-being. That’s why we’re bringing this once-forgotten property back to life—not only as stewards of the land, but as hosts who value both adventure and rest.
Here, you’ll discover:
Stunning waterfalls on two trout-filled streams
Miles of creek-side hiking trails
Unique rock outcroppings
A ridgetop lodge site with 360° mountain views
Acres of mountain laurel, rhododendron, and old-growth forest
Tuxedo Falls is a secret oasis waiting to be explored—and we can’t wait to welcome you.

Doug’s glamping deck was great! Easy instructions to find and the spot had an amazing view! I would recommend this to anyone looking to explore the Black Mountain area.

Very nice, quiet space, exactly as described. It was a little chilly in Nov, but the Fall colors could not be beat!

Def wish I’d had a sturdier vehicle due to the gravel road but it was well maintained. so no issues. Gorgeous woodsy setting. My daughter loved the treehouse & is already asking to go back

Weekend Trip to Above the Fray Glamping, Black Mtn.
I had a great experience. It was clean, accessible, easy to locate, and safe. I had informed Doug that I would be arriving at night and they had the lights on for me when I arrived, which I greatly appreciated. The view was beautiful, the electrical outlets and rain flies were very helpful and the portopotty very clean. Doug was very responsive to any questions I had as well. I would stay there again and highly recommend.

Weekend Trip to Above the Fray Glamping, Black Mtn.
Wonderful views at a very nice location! Treehouse Lane is very well set up with electricity and the cleanest outdoor potty that I have ever seen. Plenty of water and the covered area offers plenty of space for cooking & sitting around lounging during the day. We set up our tents on either side at the front facing each other & used the center covered area to sit and eat of lay in the hammock and enjoy the spectacular views!

Weekend Trip to Above the Fray Glamping, Black Mtn.
This was a beautiful weekend to spend above the fray! When we arrived water was plentiful and the port-a-John was one of the cleanest. One of my lifetime friends I’ve known since high school had his first camping experience and loved it! Our first night we saw the most beautiful sunset over the mountains and fall foliage did not disappoint. It was magical and breathtaking! Next day we enjoyed the blue ridge parkway and enjoyed a hike at craggy gardens. I have two tents on the larger side but both fit well and we were still able to hang hammocks and have some common space. I hope to be back again soon! Thank you for sharing your beautiful, peaceful, little bit o heaven!
