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!.
