We had the most incredible stay at The Sanctuary Treehouse. From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The owners went above and beyond to make our visit special by setting up surprise birthday decorations, which was such a thoughtful and unforgettable touch. The treehouse itself is absolutely beautiful and stocked with every amenity you could possibly need. You can truly tell how much care and attention has gone into every detail of the space. The location is perfect, peaceful, private, and surrounded by breathtaking scenery that makes it easy to relax and unwind. The hospitality from the owners was exceptional and made us feel so welcome. If you’re looking for a unique getaway with stunning views and amazing host, The Sanctuary Treehouse is a place to be. We can’t wait to come back soon.

Sanctuary Treehouse Resort was absolutely amazing. My 10 year old daughter and I stayed there while at her cheer competition for the weekend. She had planned to do many things around the area when she wasn't cheering but upon seeing our treehouse, she wanted to spend all her free time enjoying the tranquilty the treehouse brought. We relaxed swinging on the outdoor bed, going down the slide, and following the enchanted trail. This was truly an experience and we will definitely return!

We were looking for a unique stay for our 10 yr old daughter and our 13 yr old son for Christmas and let me tell you, this delivered!! We arrived on Christmas Day afternoon and there was a beautiful Christmas tree in our treehouse all lit up. That was so pretty to arrive to along with the beautiful decorations on the property. We did the scavenger hunt before dark and that was the perfect way to start our vacation! Each morning I enjoyed my coffee on the porch and each evening we enjoyed coming “home” to the treehouse. It truly did feel like a home away from home! There was plenty of room for our kids and my husband and me! We loved making s’mores in the fireplace on our porch, watching tv downstairs while on the swings, discovering the fun things like the trap door, slide, drink chute, bucket pulley, and the heated toilet seat (never knew how much we needed one of those until now! ). We did so many fun things while we were there like Dollywood, mini golf, zip lining, shopping, escape room, mountain coaster, exploring and the one thing the kids asked to do every day? Go back to the treehouse! they loved just hanging out there and we loved learning new card games all together each night in the super comfortable beds. We appreciated all of the extra details, amenities, and thought the owners put into the treehouse, and also how quickly and kind responses were if we needed anything (they even came and delivered things we needed on Christmas Day night!). We made so many memories and enjoyed every single second and can’t wait to come back!!

This past weekend, I had the absolute pleasure of hosting a social media meetup at Sanctuary Treehouse Resort — and let me tell you, "pleasure" doesn't even scratch the surface. When you combine your favorite online community with stunning treehouse accommodations and an experience that feels straight out of a dream, you get a weekend that nobody is talking about enough yet. But they will be. From the moment we arrived, the energy was electric. The kind of place where you walk in and immediately feel the stress of everyday life dissolve into the canopy above you. Our group was instantly at home — laughing, exploring, and soaking in every inch of this gorgeous retreat.

We spent a wonderful weekend at the Treehouse Sanctuary with our granddaughters, and it was truly a memorable experience—even though it rained the entire time! Rain or shine, there was so much for the girls to enjoy. The scavenger hunt was a huge hit. Visiting all 10 exciting picture spots was great fun, and we loved taking photos together at each stop. The aliens, the dinosaur, and especially Bigfoot were favorites, and the treasures at the end made the whole adventure extra special. The treehouse itself was amazing. The girls enjoyed the bunk beds and raising and lowering the lower bed to turn it into a table, as well as going down the slide. In fact, because it was wet, the slide went really, really fast—which only made it more fun and memorable! The covered area below the treehouse was also a big plus since it was out of the rain, with swings and easy access to the ladder up to the slide. They also loved the swing outside the treehouse and the bucket on a pulley, using it to lower and raise things up and down like true adventurers. We also enjoyed visiting a nearby trampoline park, which rounded out a fantastic weekend. Despite the rainy weather, the Treehouse Sanctuary provided nonstop fun, creativity, and adventure. Overall, the girls would absolutely give this place a five-star review, and we wholeheartedly agree. We’re already talking about coming back—hopefully next time with sunshine, but even the rain couldn’t dampen the magic of this place!

We stayed in the Honey Hole cabin and it was such a nice stay. Everything was super clean when we got in, there were detailed notes for how to get in contact should we need anything, and they had the room accent lights on for us-it was like walking into a fairytale. We did find a few ladybugs in the room, but think it must be due to the time of the year. We also did the scavenger hunt one night, and it was a lot of fun, but the hills got us bc we are way outta shape. So much fun though! Kids would have a blast doing it.

Absolutely amazing stay at Sanctuary Treehouse Resort! From the moment we arrived, the attention to detail was incredible—right down to the heated toilets, which were such a thoughtful and luxurious touch. The treehouse was spacious, beautifully designed, and extremely comfortable, blending luxury with nature perfectly. We stayed in the “Land of the Free, Home of the Brave” double treehouse, and it exceeded all expectations. The craftsmanship and design were stunning, and features like the pulley systems for room rearrangement made the space both fun and functional. The slides were a great addition and added an extra element of excitement for both kids and adults. The scavenger hunt was another fun and memorable experience. The staff were kind, attentive, and available for anything we needed, which made our stay even better. This resort is the perfect vacation spot for couples and families looking to reconnect with nature and with each other without sacrificing comfort or luxury. The treehouses are truly unique, and thoughtfully designed with a specific theme. We’re excited for the continual expansion of the resort and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend Sanctuary Treehouse Resort!
