About this property

The Willow Treehouse

Summary:

The ultimate "Work from Anywhere" retreat! Swap your office walls for a "Treehouse Masters" masterpiece. This 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom treehouse offers a serene forest backdrop for your calls, just 5 mins from the National Park. Enjoy high-speed Wi-Fi, a quaint kitchenette for coffee breaks, and full Heat/AC. After work, rejuvenate by the babbling creek or the firepit. With rustic-chic interiors and a rainfall shower, it’s the perfect blend of productivity and Smoky Mountain "slow life."



The Space:

Take “work from anywhere” seriously this year & stay where nature meets productivity. Designed with a rustic cabin feel, The Willow Treehouse has a cozy home-like layout: 1 queen bed, full bathroom with rainfall shower, living space, and quaint kitchenette with coffee machine are on the main floor. Access another queen bed on the loft via a sturdy ladder; we recommend the main-floor queen for those with mobility concerns. Both the loft and main floor have heating/air-conditioning. Extra linens, towels, and pillows provided.



A small, covered porch and open-air porch included, both private and filled with outdoor seating options. Take calls among the forests and breaks walking along the babbling creek.



Seclusion + perks of the exclusive resort - shared firepits, grills, swings and picnic tables available to resort guests. Plus, gain access to free and discounted tickets to local attractions!

Spotless & Unique.

We loved our stay at the Treehouse. I am a stickler for cleanliness and the treehouse was spotless. It was very close to downtown and had a neat atmosphere.

Awesome!

It was a very nice and cozy treehouse, overall it was great! But our tree home was a bit small. Other than that it was lovely.

What liked about this place was how well built these properties were and mostly the attention to details in the workmanship and wood joinery, absolutely stunning and amazing!!!a big shoutout to the Treehouse Masters. I have watched the tv show many times. They have truly lived up to their namesake. To The Ayres Family, thank you for the opportunity to stay at this wonderful concept.
