Description

Looking for a semi-private retreat in the Smoky Mountain woods, where you can bring the whole family? Knotty and Nice is a great cabin choice for you. This 1-bedroom, 2-bath cabin is nestled among maples, elms, and oaks for that private mountain getaway you’ve been looking for. Although this cozy wood cabin only comes with 1 bedroom, you can sleep up to 6 guests inside. So bring the kids, a few friends, or just enjoy the extra space inside Knotty and Nice as you relax in your home away from home in the Smokies.

Located less than 7 miles from downtown Pigeon Forge, this cozy cabin features a selection of entertaining amenities for your week or weekend away in the woods. Play a game on the pool table or enjoy a soothing soak in your outdoor hot tub. This cabin also comes with an arcade game, a wraparound deck, a charcoal grill, and a gas fireplace for full days of relaxation and fun. Whether you’re coming for a quiet vacation in the Smokies or to attend a special event in nearby Pigeon Forge, Knotty and Nice offers the best of the Smoky Mountain atmosphere while staying close to the adventures of downtown.

Living Room
Inside Knotty and Nice, expect to find comfortable living spaces with plenty of room for your group of 6 guests. The living room is one of the first spaces you’ll come to, and you’ll immediately love the vaulted ceilings and large windows covering the back wall of this cabin.

Plenty of natural light spills in from the Smokies to brighten up this space and draw attention to the cozy quarters inside. Relax on the sofa, set your drink on a nearby table, and get cozy in front of the gas fireplace that reaches to the ceiling. Curl up in front of the fire with loved ones during a fall getaway, or you can spend time together watching a favorite DVD or VHS tape on the big screen TV mounted in the corner. Knotty and Nice provides access to a DVD player, VCR, and CD player during your stay, so you won’t need to worry about finding entertainment for a rainy day while you’re in the Smokies!

Kitchen
A getaway to Pigeon Forge isn’t complete without visiting some of the area’s popular restaurants, and with your group, you should also plan for a night on the town at one of Pigeon Forge’s favorite dinner shows. Dolly Parton’s Stampede immediately comes to mind, but that’s not the only Smoky Mountain show worth checking out during your stay.

When it’s time to head back to the cabin with your box of leftovers, simply store them away in the full-size refrigerator found in Knotty and Nice. This cabin’s kitchen also comes with a microwave where you can reheat those leftovers for a midnight snack, an oven/stove where you can cook homemade meals throughout the day, and more!

Take advantage of staying in a Pigeon Forge cabin by making omelets for breakfast or spreading out a selection of breads, meats, and cheeses for lunch. Inside the Knotty and Nice kitchen, you should be able to find your basic supplies for cooking—and even a few extras, like a Keurig coffeemaker!

Dining Room
A rustic wood dining set awaits you in the dining room inside Knotty and Nice. This table offers place settings for 6, though the cabin is open enough to accommodate extra guests in the living room without separating your group. With the simple yet modern light fixture overhead and twin windows on either side, this dining room makes for a quiet place to get away in the Smokies while enjoying homemade meals in the intimacy of just your group.

If your stay at Knotty and Nice is an occasion to celebrate, try having a meal delivered to your cabin instead—or request one of our romantic gift baskets. Be sure to ask our reservation specialists about all the special add-ons we have available during your Pigeon Forge stay.

Rec Room | Loft
A rainy day in the Smoky Mountain woods need not be a boring one when you stay at Knotty and Nice. This cabin’s rec room, located at the top of the stairs, functions as a perfect hangout space for a rainy afternoon, a chilly morning, or a fun-filled evening in the cabin. Play hours of pool on your full-size pool table in this space or take turns on the arcade system in the corner.

There’s also a small table for cards, board games, or keeping drinks on hand while you’re between shots. The rec room of Knotty and Nice also functions as a loft/separate sleeping space during your stay. The twin bunk found in this room works well for kids or single guests traveling with your group. And those guests will have direct porch access in the mornings when they want to soak in that Smoky Mountain sun!

