An Ayres family passion-project that came to life – Built and designed by Pete Nelson from “Treehouse Masters.” 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. - We do not allow RVs, campers or trailers on-site - Please be aware that due to potential freezing temperatures in January and February, there's a risk of frozen water pipes. - Please take note that bears are in the area. We do provide bear safety tips upon arrival. - As Of September 22, 2025, Sevier County Fire adjusted their laws so that we are no longer able to have private firepits on the decks of each treehouse, only community firepits steps away from your treehouse.
