About this property

Peaceful, extremely clean Treehouse cottage 10 min. from National Park entrance

Are you looking for the perfect getaway? Picture yourself in a cozy Appalachian style log cabin. The soft breeze blowing through the trees while you're swinging on the porch swing sipping iced tea. The views from the porch and windows are of evergreens, hardwoods and the enchanting Smoky Mountains. You have all the amenities you need for a relaxing stay. You have a jacuzzi, fully equipped kitchen, 2 bedrooms, bath w/shower, washer & dryer, central heat & air and Weber charcoal grill. You can even nap in the hammock nestled in the trees. The 'tree house' cabin has earned its name because it feels like you are literally in a treehouse when you are rocking or swinging on the covered porch. You are surrounded by nature at its finest. Come for a visit and see why so many of our guests return time and time again.

Check in and check out we’re super easy. The cottage has everything you needed if you wanted to relax, but close to everything if you wanted to explore. It was clean and the bed we used was comfortable. The hot tub was the perfect touch. We loved the peaceful setting while sitting on the rocking chairs.

Beautiful property tucked in the mountain area with the perfect set up for a weekend get away. We honestly hated the fact we were gone a little more from the place and didn’t get to enjoy it to the fullest. The side porch sitting to see foggy mountain mornings, to beautiful fireplace work that makes you want to cozy up and light a fire. This will definitely be a spot we return to again.

Perfect for Peace and Quiet!

Great cabin close to everything but tucked far enough away that you have a perfect place to get away for some quiet relaxation! Cabin has everything you need and the owner is simply amazing! It was a great stay, and we will return again the next time we are headed to the park.

The Perfect Get-Away for

The Treehouse cottage is an adorable place to stay for privacy and a quiet atmosphere. There is a Wonderful porch with rocking chairs and a nice view. Convenient to stores and restaurants, should you need to go to town. The cottage was clean, very comfortable, and provided everything you could possibly need. We loved it so much, we plan to stay again next year!

About the host

Hosted by Melody Gilbertson

Host profile image
I'm a country 'girl' who grew up on a dairy farm in northwest Wisconsin. I have lived here in Townsend for 34 years now. I live on the 8 1/2 acres where the Treehouse cabin is located. I also have a log cabin which I love.

Why they chose this property

I am blessed to own one of the most beautiful tracts of land in Blount County. It is also very close to the Smoky Mtn. Natl. Park. I can ride my horse right into the Smokies. There are three trailheads under 3 miles from the Treehouse cabin. Guests love to hike in the Park, or even just go for walks here in our valley which is called Dry Valley.
