About this cabin rental
Welcome to Knotty Squirrel! Photos don’t do justice to the beauty of the mountains visible from the decks of Knotty Squirrel. Nor do they fully depict how spacious and lovely Knotty Squirrel itself is. Furnished in true refined rustic style, the 5-bedroom log home can sleep 15 people among its 3 floors. It offers plenty of spaces large enough to accommodate the whole gang and then some. Knotty Squirrel is located in Gatlinburg’s private Cobbly Nob neighborhood, part of a 1,000-acre resort. When you stay here in the summer you’ll have free access to 2 pool areas (approximately a 10 minute drive), and year-round you can stroll among the neighborhood's walking trails. As you gaze out at the woodlands and mountains you’ll feel far from the crowd. Yet the lodge is just a short drive from the Gatlinburg Arts & Crafts Loop and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The attractions of downtown Gatlinburg are a 20 minute drive. And here’s a bonus for any golfers in your group: At the foot of Cobbly Nob, less than 10 minutes from Knotty Squirrel, is Bent Creek Golf Course, designed by Masters and British Open champion Gary Player. We have one of the best unobstructed views in the area but please be advised that there are some sharp, steep roads leading to our cabin. As owners, we have not ever had an issue making the trip up. Snowy weather can be tricky so please plan accordingly if you'd like to book with us in winter. A large game room makes up most of the lower level, and it’s packed with options for whiling away a rainy day (or a sunny one, for that matter): pool and ping-pong tables, foosball, tabletop shuffleboard, and a TV. There is a set of twin bunkbeds in the game room area for additional sleeping. There is also a bedroom with a king-sized bed and double futon with an attached full bathroom on the lower level. A larger TV can be found in the den on the top floor. Furnished with comfy seating, this room also a bistro table where you can play cards, work on jigsaw puzzles. Yet another TV and all-around gathering space is the living room on the main floor. With its luxe leather sofas, cushioned wicker-style armchairs, and stone-surround fireplace, the living room is a particularly elegant place to watch TV or read. Equally elegant is the dining area. At least twelve people can sit comfortably at the table, and another two can sidle up to the adjacent breakfast bar. Even if you planned to eat most of your meals at one of the myriad nearby restaurants, once you see Knotty Squirrel’s kitchen you might change your mind. After all, it’s always more fun to cook in someone else’s kitchen, especially one as well-equipped and spacious. Three of the five bedrooms are upstairs, with the master bedroom on the main floor. The lushly furnished master suite includes a king-size bed and a glamorous bathroom with both a shower and a soaking tub. Two of the upstairs bedrooms have queen-size beds; with their sloped walls, raftered ceilings, and stunning views, they’re exceptionally charming. One of these bedrooms even has French doors that open onto a balcony. The 4th bedroom will delight the kids with its bunk beds and a built-in nook that has another twin bed. The lower level fifth bedroom has a king-sized bed and double futon . There is a set of twin bunks in the game room area. And let’s not forget about Knotty Squirrel’s spacious decks. The lower deck is home to the hot tub, sure to be a popular spot for admiring the mountain view—especially after a day spent hiking, biking, or whitewater rafting. The wraparound upper deck has plenty of seating so that everyone can bask in the sunshine, the crisp mountain breeze, and the singing of chickadees in the morning and whip-poor-wills at night. Please note that we have 5 new smart TV's available to use with your favorite streaming service. This means live TV may not be available depending on which streaming service you personally subscribe to. TV's are located in the main level living room and master bedroom. Upstairs there is a TV in the loft area, and in the lower level game room., and lower level bedroom. Knotty Squirrel is a special getaway for a special vacation.

The hosts were amazing to work with! The pictures do not give this place justice. The cabin was absolutely beautiful. Rooms are very spacious, fully stocked kitchen. Great views. Awesome game room even for adults!
There was 10 of us who stayed in this cabin.

Plenty of room for everyone with beautiful gas fireplace. Towels were small and scratchy and no large towels for hottub. Fantastic play room downstairs with lots of games to play.
5.0
This cabin was spacious and top quality. Plenty of beds/seating for a large group. The views really are that beautiful. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook a big meal, and the gameroom was entertaining for our group of adults. The layout of the cabin was great, everyone could mingle or find solitude.
The hot tub cover was mauled by a bear, and there were muddy bear footprints around the porch, but we never saw the bear at the cabin during our stay. We did keep all of our trash inside (no dumpster at the house) until the end of our stay but that was no big deal.
We would most definitely consider staying at this cabin again to celebrate friendsgiving!

This property had the most spectacular views of all the cabins that we have ever stayed at. It was spacious and had lots of space to congregate and hang out. The kitchen is huge and has everything you need for all of us to be in there together, getting what we needed and cooking. I saw a little bear from the porch while having my coffee. Would definitely stay here again.

This mountain home is beautiful! We had a great time relaxing on the porch and taking in the views. The daily visits from the bears were looked forward to. We enjoyed the shopping, hiking, and of course the evenings in front of the fireplace. We would definitely stay again. The house had everything we needed to enjoy a relaxing getaway with friends.

6 of stayed at Cabin. The Cabin was awesome and clean. We were able to find the cabin easily. The check out was a little confusing on what to do with the trash. But over all we enjoyed our stay at the Knotty Squirrel.

The cabin has amazing views and is absolutely beautiful. We had an amazing stay and will probably look at staying again. We spend nights out on the deck or in the hot tub which was very nice. I would say prepare yourself for the drive up to the cabin once you get to the golf course however because that first time is a bit scary, one lane, steep and hair pin turns, it's fine after the first time up. :) Two of us were from Indiana and Florida, we are not used to those kinds of inclines or turns lol.

