Description

Head down the stairs and into the Smoky Mountain woods where a cozy cabin — full of convenient extras and fun — awaits in peaceful Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. With 2 queen bedrooms, a rec loft with a twin bunk, and 2 full bathrooms, Knotty Desire can accommodate up to 6 guests comfortably. This Pigeon Forge cabin is a great choice for not only romantic retreats but also mountain getaways with close friends, your family, or a few couples. 

Outfitted with exciting amenities, this Pigeon Forge cabin features arcade games, a DVD player, and swimming pool access in Eagle Springs Resort! Outside, there are multiple deck spaces with rocking chairs, a hot tub, a bistro table, and serene wooded views. Unwind with a book in the fresh mountain air, soak away your worries and cares anytime, and enjoy coffee with your partner among the treetops. There’s even a gas grill for fun cookouts in the Smokies! 

Add a cozy interior, a full kitchen, a wood-burning fireplace, free Wi-Fi, a washer/dryer, and self check-in with keyless entry, and you’ll have everything you need to relax and unwind on your Pigeon Forge vacation with loved ones. Plus, this Smoky Mountain cabin rental is only 10 miles from downtown Pigeon Forge, so you’ll have access to all the fun of Smoky Mountain attractions — like The Island, The Incredible Christmas Place, TopJump, Outdoor Gravity Park, and the Gatlinburg Golf Course — while you enjoy your “Knotty” cabin in the trees.

Living Room
Warm, cozy, and comfortable perfectly describe your Pigeon Forge vacation home, beginning in the large living room. The warm wood walls and carpeted floors offer you a relaxing space to unwind after your long drive to Pigeon Forge and days of adventuring downtown. Plus, it’s outfitted with authentic Smoky Mountain décor — including pictures of the symbol of the Smokies, the American Black Bear.

Lounge on the leather sofa or curl up with your partner on the matching loveseat to watch a DVD on the TV. You can play games on the large coffee table or swap stories in front of the stone, wood-burning fireplace — the ideal place to relax on a chilly evening in the Great Smoky Mountains. And you can spot the lofty trees through the windows any day!

Kitchen
With an open concept, you can see the living room and dining area while preparing food and drinks from the fully equipped kitchen at your Pigeon Forge cabin rental. You’ll have major appliances — including a full-size refrigerator, oven, stove, and microwave. Coffee lovers will appreciate the standard drip coffeemaker. And there’s plenty of cabinet space to store favorite treats!

When you get to the heart of Pigeon Forge, we recommend stopping at The Old Mill Farmhouse Kitchen, where you can find stone-ground flour, jams, and jellies to enjoy during your Smoky Mountain retreat. You can plan for easy group meals in the cabin for breakfast and delicious dinners at favorite Smoky Mountain restaurants — bringing back leftovers for later in your full kitchen.

Dining Area
Ready to sit down for a meal, board game, or friendly chat? Gather around the wooden dining table just off the kitchen at your cabin rental in the Smokies. For more space, spread out to the sofas or take your plate just outside. There’s also a large window over the door to the porch that lets in tons of natural light! And after days amidst the hustle and bustle of downtown Pigeon Forge, you’ll be ready for some quiet meals in the cabin on your family vacation or mountain retreat with friends.

Rec Loft
Just upstairs is the rec loft — aka the game room — at your fun log cabin in Pigeon Forge! For hours of fun together, hang out and play arcade games. This cool rec space also has a twin bunk — perfect for kids or extra guests on your Smoky Mountain getaway — and large, floor-to-ceiling windows that offer views of the trees year-round.

Best of all, the loft boasts a private porch with a small sitting area that comes with 2 deck chairs and a small table. Enjoy a quiet place for reading in the mornings or sipping your favorite glass of Smoky Mountain wine in the evenings. Note: for some of the best wine in the Smokies, we recommend a visit to Tennessee’s largest winery, the Mountain Valley Winery, on the Rocky Top Wine Trail.

Bedrooms
Between adventures in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, exciting times at the Smoky Mountain Bigfoot Conference, or shopping sprees at The Mountain Mile, kick back at your 2-bedroom cabin in Pigeon Forge. Each bedroom has a beautiful sleigh bed fitting a queen-size mattress, a mounted TV, side-by-side windows, and a full en-suite bathroom — with plenty of space to get ready in the mornings and unwind in the evenings. With the additional twin-over-twin bunk in the loft, accommodations at this Pigeon Forge vacation rental sleep 6. 

