SANCTUARY TREEHOUSE RESORT

We have been fortunate enough to travel to 75 countries around the world and the Sanctuary treehouse resort is one of the most unusual lodging settings that we’ve seen. We congratulate the entrepreneurs on their boldness and executing on such an ambitious design. Our room was terrific. It had an outdoor fireplace that was protected from the rain and was really nicely appointed in a really clever and interesting style. We happened to be there during a period of cold rain so didn’t really maximize all the features, however, with better weather and more people in the other tree houses, the group fire pit and some of the other features would’ve been fun to engage on. Some of the tree houses support five people on two beds and a small cot. It would be ideal for a family with three small kids. Plus, there were really clever features like a slide that went from the top level to the bottom level. And there was ample parking. We had a problem with our heater when we checked in and they jumped all over it and provided us a back up heater, which worked well. I would definitely recommend this to families and to people who want to play the golf course, which is literally about 300 yards from the resort. or to people who want to go to Dollywood, but wanna stay away from all the craziness of pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg.

I recently won a two-night stay at Sanctuary Treehouse Resort and we just returned from our trip (Nov, 2025). What an awesome place! No attention to detail is lost here- the decor is incredible. We stayed in Air Fort One but we walked through the resort area and I don't think you could go wrong with any of the treehouses (they're all different themes). We loved all of the unique touches like the outdoor slide, swing, eating areas, outdoor TV, outdoor fireplace, upper and lower decks, a drink chute (so fun!) and beautiful views of the mountains (you can also choose a cabin that faces the more wooded side if you'd rather). There were fun additions inside, too, including a colorful light machine for the ceiling, spyglass for viewing sights at a distance, scavenger hunt/map, a bunk bed that folds up to create a table space, pull-out bed underneath, and more. Our treehouse was clean, comfortable and had just about everything you could need (utensils, plates/cups, towels, soap, etc). The toilet seat was heated and even lit up (it was actually one of my favorite things here!). Tips: bring food to cook (there's a microwave and outdoor grill, fridge and community grilling area too) or visit the nearby supermarket- you're going to want to eat/grill here because it's so peaceful and cozy. You're close to all local attractions and shopping. It was natural and quiet without being isolated. This place is wonderful for families, groups and couples alike, or those who like "glamping," since it does still have sort of a camping feel to it. The resort has plans to expand and add more treehouses, and I can truly see it becoming even more awesome than it already is. Such a fun and unique experience.

Love, love, love this resort! Hands down the most peaceful and relaxing place I could’ve stayed. These treehouses are awesome! I had an extremely peaceful 3 nights and 4 adventurous days which isn’t hard with all the creative interactive parts of the treehouse! From a 20ft slide! (Fun for all ages!) to a drink shoot from the inside to the downstairs patio, over to the wheel turning roll out queen size bed, then you can take it down the escape hatch to the bottom patio where you’ll find swings, tv and an outdoor table! Don’t even get me started on the beautiful walking trails! Get the adventure started with a super clever scavenger hunt with bad to the bone statues and absolutely hilarious signs to find throughout. There are even treasures for all ages you’ll find at the end! The treehouse features an outdoor fireplace that just sparks the magic on those chilly nights and turns them into warm peaceful memories. This resort is a community, not just somewhere to stay but somewhere to get away from it all and just enjoy yourself. There’s even a community outdoor kitchen and fireplace with corn hole! Where everyone can meet and just hangout. I stayed mostly by myself and sitting around just listening to all the excitement in the families as they arrived was magical! Kids spending an hour outside before even entering the treehouse! And something for everyone to enjoy in their own special way! Absolutely incredible! The team there is just awesome and the resort is extremely unique. So, what are you waiting for? The adventure is out there! Be one with the trees and book one (of these) incredible treehouses today! I promise you won’t regret it!

