Your cheat sheet – the the 'good to know before you go’
🔥 WHAT'S HOT:
Proximity to Charlotte: Guests appreciate being close to city attractions while feeling secluded.
Cleanliness: Many recent reviews note how clean and well-maintained the property is.
Outdoor Amenities: The outdoor shower, fire pit, kayaks, and swinging bed are frequently mentioned as highlights.
❌ WHAT'S NOT:
Size: Some guests note the interior is quite small, which can be an issue for longer stays.
Occasional Neighborhood Noise: Some reviews note it's less secluded than expected.
Shower is Outside: While many enjoy it, some find it challenging, especially in cold weather or at night.
📝 LATEST REVIEW: “Really cool place, loved pretty much everything. Very clean and very aesthetic. The only thing was that the only shower is outside, this wasn’t a bad thing but if you’re alone it can be a little unnerving at night. Definitely recommend a morning shower in the sunlight though, very peaceful.”
HEADS UP: This treehouse, located on 26 acres just outside Charlotte, offers a secluded feel but is actually in a residential area. While you'll enjoy nature and privacy, you're only about 10-12 minutes from downtown Charlotte and 20-25 minutes from the airport. A car is recommended, but rideshare services are available. The outdoor shower is the only bathing option, which may be challenging in cold weather or at night.
