Tucked among the trees with a true treehouse feel, this charming roundhouse retreat in Mill Ridge captures the kind of mountain escape buyers are searching for—cozy, distinctive, and built for both enjoyment and income potential. This 2-bedroom, 1-bath home stands out with its unique circular design and inviting interior, creating a warm, memorable space that guests love. Currently operating as a proven short-term rental, it offers strong appeal as a guest-favorite retreat with income potential and flexibility for personal use. Financials available upon request. Inside, the efficient layout lives comfortably with a natural flow between living, dining, and kitchen spaces—great for unwinding after a day in the mountains. Large windows bring in natural light and reinforce that elevated, treehouse-like experience that photographs beautifully and keeps guests coming back.

It’s a great spot for morning coffee, evening drinks, and seamless indoor–outdoor living.
