Tree House Airb B&B on WLOS Channel 13 News<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Last night on the news they had a treehouse that is a short term rental in Woodfin, near Asheville.<\/p>\n

They interviewed two guests and the owner, Mike Parrish. Mike says he plans to add 10 more treehouses and a hobbit home, \u201cSomething right out of “Lord of the Rings.”<\/p>\n

They showed around this actual small house actually supported by trees. Parrish named it the Treehouse of Serenity.<\/p>\n

This treehouse was built via an episode of The Treehouse Guys, on the DIY network which aired August of 2017! Just as exciting as an hour TV show, we were also featured in an HGTV & Travel Channel (Hidden by Airbnb) video which has been viewed more than 10 million times! Not to mention, local TV and print news.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Asheville Crash Pad in the Trees<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sweet-talkin’ Ashevillians, Michael and Caroline Parrish, embody Southern hospitality. Constantly hosting and showing guests around Asheville, NC, they take pride in the stomping ground they call home. Hoping to create a one-of-a-kind experience on their 5-acre property, Michael and Caroline are excited to take advantage of their mountaintop view and build the ultimate crash pad in the trees. It doesn’t take long for the Treehouse Guys to get into the groove for this mountaintop build, chock-full of Southern charm and all the amenities of home.<\/p>\n

Earlier, March 9, 2016, Asheville Citizen Times Answer Man<\/strong> answered the question \u201cJust north of Reynolds Mountain, there\u2019s a huge concrete structure going up on the top of the mountain. It looks like some kind of water reservoir. What is it? Is the county building this? Did they permit it? I thought you couldn\u2019t building anything on the ridge tops?\u201d<\/p>\n

The Answer Man interviewed Mike Parrish. He told him; “It’s about 60 acres, and we’ll have homes, as well as a short-term tree house rental development…\u201d<\/p>\n

  2. Yes. Short term rentals are allowed with a minimum stay of 7 consecutive days. Serenity is located within the Town of Woodfin district and not within Asheville city limits.