Outdoor Spaces
Set among the Smoky Mountain trees, Knotty Desire welcomes YOU to spend some time soaking in the sights and sounds of the great outdoors during your stay. Multiple decks offer a mix of rockers, deck chairs, and small tables for snacks and drinks. And you’ll have the beauty of the tree-studded Smokies right at your fingertips!

You can catch some Zs in the fresh mountain air on the suspended hammock. Sway in the rockers with a good book and a close friend. Fire up the gas grill for mountain cookouts with loved ones. And for the ultimate way to relax, unwind in the steamy hot tub with water jets.

Other Amenities
To make your Smoky Mountain vacation even more convenient and fun, your Pigeon Forge rental features extra amenities. Use the free Wi-Fi to keep up with our Smoky Mountain vacation blog. We regularly post up-to-date information on Smoky Mountain events and attractions so you can make the most of your visit to Pigeon Forge. Keyless entry makes self check-in and checkout at the property super simple. You’ll also have a washer and dryer to use as needed.

Community Amenities
Bonus: Knotty Desire offers FREE swimming pool access in Eagle Springs Resort — a must-have during late spring and summer! Splashing with the kids or sipping drinks poolside is the perfect way to beat the heat with your group and make special memories in the Smoky Mountains. There’s also a picnic pavilion if you’d like more space for your family barbecue or cookout with friends.

Local Fun
When you're ready for more fun, take a 10-mile drive to Pigeon Forge shops, Appalachian restaurants, seasonal events, and Parkway attractions, like theme parks, water parks, mini golf, escape games, and go-karts! You can also pop over to Gatlinburg, Sevierville, and Wears Valley for even more options. And there are loads of outdoor activities in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, like horseback riding, fly fishing, bird watching, hiking, mountain biking, and scenic drives with gorgeous mountain views.

NASCAR SpeedPark
Great for kids and adults alike, the NASCAR SpeedPark features 22 family-friendly attractions, including 8 go-kart tracks, 10 thrill rides, and 2 mini golf courses.

Dollywood
You can spend a full day at Dollywood and not experience everything this amusement park has in store. From live shows to thrilling roller coasters, this favorite Pigeon Forge attraction has it all!

Dolly Parton's Stampede
Enjoy an up-close look at Quarter Horses and Palomino breeds before the exciting show at the Stampede. And, of course, the 4-course Southern feast is worth the drive to Pigeon Forge!

Reviews for Knotty Desire

  • "This was our first stay in TN, in a cabin setting. Overall, we can’t complain. It was a quiet area, not too far from activities and restaurants, but far enough to have peace and quiet. Cabin met all expectations, except the amenities provided were a little broken down, as we were disappointed to see the pool table was being kept level with magazines and the hammock was ripped to where it was most unusable for most adults. Overall, if these issues are fixed for future guests, I would highly recommend."

  • "This is a great cabin with many amenities. Very clean and well kept. We enjoyed the game room with the pool table and especially the arcade machine. It kept our kids happy. The wooded view and the hammock were so relaxing. Highly recommended!"

      We're so pleased you had a wonderful stay at Knotty Desire, and were able to take advantage of all the great cabin amenities! From the game room with the pool table and arcade game, to the wooded view and relaxing hammock, we're glad your visit to the Smoky Mountains was enjoyable. We appreciate your recommendation, and would love to host you again in the future!

  • "The cabin is in a nice area. The cabin itself is nice and has a terrific game room! We enjoyed our stay. The description does not show that there is no parking at the cabin. This is not disclosed until you get directions to the cabin. (It's super easy to find!). The parking is 3 cabins up the hill. It's a very short walk....but....you should know this in advance. If you have very young kids or elderly/frail who can't walk far or are unable to walk down about 20 steps to the cabin, this may not be the best cabin for you since there's also not a sidewalk and the street is very dark at night. The parking wasn't an issue for us but I imagine it could be for others. We enjoyed the game room and loved seeing some wildlife from the cabin."

      We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and the game room at Knotty Desire! We can certainly understand your concerns with the parking information, and we have since added this information into the description as well. We greatly appreciate your feedback, and we apologize for any inconvenience. While this cabin worked for your stay this round, we do have many cabins with close parking and few to no steps into the home. We look forward to your next stay with us in the Smokies!

  • "We stayed at this cabin last month and it is like new. Very clean and filled with amenities. Highly recommended!"

  • "We loved the cabin we stayed in. We booked a last minute trip because we wanted to go see snow and the ladies made it so easy. They were patient and gave us everything we asked for. We will definitely be booking again very soon. Thank you Cabins for You!"
