This was the perfect place to stay for riding at Windrock! We travelled into Knoxville and Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge a couple of days which was only a little over an hour away. Overall, our family had a wonderful time!

Wheelers paradise

Came to have some fun at Windrock and this place was perfect. You are at the backside of the park so get your passes on the way in. Since most people stay at the park proper we hardly saw another person until around lunch. If you stay at the park campground everyone heads out onto the same few trails all at once. We will be back in a couple of months!

Very clean and well stocked

This cottage is tucked away off the beaten path. Communication with the owners was excellent. We had no problems finding the house. The inside was very clean. The house was well stocked with everyday items needed such as towels, linens, toilet paper, paper towels, laundry detergent, trash bags etc. We traveled with 2 pickup trucks, one 30 ft trailer and one 14ft trailer and there was room to park and move around. There is a sign by road but if you are coming in at night it's hard to see the cottage. The creek run behind the cottage and is very soothing to hear. The water pressure is not the greatest in the kitchen or bathroom sinks, the showers were a little better. We never used the washer and dryer but they look new and were nice. We booked this cottage last minute, had no issues, it is good for quick couple days trip for riding trails.

Thank you so much for your review. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay at Bald Knob Cottage! We found the problem with the sink's faucet from the neighbors, they had the same issues with theirs. The city updated their water lines and the screens were clogged. We have cleaned screens and they are working great now. We hope you come

Windrock Trip

We had gone to ride the trails at windrock. We stayed there and took our rides over to the park, which was a 30 minute ride each way. The trail closest to the house was flooded making it where we couldn't get on it until the last day. let's just say it is not a GREEN tail!!! Haha On our way out we discovered another way to get on the trails from where we were staying. We had friends staying at windrock so for us, the drive was no big deal. With the water being up, it ran ants inside the house, which wasn't good when they ended up in the beds. The water pressure in the home wasn't the greatest, but we managed. Parking is tight, we were able to leave our trailers and side by sides at windrock, which made it okay for us. Overall, the home was nice and we would stay again, especially since we found a way into the trails from that side of the mountain! I communicated with Scott and he responded very quickly. Looking forward to our next trip!

Christmas getaway

Stayed at the cottage for six nights over Christmas, this was our first time to Windrock park. The cottage was extremely clean and organized. There was plenty of information posted in the kitchen to help out around town. It was nice to be able to back after a day of riding and able to have a full kitchen and grill outback on the porch. Restaurants are about 20min away, which made for a nice drive. Scott was extremely hospitable when talking to him on the phone. I will definitely add this to my favorites list and hope to spend time there again. Thank you Scott and you family

Great Location

We enjoyed our stay at Bald Knob Cottage. It is a great location for riding directly to trails without trailering. You can also ride in town to get gas, food, and supplies. Also, you can ride to Brushy Mountain Penitentiary (which you MUST go and see!).

We rented this to ride at Windrock. This place is right at trails 26&27. And right near the prison. Legal to ride your toys on the streets. Only 30 minutes from the park. The house is very clean and has parking for you trailers. We will be definitely staying there again.
