National Park Treehouse | Eco-Escape | Hemlock

Summary:

Go green in the Smokies! This "Treehouse Masters" 2-bed, 1-bath eco-escape is a nature-first sanctuary. Nestled by a babbling creek just 5 minutes from the National Park entrance, it’s the ultimate sustainable getaway. Breathe mountain air from your private deck or relax in rustic, natural-wood interiors. With a rainfall shower and year-round air-conditioning/heat, you’ll enjoy modern comfort that honors the environment. Sway and grow with the trees. Rejuvenate where the forest meets luxury.



The Space:

Perched delicately above the banks of Norton Creek, this unique treehouse was designed to honor its environment, offering an immersive forest experience that treads lightly on the earth. Designed with a rustic cabin feel, The Hemlock 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 cozy queen on the loft via a sturdy wooden 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.



Seclusion + Resort Perks: shared firepits, swings, picnic tables and grills available to resort guests.
