Welcome to Chasing Butterflies, a one-of-a-kind luxury treehouse where history, craftsmanship, and the beauty of the Smoky Mountains come together for an unforgettable stay. As featured on Barnwood Builders (Season 14, Episode 4), this extraordinary retreat was thoughtfully created from a restored 1850s log cabin, allowing you to experience authentic hand-hewn logs crafted more than 170 years ago while enjoying all the comforts of modern mountain living.
Perched more than 15 feet above the forest floor at the base of Cove Mountain in scenic Wears Valley, Chasing Butterflies offers a peaceful escape unlike any other. Wake to the sounds of nature, admire the forest through oversized windows, and spend your days relaxing on the expansive 400-square-foot deck overlooking a seasonal creek. Unwind in the private two-person hot tub, enjoy meals outdoors, or simply soak in the fresh mountain air high among the trees.
Inside, rustic history blends seamlessly with modern farmhouse design. The open-concept living space features original hand-hewn logs, charming butterfly-inspired décor, a fully equipped kitchen, a cozy loft bedroom, and thoughtful amenities that make every stay comfortable and memorable.
As evening falls, the treehouse comes alive with soft outdoor lighting, creating a magical atmosphere beneath the stars. You may even spot local wildlife, including butterflies and the occasional black bear, adding to the unforgettable mountain experience.
Whether you're planning a romantic getaway, celebrating a special occasion, or simply looking for a truly unique escape, Chasing Butterflies offers a timeless Smoky Mountain experience where history, nature, and relaxation come together high in the treetops.
