Chasing Butterflies treehouse, Barnwood Builders Homemade History episode!!!
Newly constructed in 2023... Chasing Butterflies is a 2-story treehouse perched over 15 feet up among the trees! This treehouse is a repurposed 1850’s log cabin featured on the Barnwood Builders TV show, Season 14, episode 4 – Log Cabin Treehouse. Unlike any treehouse, you will truly step back in time and see logs that were handmade with an ax some 170 years ago.
Let nostalgic memories of your youth come back to life when you stay at the Chasing Butterflies treehouse. This Farmhouse style treehouse has a loft bedroom with oversized windows bringing the outdoor beauty in. Complete with modern amenities, enjoy the calm peaceful view from this treehouse bordering the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
The Chasing Butterflies treehouse sits at the base of Cove Mountain in Wears Valley. This open concept 1 bedroom, 1 1/2 bath treehouse sleeps up to 4 people comfortably and is full of amenities. In addition to a queen bed and sofa bed, it offers a full-size bathroom & shower, ½ bath, kitchen, living room, dining area, hot tub, and a huge outdoor deck. Regardless of the season, relax in the air-conditioned or heated treehouse after your day’s activities. The kitchen has a range, refrigerator, and combo convection/microwave oven. Enjoy your favorite show on the 55" big screen smart-TV or use the free WI-FI.
When you arrive at Chasing Butterflies, you will experience a treehouse cabin unlike anything you have seen. From old logs, iron & butterfly decor, modern lighting, and a large deck, you will sit high among the trees. You access Chasing Butterflies via the set of stairs (30 steps) & catwalks or a service set of 17 stairs.
The outsides deck is over 400 square feet and provides ample outdoor seating and viewing areas which overlooks a seasonal creek. Use the decks to sit and relax, dine outside, or sit in the 2-person hot tub and take in the fresh mountain air. If you’re lucky, you may even see a Black Bear (which you are not allowed to feed) At night, Chasing Butterflies transforms into a nightly light display with outdoor lights and possibly a few butterflies.

Chasing butterflies was a Barn wood builders Cabell County WV cabin
Lots of stairs but you expect that with a tree house. The cabin was originally my father-in-laws home that he was raised in as a child.
