053 – AIR FORT ONE

This place is amazing! We felt like the Swiss Family Robinson! The kids absolutely loved all the little "secret finds" like the trap doors and soda chutes and slides. There is so much attention to detail. It is a tree house yet also a luxury hotel room. The staff is very helpful and kind. The amenities are top notch. The rooms are well decorated. We had such fun! We will definitely be back!

We just left this morning and I feel like we are all so sad. We got a notice that we could book a gap day at a discount and we already have another accommodation booked but I was tempted to pay for both just to get to stay longer ❤️ I don't even know where to start. The theming was so thoughtful and really made the ambiance of the place that much better. My kids (3 and 7) were in absolute heaven - the trap door, the bunk beds, the can shoot, bucket pulley, slide, rope swing and the swing chairs below deck - all such hits and so amazing to see their joy as they experienced it all. I wish you all sold tshirts - we want to promote the heck out of this place back home in Michigan! The place was also SPOTLESS and so comfortable! We can't wait to see the plans for growth come to fruition in the next years - we will be back - I had to promise the kids ❤️. Thank you for your part in making our family trip so memorable!!

Sanctuary Treehouse Resort was such a nice change of pace from the traditional hotel style of travel lodging. The kids absolutely loved it; in fact, this is the first trip I can ever remember my kids asking to go back to the room early rather than staying out doing things in town. It is very secluded & quiet which makes for a very peaceful stay. Although the space is small (it IS a treehouse), I was very pleased with the excellent use of space by the design team. Even for a group of 4, it didn't feel cramped at all and we easily could've fit another on the pull out bed without even sacrificing space. There are too many features to list, but a few of the noteworthy ones are the wood burning fireplace and gas grill on the very spacious outdoor deck (several outdoor seats as well), the lower deck beneath the treehouse was quote nice with its many swings for sitting, flat screen TV, dimmable string lights, and a drink chute from the kitchenette above. I can't wait to see the future developments at this resort as it is still in its earlier stages and I understand there is much more to come as they build out their wooden hill top property. Great job Sanctuary Treehouse Resort, this one is a hit!

We feel so blessed to have found Sanctuary Treehouse Resort for our first vacation to the Smoky Mountains! We appreciated it being off the beaten path but close enough to all of the popular attractions that we didn't spend a lot of time getting places. The treehouse itself had so many fun amenities, our kids were asking each day when we were at attractions "when can we go back to the treehouse"! The adults appreciated the peacefulness and relaxing atmosphere as well as the ease of check-in and check-out and the awesome service before and during our stay! We will definitely be back!

It was such a wonderful experience and everything was perfect. The Jensen family are incredible hosts with an equally incredible vision. The treehouse was beyond anything we could’ve imagined. It was roomy, comfortable and fun. It was a treat for our entire family and we hated to leave. From the view to the little details and thought put into the decoration of the treehouse, it exceeded our expectations. Give them a visit and let your inner child relive old memories of your youth.

We celebrated my daughter's birthday in Air Fort One and it was absolutely amazing. The treehouse was one of the cleanest places I have ever seen in the Smokies. The treehouse felt homey and provided the perfect place to sit around the fire on the deck, grill burgers and spend time with family. 10 out of 10 would recommend. The beds were comfortable, the pillows were fluffy, and the heated toilet seat was great on these cold winter nights.

This very creative, super fun & whimsical resort was truly a breath of fresh air. We surprised our 2 (impossible-to-please) teenagers, and we all adored it so much. We cannot wait to visit again! I read all about it before we came, but it still left us in awe. Adventurous, quirky, fun, while somehow luxurious…the best kind of resort in my humble opinion. Believe me, you won’t want to leave your treehouse! (But there’s also a lot to do in the area, so force yourselves:) lol

By Far the best place to stay at if you want cleanliness, great staff, and to feel as welcome as possible. Looking forward to coming back as soon as i can.

Relax and refresh You don’t get any better than a luxury treehouse. The owners didn’t leave anything out! From the hideaway bed to the drink chute… to swinging beds and outdoor fireplaces. It feels like a getaway, but still convenient to get to town. This is the place to relax and refresh!

Fun stay in a treehouse! We had a wonderful stay in the treehouse! Our kids loved the hidden ladder, huge slide, and the swings on the lower porch. All the little decorator's touches made the room very cozy and welcoming. We are looking forward to returning!

Spacious and Memorable Accommodations Very well done treehouse inspired two story cabin. The cabin was spacious enough that our family of four never felt crowded. We loved the lower level outdoor patio with fun seating options, a table for eating / games and a tv. We would go down immediately to hang there as we woke up. The outdoor area on the second floor had even better views, an outdoor fire for s’mores, a slide downstairs and escape hatch. The interior had beautiful decor. We especially enjoyed the star projector and heater toilet seat. All of the beds were very comfortable. The staff was responsive and courteous. The kids have already asked when we can return.

