My trip

What an amazing stay! The cabin was spotless, and the view of the mountains was absolutely stunning. It’s so peaceful! We had nearly 20 people, and there was plenty of space for everyone. The kitchen was fully stocked, the rooms were comfy and warm, and the jacuzzi was perfect. We also had so much fun with all the board games, video games, and the movie theater with endless movie options.One thing to keep in mind, if you’re visiting during the winter, it can take a while for the roads to be cleared after a snowstorm. We went during heavy snow and ended up missing our flight because we couldn’t leave the cabin until the roads were safe. Definitely something to plan for, but other than that, it was a fantastic trip.

Wonderful cabin with beautiful views! A great location for a family reunion

My wife turned 60 so we invited our three daughters and all of their children and their spouses to celebrate in Wears Valley. There was plenty to do for our grandkids and we very much enjoyed the location near Pigeon Forge and Townsend! The cabin’s description was very accurate. We plan to return.

Smokies Haven

My family of thirteen—wife, mother-in-law, adult children and grandchildren—had an unforgettable stay at The Knotty Lodge. The description and photos in the property listing are accurate. The views are indeed breathtaking, and we spent hours enjoying them on the deck and by the fire pit. The bedrooms and common areas were perfect for a family or other large group. We could not have been more pleased.

So much room

The beautiful huge cabin, the ease of working with the property manager/owner, the comfortable beds, the well equipped kitchen, the ample parking ( we came from 4 states), the incredible view, the quiet, the bears, the fire pit, the game room and even the hair raising drive up that mountain made for an unforgettable time of making memories for our family.

Great get away. Cabin is close enough to the touristy stuff we wanted to do, but far enough away that we didn’t get caught up in all the hecticness. We would definitely stay here again.

Great Mountain Cabin

This was our second time staying at The Knotty Logde. We enjoyed it so much 5 years ago that we decided we should come again for our family trip. We love the layout of the house and that there is plenty of space for our entire group consisting of my husband’s parents, sisters, their children and our children. The three levels allowed us to all be in the same house spending quality time together while also spreading out enough to have our own space. We love that there is a large enough table for the whole group to have meals together!! This was one of the selling points for my mother in law when selecting a location. I wish I’d brought some more kitchen towels or pot holders though. Preparing a meal for a large group with the starter set supplied wasn’t the best. I’ll remember that for next time though!Our favorite activities were sitting by the fireplace relaxing, playing pool upstairs, and playing ping pong downstairs. We love that this cabin has adequate parking and a nice, flat, paved area for the fire pit. We enjoyed making s’mores outdoors. Many other cabins I’ve seen have very short, steep driveways for parking and that was not the case with the Knotty Lodge! The kids enjoyed the option to play outside in a safe space with the tether ball or explore the area of “woods” right next to the parking area. The theatre area and air hockey table could use some updating/maintenance to be enjoyed to the fullest. Besides that, we loved the downstairs area as well.

Wonderful mountain home close to everything you want to do!

We had a wonderful stay with plenty of room for our whole family. This property is located at the top of the mountain near Townsend were there was little to no cell service and very poor WiFi service in the house. It was clean and had games for the whole family to enjoy. The location is close to all Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg has to offer. Be careful to obey bear awareness! We saw 4 bears during the week that even came on the back porch.
