GLENVILLE HIGH TREEHOUSE (4000')
Kinzie-Riehm family approved
Hands down the best family outdoors trip we’ve experienced. It was the perfect blend of isolation and comfort. Our family of 5 came with intentions of putting up a tent for a few of us, but it had been raining for 2 days and it was pretty cold. We chose to sleep in the room that had heat and slept comfortably. When not sleeping , all of our kids gravitated to the outdoor fire-pit area that had swings and a small pond/waterfall. The views were stunning and to say the treehouse is “appointed” would be an understatement.
Since having kids, our back-country camping days have been limited and we haven’t camped as a family much.
Peter’s place was a welcome and much needed respite for all of us. Besides all of that, Peter is an amazing host, incredibly responsive, hands off while you’re there, but completely reachable if needed..our only regret is that we could only stay for 2 days. We plan on going back and, highly recommend a stay here!

Our group had such a blast! The temperature for the nights were forecast to be below freezing so Peter offered us his Treehouse which had an indoor section with heaters that kept us warm while we slept. Absolutely everything you might need for camping is provided (just need to bring clothes, food, and a sleeping bag!), and Peter was a lovely host checking in on us throughout the trip.
There are many things to do around this area as well; Peter leaves a binder of hiking trail recommendations at the accommodation. The views from the Treehouse were magnificent and we had a dog with us who enjoyed the stay as much as we did. We will definitely be coming coming back at some point in the future!

Do yourself a favor.
This place has it all. Just bring yourself, your friends and your provisions. The nights got down to the twenty’s and I was still toasty I. The cabin room. The water feature really added to the atmosphere near the fire pit that looks out on the valley. Peter was a great host, very communicative and pleasant to talk too. He even gave me a couple eggs for a delicious breakfast! I will be returning and bringing friends!

Great Winter Getaway!
Peter's place is wonderful! Great place to getaway, but also have all the creature comforts of home. I was pleasantly surprised how well the 2 wall heaters worked. It got below freezing and the inside of the shelter was nice and toasty. Peter has thought of pretty much everything you may need. He checked in on us to make sure we were all right and said, he was making a trip to the store if we needed anything?
We enjoyed hiking to High Falls which is a short drive from the hipcamp. Peter has a binder with day trip recommendations. It was nice to come back and relax and enjoy the amazing views around the campfire. It was then also nice to fall asleep in a nice warm bed with the option to watch tv. The best of both worlds. Thanks Peter!

My family spent Thanksgiving in Peter’s beautiful tree house. It was an absolutely wonderful experience. Peter is a very gracious host. The site has everything you could possibly need. My children didn’t want to leave and are already asking when we can go back. This was our rescue pups first camping trip and he didn’t want to leave either.

100% Stay Here!
What a beautiful space Peter has shared! Do not miss this one. And check with Peter before you start packing. .. I could have packed SO MUCH less than I did. My dog and I had the best time and were very comfy, even as it rained the whole first day.
The only thing I'd mention to be prepared for is packing out your trash and bio-waste. The nearest open dump was about 35 mins away, but that could have been bc it was a sunday, something Peter did mention in the instructions.
I loved my time here in this beautiful place. Thanks, Peter, for the lovely stay!!

This spot is beautiful! The views are amazing, and the host is very attentive. Peter is very accommodating. He had everything at the spot that we needed and more. The tent was very clean, and spacious. Plus, he is pet friendly so we were able to bring our dog along! We will be back!

I’m grateful Peter opened his land to Hipcamp because if there is one thing I’ll never forget about this camp, The View… If you don’t have camp supplies he’s got everything you could possibly need and more. Make sure to carefully read the description so you know what to expect and bring because he might already have it. Peter‘s communication was excellent so if there’s any questions feel free to reach out and he will respond ASAP. Thank you Peter your property is incredible!

