Wonderful home away from home!

The cabin was clean and cozy. Check in was super easy. We did not experience any problems during our stay. Location is convenient to commercialized areas, but secluded enough to feel like you are really in the woods. We loved our stay!

We had a wonderful stay. The home was very clean. Our host was very responsive with any questions or concerns we had. Check in was very easy. The area in which the cabin sat wasn't as secluded as we originally thought but were extremely suprised at how quiet it still was. The teenager in our group loved the basement area and our children loved the treehouse. It was a great weekend.

The cabin was beautiful and very authentic. Super easy to get to downtown Gatlinburg and Bypass. There is no tv in the living room but that was on me for not paying attention so that was a little strange for us bc we are big tv watchers at night after a long day of hiking and riding in the mountains. Only other issue we had was the internet tv in upstairs bedroom. The internet connection kept dropping. Otherwise this was a very enjoyable stay and would highly recommend.

About the host

Hosted by Mustard Seed Mountain LLC

Host profile image
Several years ago I visited Tennessee for the first time while on a business trip and when I left it felt like I was leaving home. The following summer my family and I visited Gatlinburg and fell in love with the Smoky Mountains. We fell in love with Treehouse Lodge and the story behind it. I am honored to host you at Treehouse Lodge and I hope you will love the handcrafted charm as much as I do!

Why they chose this property

The location of this property is FANTASTIC! Located within the national park, the cabin sits in a bit of a valley and is close to everything the area has to offer, just 8 mins to downtown Gatlinburg, close to tons of hiking trails/outdoor activites and only about 15 mins to Pigeon Forge!

What makes this property unique

Treehouse Lodge has an amazing and inspiring story. The original cabin was lost in the Gatlinburg fires of 2016. The family that lived there at the time completely rebuilt this cabin from the ground up, lovingly adding hand crafted details such as real log steps, hand made cabinets, etc. You can read the full story in the guest book at the cabin.
