Treehouse Rentals in the Smoky Mountains

Say goodbye to melting ice, soggy groceries, and runs to restock a bag of ice cubes. Each treehouse now includes a powered, iceless electric cooler — a compact refrigerator/freezer that keeps your food and drinks perfectly chilled using our off‑grid solar energy system.

The cooler plugs directly into the treehouse’s 12V outlet and lets you choose exactly how cold you want things to be. Whether you’re keeping breakfast ingredients safely chilled or cooling down a bottle of wine after a long hike, you can dial in a temperature anywhere from 0°F to 68°F. With room for up to 61 cans, it’s spacious enough for weekend provisions while staying compact and efficient for off‑grid living.

This cooler runs directly on electricity — no internal battery, no ice, no waste — which means consistent cooling powered entirely by the sun. It’s one more way we’re blending comfort, convenience, and sustainability at Smoky Mountain Sky Camp.

Our rain‑collection showers now include an added layer of protection: a low‑voltage ultraviolet (UV) treatment system that uses light to disinfect the water before it reaches your shower. This upgrade allows us to keep offering the uniquely refreshing experience of rain‑sourced water while enhancing the overall safety and quality of the system.

The UV unit sits in the final stage of our multi‑step filtration process, activating only when water is flowing. There are no chemicals involved, no added taste or smell — just clean, clear water treated with light. The system runs on our expanded solar array and fits seamlessly into our off‑grid, low‑impact design.

Guests won’t notice anything different in the feel of the water, but behind the scenes, the UV purifier is doing quiet, steady work. It’s one more way we’re blending comfort, sustainability, and thoughtful engineering to create a safe, elevated shower experience in the treetops.

Every treehouse now features a quiet, efficient 42” ceiling fan designed to keep air moving gently through the space. At our higher elevation, temperatures can shift quickly from warm, sun‑soaked afternoons to crisp mountain nights, and steady airflow helps the treehouses stay comfortable through those natural changes. They also keep the air fresh when you open the windows to the forest and offer a soft white noise that many guests find soothing at bedtime.

Perfectly sized for our treehouse layouts, these fans move air effectively while staying quiet and unobtrusive. And because they’re powered entirely by our expanded solar array, they deliver consistent comfort without compromising our off‑grid, low‑impact mission. Whether cooling off after a hike or enjoying the mountain evening, the new ceiling fans create a calm, comfortable atmosphere that feels right at home in the treetops.

Treehouse #1 sits quietly on a northeastern facing ridge enjoying northern views of Snowbird Mountain and the eastern sunrise over Cherokee National Forest land towards Mt Sterling. The specific site for the treehouse was chosen based on naturally occurring tree cover and minimal construction impact to surrounding vegetation. It's as if the treehouse was placed on the mountainside completely assembled. A private fire ring and chairs are steps away.

The simple design showcases lots of front windows and an open porch to meld the indoors with the transformational qualities of the outdoors. An outdoor kitchenette leaves the treehouse interior free from clutter. A single cabinet houses most everything needed for a glamping trip. The monopitch roof has maximum efficiency in rain-collection for the propane heated, indoor shower. Raindrops on the metal roof will lull you to sleep on ultra plush mattresses. A bunk-style bed arrangement opens up available floor space while still feeling intimate and connected. Every aspect of the treehouse has purpose and functionality. A full list of treehouse supplies and inventory can be seen as a picture/image in the site photo gallery. Every aspect of the treehouse has purpose and functionality.

Treehouse #2 is situated on a west-northwest facing ridge and enjoys close-up valley views and Chestnut Mountain in the distance.

The site for the treehouse was based on the existing valley shape and steepness and proximity to a few large-trunk trees. It's as if the treehouse was plopped onto the mountainside completely assembled. A climb up a staircase reaches the broad open porch and sweeping view of the valley.

Treehouse #3 enjoys great direct sunlight and western views of Mt. Cammerer. You can hear the low hush of Tobes Creek flowing down the mountain in the background during the wet season or after recent rainfall. The specific site was chosen based on an expansive view of the Mt. Cammerer ridge-line and the valley below. While the treehouse looks placed on the steep landscape, the parking area was carefully carved out of the mountain rock.
