This property was even more beautiful in person than the pictures. There were so many thoughtful items in the cabin to make it a better experience. My children loved the chest full of board games. The communication with the owners was great. Anytime I had to shoot them a message, they responded away.
The cabin is central to so many enjoyable activities if you're a nature lover or looking for adventure. We rode the steam train. We spent a day tubing down Deep Creek. We hiked and found many waterfalls. We went white water rafting on the Nantahala River. We zip lines. We went tubing in Cherokee. We spent many evenings at the Smokey Mountain park watching the Elk. There are many horse back riding stables close to the cabin as well.
All in all, my family and I thoroughly enjoyed our time in Bryson City. Im sure we will come back. When we do, we will definitely be staying at this cabin again.

I found this cabin after searching around for a week. Let me tell you, it's absolutely worth it! My husband and I stayed for almost a week and we loved every minute of our stay. First off, it was very clean. A must for me. Kudo's to the housekeeping team. It's close to town, Fontana Lake, Harrah's Casino, tubing/rafting/zip lining, etc. Just close enough to day trip over to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg too. It had everything we needed AND it had an area to store our food stuff/etc. First cabin ever we weren't squeezing our stuff into a cabinet or leaving it in grocery bags on the floor because all the cabinets were overstuff with the owners dishes. The beds were super comfy-not overly soft or overly hard. While not a huge cabin, which for the 2 of us we didn't need, but it's spacious enough and cozy at the same time. The owners themselves are super nice and answered any questions within a short amount of time. The only drawback we found, which wasn't a big issue, it that you had to take your laundry outside and go down to the basement to wash and dry them. No access from inside the cabin. But, like I said, not a big issue. We will definitely stay here again. Big thank you and hugs to the owners and housekeeping staff.

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.

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.

My husband and his friend stayed for the weekend. Every time he called me on the phone he raved about how cute and perfect the cabin was. He said it was well appointed and super convenient. He loved the fireplace and said he would be bringing me back! Thanks for sharing your place!

We always love our stay in this cabin. It is perfect - well kept, well stocked, and the perfect mix of in the woods and close to town. The owners are the best to work with and really care about you and your visit. As always, we plan to work with them on another stay next year too, as this is by far our favorite trip of the year. Thank you!!

The cabin was amazing, we had such an incredible time even with the rain. Would love to come back again!

This is a lovely cabin. It was perfect for a family of 4 adults and 2 kids. The hot tub and game room (with pool table) provided entertainment when we were back at the cabin. There were multiple games for all ages throughout. The fire pit was nice and the view of the mountains was gorgeous. We stay in the Bryson City/Sylva area every year. The paved driveway is SO MUCH better than some of the terrains we've had to brave to get to other cabins. The hosts was very responsive and super friendly. Highly Recommend this cabin. Thank you much.

Dennis and Jackie were great! Available to answer any questions we had before our trip as well as during. The house was exactly as advertised and very welcoming. We definitely will stay again next year!

The cabin was beautiful!! The owner was amazing. I called about a couple of things, and he had it fixed in no time. He was very very kind and helpful. We’ll probably rented 30+ cabins. And I will definitely come back to this one. It’s very close to everything and we wished we could’ve stayed longer! The beds were comfortable the sheets very soft. Jacuzzi was awesome. And the fire pit area was amazing. Make sure you get stuff for s’mores.!! And to the owners, we just want to say thank you once again!

Our first mountain cabin experience… was Great!
Beautiful cabin, beautiful view, well equipped, plenty of space but very cozy!
Location was just right for all we planned to do: downtown Bryson, NOC white water adventure, Blue Ridge parkway, Maggie Valley, etc.
The owners of Knotty Knoll are super nice and very accommodating!!

The location is great, near the Deep Creek section of Smoky Mountain National Park, Bryson City, and the Natanahala Outdoor Center. The grocery store was less than 5 minutes away and we cooked over the campfire.

I thoroughly enjoyed our five night stay at this super well stocked and cozy cabin. Even though it is secluded and peaceful in two minutes, you can be in downtown Bryson city. We enjoy hiking as our main activity and you can’t go wrong with the numerous trails available in all directions. We also enjoy eating dinner out so between the many restaurants at Bryson city, NOC, etc. we had plenty to choose from. The hosts are the best and were available at any time if we needed anything, which we didn’t. Thank you for sharing this special cabin in the woods and we hope to return sometime soon!

