There are 3 treehouses present on these 5 acres of land tucked into the National Forest. A stream runs past 2 of the treehouses down to a pasture with a small assortment of animals. The property includes friendly, free roaming, outdoor cats that will likely keep you company during your stay. Do note there are dogs at the main cabin. While on your glamping trip, there are several places nearby to hiking, fishing, swimming, and if you're brave enough, even biking the ups and downs of the mountain roads. Parking, as well as a bathroom with running water and electricity, are at the main cabin, which is a short walk from the treehouse. Please note: The property has a designated place to cook, but cooking tools, cookware, and utensils are not provided. Please bring any cooking items you may need during your stay.Firefly Bend Treehouse is nestled on a hillside near a creek on the Hemlock Farm, where a small passel of animals (mostly cats and dogs) live and a couple of people reside in the main cabin. There are animals on the property. This private treehouse is a short walk into the forest from where you park at the main cabin. The rear of the property provides access to the national forest for hiking in a rarely used portion of the mountains. ✔️Heated Mattress Pad-Queen Size Bed ✔️The bed rolls out under the stars! ✔️Indoor Mini fridge, microwave, and coffee maker ✔️WiFi at Main Cabin (not at treehouse) ✔️Outdoor Firepit ✔️ Hot tub ✔️Two Paddle fans ✔️Hike into National Forest from Treehouse **About Glamping** Glamping - Camping, but with glamour.

I loved it!
Firefly Bend Treehouse
The place is really nice and had everything that we needed. We were surprised by how great the bed was. The hosts are very attentive by sending you the instructions to get there. There are great trails around as well.

Firefly Bend Treehouse
I’ll start with the positive. The tree house was perfect. It was adorable and had just the right amount of amenities. The hot tub was a perfect end to long hiking days. The plant collection in the dining room was absolutely mind blowing! Now for the negative aspects. The lack of clarity/disclosure in the listing. Which honestly could be a deal breaker for some people. It was definitely awkward. There were A LOT of instructions and I read them several times but still never fully understood until we pulled up and parked in their driveway. I feel like disclosing this information would make it less awkward and or deter people from booking. Honestly I would have passed on this had I known the situation. 1st- You will be parking in the driveway of someone’s occupied home. You will walk by the house to get to the path to your cabin. 2. The “guest entrance” at the “main cabin” actually translates into the back door of their home that is not closed off from the rest of their home. 3. Someone or maybe one of the many cats clearly used/played in the “guest bathroom” and the toilet had to be wiped down 3 times during our stay. 4. The shower definitely needed attention. There were spiderwebs all over that had clearly been there a while. To include the blinds. Had this been out an outdoor shower it would have been totally understandable. Being that it’s in someone’s home you expect it to be maintained better. 5. The dogs. I absolutely love dogs but, it was chaotic to say the least.

Even better than glamping
Firefly Bend Treehouse
Loved this spot in Suches! It is really out there but close to the Appalachian trial and tons of other hiking and close enough to the cute town of Dahlonega if you want good food or need a Walmart. The treehouse was even more amazing than I imagined! The hot tub was spotless, the bed was comfortable, and all the necessities were provided for. We stayed in March with highs of 70 and lows of 40 but we stayed super cozy inside. Didn’t even use the heated blanket, but did turn on the space heater. We cooked over the fire with pots, pans, and firewood provided. We only really saw one cat the whole time and she was super sweet. The dogs bark when you pull up or go into the main house - where you can get a shower and use a flush toilet - but they did not bother us otherwise. Highly recommend this spot for off grid time listening to the babbling brook, sleeping under the stars, and relaxing.

Cheerful Cozy Cabin
Firefly Bend Treehouse
We loved the cozy cabin with the sound of the bubbling creek near. I was a cold night but the electric blanket kept us perfectly warm. Everything was very tidy and clean. With so may extras provided glamping was a breeze. The direction and instructions were excellently detailed.

