The high chair and various baby accessories for a bonus that was greatly enjoyed and utilized. They included complimentary laundry detergent was also a bonus. The laundry baskets to take it to the laundry utilities was a nice addition as well. The only small drawback would be maybe an upgrade to the mattress and the king bed. Besides that everything was perfect. Highly recommend staying there and will probably stay there if we come back in the area in the future.

We had a wonderful time at this cabin. Perfect setup -- beautiful property, completely remote but amazing location (minutes from town but you wouldn't know it and feel completely removed from everything), great setup, hosts were super-responsive -- everything we could want. Highly recommended! We can't wait to stay here again.

Great place to stay. Stayed there for Miata at the Gap. Road and driveway was fine for a Miata. We easily parked two Miatas at the cabin. The cabin was clean and neat. The beds were comfortable. We did not use any of the amenities just slept and showered there.

It really doesn't get any better than this! The cabin is gorgeous, super clean, spacious, and very well-appointed. The location is perfect - very secluded yet only 5-10 minutes from everything in town. We loved everything about our stay here, especially the huge, comfy master bedroom bed, sitting on the front porch in the mornings, and soaking in the hot tub. Extra points for having a full-size washer and dryer on site for guests to use! Highly recommend!

Practically perfect!

Pros: well maintained; clean; quiet & isolated, but close to town; owner/manager was super responsive, friendly & helpful; well supplied; uncluttered; great hot tub; nice pool table in game room area; good cell & internet reception; plenty of room inside; great view of distant ridgeline in the Smoky mountains from porchCons: nothing worth mentioning!! OK, nothing is perfect, so I'll mention that we had to remove a few air scent devices from the house while we were staying there, but only one of us was bothered by them and they were easily removed, and replaced when we were leaving. there are steps you have to climb to enter the main level, but nothing you wouldn't expect from a cabin in the mountains! We have to dig deep to find anything to complain about, and the owner is great to work with if anything does pop up that needs attention. Wonderful vacation time in Knotty Knoll, and we are likely to come back in the fall or next summer if it's availalbe.

Awesome Cabin in the Mountains

The cabin was amazing! Loved the location where we felt like we were totally in the mountains, but could also get to town in a few minutes. Being able to sit out on the porch and listen to the wildlife, enjoy the hot tub, the fire pit, and the game room made for an amazing vacation. We also enjoyed the town of Bryson City and a few of the neighboring towns for some good craft beer. Definitely would recommend and stay again!

Fantastic Cabin!

We wanted mountain views and a feeling of being remote, but with a minivan and a 7 month old we also wanted ease of access and close to town. This cabin is the perfect combination of both! Super clean, cozy, and amazing views. All with only 5 mins to downtown, grocery store, anything you need. The hot tub was such a nice perk every evening. And the owners were so quick to respond to any question we had. Loved every bit of our getaway!

Cozy Cabin in the Woods

We had a wonderful long weekend with close proximity to Bryson City - great views, but at the same time secluded, with all the amenities you could ask for - hot tub, fire pit, cozy interior decor, and plenty of space in the living room to spread out. Slept great in the master bedroom king size bed.

The perfect mountain cabin

The Knotty Knoll cabin is a beautiful mountain retreat.We were fortunate to have the opportunity to stay in such a great place with a beautiful view of the Smoky Mountains. Everything was perfect from the long private driveway to the rocking chairs on the porch to sit and relax from a great days hike. So close to all the activities

One of our favorite trips

This property was even more beautiful in person than the pictures. There were so many thoughtful items in the cabin to make it a better experience. My children loved the chest full of board games. The communication with the owners was great. Anytime I had to shoot them a message, they responded away. The cabin is central to so many enjoyable activities if you're a nature lover or looking for adventure. We rode the steam train. We spent a day tubing down Deep Creek. We hiked and found many waterfalls. We went white water rafting on the Nantahala River. We zip lines. We went tubing in Cherokee. We spent many evenings at the Smokey Mountain park watching the Elk. There are many horse back riding stables close to the cabin as well. All in all, my family and I thoroughly enjoyed our time in Bryson City. Im sure we will come back. When we do, we will definitely be staying at this cabin again.

41st Anniversary

I found this cabin after searching around for a week. Let me tell you, it's absolutely worth it! My husband and I stayed for almost a week and we loved every minute of our stay. First off, it was very clean. A must for me. Kudo's to the housekeeping team. It's close to town, Fontana Lake, Harrah's Casino, tubing/rafting/zip lining, etc. Just close enough to day trip over to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg too. It had everything we needed AND it had an area to store our food stuff/etc. First cabin ever we weren't squeezing our stuff into a cabinet or leaving it in grocery bags on the floor because all the cabinets were overstuff with the owners dishes. The beds were super comfy-not overly soft or overly hard. While not a huge cabin, which for the 2 of us we didn't need, but it's spacious enough and cozy at the same time. The owners themselves are super nice and answered any questions within a short amount of time. The only drawback we found, which wasn't a big issue, it that you had to take your laundry outside and go down to the basement to wash and dry them. No access from inside the cabin. But, like I said, not a big issue. We will definitely stay here again. Big thank you and hugs to the owners and housekeeping staff.
