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.

These rates are for two people, and $10.00 each for additional guests

Our family had a great stay over Valentine's Day weekend. Our first time in Townsend but it won't be our last. It's clear that Melody takes pride in how clean the Treehouse cottage is and she made the weekend feel really special for us with recommendations on what to do with children and the little touches as we arrived and got settled in. Would stay here again!

The cabin was so cute and had everything you could need. Perfect size for just a couples weekend getaway. But more importantly, our host was so sweet. She left me a birthday card and bouquet cut from her own flowers.

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.
