This Riverview Treehouse is a delight, as are the hosts Mike and Anna. The house looks down at the river, and there are two private porches for viewing. Watching the sun sparkle on the river and listening to bird songs over the gentle sound of the water flowing by is mesmerizing. It puts you in a state of flow. After a few hours, you'll notice that your shoulders are no longer wrapped around your neck.
The ease of tiny living is in the beautiful and built-in details; you'll find an outlet where you need one and a shelf on each side of the bed for a drink or to charge your phone. A fridge with a freezer and three cooking options. The bed is comfy, the shower water is hot, and, of course, there is a Keurig coffee maker. You can put the kayaks in the water at the site and do a 45-minute float down the river. If they're available, Mike or Anna will pick you up.
The location is ideal. You're fifteen minutes from Lansing, twenty minutes from West Jefferson, and forty minutes from Boone. Several other towns are nearby, so exploring the area is easy. I'll visit frequently; it is a mere three hours from Raleigh.
