We LOVED our stay at the cabin. Jeremy the owner was extremely helpful with the check-in/out process. In addition, he went above and beyond by being an excellent host. He added personal touches throughout the cabin to make our stay more enjoyable such as a bottle of wine welcoming us, a pin board that my kiddos added a pin from our home town, a list of local favorite activities and restaurants and a guest book sign in.The cabin itself is very roomy. The kitchen could accommodate 6 at the table easily with additional seating on the gorgeous porch (equipped with rocking chairs to enjoy the fantastic view). The bedrooms were roomy and beds comfy. There were numerous televisions which you could log into to watch your favorite shows if you wanted.Our family had a fantastic stay and will indeed be back in the future!

Great Ashe County Cabin
Knotty by Nature was a relaxing getaway cabin for a long weekend in the West Jefferson / Ashe County area. It's just as described on the VRBO website. Plenty of great recommendations for activities and dining. The kitchen is very well equipped for dining is as well. The hot tub was a welcome treat after hiking. About 10 minute drive from town and The Barn on the New River if you're attending a wedding. It is atop a ridge (nice view) via a gravel road but we navigated it just fine. Highly recommended!
