We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend at Wizard's Hollow. It is exactly as pictured, and Caroline & Mike were always very responsive. We hope to return to check out the other treehouses soon!
Not having a stove or oven wasn't a problem for us. We got some groceries at Ingles on night one, then snacked from those. We enjoyed a small fire and made s'mores. When we did venture out, we had an amazing lunch at Stoney Knob Cafe, and later got pizza to go from Blue Mountain Pizza. We explored the NC Botanical Gardens, Blue Ridge Parkway, NC Arboretum, and Catawba Falls. The changing of leaves wasn't quite happening yet at the treehouse - but slightly further up in elevation was gorgeous.
We had tons of fun playing with the invisibility cloak and the Harry Potter trivia, while watching Harry Potter of course. As Potterheads, this was super fun. If you're not into Harry Potter, it's probably not worth the extra price for the themeing. But the attention to detail was worth it for us!
I would plan to arrive in the daytime, if possible. The road up to the treehouses is gravel, but we understand it will be paved soon. Our little Honda did just fine.