We really enjoyed staying at the Sanctuary Treehouse Resort. The treehouse is very well designed and the location is scenic. There are bunk beds for the kids or a large pullout bed underneath the main bed. My daughter loved the slide and swings. Just be sure to check for sap and wipe the slide down before using as we realized that after my daughters clothes got sticky the first time she used it...lol. There were also little reading lights on either side of the bed which was neat! We had an issue one day with our TV and by the time we got back from our day out it had been fixed. Great and friendly service! We will definitely stay here again sometime!

My family (myself, my husband and 3 daughters aged 12,12, and 10, and our dog) stayed in 19th hole this past weekend and let me just say, this resort blew us away! The attention to detail in both decor and amenities is unmatched. You can tell that the owners have thought through everything their guests could possibly need or desire throughout their stay. The welcome book has a ton of information about the area that was well organized and fun to read. The kitchenette is well stocked so you could cook in the treehouse if you wanted or you can use the outdoor kitchen area which is equally clean and well stocked. Every inch of the interior has been efficiently utilized, to have 5 people and a dog in one room and still feel like we had plenty of space was amazing! We loved the sitting area underneath the treehouse where my husband watched football while my kids took turns climbing up the ladder and sliding back down, playing with the bucket pulley, and the drink chute. There is also a personal fire place on the upper porch which is the perfect place for sipping coffee or reading a book with a view of the mountains! My family’s most raved about detail in the treehouse, however, was the heated toilet seat! 😂 An amenity we never even knew we needed! We also loved the scavenger hunt/walking path! It was fun and the signs made us giggle but I also enjoyed the views of the mountains, golf course and beautiful wooded area as well! They even thought to supply flashlights and compasses with the maps which our kids thought was so cool, they loved doing the scavenger hunt in the dark! It was so easy to stay with our dog as well! They had extra crates if we hadn’t brought one and poop bags and disposal in the little dog park area. I think the biggest advantage of this resort is the location! It’s tucked away so that it’s out of the chaos of town but close enough that you can go spend the day at Dollywood and not have to spend 40 minutes in the car driving up the side of a mountain to get home at night. It’s the perfect mix of camping vibes and luxury. My kids are already begging to go back!

Our family stayed at Sanctuary Treehouse Resort during my mom’s funeral, and it was exactly what we needed in such a hard time. There were 12 of us, and the treehouse had plenty of room for everyone to gather together while still having space to relax. The kids loved all the fun little areas designed for play, which brought some much-needed smiles. The setting was peaceful and comforting, and the thoughtful touches throughout made us feel right at home. It gave us a place to grieve, remember, and also create a few special moments of joy as a family. We are so thankful for this one-of-a-kind resort and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for both comfort and a memorable experience.

I searched high and low for a family friendly and convenient spot to stay near the Smokies. Many places looked interesting, but they were far from activities, or dated, or really really expensive. When I found Sanctuary Treehouse, I thought it might be too good to be true. The location is fantastic, the treehouse theme looked fun, and the price was right. I booked it and immediately wondered if it was all an Insta-place; would it look good on screen but be rough in person? When we pulled up, I was ready to be disappointed. Imagine my delight when the treehouse wasn’t just as good as pictured but actually better! Every detail was delightful - practical for the adults and whimsical for everyone. The kids had an absolute blast in the room and around the resort, and everyone relaxed. All four of us want to return again. Thank you for such a beautiful and fun experience!

Everything about this place is outstanding. Our main attraction of this wonderful treehouse was the breathtaking views of the Smoky mountains. The community fireplace was very helpful in cookouts and in community events like state golf tournaments. we’ve been coming to this place for probably two or three years now and it keeps getting better each year. We love the style and it makes us feel like we are in a cabin deep in the woods. And with the amazing view of the golf course, we can see players stripe the ball and sink putts. The hiking trail was also amazing. There is a beautiful view from the top of the hill that looks over all of the Smokies and Sevierville. we will definitely be coming back here soon thank you so much for this amazing place!

This place is great. From the location to the construction and design choices. Well appointed for a couple or family. we loved our stay and will definitely stay there again.
