Great place with everything we needed
This was a great place with everything we needed. Very close to Gatlinburg (just down the mountain a mile or so). Smoky Mountains national park just as close. Owner was absolutely great to work with. She made our stay wonderful. Will definitely stay here in future trips to the smoky mountains.

Dusty's Treehouse
Great experience, very hospitable dwelling, chosen mostly because of one-level (only a few stairs upon entry), everything needed for a getaway! With an aversion to tiny narrow winding roads, the drives there and back (due to location) were disturbing to me, but I would still stay again for all other positives!!

Spring Getaway
My family and I had a great time at Geri's! We spent about a week there and it was the perfect place to come home to after a long day of being in the great outdoors. My husband and I often enjoyed the hot tub while our boys looked for salamanders in the creek that runs through the base of the properties. We did have the pleasure of seeing one small black bear on our first evening. He was running along the road as we were driving in (he kept to himself and so did we). Excellent communication prior to and during our visit, from Geri. Overall a very nice vacation. Would recommend!

Enjoyable stay
My husband and I came for a visit during the thanksgiving holiday. It was a very cozy cabin, loved the large bathtub inside. Loved that there was a hot tub even though we didn’t use it. The cabin felt remote but yet still close to both Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. We would definitely come back again. We also loved that we could bring our dog with us.

Host profile image
I have always loved the Smoky Mountain area & have the fondest memories of when my Daddy would take the whole family there on yearly trips. I can remember dreaming about how great it would be to live in one of those wonderful mountain cabins. It was a dream of mine that stayed with me throughout the years.

Dusty's TreeHouse is my 3rd property in the amazing Smoky Mountains & they all are different & so very special to me. I love taking care of them all, remodeling, redecorating each one, making them all very special, cozy & comfortable home-away-from-homes for my guests & myself & my dogs to enjoy. They are all are pet friendly as I know how important is to take best friends along on vacations. I soon realized that mountain cabins are my passion and I now have more, see them below:

Why they chose this property

This property was a 'must-have' for me. I've been going to the Smoky Mountains for the past 8 years with my best little traveling buddy, Dusty, a Shih-Tzu, along with Bruiser, my big Bearded Collie & later Buddy, my big Great Pyrenees was coming along.

I have had Dusty since he was just a few months old & ever since I bought my first cabin & he has traveled every mile with me there. I have had the name of "Dusty's TreeHouse" in the back of my mind for a cabin/chalet since the beginning. For years, I searched for a property that would fit that name just right. Then I found this one & it could not be a more perfect chalet for the name of Dusty's TreeHouse.

The round designed- chalet has floor-to-ceiling windows all around in every room, it sits high above Ski Mountain Road & is surrounded by beautiful mature trees of the Great Smoky Mountains, making it a perfect Dusty's TreeHouse.

The location is so convenient for visiting Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge & Sevierville for shopping, restaurants, events, activities & sightseeing. They are all close-by & on easy-to-travel roads.

When traveling to Pigeon Forge, take Gatlinburg ByPass to miss all the downtown traffic or take the road that goes through downtown to see all the shops & restaurants & fun places. To go into downtown Gatlinburg, stay on the same road as Dusty's TreeHouse & downtown is 3 miles. Gatlinburg is such a unique romantic town that you will never forget.

Now for the most fun way to go into downtown Gatlinburg, hop on the Aerial Tramway at Ober Gatlinburg, just a 1/2 mile from Dusty's TreeHouse. Park in their parking lot & take the 120-person-glassed-in Aerial Tram. It goes into downtown & returns every 20 minutes, from early to late 7 days a week. Miss all the traffic & parking issues & enjoy the breathtaking birds-eye view of the area.

It is very common to see bears roaming around in the area & often walk right thru Dusty's TreeHouse driveway. They are such fun to watch!.

What makes this property unique

Dusty's TreeHouse is one of the original unique round chalets on Ski Mountain Road in Gatlinburg. It has been totally remodeled & redecorated.

The location of Dusty's TreeHouse is just so great! It is only 3 miles to downtown Gatlinburg & the entrance to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, straight down Ski Mountain Road when pulling out of the driveway to the left. When turning right out of the driveway, you will dead-end into Ober Gatlinburg Ski Restorer in 1/2 mile.

Dusty's TreeHouse is such a quaint & unique mountain chalet with many extra features. You can park multiple vehicles right at the door, just a few steps to walk onto the deck & then into the ONE- LEVEL chalet. There is a gate at the top of the deck steps to keep kids & pets from roaming.

The chalet is round in design & has floor-to-ceiling windows in all rooms for viewing the surrounding magnificent natural scenery. A very roomy & spacious, 1 king bedroom &1 bath that ALSO has a private bonus room w/ wooden trundle bed that sleeps 2 additional people separately or together. There is an air hockey table & games in the bonus room. It is a spacious & comfortable open-floor plan on ONE-LEVEL & does not have a restricted or cramped feeling. Enjoy the private & convenient location of Dusty's TreeHouse.

There is a private relaxing 4-person outdoor hot tub on the back covered patio. A romantic red heart-shaped whirlpool tub is in a separate room just off the king bedroom & leads to hot tub patio.

Easy-to-walk-in-over-sized-ceramic-tile shower-TWO separate shower heads, one is rainfall. King bedroom w/ fully mirrored wall, TV & closet. The living room has TV, CD & DVD players.

Charcoal grill on the patio off front deck & electric floor grill on deck & so many more wonderful features will make you want to return to Dusty's TreeHouse time & time again!

Bears are routinely spotted walking on Ski Mountain Road & frequently walk thru the driveway of Dusty's TreeHouse. They are such fun to watch!
