We have fallen in love with this beautiful cabin inside and out. We thoroughly enjoy driving around the area spotting the wildlife, enjoying local restaurants, exploring local shops, and relaxing by the fireplace. Thanks to Gary and Gina for being such great hosts!

Davie,
Thanks for your kind review. We enjoyed having you stay with us and glad you got to see lots of wildlife and visit some of the local restaurants and shops. You're always welcomed to stay with us. Looking forward to your next visit, maybe in warmer weather next time, as all 4 seasons are special at the cabin.
We stayed at the cabin while visiting friends and family in Floyd Virginia. Although we spent very little time at the cabin we did find it quite cute, cozy and comfortable in a very unique setting by the stream.

Travis, we are so glad you and Taylor found our cabin to be clean and comfortable for your stay while visiting friends and family in the Floyd area, which by the way is a popular stop over destination for many of our guests. Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review and we hope to have you as our guest again in the future.
The Knotty Cabin was just as amazing on our return trip, like a home away from home. It's still the perfect setting for total relaxation. The weather was different this trip, cold with a light dusting of snow, which was beautiful. Thank you, Gary and Gina, for such a warm welcome back.

Thanks, Davie, for your nice review. Glad you enjoyed the dusting of snow. You know you are always welcomed back. Check with me before booking next regarding our three-peat (and more often) discount.
This cabin is absolutely perfect! The setting is gorgeous with a trout stream running right through the front of the property. Very clean well supplied. If you want to see lots of wildlife you won't be disappointed. Lots of deer, bear, turkeys, racoons etc.

Thanks for the nice review Jim. Glad you enjoyed the cabin and all the wildlife. We hope to see you back again.
Loved staying here. Very clean and quiet. Cabin was located right on the river, and I could hear it from the deck. I forgot a few items but found everything I needed at the cabin including a first aid kit and dental floss. Thank you Gary and Gina for the relaxing experience and for being such great hosts!

Thank you, Ruth, for taking to time to give us a nice review. You left the place spotless as if you had not even stayed there. Glad we could fill in the gap with the items you were needing. Thanks for being such a considerate guest and we are so glad you enjoyed your stay and we hope to see you back again.

What a beautiful cabin and we were so glad to come across its listing. It was surreal in its coziness, quality, and the furniture was so beautiful and unique. It definitely was a home away from home. We were so appreciative of the guest book listing all the local attractions and restaurants and other details. We didn’t have a lot of time to investigate the surrounding area before our stay and the guest manual saved us a lot of potential wasted time and kept us organized in terms of helping us to select the many wonderful attractions to visit. We had a fantastic time.

Thank you for the thoughtful review. So glad you enjoyed your stay and were able to make those memories you mentioned in your header. Also, we are so delighted to hear the guest manual came in handy and became a time saver for you. We welcome you back with open arms anytime in the future. Have a great 2024.
I would give more stars if available! Our hosts, Gary & Gina were the best. The attention to detail was superb - everything you could need was readily available. We also appreciated the detailed information for best go to places, was a great help in planning our days sightseeing, enabled us to enjoy the sights while also having time to relax and enjoy being unplugged with nature. Thank you Gary & Gina for everything - it truly was an amazing trip!

Cindy and Wilfred,
It was truly a pleasure meeting you both and having you as our guests after our numerous text message exchanges. Thank you so much for the wonderful review. We were certainly honored to have you select our place among all those available and drive all the way from Florida for your visit. Our deck-side chat about everything from bears to rainbows to Nancy's chocolate candy with walnuts was a pleasure. We were so glad you could visit so many of the local sites and attractions during your stay. Just know that we welcome you back with open arms at any time.
PS Thank you for forwarding the pics of the double rainbow you were so fortunate to see during your visit.

What a wonderful time we had on our mountain getaway at the Knotty Cabin.
We loved the custom cabin decor.
You will find a full kitchen set up with many extras and will exceed your expectations.
Extremely clean and comfortable.
After hiking around the creek banks, enjoying the views and sounds of nature you can relax on the deck, or watch one of many DVDs. There is also a fire pit area to enjoy.
The detailed welcome book gives suggestions to local restaurants and adventures. Will be looking forward to visiting again.

We are so glad you and Fred had a wonderful time at the Knotty Cabin. It was good to know you got out to do some hiking around our wonderful area. Hopefully you'll get to enjoy slightly warmer temperatures on your next visit. Glad you got a chance to thumb through our welcome manual. We will likely be adding even more information by the time of your next visit. Thank you so much for the 5 star review. We are certainly looking forward to having you and Fred back again in 2023.