Perfect cabin for family time, relaxation on the awesome porch with beautiful views, and room outside to enjoy the outdoors.

Our family had the BEST time at Knotty Knoll! Our teenage boys went straight to the game room and spent the entire time unplugged, even though there was great cell service and wifi. Wildlife visited us there, and it feels like you're in a treehouse while sitting on the porch. There was plenty to do at the secluded cabin, but it was close enough to town to make other activities readily accessible. We went on an ATV adventure, went trout fishing, and came back to cook up our fresh catch in the amply supplied kitchen. This is one of the best rentals we've ever stayed in and are already planning another stay here!

This was our family's second visit to Knotty Knoll and it was even better than our first! The new hot tub is a huge improvement!! We really enjoy being out in the woods but only 5 minutes from town. The house is great and the host is very helpful and welcoming. Knotty Knoll is definitely on our list for repeat visits!

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!

Me and my wife stayed here to celebrate 20 years together and we loved it. The owners were very responsive and great to communicate with. It’s exactly as described, maybe better even, and has everything anybody could need. My wife fell in love with the bathroom and the claw foot tub. The bed was very comfortable to us which is always a plus. The Pendleton blanket was a very nice unexpected touch. We enjoyed the outdoor area with grill and fire pit and especially the hot tub. We would recommend this place to anyone and we look forward to staying here again.

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!!

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 is the third time my family has stayed in this cabin. We like to come up for the Polar Express and make a nice long weekend of it.
The cabin is always well maintained, the kitchen is well stocked, the fireplace is so peaceful and relaxing, and the hot tub is the icing on the cake. We will keep coming back as long as we can. The new owners are very kind, communicative, and responsive - they were a pleasure to work with.
5 stars across the board!!

My husband and son and I spent the majority of our time there and we had a blast. We loved the hot tub, fire pit and the pool table! We cooked Thanksgiving dinner there and other than a few items we knew we needed to bring we had everything to do that! I will say one of my favorite features was the pantry shelf. This was amazing and kept all our foods organized! Views were great and the house was better than advertised! Bryson city is a quaint town and fun to walk around. Owners were super great at communicating and made everything super easy! We would definitely come back!

Our family loves visiting the Smokies but didn’t want to deal with the big crowds down in the Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge area, so we decided to stay on the NC side of the mountain. I booked Knotty Knoll, and it was an absolute treasure. The cabin is tucked away on a quiet road and has a beautiful view of the mountains from the front porch. We loved sitting out there. It was spotless, and the kitchen and laundry rooms were well stocked with supplies. My parents were on this trip, and they enjoyed feeding the birds and watching the bird feeders. The fire pit area is also really nice with lots of seating provided.
The hosts of this property, Denis and Jackie, are wonderful. They were responsive to messages and had all of the information for checkin/checkout readily available. They also had clear instructions on how to work the TV, where to take garbage, etc., posted in an easy to find place. We loved this cabin and plan to rebook in the future!

Peaceful and secluded yet within minutes of town. The cabin has a comfortable and relaxing vibe with all the amenities needed for a great family get away.

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 !!!!!!!!!

We enjoyed our stay at the cabin. It was in a great location, had many amenities that we took advantage of and were able to make some great family memories. The owners were great at communicating with us! We would rent this cabin again.

We had a great time at this cabin! Plenty of room for my family of 5. We enjoyed sitting on the porch which overlook the mountains and using the outdoor grilling area. Owners were very responsive. Outings including the Great Smokey Mountain railroad, rafting, tubing, hiking, and horseback riding were close by.
Our only complaints would be that the separate game room had an awful smell and the shower curtains could use some bleach. Note that the washing machine and dryer is downstairs in the garage which has a separate entrance. Also there is no dishwasher.

Best local for SMNP getaway
This property lived up to all the hype I read in initially booking the vrbo - we had the most wonderful family time here. Perfect in every way...except not enough time! Just means that we will need to book another trip in the future. Thanks again Dennis & Jackie for making our stay so welcoming, we all loved it.
