Treehouses aren't just for kids. In fact, treehouses are some of the most sought-after homes on Airbnb, but they can be booked solid for months and hard to come by.
Luckily, a new resort in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, consists entirely of treehouses.
The newly opened Treehouse Grove at Norton Creek Resort features eight stylish treehouses that let you connect to your childhood — but in an upscale, adult way. Take a look at the magical spot below.
The Treehouse Grove sits nestled among Tennessee's Great Smoky Mountains in Gatlinburg.

Each treehouse was designed and built by Pete Nelson, host of the Animal Planet series "Treehouse Masters."
"He actually designed all the treehouses, followed our concept, and came up with each individual treehouse," owner and developer Joseph Ayres told WVLT. "He was involved in concept planning [and] picking out the trees he wanted to use."

These aren't the rickety structures of your youth ...
... The treehouses are solidly built on stilts, around trees.
Each treehouse has one bedroom and a loft.
There's a queen-sized bed in each bedroom and loft, so every treehouse comfortably sleeps four.
They also have kitchenettes, full bathrooms, electricity, and Wi-Fi.
Imagine sipping a nice ice tea on this porch, listening to the relaxing sounds of the nearby creek ...
The treehouses are a more grown-up spin on the ones you might remember from your childhood.
Tucked away in the corner is a full bathroom.

Each treehouse is named after a local plant, from The Poplar to The Magnolia.
The resort also has picnic tables, grills, firepits, hammocks, and games, and there are tons of hiking trails nearby.
In fact, Gatlinburg is considered the gateway to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, so there's plenty of nature to be had, but the resort is also near the downtown areas of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, should the tranquility get to be too much.
