This house is very clean and spacious. Kitchen has plenty of pots pans, cooking utensils, etc. Communication with management was easy. We decided halfway through our stay that we wanted to stay an extra day and they had it all worked out within minutes. We had two full families with kids and grandkids plenty to do for all ages.Hot tub was clean and had a great temperature. We would definitely stay here again!

Knotty Pines was the perfect cabin for our group of pickleball ladies. The house was beautiful and had everything we needed for our three night stay. We loved that the pickleball court was so close to the house. The hosts took great care of us and answered any questions we had quickly. We highly recommend Knotty Pines and we will be back!

Paul was an incredible host who was communicative, flexible, helpful, and kind. The house was perfectly stocked with all the things we needed to cook for a weekend. The sport court and creek in the back kept our kids entertained for hours. Would absolutely stay here again!!

Our Knotty Pines experience was a blast! We couldn’t have asked for better hosts than Rhonda and Paul! They provided lots of information to us and responded promptly for questions I had. The home was very clean, large and comfortable bedrooms, fantastic and roomy kitchen, and everything we needed The home was perfect for our large family and so many fun things to do inside and outside. We sat around the fire pit and sang karaoke, had s’mores, and did a lot of laughing. Everyone said it was one of the best trips we have had in a long time. I would definitely recommend Knotty Pines for your get away vacation stay. My 5 year old granddaughter said “can we come back here again.” I will definitely considered Knotty Pines for my future stay! Thanks for a great time!

Perfect Get Away
We had easy communication with the host and their details about the property made the stay even better. There was space for our older guests to have quiet rooms away from the kids. The bunks were safe for the kids. We enjoyed the kitchen and all of the outside space.

Perfect getaway
We absolutely loved the spaciousness of Knotty Pines lodge, the bedrooms were very nice and comfortable, and the loft and the outdoors had plenty of activities to keep our group engaged. It was in a location where we felt secluded enough during our stay but also had several towns close enough for a couple outings for the group that were fun!

A most serene retreat
I have been using Vrbo for quite a while and can honestly say this may have been one of the greatest stays my friends and I have had. The place was very clean and offered so much that we never really had to leave the place. It gave us the sense of a home away from home. Truly thankful for the owners as well for being so kind and giving clear instructions and even some recommendations on the places we should go!5/5 Would stay here again and planning on it!
