About this property

Create fond Smoky Mtn. memories in a boutique home just outside Bryson City, NC

The Treehouse is a privately owned boutique home catering to families wishing to decompress, couples looking for a romantic getaway, and friends in need of a relaxing retreat. The home overlooks beautiful Bryson City, NC, “The Gateway to the Smokies,” and sits atop a hill offering lovely views of the surrounding Great Smoky Mountains. The home is five minutes from the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad and is close to biking trails such as Tsali and Fire Mountain. The home is a fifteen-minute drive from Nantahala Gorge, Lake Fontana, and twelve miles from Harrah's Cherokee Casino Resort.

The home is well-appointed and welcoming, and we make every effort to ensure our guests have plenty of amenities like fluffy towels, plush robes, an assortment of teas and coffees, a welcome snack basket, and mints by your pillow. Each room is individually decorated and full of character and personality.

You will enjoy complete privacy, a fully equipped kitchen, and floor-to-ceiling windows in each room. The house includes a queen, double, and twin bed. The home has one small bath supplied with bath bombs, shampoos, lotions, and body wash.

Each room includes a Blu-Ray player & access to Netflix & Disney+. There's a great collection of board games, puzzles, books, and movies, along with a Nintendo Switch, controllers, and several games. Regulation-size cornhole boards are provided for play, and there's a large deck with an outdoor fireplace for making smores or enjoying downtime with your family and friends. A charcoal grill is provided including charcoal, lighter cubes, and grilling tools.

If you have motorcycles or kayaks the house has an adjacent carport for your gear.
Want to work out? Our neighbor, Shift Wellness & Performance, offers a $5 per day day-pass; they have a beautiful gym with a splendid view of the Smokies.
Important note: the house sits on a pillar, and you will need to climb steps to get to the front door. The most convenient access is near the carport.
The home is not recommended for those with trailers as the paved driveway is steep with a few sharp curves.

We would love the opportunity to help you create fond memories and celebrate with family and friends. We have one vacation rental, do not use a management service, respond to each guest personally, and focus on attention to detail. We ensure the home is well taken care of, so you feel like you are truly at your home away from home. Be our guest and see what makes our home special.

Awesome getaway, yet close enough to the city.

Property was wonderful, tucked up in the woods yet just a short drive to Bryson City. The Treehouse was very nice and welcoming, and had many amenities and was well supplied with necessities and games, etc.

Funky home with beautiful views

Fun treehouse to stay at, comfortable, well-equipped kitchen, many floor to ceiling windows with gorgeous views. The owners left us a very nice welcoming basket and wood for an outdoor fire. They even decorated the house for Christmas! Great location, very close to town.

Escape to the mountains

This was our second stay at the Treehouse. We love the experience of the setting, enjoying the view, sitting outside in the evenings around the firepit and playing cornhole. The welcoming details inside are greatly appreciated. It really is a fun place to escape to and to celebrate a special occasion.

Absolute Perfect Getaway!

Absolutely Perfect Getaway!This was my first time visiting Bryson City, and I’m so glad I chose this treehouse instead of staying in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. The space was clean, spacious, and incredibly relaxing—exactly what we needed to unwind. The treehouse had such a peaceful vibe, and you could truly feel immersed in nature while still enjoying all the comforts of home.The town itself was just as lovely—everyone we met was warm and welcoming, and it’s clearly a very family-oriented community. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.If you’re looking for a memorable stay, skip the hotel and book this treehouse—you won’t regret it. I’m already planning my next visit!

Wonderful stay!

We enjoyed our weekend stay at the treehouse. We loved the grill and fire pit option and used them for supper and marshmallow roasting. We were a short drive from the train station where we spent Saturday. We loved the fact we had a paved driveway to the home. Plenty of parking space, cornhole, etc! It was a great stay! We have information so we can stay again!

Sweet Treehouse

The home was adorable inside and out, and there was lots of thought put into every detail. Our Grandson loved what he thought was a treasure hunt for the bedside mints:) My favorite part was the wall of windows on the front side of the house with an absolutely spectacular view.

Great location and great hosts!

The Treehouse was perfect for our (17 yo son and me) long weekend of fishing. The wooded property makes it feel like you're way off in the woods, but Bryson city is only a mile or so away. The hosts were a pleasure to work with and provided welcome goodies for us. An added plus was the toiletries provided, as we forgot to pack a couple things. The Treehouse was one of the best short-term rental experiences I've had. I would definitely go back.

About the host

Hosted by Warren Snyder

Host profile image
My wife and I love the mountains of Western NC and are proud to call Bryson City our home. We believe the Treehouse is a special place and take great care of the home. We think our area is one of the most beautiful spots in the world. We think you will love it too:-)

Why they chose this property

We're located just one mile from the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad and enjoy hearing the train whistle off in the distance. The views from the home are spectacular in the fall and winter and being in the canopy of trees in the summer makes the home truly feel like a tree-house.

We own 14 acres surrounding the home, and you'll enjoy the complete privacy. The deck is perfect for an afternoon snooze in the hammock or an evening of marshmallow roasting in the outdoor fireplace. Or, play a game of cornhole by the deck as you enjoy the mountain views.

What makes this property unique

The home is wholly equipped, and special attention is given to each guest to ensure a memorable and relaxing experience. Each room is warmly decorated and the home includes cozy blankets, plush robes, fluffy towels, extra pillows, an assortment of coffees and teas, wine, beer, and champagne glasses, and all your baking utensils including casserole dishes, large bowls for popcorn, pots, baking dishes, cookie sheets, toaster, full sized Keurig, and blender.

If you or a family member are celebrating a birthday or anniversary, please let us know as we will be glad to help you celebrate this special occasion.

We offer a charcoal grill and include charcoal, fire starter cubes, grilling utensils, and have posted grilling instructions near by to aid in grilling the perfect steak, burger, hotdog, or corn on the cob.

Your washer and dryer are located in the home's basement and we provide dryer sheets, laundry pods, and fabric softener.
