The Magnolia Treehouse

Summary:

Nestled among the forest near The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is this cozy 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom treehouse – the perfect place to relax and reconnect, whether it's with loved ones, yourself, or nature. Spend your morning doing yoga on your private deck, journaling in a cozy chair by the fire, or walking along Norton Creek. During the day, explore all Gatlinburg has to offer, from the nearby hiking trails to Dollywood. Then, come home to a restful, secluded escape by “Treehouse Masters.”



The Space:

Your only alarm clock: birdsong and the babbling of Norton Creek. Perfect for romantic getaways, wellness getaways, and staycations.



Designed with a rustic cabin feel, The Dogwood Treehouse has a cozy home-like layout: 1 queen bed, full bathroom with rainfall shower, living space, and quaint kitchenette 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 in canopy views of the old-growth forests.



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



An Ayres family passion-project that came to life – Built and designed by the “Treehouse Master.”



Guest Access:

Private Entrance with No-Contact Entry via Keycode Provided Before Arrival



The Neighborhood:

This treehouse is settled in the trees within a gated community, Norton Creek Resort, only 15 minutes off the Parkway and 5 minutes from the entrance of The Great Smoky Mountains National Park.



Getting Around:

Taxi services, Uber, Lyft (+ DoorDash, Uber Eats) are available. Downtown Gatlinburg offers trolley service. There is ample public parking available for driving around the area.
