Summary:
Let the sound of Norton Creek be the soundtrack to your getaway. Hidden among the trees, this secluded 2-bed, 1-bath sanctuary exudes romance. Wake up in a plush queen bed to forest views, spend your afternoon in Gatlinburg or explore the National Park - just five minutes away - and return to share a glass of wine by the firepit. With its warm wood interiors, spa-inspired rainfall shower, and the gentle rush of the stream below, this is a hidden world designed for reconnection & quality time.
The Space:
Disconnect to reconnect. Designed with a rustic cabin feel, The Willow 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. Step from your deck to the banks of Norton Creek, a premier spot for fly fishing on the resort grounds.
Enjoy the seclusion of your private treehouse with the perks of the exclusive resort - shared firepits, swings, picnic tables and grills available to resort guests.
