As a “Harry Potter” friend in every friend group, I usually have my eyes open for all things Potter. While lazily scrolling through TikTok this morning, I landed on a video with over seven million views of one Harry Potter Airbnb — which also happens to be the Airbnb that every Potterhead dreams of staying in.
Rather than hiding across the pond, this Airbnb is just 10 minutes north of downtown Asheville, NC. The rental is called “Alchemy” and it is one of seven themed rental units operated by Serenity Treehouses. Instead of recreating Hogwarts, this rental is inspired by the magical tent Harry, Hermione and the Weasley family stayed in during the Quidditch World Cup in “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.” It can’t accommodate an entire army like Arthur Weasley’s borrowed tent, but it can accommodate four people.
Alchemy has some very unique deals for a rental, including:
- 12 foot spiral slide
- 1 Queen bed and 1 futon with sheets
- Private Secondary Glamping Tent
- Wireless
- Coffee maker, 2-burner electric hob, electric indoor grill
- Roku TV
- Kitchenette
- Conventional bathroom
- private household
The Airbnb listing describes this rental’s landscaping as the “best sitting area ever”! And adds, “Our fire pit will provide hours of late-night conversation while enjoying smores!”
Airbnb / Serenity TreehousesThe property listing describes the name behind the tenancy:
“Alchemy” is defined as “the process of taking something ordinary and transforming it into something extraordinary, sometimes in ways that cannot be explained”. As you walk up to our structure, all you see is a small tent waiting for you, but pull the tent flaps and the magic begins. Entering carefully through a small door, you will immediately be greeted by a 12-foot spiral slide that will transport you to the essence of alchemy. At the end of your exhilarating journey, you’ll be greeted by majestic mountain views and an amazing interior filled with secrets to uncover!
If you don’t want to slide around with your (Muggle) suitcase, you can use the normal entrance to the property, hidden but easily accessible via a path. The rental has a shower, a queen-size bed and a fold-out futon. The living room is described as “small”.
It also has a great outdoor space that is just as magical in the description: When you exit the treehouse, you’ll find another tent, called Enchantment. It has a fire pit where you can sit outside for hours enjoying each other’s conversation and a few s’mores.
The nightly rate for Alchemy was previously $225, but due to popularity it is now $352/night. As with all Airbnb rentals, there are additional service fees (about $250 total for five nights) and cleaning fees ($54).
Serenity Treehouses have a second Harry Potter-inspired rental, called Sorcerer’s Hollow.

It doesn’t have a spiral slide entrance, but Wizard’s Hollow looks like a miniature Hogwarts castle nestled in the mountains of Asheville. Availability for 2022 is slim, with dates booked through November. However, there are still many December dates open to book.
