If you’re looking for a beautiful getaway outside of the hustle and bustle of the city, then it just might be time to book a cabin in the woods. Norton Creek Resort is located in the heart of Tennessee’s lush, wild natural world, and remains one of the most unique and beautiful places to stay. Learn all about this unique experiences below, and perhaps book a night at this secluded treehouse resort – yes, you read that right, treehouse resort – below.
The resort itself is both family-owned and operated by the Ayres family, a 4th and 5th generation Knoxville family with a deep love for the area. The team of developers that the Ayres family worked with chose the best and most beautiful trees for building, and both the location and design were highly emphasized and considered.
Now you'll find aesthetically pleasing structures tucked high in the trees that boast high-end fixtures, beautiful, open windows, and a high-minded knack for design. Each treehouse is outfitted with internet, and children are welcome to stay with their parents.
Pete Nelson of the famed television show, "Treehouse Masters" on Animal Planet, was the mastermind behind the Norton Creek Resort design. Eight unique luxury treehouses were created under his watchful and inspired eye, and are now managed by the equally determined and passionate Ayres family.
There are eight treehouses in total and each of them is named after a type of tree. You can choose to book the Hemlock or the Magnolia, the Poplar, or the Willow. Each one is uniquely outfitted and designed to herald a wonderful vacation.
You can spend time on the expansive decks, or you can take advantage of the Norton Creek Resort's easy access to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. You're just a stone's throw away from the fun in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, so it all just depends on the experience you're looking to have in the Tennessee mountains.
