No other animals will be considered. Potty pads are prohibited. 👙 Hot Tub: - The hot tub is cleaned and sanitized between each guest. Guests may request a mid-stay hot tub cleaning for $65. 🔥 Fire Pit & Outdoor Amenities: ⚠️ Do not use the fire pit in windy/dry conditions, or when a burn ban is in effect (misdemeanor with a $2500 fine). ⚠️ Propane is filled regularly for the gas fire-table but is not guaranteed to be full; tanks can be filled in town. ★ The outdoor soaking tub will not be available if freezing temperatures are forecast due to the potential of burst pipes. 🐻 Mountain Living: – Bears are knotty and smart; they know how to open unlocked car doors. Keep windows, doors, and trash receptacles locked. Keep all food inside the cabin. Damage will be your responsibility. - Keep the shower curtain inside the tub to prevent costly ceiling/floor damage. – Critters may find their way in; we have regular pest control. You might find critters that didn’t survive and/or a few occasional live unwelcome guests. Please keep doors and windows closed. – TN homes are built for a moderate climate, HVAC may maintain mid-60s (winter) and mid-70s (summer) in extreme weather. Rest assured, our cabin and major components are newly built/installed, and we will address any issues promptly during your stay. - Power/internet outages, weather extremes, and spotty cell service are possible in the mountains. – The well requires power – if there’s an outage, water will stop once the tank runs dry. 📱 Cell service may be limited in some areas. Please download maps offline and enable Wi-Fi calling to avoid connectivity issues. 🚗 Mountain Driving: ⚠️ Upon booking guest is required to acknowledge that All Wheel Drive (AWD / 4x4) could be required to reach the cabin in snow/ice, and will 100% be required to use the driveway in snow/ice (possible in Oct-May). ▻ We strongly suggest winter tires or chains if snow or ice is forecasted, as they can significantly enhance traction and control and could be necessary on steep mountain roads. ▻ The driveway is paved, has a steep slope up to the cabin, and can accommodate 2 vehicles. ▻ If you cannot manage the driveway in snow or ice, there is space to park on the street, but please be mindful of the slippery walk up. ▻ Roads in the HOA are well-maintained and easy to navigate. 🌟 Turn on Ash Road (just before Rhododendron Lane) to avoid a sharp turn into the driveway. Directions are provided after booking. ★ We recommend the purchase of Travel Insurance for all planned vacations. Travel Insurance will protect your investment in the event of weather that would make roads impassable to vehicles with 4WD.

Wow! This home is amazing from A to Z! The hosts have thoughtfully curated a beautiful experience here and we enjoyed it thoroughly. It’s pristine, playful, relaxing, healing, peaceful and very comfortable. We especially loved the outdoor amenities and video game lol which we spent at least an hour or two playing. We will most definitely be back…this is a 5 star home!

Absolutely beautiful property, loved all the amenities and the privacy the incredible view from the firepit didn't hurt either. Spent more time than I want to admit playing the Hunter Arcade game with our friends. It was a hit! Pretty sure we manifested the amazing HUGE black bear that came to visit us, we had our fingers crossed we'd see one. It was both exhilarating and awe inspiring. He was a beauty and we were fortunate to see him strolling by one evening. All together it was an unforgettable stay and we are looking forward to trying other Knotty Retreat properties.

Wow! What a beautiful place this is! Everything is bright , shiny and new. My wife and I were celebrating our 25th Wedding Anniversary and also still in the grieving process of the loss of our adult son. We needed time to get away and celebrate us and at the same time have both the freedom to just break down and cry and also the freedom to laugh, reminisce about our last 25 years and remember our son. Pigeon Forge was his absolute favorite place on Earth so what better place right. We had an awesome treat as each day there was at least one bear that made an appearance, each coming up to within 25ish feet of the cabin. The next to last night we had an extremely large bear come while we were getting out of the car. He didn't care a bit that we were watching him eat, so we safely took an amazing video. Great, great memories made! You guys are awesome ! Thanks for the great communication! Keep AIMING HIGH! You are gonna do great things! Brian and Lori

Beautiful cabin with a beautiful view. Walking into the cabin feels so inviting, relaxing and fun. The view of the mountains was breathtaking and the amenities provided by the cabin made the stay and experience unforgettable, along with the hosts of the cabin being so helpful with helping to propose to my now fiance. Will absolutely book here again!
