Great cabin!

Nice cabin in the Bryson area. Close to the rafting, train rides, grocery store, and downtown Bryson area but still far enough off the path for a true mountain cabin experience. Great views too!

Everything we were looking for!

The cabin was just as described! Beautiful property and so close to Bryson City, but you'd never know it when you're relaxing on the front porch, by the fire or in the hot tub. We loved everything about our stay at Knotty Knoll! Thank you so much!!

Great cabin. Great location.

We spent a great week at this cabin. Everything was in order and the location was great. It feels like you are in the wilderness but it is just a few minutes to Bryson City. We used this cabin as a base for some of the famous roads in this area and had a blast. The pool table was an added plus for a rainy day. Highly suggest this cabin if you are in the area.

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!

Great cabin experience

Communication with the host was excellent, they thought of everything in the cabin down to movies and books. Enjoyed the views from the porch, from the jacuzzi, and from the firepit. Enjoyed the game room with the pool table and bar. Great cabin experience. Will recommend to everyone.

This was the 2nd time we’ve stayed at this cabin, and it definitely won’t be the last! The location is AMAZING! You feel like you are completely secluded in the mountains, but it’s only 5-7 minutes from downtown Bryson City! The outdoor fire pit area is our ABSOLUTE FAVORITE!! The amenities are great, our bed was super comfortable, PLENTY of firewood, and beautiful views!!

A week in Bryson city

This was our first trip to Bryson city to stay we have visited before and fell in love with the town. The house was awesome just 5 minutes from town on a quiet road. We have rented through VRBO before but this house exceeded our expectations, everything you need just bring yourself and food. We WILL be back for sure !!!!!!!!!

Very Clean, Fun and Quaint Cabin with Beautiful Views

This cabin was absolutely adorable and very clean. We enjoyed grilling out near the firepit and loved the scenery. The added bonus was the awesome little game room downstairs behind the garage. It was heated, had a nice bar, and TV. Perfect for family to enjoy. The owners were very responsive and accommodating and made it very easy to get into the cabin and use all the amenities, including the hot tub. We had a fantastic few days away and will be returning hopefully in the near future.

Wonderful property

A fantastic, quiet cabin! Kids and I just hung out all weekend. Grilling, making smores and staying up late watching movies. Kids loved climbing rocks around the property while Dad played pool. My 5yo was near tears because he immediately wanted to know when we'd get to return. Highly recommended!

Wonderful getaway.

We struggled a little bit to get the key out of the lock box. We were always concerned about opposing traffic on the narrow road to the cabin as there is not enough space to move over. Fortunately that never happened the entire stay. Everyone enjoyed the hot tub and the game room, and the privacy. Thank you for sharing your property.

Clean, peaceful cabin with amazing views

We had a great spring break vacation in North Carolina with our teenaged boys! The cabin was beautiful and so clean! The location was remote enough so you were away in the woods without being far away from activities. We enjoyed hiking in Great Smokey Moutain National Park, enjoying waterfall hikes around the area (there are lots of them!), hiking trails along the Blue Ridge Parkway, and ATVing in the mountain trails. … And most of all at the end of the day we enjoyed a nice fire, grilling for dinner, and a relaxing hot tub! Slept great at the cabin as well!! The cabin is perfect!!!! Thanks!

Weekend getaway

My husband and I with another couple rented the Knotty Knoll cabin for a long weekend getaway. We had a wonderful time, the cabin was just as described and we all enjoyed sitting in front of the fire in the evenings and cooking in the cute kitchen. The hot tub on the back of the cabin has a nice view of the mountains and it was nice to sit and enjoy the view after a day of hiking. This cabin is convenient to Bryson City and hiking in the Smoky Mountains or the Nantahala. Barbie was very throughout, easy to work with and helpful. If you are looking for a wonderful mountain getaway I suggest the Knotty Knoll cabin.

Highly recommend!

This is a great Bryson City rental! It is a quick drive into town, minutes from the grocery store and downtown shops/restaurants. Easy drive to Cherokee, and also a good locAtion for Nantahala rafting. We loved the fire pit (would definitely recommend paying for firewood!!) and hot tub. Very nice after we came back from a long day of hiking. Our kids (11 and 7) loves the twin beds in the loft area and thought it was the best ever. Having two bathrooms, as well as laundry with detergent provided, was so nice. While we didn’t cook at the cabin, it was well appointed.
