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. See for yourself: Book your stay today!

The Log Home was excactly what we wanted. Even though there were 5 of us we really enjoyed the spacious home.The views were fantistic. Great to be just outside of Gatlinburg but close enough to visit.The cleanliness rating was only for the cookware, the rest of the property was great. The game room and hot tub was well utilized.

Knotty Squirrel is a beautiful cabin & the view is gorgeous. Cabin was exactly what we expected for a stay in Gatlinburg for the week & even a couple bear visits right on the property. We had a couple issues that needed to be addressed & the maintenance crew acted on very quickly. Highly recommend the his cabin.

It looked to go to be true online but I was not disappointed. The kitchen was spacious and very well equipped. The view was incredible and it was very private. After a busy day of touring gatlinburg and pigeon forge we always came back to play games in the game room. I cannot recommend this property enough.

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.

This cabin has amazing views and is very spacious. We spent many mornings sitting out on the deck and taking in the greenery. We spotted a brown bear walking around the neighborhood a couple of times but it didn't bother us at all and we really liked the atmosphere The only downside of the property is that the sound carries through the whole space very easily. We had a group of friends and many

Very glad we decided to go with the Knotty Squirrel for our family vacation. Plenty of things to do in the cabin as a group, but also plenty of space to spread out for some privacy if desired. And the view is gorgeous from the back deck! We also loved being greeted by numerous bears throughout our stay! If i had to make any suggestions they would be to provide several more towels (both bath and kitchen), consider replacing the couch downstairs (it's starting to sit very low), try to get more light in certain areas of the bedrooms, and be sure the cleaning personnel get the floor well especially underneath furniture (we pulled out previous tenants' water bottles from under the couch). All in all, had a great stay and would definitely use this cabin again!

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.

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.
