About this property

The Magnolia Treehouse

Summary:

Nestled among the forest near The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is this cozy 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom treehouse – the perfect place to relax and reconnect, whether it's with loved ones, yourself, or nature. Spend your morning doing yoga on your private deck, journaling in a cozy chair by the fire, or walking along Norton Creek. During the day, explore all Gatlinburg has to offer, from the nearby hiking trails to Dollywood. Then, come home to a restful, secluded escape by “Treehouse Masters.”



The Space:

Your only alarm clock: birdsong and the babbling of Norton Creek. Perfect for romantic getaways, wellness getaways, and staycations.



Designed with a rustic cabin feel, The Dogwood Treehouse has a cozy home-like layout: 1 queen bed, full bathroom with rainfall shower, living space, and quaint kitchenette 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 in canopy views of the old-growth forests.



Seclusion + perks of the exclusive resort - shared firepits, grills, swings and picnic tables available to resort guests.



An Ayres family passion-project that came to life – Built and designed by the “Treehouse Master.”



Guest Access:

Private Entrance with No-Contact Entry via Keycode Provided Before Arrival



The Neighborhood:

This treehouse is settled in the trees within a gated community, Norton Creek Resort, only 15 minutes off the Parkway and 5 minutes from the entrance of The Great Smoky Mountains National Park.



Getting Around:

Taxi services, Uber, Lyft (+ DoorDash, Uber Eats) are available. Downtown Gatlinburg offers trolley service. There is ample public parking available for driving around the area.



Other Things to Note:

- We do not allow RVs, campers or trailers on-site

- Please be aware that due to potential freezing temperatures in January and February, there's a risk of frozen water pipes.

- Please take note that bears are in the area. We do provide bear safety tips upon arrival.

- As Of September 22, 2025, Sevier County Fire adjusted their laws so that we are no longer able to have private firepits on the decks of each treehouse, only community firepits steps away from your treehouse.
