Fun Family Treehouse - Kid Approved w/ 20ft Slide!

Brian and Amanda Jensen, the visionary founders of Sanctuary Treehouse Resort, embarked on this extraordinary journey many years ago. The seed of inspiration was planted when they built a treehouse for their children. Over time, this idea germinated and flourished until the Jensens were inspired to bring something truly unique to the Smokies—an experience that would redefine hospitality: the world's first interactive treehouse resort.

In March 2023, they realized their dream by opening the doors to their first seven treehouses. The Jensen's ambitious plans extend beyond, with a vision to become the world's largest treehouse resort once they reach 130 units. Their creativity and imagination have proven to captivate even the most skeptical vacationers.

As a family-owned and operated establishment, the Jensen's take immense pride in involving their children in building and shaping the resort. They exemplify the spirit of pursuing dreams and turning them into reality.

Guests discover that upon arrival, the enchantment of their treehouse becomes so captivating that leaving becomes a challenge. Whether seeking adventure or relaxation, guests of all ages find it right there within the embrace of the treehouses. Sanctuary Treehouse Resort is a testament to the Jensen family's dedication to crafting an experience that lingers in the hearts of all who visit.

The decision to purchase the 40-acre property by the founders, Brian and Amanda Jensen, stemmed from a desire to preserve the land when they learned that developers were considering buying it to develop large apartments or cabins, potentially impacting the mountainside. Living nearby, the Jensens were determined to prevent such development on this beautiful piece of land.

Upon inspecting the property, they recognized its unique potential and realized that it was the ideal location for the treehouse resort they had been envisioning for another property they owned. This insight led them to decide to acquire the 40 acres, turning it into Sanctuary Treehouse Resort and safeguarding the natural beauty of the mountainside from large-scale development.

Beyond being the world's first interactive treehouse resort, the Sanctuary Treehouse Resort team takes hospitality to a new level by offering services that set them apart from other accommodations.

Upon arrival, guests are treated to a range of complimentary amenities, including snacks, coffee, bottled water, Sanctuary K-cups, creamer, hot chocolate, and a variety of teas as well as cooking, cleaning, and storage supplies. This thoughtful provision allows guests to simply pull up, park, and dive into their vacation without worrying about the essentials. The resort also provides unlimited firewood and fire-starting kits at no extra cost.

Each treehouse is equipped with both indoor LED fireplaces and outdoor wood-burning fireplaces, providing warmth and ambiance. For larger groups, the resort offers a community outdoor fire pit and kitchen, creating a communal space for shared moments.

With an unbeatable location offering incredible views, guests can easily access the resort before venturing into the bustling area to explore the mountains and all the Smoky Mountains have to offer. The resort's proximity to entertainment, shopping, and dining ensures that guests have easy access to everything they could desire in the area, making their stay both convenient and unforgettable.
