Spectacular panoramic mountain views! 3 king suites, hike, bike, swim, paddle

You can hike straight from the house! Private kayak slips on two lakes! Welcome to Treetop House Brevard, a beautiful 5 bedroom, 3.5-bath mountain house, 2448 square feet, with THREE master bedrooms and a beautiful mountain view with epic sunsets! Each master bedroom has an "en suite" bathroom, a California King bed (new in 2021), and a private outdoor covered balcony. There are also two open decks and a large screened porch, all with mountain views. The view is entirely woods and mountains, with hardly any houses visible -- it looks almost as if you are looking over thousands of undeveloped mountain acres.

Summer view is lovely but partially hidden by trees.

No more than 7 adults please. No events allowed. All guests are expected to respect the neighbors and the peaceful environment in this mountain retreat.

We purchased and furnished this house in 2021 and it is in great shape -- most furniture is new, including all beds. We also have new water heater, AC/heat pump/furnace, fridge, dishwasher, stove, washer/dryer, television, ceiling fans, bedroom lighting, gas grill, kitchenware, etc.

The house has high-speed wireless internet in every room.

Our driveway is flat, but there are some hills as you drive through the neighborhood. All roads are well-maintained asphalt roads, and the hilly sections are not too steep.

Treetop House Brevard is in Connestee Falls (https://connesteefalls.com), a 3900 acre gated mountain community. The clubhouse is a 10-15 minute walk (you can also drive with plenty of parking). Your entire group will have access to neighborhood amenities including the private lakes, parks, hiking trails, waterfalls, swimming pool, tennis courts, etc (I only charge you $50, but I am required to pay a $175 neighborhood fee for each rental group). The clubhouse has two restaurants and a bar, in addition to a library, a wellness center (828-885-2741, currently $15/day or $50/month) and an 18-hole golf course (828-885-2005, currently $30 for 9 holes, $50 for 18 holes). There is live music most weekends. Dining reservations are available for lunch and dinner (call 828-885-7767).

We have no firepit: it's not allowed in the neighborhood.

MOUNTAIN VIEWS
Situated at 3100 feet elevation, Treetop House Brevard is literally at the highest point on its road. There is a panoramic long-range mountain view of more than 180 degrees, obscured somewhat in summertime with all the leaves out, but always beautiful.

LOCATION
Treetop House is at 335 Cheestoonaya Way, Brevard NC 28712. There is a level driveway with off-street parking for at least four cars. The house is walking distance from multiple private lakes for swimming, kayaking, and paddleboarding, as well as walking distance from the neighborhood clubhouse with restaurants, swimming pool, tennis, weight room, golf, etc. The house is in a peaceful, tranquil setting, and is surrounded by many of the famous local white squirrels (plus plenty of brown squirrels, deer, a few foxes and occasional black bears).

HIKING AND BIKING
You can hike (or bike) straight from the house! You will receive both paper and online maps for the 20 miles of private hiking trails and impressive waterfalls through the 3,900 acre community.

In addition, Treetop House is a 13-minute drive to the nearest parking lot and trailhead in Dupont State Recreational Forest, with 10,000 acres of hiking and biking. Or a 23-minute drive to 500,000 acres of hiking and biking in Pisgah National Forest. See more complete list below.

We have two private kayak slips: at Lake Atagahi (1.3 miles / 5 minute drive from the house) we have 1 one-person kayak, and at Lake Ticoa we have 1 one-person kayak and 2 stand-up paddleboards. We have other small water toys at the house. Use at your own risk. Lake Tiaroga and Lake Ticoa are a short walk (7 minutes and 20 minutes) from Treetop House.
