Treehouse Master Getaway Next Door to GSMNP | Elm

Summary:

Elevate your adventure - literally. Experience the slow life in a genuine "Treehouse Masters" 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom cabin. Tucked away in the Smokies near a babbling creek, you’re just 5 minutes from the National Park entrance and 15 mins from Gatlinburg attractions. This year-round escape features natural wood design, heat/AC, a quaint kitchenette, a private deck, firepit, grills, rainfall shower and comfy queen beds. Perfect for those seeking a nature-first getaway without sacrificing comfort.



The Space:

Choose a one-of-a-kind treehouse by Pete Nelson, “Treehouse Master.” Designed with a rustic cabin feel, The Elm Treehouse has a cozy home-like layout: 1 queen bed, full bathroom with rainfall shower, living space, and quaint kitchenette with essentials are on the main floor. Access another cozy queen on the loft via a sturdy wooden 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. Step from your deck to the banks of Norton Creek, a premier spot for fly fishing on the resort grounds.



Enjoy the seclusion of your private treehouse with the perks of the exclusive resort - shared firepits, swings, picnic tables and grills available to resort guests.
