The tree came crashing down around 3 a.m. along Remington Street, near Beatties Ford Road and landed on the house.
Emergency officials told Channel 9 that a woman was inside at the time but she escaped unharmed.
Channel 9 could see where the tree slammed into the back of the house, scattering debris across the yard.
Rain was coming down when the tree fell, but officials are still not certain if that played a role.
The American Red Cross was called out to help the family find a place to stay.
