This Off-Grid North Carolina Treehouse Is the State’s Cutest Airbnb
Flowertown Charm is an easy way to escape city life just 45 minutes from Asheville.
Deep in the rolling hills of North Carolina, Flowertown Charm Off-Grid Treehouse offers a true escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. As the sun set, we arrived at Flowertown Charm, tucked away in the hills near the quaint town of Canton. The final stretch of the drive took us up a half-mile incline, winding through picturesque woods until we reached the treehouse. As we parked and stepped out, the calm crisp air immediately set the tone for our stay.

We checked in and quickly set to work starting a fire to warm up the cozy space. The sun had already set by the time we got settled, leaving us surrounded by darkness. When morning came, the light revealed just how incredible the views were — rolling hills stretched out as far as the eye could see, and the treehouse felt like it was perched in its own private slice of heaven.

A treehouse that’s really a treehome

Inside, the warmth and charm of the space made it clear this wasn’t your average treehouse. It was tastefully designed with unique lighting, decorative pillows, and dream catchers that added a personal touch. The wood-paneled walls and soft lighting created a soothing ambiance, while oversized windows invited the outdoors in. Every detail had been thoughtfully cared for. The lofted bedroom was as comfortable as it was charming, with plush linens and a mattress that made it hard to leave in the mornings.
The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare hearty meals, and the wood-burning stove quickly became the heart of the living space. It wasn’t just practical; it added a comforting warmth that made the cabin feel even cozier. Solar power provided electricity, and a generator ensured power was always available. While the outdoor shower wasn’t operational in the winter, the indoor amenities — including a fully functional toilet and a propane heater — made our stay incredibly comfortable. Outside, the balcony offered breathtaking views, complete with rocking chairs that made it the perfect spot to sip coffee and soak in the stillness.
Meet the gentle giants

One of the most magical aspects of Flowertown Charm is its four Highland cows. These gentle giants roam the 23-acre property and are as friendly as they are photogenic. We spent time feeding and petting them, even brushing their thick coats. It’s not every day you can say you’ve shared a morning with Highland cows, and it was an experience we’ll never forget.
Getting here and exploring the area
While the treehouse itself is a retreat, there’s plenty to do nearby if you’re up for exploring. The quaint town of Canton is just a short drive away, offering charming local shops and dining options. If you’re looking for more excitement, Asheville is only 45 minutes from the treehouse. Known for its vibrant arts scene, world-class dining, and the iconic Biltmore Estate, Asheville is a great day trip destination. Nature enthusiasts are in for a treat, as Western North Carolina, boasts a variety of trails perfect for hiking, exploring, and soaking in the stunning landscapes.
Flowertown Charm is conveniently located 45 minutes from Asheville Regional Airport. The drive to the treehouse takes you through scenic countryside, past winding roads and charming small towns.
