Space

Designed with a rustic cabin feel, this dog-friendly, 450 sq. ft. treehouse offers a home-like layout that sleeps four comfortably. The main floor features a queen bed, a living space brightened by plenty of windows, and a full bathroom with a rainfall shower. For additional sleeping, you can access a cozy queen bed in the loft via a sturdy wooden ladder, though we recommend the main-floor queen for those with mobility concerns. To ensure your comfort in any season, both the loft and main floor are equipped with heating and air-conditioning, and we provide extra linens, towels, and pillows for your stay. For entertainment, there's a 43" TCL TV with streaming capabilities.

The quaint kitchenette is stocked with all the essentials, including a GE mini-fridge, classic microwave, stylish toaster oven, and a Mr. Coffee pot coffee machine. You will find everything you need for dining and prep, from dishware and cutlery to cooking utensils, a cutting board, a can opener, and a wine bottle opener.

Outside, you can enjoy a small, covered porch with bug-resistant screen walls or an open-air porch just a few steps down. Both spaces are private and filled with outdoor seating options. From your deck, you can step directly to the banks of Norton Creek, a premier spot for fly fishing.

Reconnect and relax in the forest while enjoying the seclusion of your private treehouse alongside the perks of an exclusive resort. Guests have access to shared charcoal firepits (with charcoal and lighter fluid provided), swings, picnic tables, and grills.

Access is easy with paved roads leading all the way to the parking lot, located only steps from your door. You are perfectly situated just five minutes from The Great Smoky Mountains National Park and less than five miles from the Parkway.

We just needed a place to stay with our pets close to the mountains

Bridgett Hatsady

We just needed a place to stay with our pets close to the mountains. It was super cool to be up in the tree’s and have a little community of treehouses. The weather was not cold so we were able to sit outside and enjoy the tranquility of the outdoors. Very quaint and peaceful. Pretty cool setup.

The treehouse is in an excellent location with a wonderful peaceful vibe

Ashlee Testerman

The treehouse is in an excellent location with a wonderful peaceful vibe. They have the treehouses set up in a very semi fairytale way in front of the stream with beautiful lights marking the pathway. It is a great stay for a couple looking for a cute, non traditional vacation in a really cool community. The road is a little steep in one spot to the treehouse and could be interesting with snow or ice, but this is pretty typical in this area when not staying in town. The bathroom is super adorable but small, which is what you would expect in a treehouse so if you are looking for a HUGE bathroom this would not be for you. All in all a wonderful stay, beautiful, and have already recommended this location!

What a unique way to spend our time in the Smokey Mountains! We had a great time!

The treehouse was awesome

Stephen Sexton

The treehouse was awesome. My only complaint, and its personal preference, is there were no blinds on the living area windows. Although I felt completely safe I don’t like the idea of anyone being able to look in while I’m asleep (too many scary movies, lol). With that being said it wasn’t a big enough issue to keep me from giving the treehouse 5 stars and I would definitely rent again.

The Dogwood Treehouse was even better than the photos

Tiffany Lewallen

The Dogwood Treehouse was even better than the photos. It was a peaceful retreat among the trees. The house was clean and the private deck with firepit was lovely. Only wish I had more time to enjoy it all.

The treehouse was exactly as pictured

Erin Lundgren

The treehouse was exactly as pictured! It was spotless and the location was perfect. You were secluded by nature but could get to attractions and restaurants quickly.