Bedroom
The large bedroom inside Knotty and Nice is perfect for a couple’s getaway—or for the parents in charge of coordinating a Pigeon Forge vacation for the kids! With its king-size bed and big screen TV, this bedroom provides exactly what you need to unwind after long days of Smoky Mountain fun.

The bedroom comes with log-style furniture, an updated ceiling fan, a side table, and a modern reading lamp. There are also a couple windows that let in perfect amounts of natural light to nudge you awake in the mornings. Besides the king-size bed and twin bunk set in the loft, Knotty and Nice offers a sleeper sofa, where 2 other guests can stay. Total, the 2 bathrooms and variety of sleeping spaces in this cabin provide comfortable accommodations for 6.

Outdoor Spaces
The tree-studded hills of the Smokies surround Knotty and Nice for a truly private feel even though this cabin is located less than 7 miles from downtown Pigeon Forge. During your stay, you’ll be able to kick back on a rocking chair or take a relaxing soak in your outdoor hot tub. The hot tub overlooks the Smoky Mountain trees with a wooden screen on one side so you can soak in privacy.

There’s also a charcoal grill on the wraparound deck at Knotty and Nice. Plan for a barbecue night with the family, especially if you are planning a visit around Memorial Day or July 4th. These are great times to visit the Smokies because you’ll have the chance to check out various events only in town for the holiday, like the Midnight Parade that takes place every Fourth of July in Gatlinburg.

*The driveway to Knotty and Nice is steep and can be difficult for some vehicles. Four-wheel drive is recommended.

Knotty and Nice is a charming cabin in the Smokies that certainly has its perks.

  • "It was the cutest cabin up in the mountains. I would recommend this to everyone!!"

  • "We stayed in the cabin knotty n nice and it was a great experience. The mountain views from the porch swing were absolutely beautiful and would recommend this cabin to any small family who is in need of some piece and quiet."

  • "Great location. Fun cabin!!! Loved the fire pit!"

  • "Cabin was very clean and cozy. It's in a good location with great views from the wrap around porch! They have golfing, fishing, park and a pool available at this location. Would be a great summer time rental!"

  • "Great cabin up on a mountain. The view is good, a little woodsy but you can see from almost every angle of the property. The inside of the cabin is beautiful. GREAT GREAT location and lovely amenities within the resort. We’d definitely stay again!"

  • "Amazing cabin. Our family had a great vacation. Thank you for having us."

  • "The cabin was in a beautiful spot, pretty secluded. We felt very at home and so comfortable we even decided to stay an extra day! We definitely enjoyed ourselves and have discussed coming back soon!"

  • "We truly enjoyed our stay at the cabin. The kitchen was stocked with a standard coffee pot and a keurig. . . . . nice option! Plenty of paper towels and bath towels also. Definitely appreciated that as we stayed for more than just the weekend. The view is amazing. The drive up is steep . . . . might be slippery when wet or with snow. We had an all wheel drive SUV and no problem making it up the winding roads to the top of the hill to this cabin."

  • "We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cabin was beautiful just as pictured. A short drive to the strip in Pigeon Forge and not far from Gatlinburg. It had every thing we needed and gave us privacy and peace. We look forward to visiting again."

  • "Had a great time at the Knoty and Nice cabin . It was well furnished for our needs and the jacuzzi at the end of the day was the best. The drive to the cabin is definitely interesting but manageable even in our Tahoe. If you plan on barbecuing make sure to bring matches as we had difficulty with our butane lighter but manage with it . There is plenty of fun in the area and food."

  • "We absolutely loved our stay in the Knotty & nice cabin. It was spotless & we loved the location even though it was challenging to find in the dark but we easily adjusted to our cabin in the woods & we loved the privacy."

  • "Mattress in master bedroom was not comfortable. Sheets also did not fit the bed. Driveway is a shared driveway that made it a little confusing the first night. Otherwise, the house was great for our family of 4. Granted we mainly were only there at night to sleep. Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge is always busy but Wears Valley has some great little restaurants."
