✨ Chasing Fireflies, the inaugural treehouse crafted at the resort! ✨
Every year, the Great Smoky Mountains witness a breathtaking spectacle as thousands of synchronous fireflies illuminate the forest floor, creating a captivating display that leaves spectators in awe. This extraordinary phenomenon occurs in only two locations worldwide, once a year, and the Smokies are fortunate to be one of them.
In honor of this mesmerizing showcase of fireflies, we proudly present Chasing Fireflies, our premier treehouse adorned with a captivating watercolor painting by Ava, the Jensen family's talented local artist and daughter. The artwork splendidly captures the enchanting ambiance of a firefly light show, becoming the centerpiece of Chasing Fireflies' decor.
This treehouse seamlessly combines luxury and comfort, harmonizing modern design with the rustic Tennessee aesthetic and a touch of nostalgia. Every meticulous detail has been thoughtfully considered to ensure that you experience the distinctive charm of Chasing Fireflies.
Join us for an elevated and tranquil vacation at the world's first interactive treehouse resort, exclusively nestled in the Smoky Mountains of East Tennessee! Secure your reservation for Chasing Fireflies and embark on your next unforgettable adventure!

A great alternative to a hotel. Kept my three children entertained in-between events we had planned. The kids won't stop talking about the treehouse they stayed in. The attention to detail and adult humor were great. The treehouse provided so many little things that we didn't need to bring such as the crib for the baby and night light that projected on the ceiling for the children. The outdoor areas had everything you could think of and was very relaxing. The location is absolutely perfect. Everything we planned to do and anything we needed was no more than 15 minutes away. We are looking forward to making this an annual trip.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We are delighted to hear that you and your family enjoyed your treehouse and the resort. We look forward to being your retreat in the Smoky Mountains each year! We appreciated the opportunity to host you. Kind regards, The Sanctuary Treehouse Resort Team🌳

We had the most beautiful, peaceful, and relaxing vacation in the sanctuary treehouse resort! The rooms are so thoughtfully and uniquely designed, the decor was an experience in and of itself! We really enjoyed the beautiful outdoor spaces, the fireplace and outdoor daybed added so much! Our room had luxurious touches that made us feel pampered, such as the towel warmer and smart toilet. the resort is located in a perfect area, close by to many popular attractions, saving us a lot of driving time. I found the Sanctuary Treehouse Resort’s website very helpful when planning our itinerary, and we enjoyed the discounts to attractions in the area. I definitely hope to be back!
We truly appreciate your kind words and can’t wait to welcome you back for another unforgettable stay! Best regards, The Sanctuary Treehouse Resort Team 🌲🏡✨

This was an awesome experience....Experience is what you get here! Not only that but also luxuries! A really cool place and we will definitely be going back. Loved the deck side fireplace! Loved the slide and all the cool gadgets inside. The heated toilet seat was a first for us....that was cool! Five Star...oh and thanks for the extra Birthday gift for my buddy. That was a great gift...I mean usually resort gifts are pretty cheap but that was some nice stuff!
Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We’re thrilled to hear that you had an awesome experience and enjoyed all the unique features and luxuries our resort offers. The deck side fireplace, slide, and cool gadgets are always a hit, and we’re glad you appreciated them. We’re also delighted to hear that the birthday gift for your buddy made such a positive impression. With all the fish you caught and some time with friends, I'm guessing it was a birthday he will remember! Your kind words mean a lot to us, and we can't wait to welcome you back for another five-star stay! We are honored that you chose Sanctuary Treehouse Resort to celebrate such a big moment! Best regards, The Sanctuary Treehouse Resort Team 🌲🏡✨

Excellent place to stay. Minimal distance from downtown Sevierville but you feel like you’re very much removed from traffic. Treehouse we stayed in was perfect and staff was super helpful.
Thank you very much for your kind review Phil. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your treehouse and your visit to the Smoky Mountains. We look forward to hosting you again! Kind regards, The team at Sanctuary Treehouse Resort.

We just stayed at chasing fireflies and I can’t say enough wonderful things about this place. My boys said it was the best place we’ve ever stayed and the attention to detail is unmatched. Can’t wait to go back and see how the resort grows. Great place for a family adventure.
Thank you so much for your glowing review! We are thrilled to hear that you and your boys had such a fantastic time at Chasing Fireflies.

