We loved the ease of accessibility, the streamlined check-in and the house. It is a drive to town, but there is a very small general store with espresso, beer, and a small selection of items to purchase. ##### Pastor Sara Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Adrianna S.

Knotty by Nature is such a cute and cozy cabin! We spent Thanksgiving week here and we had the best time! We enjoyed walking the neighborhood and enjoyed looking at all the cute cabins and just being in nature. But mostly we loved being cozied up by the fire playing games and relaxing! ##### Cristy R. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Deanna M. Nov 27, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great quiet cabin This cabin is beautiful, clean and well stocked. It’s on a private lane which makes it quiet and seem remote. But there is a super cute market a very short walk away and a bar and grill less than a mile. It has a huge back yard which we didn’t use much since there was a lot of snow. But we did use the nice big deck with heat lamps. Lots of hikes near by and fun caverns to visit. ##### Deanna M. Stayed 8 nights in Nov 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rachel E. Jan 24, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family Fun A true cabin tucked away in a rustic neighborhood. Love the character of the surrounding houses and this house! You can tell it’s been taken care of and updated! Nice amenities and very clean. Keep in mind that it’s on a dirt one lane road and creates a little bit of dust (or mud in our case). Love the location though. ##### Rachel E.
