Tucked away on 25 acres of enchanted forest, our treehouse retreat offers an unparalleled blend of seclusion, beauty, and sophistication. Here, the hush of towering trees mingles with sweeping mountain views, creating a haven where nature and luxury entwine. Each custom-designed treehouse, cradled in the canopy of the Blue Ridge Mountains, invites you to indulge in comfort touched with whimsy—an immersive escape where starlight filters through branches and mornings awaken with the sounds of nearby waterfalls and running creeks. Crafted with intention by the renowned Treehouse Experts, our treehouses are among the rare few nationwide truly supported by living trees, offering not just a stay, but a story whispered by the forest itself.












Suspended among seven trees, The Hylo is our largest treehouse — perfect for families or groups. Designed to blend adventure with comfort, this elevated hideaway invites you to relax in a soaring net loft, cross a gently swaying bridge, and take in panoramic mountain views from a private lookout platform.
The treehouse features two bedrooms, a bunk room with three twin beds ideal for children, and a bright open-air living area with a Murphy bed, comfortably accommodating up to six adults and three kids. Playful details, including a speaker tube connecting the bunk room to a hidden playroom, create a sense of discovery for younger guests, while adults can unwind in refined comfort.
Expansive outdoor spaces set the stage for dining and relaxation, while the hot tub, outdoor shower, suspended nets, and fire pit provide peaceful moments immersed in nature. Every element of The Hylo is designed to create a memorable treetop escape where luxury and adventure coexist.

Our stay at the Hylo treehouse was absolutely amazing. We didn't know what to expect, but we were blown away by the experience. Every detail was so thoughtfully planned, making the space both unique and incredibly comfortable. The kids had the time of their lives and keep asking us to go back-it truly felt magical for them. You can't get closer to nature than this, and yet it still offered all the luxury and comfort we could have hoped for. An unforgettable stay!

We've stayed at Hylo in Highlands several times with our whole family, and it's become our go-to retreat. The kids absolutely love it, and it truly feels like a getaway-peaceful, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed. At the same time, it's perfectly located with easy access to everything in Highlands, from shopping to restaurants. It's the best of both worlds: a relaxing escape and all the convenience you could want nearby.
