Property details

Welcome to "One Tree Thrill", a lovingly curated 2-bedroom, 2-bath historic loft located in downtown Wilmington’s Indie Ice House. Perched just above the One Tree Hill Bridge, this space combines local charm with walkable convenience and creative inspiration. You’re steps from Wilmington’s Riverwalk, Live Oak Bank Pavilion, and the heart of the Brooklyn Arts District—a neighborhood bursting with murals, craft breweries, award-winning restaurants, and music venues. Pets: Not allowed. Smoking: Not allowed. Events: Not allowed. Suitable for: children and infants We’ve poured thought and intention into every detail of "One Tree Thrill" to create a space that feels both special and welcoming—a downtown Wilmington retreat for friends, families, and creatives alike. Whether you’re catching live music by the river or grabbing a drink at a tucked-away cocktail bar, this neighborhood is alive with inspiration, color, and culture. Enjoy the balcony with your morning coffee in hand or a sunset toast overlooking the iconic bridge made famous by One Tree Hill. Officially known as the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge, this striking structure became a visual staple in the show’s opening credits, symbolizing the quiet resilience of its characters and the small-town charm of Wilmington! Tucked inside a beautifully restored 1900s brick building, One Tree Thrill blends historic Wilmington character with curated modern touches. The exposed brick and oversized windows hint at the building’s past as part of the city’s early industrial footprint, now transformed into an intimate and inviting retreat.

We had the absolute best stay here during the Wilmington Marathon weekend! We were so tickled that the race route came right behind the property — being able to sit on the balcony and watch the runners go by was such a fun and unexpected highlight. The condo itself was immaculate, beautifully renovated, and thoughtfully decorated. Everything felt fresh and high-end, yet warm and comfortable. It was fully stocked with everything we needed, and the beds were incredibly comfortable — we slept great after a full weekend! The location in downtown Wilmington is fantastic, and since our son lives there, we’re hoping this becomes our regular go-to rental whenever we’re in town. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it!