We went for a few days to see the synchronistic fireflies in the Great Smokeys National Park and chose to stay here with our two grandsons (10 and 12 years old). We loved everything about this place. It's very well equipped, comfortable and the locations was great. We will be recommending it to friends for sure.
We are so happy you chose to bring your family here! Thank you for sharing your experience here with others! We look forward to the chance to host you again in the future. Kind regards❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

My family and I visited The Sanctuary for Spring Break. We stayed in the Chasing Fireflies house. Our stay was absolutely incredible. This experience was so unique and perfect that we did not want to leave. The room was supremely cleaned and so cozy. Our children loved the slide and porch swings. We had plenty of room and so many amenities. Not to mention how beautiful everything was. The attention to detail was superb. Also, the staff was so kind and helpful. When we were leaving I wanted a cup like the ones provided to use in the room. My husband called the office and they let us buy one. The lady working that day brought a new one to our room and a sweet gift for our boys. The owners were doing a meet and greet but it rained us out and we unfortunately had to miss it the next night because we were checked out. But, we are already looking at booking our stay for Summer. If you stay at Chasing Fireflies, just be careful when backing out (especially in large vehicles) as it is a super tight fit.
It brings us immense joy to know that your family thoroughly enjoyed our accommodations' unique charm and coziness. We take great pride in maintaining a high standard of cleanliness and comfort to ensure our guests feel right at home. The fact that your children loved the slide and porch swings warms our hearts, as creating memorable experiences for families is one of our top priorities. We greatly appreciate your kind words regarding our attentive staff. It's wonderful to hear that they could assist you promptly and even went the extra mile to ensure you had a memorable souvenir to take home. We've noted your feedback regarding the tight fit for larger vehicles, and we'll certainly look into ways to improve this aspect for the convenience of our guests. We're honored that you're already considering booking another summer stay with us. Rest assured, we'll do everything we can to make your next visit just as magical as this one, rain or shine. We hope to welcome your family back to The Sanctuary soon for another unforgettable experience.

We have stayed in many hotels around the Pigeon Forge area and the Sanctuary Treehouse Resort is the best by far! The kids had a blast on the slides, swings and just hanging out in the treehouse! I would highly recommend this place for anyone. We will definitely be back!
Hi Heather! We appreciate the kind review you shared here with others and were incredibly honored to be your favorite staying accommodation in the Smokies. 🤗 We look forward to hosting you again in the future! Until then, keep up the adventures!

We just returned home from a weekend trip! We stayed in Chasing Fireflies and had the best time! I cannot say enough positive things about our experience from the first interactions while booking to the end of our stay. The treehouse was perfect! It was clean and the details were quite impressive. Our children enjoyed the many interactive features and we had to pry them off the slide when it was time to check out. We will definitely be returning very soon to stay! Thank you for an experience we will remember.
We are so happy you all could get here and are sad Mother Nature cut your visit short! ❄️ The best news is you get to come back again! We look forward to hosting you all and truly appreciate you sharing your experience with others here. Warm regards to you and your sweet family. See you again soon!

My wife and i had a wonderful stay at 'Chasing Fireflies'. So many fun and whimsical features everywhere you looked - like staying in your own personal Swiss Family Robinson treehouse! Comfortable, high-quality, and fun - so different from a hotel room experience in the best way. Easy drive to all local sites.

This place is awesome. The bed is super comfy, fire place on the deck is awesome. They really thought about all the little details to make this place great.
These are wonderful pictures, Michael! We were truly excited to host you for your special moment and honored to be a part of your story. We hope to see you all again at Sanctuary Treehouse Resort! Best wishes and CONGRATULATIONS!

We stayed two nights in Chasing Fireflies (#49) October 19-21, 2023. Everything was fabulous. We enjoyed the quiet and serenity of sitting on the porch and watching the wood fire one evening. Amanda even sent us a beautiful gift to help us celebrate our anniversary. This place is perfect.
Thank you for sharing your experience here at Sanctuary Treehouse Resort. We were so happy that you chose our resort to celebrate your momentous occasion and hope that you will come back and see us again in the future. Cheers to many more years of celebrating your love and friendship! (And-let's hope the VOLS get better this season! 🤗 )

Super fun and different way to stay overnight Lots of special amenities! Great for kids...escape hatch with ladder....big slide from top floor to bottom. Bed that folds up to be a table. Heated toilet seat! Outdoor easy fireplace on top outdoor porch/floor. Adult and child swings on bottom level. TV/Roku inside top floor...and also downstairs/outdoor level. Super clean. Two Nice robes. Full kitchen with simple snacks and keurig coffee. Sweet gift of s'mores fixings for the fireplace. We really enjoyed the 2night stay ... as an adult couple. Would be even better with kids

