Great Place to Stay - Close to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge

The house was close to downtown Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and hiking. The amenities and pools were nice and the pools were very close to the house. There were a couple of instances where bears came onto the property and had cubs with them. They played around by the jungle gym and it was very neat for us all to watch!

Family vacation

Overall, the property is a nice place to stay and is very close to all the Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge amenities. The only downside is there is no bathroom on the 2nd floor where the master bedroom is located. The community has a couple community pools and community amenities.

Bears Galore!

The listing stated Bears Galore! and it was not wrong. Bears at the cabin including mama and 3 cubs. The cabin itself was excellent, with plenty of space for us. And it was located a short drive from many family-friendly activities. We had no issues or problems with the cabin during our stay. We will certainly put this cabin on our list to re-visit Thank you for having us.

Nice cabin minutes from Gatlinburg and Smokies

This was the perfect cabin for a family of 5 traveling to the Smokey Mountains. It was clean and spacious. On our one rainy day we had a great time staying indoors and playing pool, watching TV and using the (electric) fireplace. Warm, cozy and inviting. Location is great, not in the hustle-bustle of town but 5 min to the Gatlinburg trolley and 4 min to the convenience store. We had one snafu: the refrigerator broke on day 2. The manager was super responsive, getting a new mini fridge delivered the next day and reimbursing us for spoiled food. We cooked every day so this was very important to us and it worked out well.

Lovely Spring break trip

Great to be away from the downtown Pigeon forge and Gatlinburg chaos but not too far either. Easy access to National park, and had we planned our drive better would have liked to stay longer. Youngest loved the play areas, I loved the covered porch (it was raining when we arrived), overall a nice place.

Great cabin and location!

The cabin was wonderful and the location ideal. The kitchen was perfect for our group and we loved hanging out downstairs. But the best part was the bear that walked casually across the property (and barely seemed to notice us). Super cool experience!!

About the host

Hosted by Mustard Seed Mountain LLC

Host profile image
Several years ago I visited Tennessee for the first time while on a business trip and when I left it felt like I was leaving home. The following summer my family and I visited Gatlinburg and fell in love with the Smoky Mountains. We fell in love with Treehouse Lodge and the story behind it. I am honored to host you at Treehouse Lodge and I hope you will love the handcrafted charm as much as I do!

Why they chose this property

The location of this property is FANTASTIC! Located within the national park, the cabin sits in a bit of a valley and is close to everything the area has to offer, just 8 mins to downtown Gatlinburg, close to tons of hiking trails/outdoor activites and only about 15 mins to Pigeon Forge!

What makes this property unique

Treehouse Lodge has an amazing and inspiring story. The original cabin was lost in the Gatlinburg fires of 2016. The family that lived there at the time completely rebuilt this cabin from the ground up, lovingly adding hand crafted details such as real log steps, hand made cabinets, etc. You can read the full story in the guest book at the cabin.
