Smoky Mountain Perch | Treehouse + Hot Tub

Perched on the quiet side of the Smokies, this custom treehouse-style cabin is a private forest sanctuary — just minutes from the national park, but a world away from the crowds. Spend your days exploring trails, caverns, and scenic drives, then come home to soak in the covered hot tub, play a round on the game deck, or watch the forest change through floor-to-ceiling windows. However the season looks when you visit, The Perch is built for slowing down.

We'd also appreciate the hot tub being covered after use and the cabin door kept securely closed. 🐜 We're tucked deep in the forest, so occasional bugs are part of the setting despite regular pest control — refunds aren't offered for this. 🌐 Wi-Fi is generally reliable, but rare disconnections can happen given our rural location. 💧 Our well water has naturally high iron, which can give the hot tub a rusty tint even when fully treated and safe — a local condition, not a cleanliness issue, so refunds aren't offered for this either. 🐻 Black bears occasionally pass through — please keep food and trash secured in the bear-proof bin at all times. Thanks for helping us care for this peaceful corner of the Smokies! 🌲
