Selected by Outside Magazine as their Favorite Hipcamp in North Carolina and a Hipcamp Finalist in N.C. 2020, 2021, and 2022 and runner up best treehouse in 2023, you can choose among three separate and memorable experiences in our 8 acre compound: 1) a woodsy, peaceful glamping experience with million dollar views in an 6 person tent;; 2) a glampingTreehouse with W/C; and 3) the newly built 2BR 1 1/2 BA private annex to our house. Each can be all yours - this is not a commercial campground. Explore the innumerable trails and waterfalls of the Smokies; fish in the Lake or numerous rivers and streams; swim in the Lake and at the sand beach down the road; rent a pontoon boat; travel the Blue Ridge Parkway; enjoy the shopping and restaurants of nearby Cashiers and Highlands. Or just chill out. These are truly unique high altitude sites with amenities you won't find elsewhere. Both are in a gated "subdivision" that has 60 lots but only 8 houses - the rest is woods and the only place in your vicinity is our cabin. With unmatched mountain and western views, if you like the great outdoors on the mountain and in the woods, This is the place for you and your family. If you like a more camping style with tent (provided), covered camp kitchen, table and firepit ( along with the uncovered ones) check out Smoky Mountain High. Don't like tents? No problem. Check out our Treehouse with kitchen, bunks, grill, cooktop, heaters, W/C and more. Prefer indoor rustic luxury? The Glenville Aerie (4100') is a fully furnished, annex we built for our family, guests and friends who value their privacy. Walkie-talkies to facilitate mountain communications. Board games too. Access to our dock, canoes and kayak? Yep. Adult life preservers provided. Secret nature trail to our kids playground and trampoline. Hammock, kid's swing, hanging chair and dining for 6. Visit with Jake the Cat and our chickens. This area is truly one of a kind spiritual respite. These mountains are justly known for hiking, fishing, water sports, chilling out and forgetting about the Virus, politics and the nuisances of the workaday world. Our goal is to provide you and your family with an unforgettable and magical N.C. mountain experience, while reducing your blood pressure.

GLENVILLE HIGH TREEHOUSE (4000')

An incredible get away high on the mountain top. There are more amenities than most homes or cabins making the stay really comfortable. The views and changing sunsets are magnificent. Everything you need for a wonderful stay. Peter checked in on us making sure we had what we needed and making sure things went smoothly. It was nice of him to check in but we really had everything we needed...Highly recommend for your next Glamping trip!

SMOKY MOUNTAIN HIGH(4100')

Such a beautiful property with the BEST views and everything we needed to make our weekend getaway more of a glamping stay than camping. Peter was a super responsive and helpful host. Would definitely stay here again and again and again!

GLENVILLE HIGH TREEHOUSE (4000')

Our family of 4 had the most incredible stay at Peter’s treehouse. He has thought for and supplied everything you could need during your stay. The accommodations exceeded our expectations. And even in July, the brisk mornings were a welcomed way to start our day. While there are other sites nearby, you would never know. You feel you are in your own secluded part of the world. It truly was a magical stay. Peter was a fantastic host. He was quick to reply to messages and available if needed. 11/10 stars. We hope to return soon. It is a must stay!

GLENVILLE HIGH TREEHOUSE (4000')

The most wonderful Treehouse

Peter has built a fantastic cabin that has everything the listing promises and way beyond. Thoughtfully put together sleeping quarters, the flush toilet, the hot water shower and dish washing hose really make this place unique (compared to the similar composting toilet and community shower offerings). The kitchen is well put together, too: a 12/24V refrigerator/ freezer is great if you are bringing food to cook. Fully equipped kitchen with all pots pans and utensils you may need. The cabin layout is great: sitting area is in the center of everything, and the air flow is controlled by the restaurant style rolling plastic curtains (which we used when it got windy and cold.) The morning was nice and warm and we lifted those up for the open air on both sides of the cabin. Steps away is the most wonderful patio area with a full water cascading pond and a fire pit surrounded by the set of 2 swinging benches. The view from here is making you feel you are on the top of the world, and is nice and quiet place to enjoy at sunset time.