We really enjoyed our stay at the treehouse this past weekend. It is so cute and cozy inside, perfect for a couple. The bed was awesome, and being able to open the giant window doors and be under the trees. The hosts were so welcoming and helpful, and the sweet animals on the property were really nice to have around. We will definitely be booking again, this place was the perfect getaway for a quick weekend trip!

Please review before considering
Firefly Bend Treehouse
Overall we had a great experience from our own doings. It’s not private. You’re close to other campsites and one of them if you’re staying at their other campsite you can actually see directly in the cabin. When we got there they did not mention any pets being on the property, especially how much that were there. If I did I wouldn’t have booked based off of that. They have a bunch of dogs and cats. Some caged some are not. One cat bites and scratch (grey cat) you’ll see that one the most. The dogs bark continuously when you’re near they barely have them inside. When I first reached to Joni it took three days for them to respond and it was important because it was regarding the condition of the campsite from the hurricane that just passed and they have a very strict cancellation policy. During our trip we noticed the treehouse wasn’t clean. The floor wasn’t swept. It was very dusty and in the main cabin guest bathroom was pretty dirty a lot of bugs on the ceilings and in the shower. I have photos to prove it but unfortunately I’m unable to post it. The first night was very hot they have two ceiling fans but only on will they turn on for you. When we asked someone on the property she said someone will come out during our stay and no one did. I messaged Joni and she didn’t provide a fan nor have someone come out. I went to the office to get additional pots and pans and it was dirty and had a roach in it. I loved Suches just not campsite.

Immerse yourself in the woods

Loved the privacy of this remote escape. We reconnected with nature at the Firefly treehouse and loved the babbling brook just down the hill.

This stay was incredible! Pretty much completely private at the cabin, accept for the occasional visit from a sweet doggo, and the hot tub and sliding bed to the balcony were amazing experiences to have. 5/5 for this great stay! 😍

The Best.
Firefly Bend Treehouse
Rolling the bed out to sleep by the sound of a creek is why I will be coming back! The treehouse is beautifully and meticulously built with attention to detail; like sleeping within a work of art! Joni was super responsive and a kimd soul:) Dont miss the Suches Life store just a few minutes down the road. It showcases local artists.

Cute Cozy Cabin
Firefly Bend Treehouse
Cute & Cozy Cabin. Do print out directions like suggested, it was raining and cloudy and we didn't have a signal. Owner very friendly and put thought into guest stay. The view from the bed is amazing, being able to roll the bed outside is a wonderful addition.

The treehouse has a comfortable bed and has windows in all sides. Charming spot! We listened to the creek and waterfalls all night, a very lovely backdrop. Amazing stars and moon in the sky.

Sereni-tree house
Overall, this is a very cute and private treehouse. We enjoyed our stay in the lovely town of Suches. The treehouse however was very dusty and anyone who is sensitive to dust should be aware. As well as being frequently visited by bugs that would fall from the rafters on to the bed.

Lovely mountain retreat
Firefly Bend Treehouse
A beautiful property with lots of scenic drives and other things to explore. Very friendly dogs who will absolutely (as the signs posted around state) WILL try to steal your food if unattended. We really enjoyed their company and managed to keep them unfed but they are pretty clever. The bed on wheels that you can pull outside was wonderful. We took advantage and slept well under the stars.

Spontaneous weekend getaway
Abbie's Waterfall Treehouse
This treehouse getaway was just what I needed. The property is peaceful and quiet, and my treehouse was right next to a creek. I went off-site to visit a park and came back after dark. They had motion sensor lights along the path which was very helpful. I didn't use the outdoor kitchen, but I loved the set-up. The hot tub in the woods was the main reason I booked, and it did not disappoint. My only comments would be that 1.) There was no wood available (it was included in the amenities), so I couldn't have a proper fire - this may have been my fault since I came back so late, and 2.) The manual seems a bit outdated. I looked up one of the restaurants to find that it was permanently closed. But overall, an awesome visit and will certainly recommend. ALSO: Can you please tell me where you get your big front pillows??? I couldn't believe when I laid down how comfy they were. <3
