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. 

Other Amenities
Knotty and Nice is a charming cabin in the Smokies that certainly has its perks. This cabin offers high-speed wireless internet for its guests, making it easy to stream videos, catch up on emails, or keep up with the latest Smoky Mountain travel tips and event info on our Cabins for YOU blog. This cabin also offers access to a washer and dryer as well as an indoor jetted tub. Make the most of your Pigeon Forge getaway by booking an all-inclusive cabin like Knotty and Nice!

Local Fun

If you’re looking for a semi-private cabin that’s not too far from the fun of downtown, Knotty and Nice is a great choice for you. Leave the cabin amenities behind for a bit while you venture the less-than-7-mile drive to Pigeon Forge. There, you’ll find plenty of ways to have fun as a couple or with the entire family at attractions like these:

Smoky Mountain Ziplines
Kids and adults will love zipping through the trees for an adrenaline rush and gorgeous views. Get out in nature and fly high above at Smoky Mountain Ziplines!

Tanger Outlet Sevierville 
If you have back-to-school shopping to do or want to get a head start on your holiday list, head to the Tanger Outlets in Sevierville. Located close to Pigeon Forge, this outlet mall provides all your favorite name-brand products at discount prices.

NASCAR SpeedPark
NASCAR SpeedPark offers unlimited wristbands for a full day of riding go-karts, playing in the arcade, mini-golf, bumper boats, and more! Check it out for yourself when you bring your family to Pigeon Forge.

Please note this property is not pet friendly — including service animals. Check out our pet-friendly vacation rentals if you're planning to bring fur babies to the Smokies!

Pleasant

One element on the cook stove was broken. Other than those inconveniences we had a great time.

Monique
Over all it was a great experience. The bed was not the best, shower heads should've been cleaned, shower water pressure wasn't the best. Also, the washer had a weird smell and had problems with dryer. But other than that, it was a nice stay with a beautiful view. Would stay there again.
Response from Cabins for You
Thanks so much for sharing your experience—it's really helpful. We’re genuinely sorry about the issues with the bed, shower, and laundry setup, and we’ll make sure those are looked into right away. It means a lot that you still enjoyed your stay and the view despite those hiccups. We truly appreciate you choosing us and would love to welcome you back anytime.

Great getaway in the woods

Overall a great place. Great location and secluded. We wanted some peace and quiet, and we got it. It was a little hard to find when its dark, very steep roads and the gravel driveway was covered with leaves. It was almost impossible to see. Showerhead downstairs could be changed since water pressure was poor. TV by the hottub did not work. Qould be nice to have at least a stack of firewood to start with.
Response from Cabins for You
Thank you for sharing your feedback! We're thrilled to hear the location provided the peace and quiet you were hoping for. We truly appreciate your suggestions about the driveway, showerhead, TV, and firewood—these will be carefully considered as we continuously strive to improve. Your insights help us ensure that future stays are even better, and we’re grateful for your thoughtful comments.

Response from Cabins for You
We're so glad to hear you enjoyed the secluded feel while still being close to the main strip. It sounds like you made the most of the activities, from pickleball to the community pool. We love that you found so much to do and had a great time. We can't wait to welcome you back for more adventures!

Our family of 4 had a great stay during spring break. The cabin was clean and matched the description. it felt private and was quiet.
We were suprised to find there were no extra garbage bags. The oven needs some love, the numbers are worn off the dials so you can't see what your setting the temp to or what burner your turning on. The burners are also warped/bent so pans can't sit flat on the range. If you plan to cook at the cabin you might consider that before booking.
Response from Cabins for You
We really appreciate your feedback about the cabin's amenities, and we'll look into updating those appliances to enhance comfort for future visits, Jessica. It's wonderful to hear that your family enjoyed the privacy and tranquility during your stay!

Ashlee
When we first walked through the cabin we noticed hair from the previous guests still on shower walls and in the drains, the hot tub was not the cleanest and had a very musty unpleasant smell, the stove only had one burner that was working, the jetted tub did not work and the coffee maker felt sticky so we did not use it.
The location is beautiful with beautiful views! It was quiet and peaceful and only a 15 minute drive into town with lots of activities! Despite our cons list we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!
Response from Cabins for You
Ashlee, we truly value you sharing your experience, and I'm sorry to hear about the issues you encountered. We appreciate you highlighting the beauty and tranquility of the location, and it’s great to know you still had a wonderful time. We're looking into the concerns you mentioned to ensure everything is in top shape for our guests.

Response from Cabins for You
We're delighted to hear that your family enjoyed the cabin's amenities and had a memorable time together, Sarah. It's wonderful to know that the secluded location still offers easy access to all the fun activities nearby. Looking forward to welcoming you all back for another fantastic stay!

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.
Response from Cabins for You
Ashley, while we're glad to hear that you and your guests enjoyed your stay at Knotty and Nice, we regret to hear that you experienced any inconveniences during your stay. While we would have loved to send someone out to take a look at any issues you may have encountered, we were not made aware of anything until now. We have shared your concerns with the appropriate departments to ensure that this matter is looked into, and we would love to have the opportunity to host you again in the near future!

This was mine and my wife's first air BnB rental , and I will have to say. it was definitely perfect and was an amazing getaway for our anniversary/family vacation . Our kids loved it as well. Bunk bed was a big hit for them. was up in the mountains with peace and quiet, was a little hard to find sign for cabin was tucked up in road way a bit, would be nice if it was right on main roadway with arrow pointing , as i drove past where i needed to turn and ended up at a different cabin. Other than that, I have no complaints about this rental and will definitely be telling people about Cabins For You rentals. We will be back and for a longer period of time

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 stayed here for a week as our honeymoon. It is a great location. Close to town but also you feel secluded in a mountain at the cabin. We loved the hot tub. Beautiful view of the sunset. The only thing we didn’t like was that the arcade game does not work and the stove/oven need updated. We couldn’t really cook in the oven at all because the numbers for preheat have been worn off. We also had noisy neighbors haha. We couldn’t see them but we could hear them! Other than that, we loved this place.

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!

The cabin is nice. My kids liked it and were excited that there was bunk beds, pool table and the arcade game and hot tub. Only issue. When we went to check in at 4, the cabin had not been cleaned it was left as whoever was there before us. We called and let them know it needed to be cleaned. They told us check in was at 4 but not guaranteed until 6. We drove 7 hours to get here. Ok so we asked so by 6 it will be cleaned. She replied we cannot make any promises. **If you say checkin is at 4 and GUARANTEED by 6 then you should keep your company’s word. We went to a few shops and and got dinner. Got back to the cabin at 6:45 and they are just now here cleaning the cabin. Very unprofessional. We’ve stayed with Cabins for You before and not had this issue. Hoping if we chose this company again we won’t have the same problem.

Great location had a great time with my family would recommend, need to replace the worn out couch and replace the trash can on the outside to prevent animals from getting into and making a mess.