A slice of Nature's Heaven!
I booked the treehouse for my daughter and I. It was absolutely beautiful and amazing. Peter and Margaret were wonderful hosts and responded very quickly with any questions we had. Everything you could possibly need was provided. Steaming hot showers, an induction stove as well as a propane stove. All cookware and dishes provided. Dishwashing liquid and cleaners and a hose with hot & cold water to wash dishes. It got down into the low 30s at night but we were perfectly warm inside with the heater provided. The treehouse sits right on the edge overlooking the amazing Smoky Mountains. All the leaves were changing for fall and it was gorgeous. There is a fishpond with a waterfall and a sitting swing above it for you to enjoy the beauty of it. A little trail leads to 2 large swings with a firepit that also overlooks the mountains. There is also a firepit on the deck of the treehouse and a trail leading to a playground. There are games, books and movies for you to enjoy and a nice Roku flat-screen TV. There is a microwave, a cooler fridge/freezer to store your food. You have access to their kayaks, canoes and paddle boards too. Life jackets, fishing rods, tackle and lots of other goodies are there to make your stay as easy and enjoyable as possible. It is very safe. You are in a gated community when you first enter. Then you drive more up the mountain and the entrance to go to the treehouse is also gated and locked. So is the treehouse itself. We enjoyed it SO much! Thank you :)

Magical View enjoyed by Family of 4
Our family had a wonderful time staying at the Glenville High Treehouse. We had a lovely visit with Peter when we arrived!! This space has an AMAZING view. We had rain during our stay, and seeing the fog roll in and out was magical. Our two teenagers loved the stash of games they found, and we played for hours - laughing and enjoying it all. It was a great space to get away, to be in the mountains with a 5-star view, peace and quiet. Thank you for making this space available to enjoy. We loved it.

Great Glamping for the family…
Great location (near Cashiers and Highlands) and full of everything you need to do glamping right! Great views and access to a lake that is pretty and quiet (but do not try and walk there; it’s bloody miles away!) We had terrible weather, but still enjoyed hunkering down in the treehouse. Peter is an attentive host who even tried to fix things that were clearly beyond his control (the weather!) Very much recommended.

Mountain time with our dog
Loved staying at Peter’s place! It was so quiet and peaceful. We had a lot of rain so we were happy to be in a sturdy structure. The space was perfect for 2 of us and our dog. And it has everything you need!!! We brought a lot more than was necessary. The privacy tent was convenient- shower was great and the toilet was easy to use. We wish we had been more strategic about the toilet but we know now! It’s a lot to dispose of and not sure we did so correctly. Peter was in touch to check in and answered our questions promptly. We’d definitely return!

Nature and amenities with a view!
The perfect mix of nature and amenities! This was by far the most relaxing and rejuvenating mountain stay I've had thus far. We drank tea and sat on the porch while the storm rolled in over the mountains... I painted and we meditated and truly got to enjoy solitude. Peter is always helpful, without being intrusive. Will be back!

We had an awesome time at the tree house. The views were breathtaking. Peter was a great host and had everything we needed at our fingertips. The outdoor firepit with swings and lights made for very enjoyable evenings. Having access to beautiful Greenville lake for kayaking and swimming, along with all the amazing hiking in the area was the icing on the cake. If you're into tenting you should check out his Smokey Mountain High site with amazing views of the Smokeys! Great time, great place, will definitely be back!

My friend and I loved the treehouse! Two 63 yr. old women wanting to prove we still have it! The kitchen setup was very complete! Canoes, kayak, fishing gear and life jackets all in place!!
Peter was easily available to answer questions! No others rentals on this property!! Great trip!

Camping with kids
We had a great weekend at Peter’s camp. Lots of spots for kids to put up their hammocks and the propane water heater worked great for showering. The lake and canoes were also a big hit. Thanks for everything.

Beautiful view with lake access!
Beautiful view with Lake access! Quiet and peaceful.
Multiple fire pits, one covered in case of rain, one uncovered.
It’s a long walk down to the lake, or a short drive.
Our host, Peter, was awesome and accommodating. He provides most everything, making it an easy trip to prepare for. Double check what is an isn’t provided before you get up there, closest store is about 20 mins away.

Gorgeous views
The treehouse was delightful! Great views, well supplied, nice and private, and all set up for us when we arrived. We had a wonderful time! FYI - the fire pit with swings is on a short path just before the treehouse. I couldn't figure that out from the pics, but maybe I'm just slow. 🤪 It's a great setup!
I would suggest that if you've never used the 'double doo-doo' bags🧻 (or whatever they're called 🤣) you read about it before you get there. Peter's instructions are stellar about everything but the obvious, though this one wasn't obvious to me! Hahaha!! The shower works great. Listen to what Peter says! That water gets hot on a very low setting. It's delightful to have a private shower when camping!🏕🚿

Campsite with awesome view.
This is def. a sweet spot. Not too far from downtown Cashiers and access to the lake. The tent is super spacious and nice and the view with outlook is amazing. Fire pit was awesome and Peter had all cooking tools available. Highly recommended!
