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.

The host was extremely kind and helpful. The cabin was very clean and well furnished with supplies and needed items. The hot tub was a nice fixture and was enjoyed after a busy day. I would definitely return to this cabin in the future and recommend it highly to friends and family

A lovely stay overall! I was solo travelling to get some rest and that's exactly what I got. The cabin and the surrounding areas are absolutely beautiful. Everything was clean as advertised with Melody being readily available if you need anything. My personal favorite part was watching the fireflies and a family of hares that live on the property. If you enjoy quiet, cozy beauty, and nature, this is a great choice for you! Also, if you're interested, there's many many activities and areas to explore and discover. I'd definitely rebook in the future. Sincere thanks to Melody for everything

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.

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!

About the host
Hosted by Melody Gilbertson
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.
