“A treetop retreat where forest spa and mountain views invite stillness”
This newly built treehouse sits among the trees, its 12-foot steel and glass windows framing mountain and forest views from nearly every angle. The interior celebrates natural materials: wood, stone, and light work together throughout the single bedroom space. A king bed positioned beneath a skylight offers front-row seats to misty mornings and starlit nights, dressed in soft linens that make cool mountain evenings especially restful. The bathroom feels like its own sanctuary, with an elegant plaster shower, custom oak and marble vanity, and plush Italian robes waiting. A kitchenette handles light meals, complemented by a curated tasting bar stocked with candies, snacks, and premium bourbon. Evenings might mean casting a film onto the projector screen while the indoor fireplace warms the room.
The property sits just two miles from downtown Highlands, tucked into the seclusion of a rhododendron forest. An elevated boardwalk leads to the entrance, the trees close enough to feel like neighbors. Beyond the immediate canopy, mountain views stretch into the distance, the kind that shift with weather and light throughout the day.
Mornings here tend to unfold slowly, coffee in hand, watching fog lift through the trees while still wrapped in a robe. The private forest spa, reached by descending thirty stone steps into a rhododendron grove, holds an inset hot tub, dry heat sauna warmed by hot stones, and an open-air cold plunge shower. The rhythm feels intentional: warm up, cool down, repeat, with only birdsong as company. When you're ready to venture out, downtown Highlands and its acclaimed restaurants are just minutes away. But most guests find themselves pulled back to the treehouse, content to let the forest set the pace.
