Thank you for staying with us and for your feedback. Please come and see us at our brand new boutique hotel in downtown Gatlinburg The Timber at Holly Branch.
My family's stay at the cottonwood treehouse in Treehouse Grove was simply amazing! It was whimsical, magical, and full of wonder with gorgeous views from every window. There was plenty of room for our family of 5 (2 adults and 3 kids), and my kids loved the loft! It was also perfectly equipped with everything that we needed. I loved the option of an indoor or outdoor shower with mountain views! The staff were incredibly accomodating and made sure that our stay was extra special. I would highly recommend for a romantic getaway or family adventure.
