The Knotty Pines Lodge was an excellent place for my family and I to stay while visiting Beavers Bend State Park and the surrounding areas. The hosts were very helpful and easy to communicate with. The location was great and the amenities at the house kept the whole family entertained. I would highly recommend this property!
Knotty Pines was the perfect cabin for our group of pickleball ladies. The house was beautiful and had everything we needed for our three night stay. We loved that the pickleball court was so close to the house. The hosts took great care of us and answered any questions we had quickly. We highly recommend Knotty Pines and we will be back!
Paul was an incredible host who was communicative, flexible, helpful, and kind. The house was perfectly stocked with all the things we needed to cook for a weekend. The sport court and creek in the back kept our kids entertained for hours. Would absolutely stay here again!!

Wonderful time spent with family celebrating Thanksgiving, birthdays and anniversaries. Owners were very responsive to any requests and house was exactly what we always look for, clean and roomy with all kinds of sports activities available
The property is just what we always look for. Very clean, roomy, with large common area. Our family loves sports and competition so enjoyed the pickleball, basketball, cornhole, ping pong, pool table, hot tub and outdoor fire pit. Would definitely would return for another stay
We had such a wonderful time staying at your beautiful cabin in Broken Bow! Our family of nine felt right at home and enjoyed every moment. The cabin was cozy, welcoming, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway.

Christmas at Knotty Pines
We had 12 family members for Christmas at Knotty Pines Lodge! The house has everything and more to keep 12 people active, happy and relaxed. Everything we needed was there for cooking and playing. The house was clean and perfectly situated in the beautiful pine trees for privacy and fun. You’ll love this place!
We absolutely loved the spaciousness of Knotty Pines lodge, the bedrooms were very nice and comfortable, and the loft and the outdoors had plenty of activities to keep our group engaged. It was in a location where we felt secluded enough during our stay but also had several towns close enough for a couple outings for the group that were fun!

Thank you for staying at our cabin. We're so glad you all enjoyed everything. We hope y'all will come again soon
We had easy communication with the host and their details about the property made the stay even better. There was space for our older guests to have quiet rooms away from the kids. The bunks were safe for the kids. We enjoyed the kitchen and all of the outside space.

Perfect getaway!
I took a trip with a big group and we had an absolute blast. All the rooms are great, and the living room and common spaces are open and have plenty of room. Kitchen accommodated all of our food needs, and the guys had a great time using the pickleball court and fire pit in the back. Truly such a great time. Would definitely go again! You can tell they take care of the place and want people to feel welcomed.
Very beautiful and spacious home. Both sofa beds upstairs and downstairs. Pickleball court was a hit. Thanks Paul for allowing our family to stay at your home.
I have been using Vrbo for quite a while and can honestly say this may have been one of the greatest stays my friends and I have had. The place was very clean and offered so much that we never really had to leave the place. It gave us the sense of a home away from home. Truly thankful for the owners as well for being so kind and giving clear instructions and even some recommendations on the places we should go!5/5 Would stay here again and planning on it!

Great guests. Yazan is welcomed back anytime at the cabin. Thanks for taking such good care of the cabin.
Our Knotty Pines experience was a blast! We couldn’t have asked for better hosts than Rhonda and Paul! They provided lots of information to us and responded promptly for questions I had. The home was very clean, large and comfortable bedrooms, fantastic and roomy kitchen, and everything we needed The home was perfect for our large family and so many fun things to do inside and outside. We sat around the fire pit and sang karaoke, had s’mores, and did a lot of laughing. Everyone said it was one of the best trips we have had in a long time. I would definitely recommend Knotty Pines for your get away vacation stay. My 5 year old granddaughter said “can we come back here again.” I will definitely considered Knotty Pines for my future stay! Thanks for a great time!

Exceptional Stay!
My family and I stayed at Knotty Pines for just under a week and we absolutely loved it! The cabin was immaculate and truly looked even better than the photos. The beds were soft and comfortable and everything was very clean. The kitchen had everything we could ever need, all we had to bring was food. We had plans to wander into town and participate in some of the local activities, but we loved the house so much we never left! Lastly, Rhonda was extremely kind, responsive, and thorough! The digital guidebook she put together told us everything we needed to know about the home, and the turn-by-turn directions to the property ended up coming in handy as well. We've stayed at several vacation homes through the years and Knotty Pines was hands down the best experience we've had yet. Thanks for everything, we can't wait to come back!

The Perfect Family Getaway!
We just returned from a wonderful stay at Knotty Pines Lodge in June 2025 and I can't say enough good things about our experience. Even from the beginning, we found the property website informative and helpful with a house manual, turn-by-turn directions, and a list of local activities, restaurants & shopping. Once we arrived at the lodge, it was obvious that every detail had been thought through to make our stay special. The property was spotless, beautifully decorated and had everything we needed.
The lodge had plenty of space for our 3 generations of family staying together and we thoroughly enjoyed the outdoor sport court. The kitchen was fully stocked, the bedrooms were comfortable and we loved the little touches like the welcome basket of goodies when we arrived. The location was ideal - secluded enough to feel private and peaceful, but still close enough to shops, restaurants, the lake and trails.
The hosts were incredibly responsive and kind - they clearly take pride in this property and it shows. Highly, highly recommend!
This house is very clean and spacious. Kitchen has plenty of pots pans, cooking utensils, etc. Communication with management was easy. We decided halfway through our stay that we wanted to stay an extra day and they had it all worked out within minutes. We had two full families with kids and grandkids plenty to do for all ages.Hot tub was clean and had a great temperature. We would definitely stay here again!
