We had a wonderful Thanksgiving week stay the Knotty Bear. It was perfect for our family of 4 adults and 2 children, 10 and 5. The space was cozy and comfortable, but enough room for the kids to have their space, as well as the adults. The amenities were excellent and well used by all….hot tub, sauna, firepit, outside porch with sofa and TV, and game and bunk bed loft. The location was great for quick access to Pigeon Forge, as well as Gatlinburg. Any questions we had were immediately addressed by our excellent Host. The place was as described and easy to locate. Highly recommend this for families or anyone looking for a getaway in the mountains, but also with access to so many things to do and places to eat in town. We look forward to returning in the future!

Amazing stay! I had a fantastic experience at this Airbnb. The place was extremely clean, comfortable, and exactly as described—if not better. The host was friendly, responsive, and made everything super easy from check-in to check-out. The location was perfect, and all the little touches made the stay feel extra special. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to stay! I would absolutely stay at a Knotty Retreat again 😊

I really enjoyed staying here for my 32nd birthday with my family. It had everything I need to relax. It was nice to escape the city life and relax with a hot tub a sauna. Plenty of games for me to play with my niece. A spacious kitchen for breakfast in the mornings. We would recommend this place to people in the future.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The sauna, fire pit, and jacuzzi were great outdoor activities for our family. My sons loved playing the mini Pac-Man video game table. I would definitely recommend this place for more trips. Would love to check out their other rental properties as well.

There's nothing rustic about this gorgeous cabin in the mountains. The interior is beautifully decorated, immaculate, and live-in ready. The appliances are modern and in excellent repair. The beds are very comfortable and the bedding is cozy and clean. My grandkids loved the arcade upstairs and the outdoor slide. That mountain air smells and feels like heaven while soaking in the private hot tub the back porch. We didn't use the sauna but it is beautiful. The bathrooms are clean with excellent water pressure and we never ran out of hot water for showers and baths. We saw our first bear on the drive in from Gatlinburg. The surrounding towns are lively and full of fun family attractions. The fire pit is awesome. We bought wood in town and made s'mores. This was a wonderful family adventure and we look forward to coming back. I would recommend this cabin and these hosts to anyone looking for a relaxing natural retreat 20 minutes from bustling mountain towns.

We really loved our stay here! The place is surrounded by beautiful nature — we came to see the fall foliage, and we could enjoy the stunning mountain views right from the house. The cabin is cozy, clean, and well-equipped with everything we needed. It truly felt like a peaceful getaway. Highly recommend this place, and we’d love to come back again!
