Indulge your inner child by booking a stay in The Treehouse Grove at Norton Creek Resort, 203 miles north of Atlanta. Here, on the edge of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, you can kick back, commune with nature and climb into bed in a sophisticated tree house. The Gatlinburg property has eight one- and two-bedroom abodes designed by Pete Nelson, host of Animal Planet’s “Treehouse Masters,” who picked the location and tree for each house. Interiors are finished in a casual, rustic style but with all the modern amenities — air conditioning, heat, wireless internet, TV and a kitchen area with sink, microwave and mini-fridge. Some houses have sleeping lofts under the rafters with ladder access. (The Treehouse Grove, $299-$399, 475 Norton Creek Road, Gatlinburg, Tennessee. 865-409-1410, treehouse-grove.com)
