About this property

The Willow Treehouse

  • Summary:

    The ultimate "Work from Anywhere" retreat! Swap your office walls for a "Treehouse Masters" masterpiece. This 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom treehouse offers a serene forest backdrop for your calls, just 5 mins from the National Park. Enjoy high-speed Wi-Fi, a quaint kitchenette for coffee breaks, and full Heat/AC. After work, rejuvenate by the babbling creek or the firepit. With rustic-chic interiors and a rainfall shower, it’s the perfect blend of productivity and Smoky Mountain "slow life."



    The Space:

    Take “work from anywhere” seriously this year & stay where nature meets productivity. Designed with a rustic cabin feel, The Willow Treehouse has a cosy home-like layout: 1 queen bed, full bathroom with rainfall shower, living space, and quaint kitchenette with coffee machine are on the main floor. Access another queen bed on the loft via a sturdy ladder; we recommend the main-floor queen for those with mobility concerns. Both the loft and main floor have heating/air-conditioning. Extra linens, towels, and pillows provided.



    A small, covered porch and open-air porch included, both private and filled with outdoor seating options. Take calls among the forests and breaks walking along the babbling creek.



    Seclusion + perks of the exclusive resort - shared firepits, grills, swings and picnic tables available to resort guests.

Spotless & Unique.

We loved our stay at the Treehouse. I am a stickler for cleanliness and the treehouse was spotless. It was very close to downtown and had a neat atmosphere.

It was a very nice and cozy treehouse, overall it was great! But our tree home was a bit small. Other than that it was lovely.