Great experience can't wait to go back. Our family of 6 stayed in Air Fort One. There was room for more. All of the details that went into the theme were perfect. The staff is extremely friendly and accommodating. We can't wait to come back and check out the other sites. Close to everything but far enough away to relax.

Magical and more If you’re looking for a fun, unique, relaxing, romantic, adventurous or unforgettable experience, this is your place. The surroundings of incredible mountain views are what you come for and do not disappoint. But the treehouse experience is one that will make you want to never leave. It’s evident that this family has put more than world class craftsmanship into each unique themed treehouse of whimsy. They collaboratively created warm, welcoming and luxury accommodations for all travelers visiting the Smokey Mountains. No one can be less than enchanted staying at the Sanctuary

Birthday Celebration My husband and I spent 3 nights in" Air Fort One "to celebrate my 69th birthday and we truly had a wonderful time. We met Brian, the owner, when we arrived and he told us to let him know if we needed anything while we were there. We were in need of nothing. The "fort" was in a great location. Ours had a view of the mountains and a beautiful sunrise. Would definitely advise you to book this treehouse. Loved, loved, loved the outdoor fireplace which was stocked with all the cut wood we needed. Had a fire each night we were there. Would have used the downstairs outdoor area also, but we had rain while there, It did not dampen our visit. Even went down the slide once. Such fun. My only suggestion would be to have more than one hand towel and maybe a toaster. But we would not hesitate to book this treehouse again. Good luck on the new builds that are happening in the future. We also met the General Contractor and he was friendly and helpful with area activity suggestions, too.

Incredible Experience at Sanctuary Treehouse Resort! This is a unique and exceptional new resort in Sevierville, TN. It is located at the foothills of the Smokies and the views and location are incredible! This uniquely designed new resort is growing rapidly and every Tree House has individual features that make the Sanctuary standout! The treehouses are comfortable, well appointed, and can accommodate up to six people. It would make a lovely family retreat or a lovers paradise for two. You can't go wrong here!

Can’t wait to return! I had the privilege of visiting these gorgeous treehouses. They are well designed with everything you need in mind. The themes are clever- some beautiful w stunning art and some whimsical and silly. The setting is gorgeous and the owners are some of the nicest people you will ever meet. I highly recommend it to families, couples or groups of friends. It will not disappoint.

Loved it y’all If you are looking for an experience instead of a regular stay at any hotel or resort then the Sanctuary is for you. The tree house is everything they showed on the website. Amazing views!! We will be back

Patti S.
Magical! What a wonderful resort! It is so very inviting, from the decor to the comfy pillows. In the treehouse, you literally have a bird's eye view of God's country. These folks thought of everything, such as the little snacks that were provided and a drink chute that you will just have to see to appreciate. Definitely will return!

Unforgettable Rustic-Ritzy Experience! The brand new Sanctuary Treehouse Resort is such an enjoyable and distinctive resort. It’s a perfect idea to create the rustic design scheme of a treehouse resort in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains. But, rustic is not what we experienced in “The Honey Hole” Luxury Treehouse. This is the deluxe couple’s retreat version of cozy, comfy and opulent. Four guest can comfortably enjoy this space, but it was just my honey and me staying this trip. There are not one, but TWO fireplaces, one indoor (electric) and one outdoor (wood-burning). Unexpectedly, the outdoor space was just as well appointed as the indoor. We loved the swinging bed on the private lower deck with curtains billowing in the mountain breezes and even an outdoor television. The upper deck had a countertop built into the deck railing and light weight barstools to take in the golf course, City and Mountain Views. Extravagant extras such as TWO gorgeous soaking tubs (inside and outside) create a very posh experience for guests. Of course, we will be back again and again for more of this “rustic-ritzy” one-of-a-kind vacations. Thank you to the family owned and operated new resort for making our most recent Smoky Mountain getaway UNFORGETTABLE! If you’re reading this review and wondering if this is something that you would enjoy…..BOOK THE TRIP!

Fun Family Getaway This was a fun getaway for our family. Kids loved the whimsical touches like the drink chute and slide. Location is close enough to town. We brought in food and planned to glamp for the weekend. Very thoughtful extras like having matches and fire starters ready to go. Good technology - strong Wi-Fi and two smart TVs. The outdoor fireplace was really nice to sit outside and enjoy. A couple small suggestions: provide a potholder/dish towel/dish rack. The kitchenette sink isn’t really functional for washing anything… while design-wise very neat, we couldn’t wash the cutting board, etc or anything larger than a small plate. We ended up picking up paper plates to make cleanup easier. Also, if you plan to cook at the unit, the grill works well but is very small (although we managed to cook an Easter ham and Au gratin potatoes on it!).