This is my second stay at Sanctuary Treehouse Resort and I am already planning to go back again soon!!! My first stay was in the Tarzan and Jane double treehouse with my daughter, son in law and three grandsons. It was the perfect destination for our family vacation and lots of memories made. This week I came back with my two best friends for a birthday celebration! We stayed in the Chasing Fireflies Treehouse. The attention to detail and engineering extra’s ( a drink chute, a 20 foot slide, the bunk-bed turn bar top for additional eating space and heated toilet seat) were enjoyed by us (adults) as much as they were with my grandsons! The outdoor space (downstairs) was the perfect place to swing, catch up, eat meals, celebrate a birthday and relax. The outdoor area upstairs was great to walk out and drink our morning coffee and and enjoy the wooded view while we planned our day out. The thought and heart that have gone into creating each individual Treehouse is unmatched by any other resort I have visited. The Jensen family’s vision and masterplan for Sanctuary Treehouse Resort is truly unique, and a place for families, friends and couples to make memories for generations to come.

We had an amazing time at the fireflies treehouse! So many interactive features, decor was beyond perfect and the hosts are so welcoming! Our Grandson loved the slide and escape hatch and sitting by fire 🔥 roasting marshmallows. The discount cards for surrounding attractions were a great touch! Can’t say enough great things about this treehouse resort, we will definitely be back!
Thank you so much for your review Carla! We appreciate your feedback and sharing it with others. We hope that you will come back to see us again real soon!
Rebecca H.
We absolutely loved our stay! We spent at least half an hour checking out our treehouse along with the property before unloading the car. The attention to detail from the decor to the “fun” aspects of the treehouse was phenomenal. My kids had a blast and my husband and I were able to relax and recharge. Will be recommending you guys to our family and friends. We for sure will be making future trips just so we can come back to Sanctuary Treehouse Resort.

I purchased this as a family Christmas present and what a wonderful time it was. I brought my two sons and their families and we had a wonderful weekend. Sanctuary did not disappoint they thought of all a travelers needs and so many wonderful details for the littles. My grandkiddos were so excited to explore and find the trap door , the drink shoot, slide and all the cools swings. We grilled dinner one night and breakfast and sat around the fire pit and just got caught up on all that is going on with my family. I totally will book again and would highly recommend the Sanctuary Treehouse Resort. What a great family time!!
Kristi W.
Above and beyond!! They have thought of absolutely everything! I can’t say enough great things about this place. Our little family of three had an amazing time. The escape ladder was my daughters favorite and we loved watching her play for hours between that and the slide. My husband and I loved all the amenities outside as well. We will definitely go back in the future!
Thank you so much for choosing Sanctuary Treehouse Resort for your families vacation! We are so happy to hear that you all had a great time and enjoyed the resort! Stay in touch and come back soon as there are more surprises in store as we grow!

Thank you so much for your kind words and review! We hope that we will see you all again real soon!

Amazing stay in “Chasing Fireflies” Treehouse Awesome doesn’t do this place justice… This was one of the most amazing places we have stayed! We stayed in the “Chasing Fireflies “ themed treehouse and every detail was executed to perfection! Super clean and neat on arrival with beautifully appointed decor, fireplaces inside and out, a keurig coffee pot with well stocked coffee bar and snacks. The outdoor fireplace had all the wood we needed along with matches and fire starter blocks, our 7 yr old grandson thought the heated toilet seat was pretty cool… the beds were comfy….the treehouse slide, trap door, hidden bed, and drink chute were a big hit! The lower deck swings were also a big hit with our grandson. There literally was nothing that wasn’t thought thru with details and amenities…. We were greeted shortly after arriving by hosts Amanda & Brian and they could not have been more friendly! This is definitely an experience we will remember and look forward to coming back! The pictures do not do justice, you need to experience a treehouse stay for yourself! Highly recommend , 10/10
Thank you very much for sharing your experience here at Sanctuary Treehouse Resort! It was a pleasure meeting you all and we hope that you will come back and see us again! We are growing with more surprises in store!

Very excited to stay at this brand new resort during their inaugural year! Booking online was so easy, any questions we have asked have been answered promptly and we love seeing progress and glimpses of “our” treehouse (we chose Chasing Fireflies when we booked) as the developers post photos and videos! Looking forward to creating new traditions in our new favorite place to stay in the Smokies!
