Escape to Knotty Pine: An Intimate Studio Retreat in Townsend Nestled at the quiet end of a dead-end road in the charming Timberwinds Resort, Knotty Pine is the ultimate secluded getaway for two. Designed specifically for couples seeking privacy and comfort, this studio-style log cabin offers a warm, "knotty pine" interior that feels like a true mountain embrace.
The Space
The open-concept layout is thoughtfully arranged to maximize intimacy and relaxation:
Rest & Relax: A plush King-size bed serves as the centerpiece of the room. Directly alongside, you'll find the highlight of the cabin: a deep soaking tub perfectly positioned for a long, luxurious soak just steps from the bed.
Cozy Living: The living area invites you to curl up on the plush sofa or easy chair in front of a flickering gas fireplace—perfect for chilly Tennessee nights.
Refresh: The private bathroom features a modern tiled stand-up shower and a spacious vanity, providing everything you need to freshen up for a day in the mountains.
Small But Mighty Kitchen
Don’t let the size fool you—the kitchen is fully equipped and exceptionally well-stocked with everything you need to whip up a romantic breakfast or a full dinner. Whether you're brewing morning coffee or preparing a multi-course meal, you’ll find all the essentials at your fingertips.
Outdoor Living
Step out onto the back deck to find your own private oasis. Surrounded by the peaceful woods of Townsend, you can:
Soak your worries away in the large, bubbling hot tub.
Sip your morning coffee in the classic Adirondack chairs.
Fire up the charcoal grill for a quiet dinner under the stars.
Resort Amenities
As part of the Timberwinds Community, guests at Knotty Pine also enjoy seasonal access to the community swimming pool and pavilion, providing a perfect spot to cool off after a day of hiking in the nearby Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
Experience the "Quiet Side of the Smokies" in a cabin that feels miles away from it all, yet is just minutes from the heart of Townsend. IMPORTANT: Out of respect for the holidays and our employees, we do NOT allow ANY check-ins or outs on Thanksgiving Day or Christmas Day
NO PETS ALLOWED OF ANY KIND IN THIS CABIN.

FEES: The management company of this cabin charges a $20 per stay Damage Waiver Fee to every customer. It is automatically included in your rate. This covers our guests for up to $350 worth of accidental damage should damage occur during their stay. If damage occurs to the cabin, furnishings, etc, please report it to management as soon as possible so that the damage can be repaired. You may opt out of paying the $20 damage waiver fee by putting down a $350 REFUNDABLE damage deposit.
Common Concerns: *Road Conditions: Some of our cabins are on steep, narrow, curvy mountain roads. If you are concerned about road conditions to get to a cabin, please feel free to ask us! None of our cabins require a 4-wheel drive under normal weather conditions, but some do in inclement weather. *TV & WiFi: We do have TV's and WiFi in most of our cabins. There are times when heavy cloud cover, weather systems, mountains, or trees will cause problems with the signals. We always want our guests to have the comforts they want on vacation, but there are times we cannot control this problem. *Pests & Wildlife: Here in the Smoky Mountains, we have lots of native bugs and wildlife. All of our cabins are treated for pests, but there are times you will find bugs or even have trouble with bugs. Fall/Winter is ladybug season in the Smokies, and these little buggers are attracted to heat, meaning your cabin and every other one out there that is warm! They will swarm to the cabin, and you'll probably see them alive/dead on windowsills, in vents, etc. Rest assured that your cabin has regular pest control and is professionally cleaned, including bug removal, before and after your stay. However, these bugs come back right away, and unfortunately, there is nothing that can be done about them until the season passes. Please never feed, taunt, or approach any wildlife. This is their home, and we are the visitors. *There are no refunds for storms or power outages. If there is a power outage, there will be no water and potentially no heat. Storms can also make roads impassable, so if a storm is in the forecast during your reservation, come prepared with water and non-perishable food, etc.