Great cabin with a fabulous location. We had initial issues with some cleanliness but I call that out because Laura and the property managers jumped in immediately to correct. Outstanding service and appreciated. We were greeted by bears several times on the trip which was fascinating and enjoyed the space and large kitchen for gathering at meal time. I will say, using the grill increased the frequency of the bear visits but we really had a great time and would absolutely come back. Thank you.

We lived staying at Knotty Squirrel! The house was the perfect home base for the Gatlinburg area and made it easy to come and go from all the areas many attractions. We had everything that we needed. The property owners were easy to communicate with. We had 4 kids, 2 teens, 2 couples and a senior citizen and we all felt that we had plenty of space and privacy. The views from the wrap around porch are amazing!

We stayed for a week in June. The group included my family and my sister's family, so 4 adults and 7 kids ages 4-16. We arrived a bit late thanks to some traffic delays but check in was still easy. The house is beautiful and very clean. The first impression from everyone was great and the view is amazing. We are from a very flat place, so the drive up the mountain was a bit daunting, but after going up and down again it seemed fine. We had a lot of rain, so we got to enjoy the game room and spend time at the house. We even saw a couple bear cubs one evening. We did try the community pool on the dry day and it was underwhelming. It was small, crowded and cold. The only negatives I would mention about the house are the towels, they are thin, hard and scarce. They were inconsistent with the luxurious feel of the home in general. We needed a few more and I got nicer ones at family dollar for $6 each. Also, just a note for larger groups like ours, the design of the home with everything being wood makes it so you can hear every sound everywhere in the house. If you are a family on a similar schedule, this wouldn't be an issue. For us it was a minor inconvenience since the smaller kids were up early and the teenagers would have liked to have slept. Just the young ones scampering around being relatively quiet was quite loud where the older ones were in the basement. Those things aside, I would definitely recommend the property.

From the start this cabin impressed. It’s huge!! The pictures don’t do it justice.

This cabin is incredible. The pictures really don't do it justice. The view from the back porch is one of the best I've ever seen. The 6 of us were in town for a bachelor party, and we would have been fine just relaxing at the cabin all weekend. The game room is a blast, and the kitchen/grill has everything you need.

This property has amazing views, is spacious inside and the owner/property maintenance is responsive. This is a great property for folks who like quiet and away from the tourism hustle & bustle in Gaitlinburg & Pigeon Forge. There are some great hiking trails about a10 minute drive toward Cosby & if you want to embrace the tourist venue then it is about a 20 minute drive into town. We enjoyed our stay and recommend this property for others.

This place is fantastic, it sits high in the mountains. It snowed while we were there which made for some pretty pictures. The cabin sleeps 12 people comfortably. We were there to celebrate our friends birthday and during our morning worship some healing took place and then the engaged couple on the trip decided to get married. The cabin was perfect for all of the planned and unplanned events this weekend. In a word .... AMAZING!!!

We have stayed here before. This is a beautiful cabin with a great view of the Smokies!

We were a group of 10. There was plenty of room around the dining table for all of us, which was certainly nice, and there were plenty of sleeping options. (Two women who planned to sleep on the lower level got scared after we saw bears outside that level, so they moved upstairs!) The drive up the hill to the house always felt dangerous to me, since the hairpin turns were much sharper than the ones I’m used to on mountains in Arkansas. But once I got to the house, saw its coziness and the beauty of the mountains, it always felt worth it. The dishwasher stopped working the first night, but the property manager and owner were easy to reach and worked to get someone to fix it. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our days there.

Amazing location and get away home
This house is everything it was advertised to be and more. It was super clean with breath taking views and had everything that was needed to take car of my family. I would rent again in the future.

Beautiful home
The home is perfect for a family gathering with spectacular views. Anytime we had a question it was quickly answered. I do wish they had a notebook with directions for using the tv and thermostat. The essentials supplied could have been more generous especially the soaps. Be sure to bring your own including laundry detergent. The dishwasher broke so we had to do our own dishes for 8 guests. It was replaced the day we left. We also couldn’t use the master bedroom shower for 4 days but we’re reimbursed our cleaning fee. I do suggest the cleaning people sweep the deck and doorways.

Absolutely gorgeous!
We had such a wonderful time at Knotty Squirrel. The views were amazing. The house was well stocked and the perfect size. Great communication with the owners. Easy checkin and checkout. Hot tub and game room were a great bonus. Excellent VRBO experience. We will be back for sure!

Can't beat the view!
My family and I stayed here during Memorial Day weekend. We couldn't have been any happier--the property was everything we had asked for and we hated leaving! The view is stunning and peaceful, and the cabin itself is gorgeous. The kids loved the basement; they could play ping-pong, billiards, foosball, and of course, relax in the hot tub. We didn't see any bears; however, they definitely visited because they opened the gas grill after we cooked out and inspected the hot tub! The drive up to the house is steep but manageable. Would highly recommend staying at Knotty Squirrel!

Views were exceptional and home was lovely. As advised, road up the mountain was tad scarry. Home cleanliness needs attention. Windows, blinds, floors and walls had lots of dust. Kitchen skillet and bread pans taken out of the cabinet had to be washed before use. Main floor bed sheets kept coming off corners--need deep pocket sheets. Main floor shower had to stones missing on floor and a third one loose.. I assume you are aware of carpenter bees working on the home deck area. Final point, we had no problem taking trash to containers, but because of all the rain had to walk through some mud to do so--could use a little gravel. This main sound picky, but we did enjoy are time at your home. Thanks for making it available for us.
