We loved our stay. It was close to the strip yet secluded. Beautiful view. Huge hot tub. My kids loved it.

We loved the cabin. It is a beautiful place to stay, and close to everything, although it seems so far away when you're there. The only thing we were disappointed about was the pool table. It had a broken leg, though it would stand evenly enough and the pool sticks were poor quality with no chalk. Otherwise, a dream to stay at!

Knotty and Nice has the best amenities! My friend and I just visited for 4 days last week and out cabin was gorgeous! Perfect location (albeit the giant scary mountain!) But to be perfectly honest, the scenery was so amazing. To wake up to those beautiful views and the peace and quiet that came along with it, was the best experience ever! I can't sat enough amazing things about Pigeon Forge! 10/10 recommend!

The cabin is great for what we needed and pet friendly. Nice view of the city lights from the loft master suite at night. The view from the entry deck is of the driveway. There are lots of steps to enter the cabin so unloading can be tiresome depending on how much you bring and if you have help. The best view is from The main level were the living room, kitchen, and pool table are. Here on the deck, you have a long range mountain view with a closer view of the city as is the view from the loft master bedroom. Treetops partially block some of the view at this level. The cleanliness of the cabin needs improvement. Floors swept but, not very clean. After a small water spill I cleaned an area of the pine floor with a paper towel and got allot of surface dirt aside from the water. The jets in the inside whirlpool (master bedroom) were disgusting and had green mold/algae around them. I cleaned each one with a Clorox wipe and brush so the whirlpool could be used. It took me about 20 minutes. If they were cleaned correctly after each guest this could have been avoided. Did not check the Jacuzzi as I did not go in. The road up to the cabin is steep with green algae on the driveway which isn't a problem but, just to mention, it could get slippery in wet winter weather. We made it up with no problem in 2 wheel drive although 4 wheel drive is suggested for snowy weather. The bridge across to get to the cabin is narrow (1 vehicle at a time). Good privacy, you can see a few other cabins about an acre apart and at different levels so still very private. Jacuzzi is private and tucked away at the side of the main level. Stacked washer and dryer is in lower level in a closet in the "movie room". This is also were you enter the cabin. This level also has a game room containing foozeball and air hockie and a full bath (shower&tub). Check in was convenient with cabin company calling at check in time to give us the entry code.

Very nice cabin. The lighting could use improvement in the game room. Also could use a upgrade and functioning TV in the lower level. Overall very nice and suited all our needs.

Disappointed there were no separate rooms. The only rooms that had doors on them were bathrooms and the game room. Great Views though.
