Cabin Name: Tree House
Located in Townsend, TN, on a private road nestled in a hollow just out of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Tree House is such a special place. With several decks, outside dining, and a huge hot tub, spending time outside is easy and relaxing. Listening to the birds and watching wildlife lounge in the distance makes every morning memorable and inviting.
Start off your day with a breakfast feast cooked up in the beautiful and well-equipped kitchen. The smell of bacon wafting through the cabin and waking up the family. Each sleeping in their comfy private rooms, awaiting morning to spend time with the family in the Great Smoky Mountains. Folks, it just doesn't get much better than this!!

Take the family tubing in Little River, for a long drive through Cades Cove or a short stint out to Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg.

One with a wood-burning fireplace and the other with plenty of room for playing cards or board games.

Common Concerns: *Road Conditions: Some of our cabins are on steep, narrow, curvy, mountain roads. If you are concerned about road conditions to get to a cabin, please feel free to ask us! None of our cabins requires a 4-wheel drive under normal weather conditions, but some do in inclement weather. *TV & WiFi: We do have TVs and WiFi in most of our cabins. There are times when heavy cloud cover, weather systems, mountains, or trees will cause problems with the signals. We always want our guests to have the comforts they want on vacation, but there are times we cannot control this problem. *Pests & Wildlife: Here in the Smoky Mountains, we have lots of native bugs and wildlife. All of our cabins are treated for pests, but there are times you will find bugs or even have trouble with bugs. Fall/Winter is ladybug season in the Smokies, and these little buggers are attracted to heat, meaning your cabin and every other one out there that is warm! They will swarm to the cabin, and you'll probably see them alive/dead on windowsills, in vents, etc. Rest assured that your cabin has regular pest control and is professionally cleaned, including bug removal, before and after your stay. However, these bugs come back right away, and unfortunately, there is nothing that can be done about them until the season passes. Please never feed, taunt, or approach any wildlife. This is their home, and we are the visitors. *There are no refunds for storms or power outages. If there is a power outage, there will be no water and potentially no heat. Storms can also make roads impassable, so if a storm is in the forecast during your reservation, come prepared with water and non-perishable food, etc.
FEES: The management company of this cabin charges a $20 per stay Damage Waiver Fee to every customer. It is automatically included in your rate. This covers our guests for up to $350 worth of accidental damage should damage occur during their stay. If damage occurs to the cabin, furnishings, etc, please report it to management as soon as possible so that the damage can be repaired. You may opt out of paying the $20 damage waiver fee by putting down a $350 REFUNDABLE damage deposit.
✨ Peace of Mind & Travel Insurance: I want your stay to be stress-free and enjoyable. Please note that this home has a strict cancellation policy. Because life can be unpredictable, we encourage all guests to purchase travel insurance for extra peace of mind. This way, you can book with confidence knowing you’re protected no matter what comes up. This can be done at www.insuremytrip.com where you can pick the coverage that suits your situation.

Cabin was great! Hot tub was amazing on that deck, enjoying the outdoors. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and cooking items. It was beautifully remote but close to town.

We loved this place, it was perfect for our group. The kids could play downstairs, while we would prepare meals upstairs. It was a great layout and had enough space. Would highly recommend.

Thank you for your kind words about our property. We're glad to hear that it was easily accessible on motorcycles. We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you again in the future.
We stayed here for a family wedding. The cabin is very nice, warmly and comfortably decorated. We didn’t do a lot of cooking, but the kitchen seemed to have basic supplies. There were plenty of towels, and the cabin was very clean. Check in was very easy, and the management company was very good at communicating with me. The cabin is in a great location, very convenient to everything Townsend has to offer, but still feels like you are away from it all, I would definitely stay here again.

We had a great time on vacation this year. The Tree House is a beautiful home located in a quiet area. It was so peaceful and relaxing. The hot tub was awesome. The drive to Gatlinburg through the Smokey Mountains was amazing. Saw a lot of wild turkeys and deer. We look forward to staying in the Tree house again.
What a great place! Perfect for 4 adults and our two kids. We loved being able to see the Smokies without having to deal with Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge. Townsend has some fine restaurants, but we cooked most of our meals in the fully equipped kitchen. Afternoons in the hot tub after hiking were perfect. We saw 3 bears up the hill checking out the neighbor's house! We'll definitely try to stay here again if we come back to the Smokes.

Aren't the bears just amazing creatures!! This cabin has them around very often. From the hot tub to the well equipped kitchen, this cabin allows for lots of memory making activities with your family & friends.
The Treehouse is amazing. There are Hugh windows where you have a panoramic view of the trees. It looks just like you are sitting up high in a tall tree. My new favorite place.

Martha, thank you for your kind words about The Treehouse! We are so glad you enjoyed the panoramic view of the trees and that it was your new favorite place. We appreciate your feedback!
The cabin was amazing, clean, and well stocked. Hot tub was a hit and the pool at the country club! Everything the photos show is accurate. Plenty of privacy from the other cabins in the area. Host was very quick to respond, not that we had to contact themMuch. Just followed the check in and out instructions. Plenty to do nearby, drove to Cades Cove one day and hiked the trails. Plenty of hiking nearby, caverns, and the river was a plus. The lightning bugs were awesome to see and the wildlife. Townsend was so peaceful compared to the other touristy areas nearby. Can’t wait to come back to this beautiful place.

We so enjoyed our stay at this cabin.
The cabin has all of your needs covered. It comes with all your everyday needs stocked.
We loved all of the balconies and windows so that we could enjoy nature.
The location is nice too. It’s away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
The accommodations were comfortable. We went to hike and the location was very convenient. Townsend is definitely the "quiet side" and liked the how close the house was to the town and park entrance. We enjoyed are short stay there.
This is our favorite place to stay. It’s very quite yet not too far away from pigeon forge or gatlinburg. The place is beyond beautiful. And so Incredibly relaxing. My little man who is 5 loves it also. Asks me every time if we could just live there.