Loved this little cabin. Clean as a whistle.
Beautiful, rustic furniture. All the amenities you need.
Deck overlooks a beautiful stream. What more could you ask for. Met Gina the host. What a sweetheart. Did not meet Larry or is it Gary I’m terrible with names. Will meet him next time as we will be back.

Thanks Stan. Glad you enjoyed your stay. And thanks so much for following up on our request to review us, as we love feedback from our guests. Hope you will be visiting with us again soon.
My husband and I met our hosts Gary and Gina as we were leaving. We told them we would leave a review. Shame on us for being so late. Here it is.
We were glad to have found this lovely cabin. It was exactly what we were looking for. A very relaxing experience by a lovely stream. The cabin is beautifully furnished. We were very grateful that the guest book included several close-by attractions, with detailed information. We would definitely recommend.

Joy, it was a pleasure meeting you and your husband. We are grateful for your nice review as we love to hear from our guests. So glad that you found the guest book useful. Looking forward to seeing you and your husband again.
From the handcrafted furniture, cleanliness, fully equipped kitchen, amazingly comfortable bed, and all the amenities one could possibly wish for, the "Knotty Cabin" is an absolutely awesome place to stay!!!
This cabin is perfectly located to do as much or little as you choose. The detailed welcome book suggests many activities. Or you can sit on the deck, listen to and watch the stream, and keep an eye out for deer!
Thank you, Gary and Gina, for being the best hosts ever. Also, thanks so much for the flexibility in shifting our reservation dates to accommodate our change in travel plans.

Davie,
Thanks so much for your thoughtful review. We are so glad you found the Knotty Cabin to be comfortable and stocked with amenities to your satisfaction. Yes, you positioned it well when you said guests can do as much or as little as they choose as we have lots of attractions within a reasonable driving distance and for those who want to simply get away from it all and seek a back to nature adventure - the location is ideal for that as well. You are welcome on the shifting of your reservation; glad we could make that happen for you. We hope to see you again in the future.
Gary & Gina
A beautifully furnished, well supplied and decorated cabin. We really enjoyed sitting on the spacious deck while listening to the creek 30 yards away. While traveling the back roads we loved seeing the deer and the wildlife and the beautiful views that seem to be everywhere. There were other things to do within a 30 minute drive in about any direction. Our time was limited however, we cannot wait to get back here again and spend a lot more time enjoying God‘s creation. This is definitely one that we will look forward to staying in again. The owners of this property deserve a big thank you for the work they have done with this welcoming cottage. If you want a relaxing mountain getaway you will not regret giving this property a stay.

Vickie, thank you so much for taking the time to leave the fantastic 5-star review for your stay at the Knotty Cabin. Indeed, the spacious deck and accompanying river view (and sounds) are key highlights for sure. Also, we were glad you enjoyed the Knotty Cabin furnishings and were absolutely delighted to read that you hope to be back soon. We will be waiting with open arms! By the way, you left the cabin so spotless we were beginning to wonder if you stayed there at all – we appreciate you being a considerate and consciousness guest. Thanks again for your wonderful review.
Gary and Gina
My husband and I can get lost in our huge residential home and too often stay on separate floors doing different things. This little place was simply perfect. We were sort of locked at the hip! We took nice long walks by the stream, went out to get some good old-fashioned home cooked meals at a couple of country restaurants. Saw lots and lots of wildlife. My husband tried to catch a trout but said the weather was too cold. I think that was just his excuse. We watched a bunch of videos and even played a few board games. What a relaxing time. And it was cleaner than any place we've ever stayed. Thank you so much.

Anna, thanks so much for leaving us a review, we really appreciate you taking the time and effort to do so. The Knotty Cabin is definitely for relaxing and kicking back and simply not being in a hectic rush. Your husband was right it i can be a little more difficult to catch trout in colder weather! Schedule your next trip in the Spring, Summer or early Fall and I'll be sure to put your hubby on some trout. Thanks for staying with us.
I just returned from a wonderful stay at this charming cabin in southwestern Virginia, and it exceeded all expectations! Nestled right along a cold-water trout stream, this little gem is a perfect getaway for anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life.The cabin is cozy and beautifully decorated, thanks to the thoughtful work of owners Gary and Gina Williams. It’s clear they put a lot of love and attention into every detail. Inside, the space is stocked with all the amenities you could need, and it was spotlessly clean when we arrived.The large porch overlooking the stream was my favorite spot. Whether you're grilling, relaxing, or simply listening to the peaceful sounds of the water, it’s an ideal place to unwind. The nights here are incredibly dark—perfect for stargazing while you hear the gentle rush of the stream in the background. It was such a serene and calming experience.Gary and Gina were wonderful hosts—easy to communicate with, and they clearly care about ensuring guests have a great stay. If you're looking for a quiet, scenic, and well-appointed cabin to reconnect with nature, this is the place. Highly recommend!

