--Book now for Fall!-- 5+ BR Log Home, Amazing View, Hot tub, Game Room

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. One of the upstairs bedrooms has a king and the other has a queen-sized bed; 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!
