37mi from Clemson · 3 sites · Lodging · Brevard, NC

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). 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.

It has easy access but the property has abundant trees and is secluded from nearby roads and homes for privacy. The interior, baths, and kitchen are updated but maintain a pleasant farmhouse feel. The host had it perfectly clean and well stocked. It has a bonfire pit and a smaller fire pit for outside gatherings and the hot tub was immaculately clean, heated, and ready for use when we arrived. Kids can enjoy swings and slides. We used it for a small gathering where about a dozen guests gathered during the day and six spent the night. Could not have been happier with property or hosts.

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

Access to canoes and a dock just a short drive (or walk) from the cabin.

This a very unique and cozy treehouse cabin in a beautiful location, right by Lake Glenville. It is a comfortable space with lots of amenities for a fun weekend in the mountains, and feels very secluded surrounded by woods and at a high elevation. Despite being there in rainy weather, it was beautiful with all the fall foliage! And Peter is a very friendly and welcoming host. I would certainly recommend a visit!

I absolutely loved this fun and different experience. My family loved it and enjoyed as well. Between the slides, playground area and the animals, it's definitely something to try out

We had such a great time at the treehouse! The view is absolutely stunning; none of the pictures do it justice. We visited during peak leaf season, and it was beautiful. The location is perfectly secluded and private, yet close enough to enjoy all the attractions in Highlands and Cashiers if you want to explore. We went with three adults and three kids (2, 4 & 5) and the cabin had plenty of space for everyone. Our first night there was much colder than what we were used to coming from home, but the space heaters kept us nice and toasty! Most of our time was spent around the fire and on the swings. The treehouse was stocked with more utensils and appliances than we could have ever needed, and it was such a treat to have a flushing toilet and hot water. The highlight for our kids, though, was the hosts’ adorable puppy, Molly! She hung out with us most of the time and completely stole our hearts (and a couple shoes) but we loved every second of it. The kids were so sad to leave her when it was time to go. The host was wonderful. He checked in frequently and was always available when we had questions, but never overbearing. He left us fresh eggs when we arrived and even had firewood available for purchase when we realized we’d forgotten ours. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. 10/10 recommend this magical spot!

Peter was great! Made sure we had what we needed and then gave us the privacy that this awesome treehouse offers. Our family of four enjoyed everything about it, from the views to the layout of the cabin. We are on our way home, already talking about when we can make the trip back!

The treehouse was amazing! It is thoughtfully layed out & just beautiful to wake up in the trees! This is my 2nd time to CSBC ( rented the corn crib before 2 yrs ago). Can see all the improvements made on the land. Super convenient to Flat Rock ( went to Carl Sandburg house) & Hendersonville for the Apple Festival. My friends are all jealous after seeing the pictures & hopefully they’ll book a night or two in the future.

Very cool find! Everything was as it was described. Our boys (3 & 8) loved the location, playground and the loft. Lots of hiking & waterfall options in the area to explore. The treehouse was a wonderful way to jolt the inner child in us.

Everything about our experience was magical! Peter has thought of everything in creating this rental. I brought 4 of my boys up here (ages 2-19). The cabin was plenty big enough and we could have fit another person. He had everything we needed on site and it was wonderful to have a real toilet and shower with hot water. We definitely want to come back again! Peter is an attentive and respectful host!

The tree house was so lovely! The beds were comfy, it was incredibly clean, and it was so relaxing. Our kids loved the little fairy houses tucked in the woods. We had fun exploring the property. For longer hikes, it was convenient to Dupont and Flat Rock. I would definitely recommend for families (the loft easily slept our 4 and 7 year old). It would also be perfect for a couples trip!

The treehouse is outstanding, well equipped with a very nice bathroom and cosy kitchen. Don’t expect much extra space up in the trees, but sitting out on the deck sipping coffee in the morning is priceless! Had heavy rain one night, and stayed dry inside playing cards. Very cosy!

Peter, his communication and property are excellent. Truly enjoyed our stay, the accommodations, and the area. The sleeping area and deck are fantastic. The views are amazing. The lake and the surrounding areas are just close enough. But not too close. Private. Quite. So relaxing. We will be back.