Thanks so much for your very kind and thoughtful review Jim. Gina and I thoroughly enjoyed having you up as our guest and being able to once again have some great conversations while doing some kicking around and enjoying a few of the local festivities in our area – especially the KC Creek House Party. We are looking forward to your next stay with us.
An ultra-clean, comfortable, and fun cabin with lots of useful info.
The hosts' attention to detail was impressive. Also, the cabin was as clean as you could possibly ask for. My wife and I were incredibly impressed with the Knotty Cabin's Welcome Manual. It was extremely helpful and by far the most thorough and comprehensive vacation manual we have ever seen. We found the information very useful for multiple purposes including where to take our walks, to where we wanted to eat and shop and also it helped us pick the spots we wanted to visit along the parkway and other places. We would love to come back and stay again as we only got to visit a fraction of the attractions in the area. While the fall was beautiful, I think our next stay will be the Spring or Summer when the daylight hours are longer.
You'll fall in love with the rustic furniture and the Knotty Bed, in particular, was awesome. If you want a fun cabin with some helpful guidance of how to spend your time, you don't want to pass up this little gem.

Shane, I'm glad you and your wife found our Welcome Manual useful. We did our best to pull every bit of information about the cabin, the area, and attractions that we felt would be helpful for our guests. You came to visit during one of the most beautiful times of the year, but each season has its own wonderful character and indeed in the Spring or Summer, you'll have more daylight to visit more of the attractions in the area and we welcome you with open arms. Thanks for staying with us and thanks for the wonderful 5 star review

What a great experience!!! When we walked into your cabin my first word was “wow”, I walked a few more steps and headed into the bedroom and again said “wow”. I think I may have even said “wow” a third time. We are regulars when it comes to doing vacation rentals. We don’t do camping and don’t do hotels. Let me say your cabin was by far one of the most pleasant vacation rentals we have ever experienced, maybe even “the” most pleasant.
The stream was visible only yards from your cabin, while swollen from the recent rain, it was still beautiful, and your furnishings were “awesome”. The burly rustic wood was perfect for the cabin.
We also appreciated your extreme cleanliness, my gosh we could have eaten off the floors. Also, the air in the area was so very fresh, in fact fresher than any beach air we have experienced and that’s saying a lot as we love the beach too.
If you are a coffee drinker, you’re definitely in luck with this place. It appears the hosts are coffee connoisseurs and not only offer various Keurig style pod flavors, but offer beans you can grind and brew as well. My boyfriend got a kick out of doing that! Can’t wait to get back to the Knotty Cabin as we’re looking to book a Spring trip already. Thanks for making our stay special.

Pamela,
Let me say "wow" right back to you. Thank you so much for the wonderful review. We were so glad that you enjoyed the cabin and enjoyed our furnishings. We were also thrilled that your boyfriend enjoyed grinding his own coffee. You left the cabin as clean and spotless as you could have, and we appreciate that and truly hope you get a chance to make that Spring trip you referred to, as that is such a lovely time of year to visit the cabin and hopefully this next time the river will not be as swollen from heavy rains. Thanks again for the 5-star review.

This cabin is a great hide-a-way located in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. It is located beside Laurel Springs Creek in a beautiful forest setting. It is a one bedroom, one bath cabin that is perfect for a great get-a-way for a couple. It was so quiet. We could only hear the rippling of the creek as it flowed in front of the cabin. And the night sky! There is no light pollution. On a clear night it seemed you could see thousands of stars.
The deck is a great place to relax, whether you are catching some rays, star gazing, reading, or enjoying a meal.
The interior of the cabin is awesome. It has that true cozy cabin feel with all of the knotty pine walls. The furniture is custom made and gives a rustic appearance but is comfortable and relaxing. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you might need to prepare a snack or a special meal. It also has new appliances and a fireplace visible from both the kitchen and living area.
My wife and I have travelled a lot and stayed many places. The owner’s attention to detail to make their client’s stay inviting and enjoyable is one of the best we have seen or experienced.
The Blue Ridge Parkway is close by and well as several historical places to visit. Plenty of activities and events in the area, (some based on the season of course), but whether you choose an active day or a day of solitude and relaxation, we found the Knotty Cabin is the perfect location.

