Thank you for visiting Knotty Knoll Cabin and for the amazing review! We are pleased that everything about the cabin was enjoyable and appreciated all the compliments. Thanks for being wonderful guests and you’re welcome back anytime!
We’ve been to the Smokies many times and this cabin is an absolute gem! It was spotless, cozy, and perfectly located. We love the privacy the cabin offers and that Bryson City is not congested at all but still close enough to everything including the trailheads. We can’t wait to come back to summit Mt Le Conte!The hosts were wonderful and very responsive from booking to check out. Thank you for sharing your cabin with us!

Very nice secluded cabin that is very close to the town of Bryson City! The indoor fireplace, and open family room and kitchen area was perfect for a long weekend getaway. The basement pool table room is also quite nice, and it's only a small inconvenience that you have to go outside to get there. The outdoor fire pit area is also quite nice. Very pretty area!

We had a wonderful time at this cabin. Perfect setup -- beautiful property, completely remote but amazing location (minutes from town but you wouldn't know it and feel completely removed from everything), great setup, hosts were super-responsive -- everything we could want. Highly recommended! We can't wait to stay here again.

Great place to stay. Stayed there for Miata at the Gap. Road and driveway was fine for a Miata. We easily parked two Miatas at the cabin. The cabin was clean and neat. The beds were comfortable. We did not use any of the amenities just slept and showered there.
