Smoky Mountain Treehouses in Gatlinburg, Sevierville and Townsend
These five Smoky Mountain treehouses sit around Gatlinburg, Sevierville and Townsend, close enough to the national park that the drive to the trailhead is shorter than the debate about which trail. If hiking is on the plan, start with our guide to the best hikes in the Smoky Mountains.
Luxury treehouse built by The Treehouse Guys, Sevierville, Tennessee
Two live trees grow straight up through the main deck, an oak and a hickory, which is the kind of detail that makes you look twice before leaning on anything.
This was the first true treehouse in the Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge area built by The Treehouse Guys from the DIY Network show. The queen bed is up in the loft, the covered hot tub is built for two, and there is an outdoor shower and high-speed internet for anyone who cannot quite switch off.
It sleeps four with the pull-out couch, but couples are who it is made for, and you are minutes from both Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. If you want one treehouse rental in Tennessee with a hot tub, this is the one we would book first.

The Elm in Treehouse Grove, Gatlinburg, Tennessee
The Elm was built by the Treehouse Masters crew, so this is a genuine TV treehouse rather than a cabin with ambitions.
It is tucked into the woods beside a creek, 5 minutes from a Great Smoky Mountains National Park entrance and 15 minutes from Gatlinburg. Inside there are two bedrooms with queen beds, a kitchenette and a rainfall shower, and outside a private deck, a firepit and grills for the evening.
Pets are welcome too, so the dog gets the national park as well. For a pet-friendly Gatlinburg treehouse close to the trails, the Elm is the easy pick.
Sleeps: 4 guests

The Maple in Treehouse Grove, Gatlinburg, Tennessee
The Maple sits above a stream at Treehouse Grove, so the soundtrack to your morning coffee is running water and, with any luck, nothing else.
You get a private treehouse with a bit of resort around it: shared firepits, swings and picnic spots on the grounds, plus your own large deck, a screened-in porch and mountain views. There is a bedroom on the main level and a second upstairs, and the bathroom has a spa-style rainfall shower.
Hiking trails start nearby and pets are welcome. If you are after a romantic treehouse in Gatlinburg with some resort perks thrown in, book the Maple.

The Cedar in Treehouse Grove, Gatlinburg, Tennessee
There is a swing hanging underneath The Cedar, which is exactly as good an idea as it sounds after a day on the trails.
Also at Treehouse Grove, it has a covered, screened-in porch looking over the creek, a kitchenette, a rainfall shower and a queen bed on the main floor. The second queen is up in the loft, reached by a sturdy wooden ladder, so give that one to whoever has the better knees.

Treehouse Rentals Near Chattanooga and Lookout Mountain
Chattanooga is one of the few cities where a treehouse makes sense for a weekend break: you can be at a riverfront restaurant in 15 minutes and back among the trees before dark. These three cover a modern hideaway near downtown, a treehouse beside Ruby Falls and a hot tub by Nickajack Lake.
The Bird House, Chattanooga, Tennessee
The Bird House is two small cabins in the trees joined by a covered porch, so the bedroom and the living space each get their own view and nobody’s snoring travels far.
One side has a king bed, a smart TV and a bathroom, and there is a kitchen with a washer and dryer. Woodland trails wind across more than 30 acres of the property, and two creeks nearby turn into swimming holes after a good rain.
It is 15 minutes from downtown Chattanooga, so dinner out is easy and getting back to the quiet is easier. For a modern treehouse near Chattanooga with trails on the doorstep, this is our pick.

Treehouse Rentals Near Nashville
There is no shortage of places to stay in Nashville, but very few of them come with a swing bridge. These two sit north of the city, 20 to 30 minutes from downtown.
Greenbrier Beechhouse, Greenbrier, Tennessee
A swing bridge connects the two treehouses at Greenbrier Beechhouse, and everyone crosses it more times than is strictly necessary.
The main treehouse has a queen bed, a queen sofa bed and its own bathroom. The guest pod has another queen, a private deck and an outdoor shower. It all sits on 11 private acres, about 20 minutes north of Nashville.
Parties of two get the main treehouse and bigger groups get both, so it works for a couples weekend or a family trip. For a treehouse rental near Nashville, this is the one we would book first.
Sleeps: 6 guests

Stunning Treehouse Mansion, Springfield, Tennessee
To be straight about the name: the Stunning Treehouse Mansion is a three-bedroom house, and the small treehouse is its neighbor, booked as a separate rental.
The house and the treehouse share a deck, with the hot tub beside the treehouse, and groups are asked to book both, which gives a big party the house, the treehouse and the hot tub to themselves. The house sleeps up to 16, with a full kitchen and a washer and dryer.
Springfield is about a 30-minute drive to Nashville, close enough for a night out and far enough for a quiet morning. For a big-group getaway near Nashville with a treehouse attached, book both.