Eddie and Jean,
You are spot on regarding the lack of night light pollution. We hear so many comments from guests who've seldom had the chance to visit an area whereby they can take in the beauty of a dark night coupled with a starlit sky. We are pleased to hear you enjoyed the custom-made furniture and found it not only visually appealing but comfortable and relaxing as well. Glad you had a chance to experience some of the activities and events in the area. Many of our guests are pleasantly surprised to learn just how much there is to see and do within a short driving distance. We hope you will come back to visit us in 2023 and thanks so much for the 5-star review....it is really appreciated.

My wife and I were in search of a mountain vacation where we could unwind, rest and recharge. Somewhere that was far away enough for solitude, but close enough for dining and access to area attractions. We found everything we were searching for and then some, at the Knotty Cabin! Nestled in a small valley, surrounded by mountains offering several hiking paths for nature exploration - where the only sound you hear is the occasional breath of wind rustling through the trees, or a squirrel scampering over the fallen leaves. Just wonderful! The thing that struck us about the Knotty Cabin was the cleanliness and adherence to the "knotty" theme. Most of the furniture was made of knotty pine and all other furnishings and fixtures were brand new. We also noticed the owner's attention to detail. From the array of quality kitchen appliances to the plushness of the bathroom towels - everything was perfect! Walking out to the expansive deck, containing a gas grill and several seating choices, we could hear the soothing sound of a small waterfall just a few yards away. We decided to come back in the summer so we could raise the screened windows and let the waterfall drift us off to sleep! My wife and I discovered nearby and reasonably-priced places to eat as well as Mabry Mill, Chateau Morrisette and of course the Blue Ridge Parkway. We discovered several other fun and unique shops that added to our experience. The Knotty Cabin was the perfect choice for everything we were searching for; and the time alone in such beautiful and romantic surroundings helped us rediscover each other! We will be back!

Rick, we are so glad you and Liz found our little piece of heaven at the Knotty Cabin to do your unwinding, relaxing and recharging. The waterfall at the bridge you spoke of is definitely a favorite among our guests. No doubt about it, with a Spring or Summer visit, the weather would be ideal to raise a few windows to take in the soothing and mesmerizing sounds of the falls and drift off into dreamland! So glad you got the opportunity to enjoy Mabry Mill, Chateau Morrisette Winery, the Blueridge Parkway and some of our area’s unique shops. We are looking forward to having you and Liz join us again in 2023 at the Knotty Cabin! Gary & Gina
Too often we’ve been at vacation rentals where we find ourselves placed in not so exciting types of atmospheres. Sometimes the rentals we have experienced are akin to going to your grandmother’s house. In other words, OK but just stuck on a roadside or out in a field without any major draws, such as a river or lake, along with furniture that looks second hand or picked up at a consignment shop. Your “Knotty Cabin” décor along with the Knotty Bed, knocked our socks off. That, along with all your comfortable sheets, and even your special soaps, lotion and shampoo selections topped it off for us.
One other thing that made your rental stand out was all the misc. accessories you made available. Case in point, my husband forgot his charger to his phone. Not just the plug-in adaptor but also the wire. I was of no help as I didn’t even bring my cell phone as I was truly planning to get away from it all – and besides he had his. He had hoped that you had an adaptor as he was planning to go to a local store to find the wire once settled in. Well, lo and behold, not only did you have an adaptor, actually several of them, but you also had multiple wires for various makes of phones and one even fit his phone. He was really happy and pleasantly surprised by this. Although he could only sporadically connect to the internet with his phone while we were taking walks outside your cabin, he had no problem whatsoever connecting to the internet and making calls once we were back inside the cabin, thanks to your cell booster.
By the way, we thoroughly enjoyed our walks and visiting the many attractions along the Parkway and Meadows of Dan. And thanks for the recommendation of the breakfast sandwiches at Poor Farmers. We had hoped to go to Floyd, but will have to do that on our next trip to the Knotty Cabin. Just wanted to add that my hubby and I really enjoyed watching DVD’s in the Knotty Bed late at night, amongst other things. I think I’ve said enough, we agreed what happens at the Knotty Cabin stays at the Knotty Cabin : ) Thanks again for a memorable visit.

It was a pleasure to meet you and Scott and we were so happy Scott didn't have to make a special run to the store for a phone charging cord. Glad you guys enjoyed Poor Farmers and their fantastic breakfast sandwiches. Gina and I have been going there for years.
Gina and I are tickled pink that both you and Scott enjoyed the Knotty Cabin and we are appreciative of all your positive comments and do hope you will come stay with us again...remember you didn't get a chance to go to Floyd and you still need to scratch that off the bucket list!!
Cheers,
