The Perch…a modern storybook treehouse close to Hickory and Morganton

Nestle into your own corner of our 8 acres. Kick back in a forest setting while leaving the rest behind. Wander along the nature path. There are hammock swings available creekside. Sit on the screened in porch and take in bird sounds or by the crackling firepit. Revive in the outdoor shower or soak in your private roomy spa. Sink into the daybed, turn on the fireplace, borrow a book from our mini library or watch a movie. *Rural foothills living convenient to Hickory, Morganton, historic Valdese & Lenoir. We have great parks & lakes to explore. (Boat launch is 4 miles away). Check out a local winery/brewery. The Blue Ridge parkway is a short drive & absolutely breathtaking.
*‘The Perch’ Tiny treehouse is a custom built tiny house (just under 400 square feet). It is situated in a mixed forest. Perfect for a couple or cozy for a small family. Modern design with whimsical storybook touches. It’s like stumbling across granny’s cottage in the forest, but way cooler.

*The space offers a screened-in porch with dining for four plus a two-seater bar top by the big pine through the deck. Cook up a tasty meal in the full kitchen or on the charcoal grill.
*This is a private home with its own gravel driveway and parking area. The flat, mulched path from your vehicle to the Perch is approximately 40 feet. It is suitable for about any vehicle to access and ample room for truck and boat/utility trailer to park (with an experienced driver). We offer self check-in or a meet and greet if you prefer. We live on the property and are readily available to assist our guests.

IMPORTANT: When requesting a your stay, please tell us a little about what brings you to town and who will be traveling with you (this includes children, please state age). Please make sure you have the accurate number of guests in your reservation. We can accommodate up to 4 people, however please note there is no door, only a partition between the queen bed and the two twins in the living area (this can be seen in the photos). While we offer most of the amenities of a standard American home, we do not have a dishwasher on property. To keep a sanitary environment, minimize critters and keep our cleaning fee low, guests are asked to wash the dishes they have used. The Perch has its own dedicated hi-speed internet for our guests. Be advised this is a rural/country environment. You may hear a passing vehicle/lawn mower from time to time, encounter wildlife and sounds common to country life such as woodpeckers, a tractor, a dirt bike/4 wheeler, children at play or even hunting/target practice in the distance.

We have strict no smoking (vaping/marijuana) and no pet policies. Violating these can result in immediate removal of guest and (cleaning/deodorizing) fees will apply-up to $500 per violation.
Per our insurance carrier, all guests must agree to hot tub waiver (sent upon booking). The hot tub is cleaned and chemistry is balanced and video documented daily (notice given prior).
There is only one outdoor camera located on the edge of the entry path (facing just the parking area and driveway). At certain times there may be a wildlife cam (behind the host home along the trail).

**booking constitutes an agreement to house rules, policies and fees** Please consider adding VRBO trip insurance for unforeseen circumstances.
