The space
The property is remote and protected from the noise and lights of the city. Located on the quiet, north side of GSMNP, the treehouse is about 2 miles from the Big Creek entrance to the Park and less than a mile from the Appalachian Trail at Davenport Gap.

Bring your belongings, ice cooler of food, and adventure gear. We provide most cooking essentials, dish-ware, bedding, towels, soap, and toilet paper. The kitchenette has potable water and hand basin, two-burner propane stove on the concrete countertop, separate propane grill, and dining for four. There is a coffee percolator, which doubles as a kettle, and brews your own ground coffee. There is NO refrigerator, bring your cooler and ice. For a comprehensive list of all supplies provided at the treehouse, look for the "Cabinet Contents" picture from our Photo Gallery.

The space is pet-friendly with a $10 per stay Puppy Pass. One fee/pass covers all dogs for all nights. Please pick up after pets!

Onsite hiking trails from the treehouse have been cleared for 2025. The short footpaths are new, not heavily beaten in yet (will happen with time) and connect with two individual quarter-mile loop trails and an old mountaintop cemetery summit. Attention: these are steep paths (leg workout!)

Guest access
You will Self Check-in at the property. A few days before your stay dates, please check your Messages Inbox (Airbnb App.) You will be sent a numeric code for the house lock and be provided with **detailed instructions and directions** — this is a rural area. Mobile phone reception is spotty en route but there is cellular service at the property once you arrive.

Other things to note
The gravel driveway leads out and back, with limited turnaround space. Parking area can creatively hold two typical vehicles. No RVs, Campers or vehicles with trailers.
A dilapidated cabin from the driveway is owned by a neighbor and vacant. However, he uses the driveway on occasion to reach his real house, which is down the mountain and out of direct sight. You might see him with his 2 dogs, Jack and Jill.

New for 2025: Each treehouse has a new trail only steps away and connects to additional quarter-mile loop-style paths. Our property is steep & heavily wooded resulting in short hikes with portions of moderate-to-hard difficulty rating (leg workout!) All treehouses can reach the summit which reveals a local family cemetery at the top. Each of the two loop-style paths traverse a side of our mountain ridge (east or west face.)
All trails are accessible to all property guests. To prevent visitors to your private treehouse site by other vacationing guests, there are posted warning signs at points that prohibit passage any further towards a specific treehouse. Privacy and quiet sanctuary is cherished on our property.
