This cozy little treasure was perfect for our excursion to Gatlinburg! It was literally 9 minutes from the majority of our exploration list and the host Geri was very responsive. Had everything we needed
Great location. Immediately convenient to town but far enough from the main streets to feel secluded and peaceful. Cabin was clean and host was readily available and accommodating.
The house was incredibly clean my wife and I had a great time. Its close enough to Gatlinburg to be right there without a long drive but also still completely private with lots of space. Overall we had a great time and would recommend this place to anyone.
Our second time staying at dustys tree house. We love it and our 3 year old loved it just as much! We will definitely stay here everytime we come down! The fenced in deck was an even bigger plus as our 3 year old loves to be outside.
My family had a great time in this cozy little cabin. Close enough to town but located in the right spot to avoid all of the commotion if you want to. I would definitely stay again!
Cabin was perfect for our needs (3 adults 1 dog). . Close to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Host was great! Great communication, friendly, and helpful. Would recommend staying here or any of her other cabins
Overall our stay was cozy and fun. The location is convenient to both Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. Geri is very communicative. We would stay here again.
We arrived for our stay and were very pleased with the cleanliness. Geri is an exceptional host that is responsive to messages. We were also provided with some wonderful dining recommendations. On the third day of our stay we had a black bear casually stroll by and check out what we were doing on the porch. We will definitely book this cabin tucked in the woods again!
This was a great place with everything we needed.
Very close to Gatlinburg (just down the mountain a mile or so). Smoky Mountains national park just as close. Owner was absolutely great to work with. She made our stay wonderful. Will definitely stay here in future trips to the smoky mountains.
Clean, fun cabin. Hot tub was hot and clean and ready to go! Stocked kitchen. Plenty of towels. Great stay!

About the host
Hosted by Geri
I have always loved the Smoky Mountain area & have the fondest memories of when my Daddy would take the whole family there on yearly trips. I can remember dreaming about how great it would be to live in one of those wonderful mountain cabins. It was a dream of mine that stayed with me throughout the years.
Dusty's TreeHouse is my 3rd property in the amazing Smoky Mountains & they all are different & so very special to me. I love taking care of them all, remodeling, redecorating each one, making them all very special, cozy & comfortable home-away-from-homes for my guests & myself & my dogs to enjoy. They are all are pet friendly as I know how important is to take best friends along on vacations. I soon realized that mountain cabins are my passion and I now have more, see them below:

Why they chose this property
This property was a 'must-have' for me. I've been going to the Smoky Mountains for the past 8 years with my best little traveling buddy, Dusty, a Shih-Tzu, along with Bruiser, my big Bearded Collie & later Buddy, my big Great Pyrenees was coming along.
I have had Dusty since he was just a few months old & ever since I bought my first cabin & he has traveled every mile with me there. I have had the name of "Dusty's TreeHouse" in the back of my mind for a cabin/chalet since the beginning. For years, I searched for a property that would fit that name just right. Then I found this one & it could not be a more perfect chalet for the name of Dusty's TreeHouse.
The round designed- chalet has floor-to-ceiling windows all around in every room, it sits high above Ski Mountain Road & is surrounded by beautiful mature trees of the Great Smoky Mountains, making it a perfect Dusty's TreeHouse.
The location is so convenient for visiting Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge & Sevierville for shopping, restaurants, events, activities & sightseeing. They are all close-by & on easy-to-travel roads.
When traveling to Pigeon Forge, take Gatlinburg ByPass to miss all the downtown traffic or take the road that goes through downtown to see all the shops & restaurants & fun places. To go into downtown Gatlinburg, stay on the same road as Dusty's TreeHouse & downtown is 3 miles. Gatlinburg is such a unique romantic town that you will never forget.
Now for the most fun way to go into downtown Gatlinburg, hop on the Aerial Tramway at Ober Gatlinburg, just a 1/2 mile from Dusty's TreeHouse. Park in their parking lot & take the 120-person-glassed-in Aerial Tram. It goes into downtown & returns every 20 minutes, from early to late 7 days a week. Miss all the traffic & parking issues & enjoy the breathtaking birds-eye view of the area.
It is very common to see bears roaming around in the area & often walk right thru Dusty's TreeHouse driveway. They are such fun to watch!.

Dusty's TreeHouse is such a quaint & unique mountain chalet with many extra features. You can park multiple vehicles right at the door, just a few steps to walk onto the deck & then into the ONE- LEVEL chalet. There is a gate at the top of the deck steps to keep kids & pets from roaming.
