The Knotty Bear was a gem! The cabin had everything we needed and more. We loved the modern kitchen, cool AC units in each bedroom, automatic fire place for cozy nights and a stellar hot tub.We found the Knotty Bear to be a sparkling clean and a relaxing and comfortable stay in a beautiful, forested neighborhood.
8 / 10Excellent·Jul 2025
House was nice. It was a little warm during our stay, so no AC was a tad uncomfortable during the day. Neighborhood was quiet. Upstairs bathroom is in one of the bedrooms, so that was a little awkward for our family. But overall we enjoyed the stay.
10 / 10Outstanding·May 2025
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay and found it easy to use the house to entertain our daughter’s family, including two pre-teens. We’ll-stocked, clear instructions, very clean, so that we could “concentrate” on our vacation time!
6 / 10Average·Jun 2023
The place was relatively clean except for the persistent smell of body odor on the beds and blankets. The biggest disappointment was that there was no useable furniture outside. Two picnic tables were there but they were broken into pieces. There were no chairs, no leaves or branches were raked, no propane tank for the bbq. So, the weather was beautiful but we could not enjoy sitting, eating or drinking outside of the home...something we had hoped for. We paid to rent the entire home but only could use half, the inside. In fairness, we should be given a refund for not being able to use the outside of the home since it is advertised in that manner. Last point, VRBO rentals are getting out of hand with "cleaning fees" and "cleaning instructions". This owner had a long list of cleaning instructions for the guests "strip beds, load washing machine, load dishwasher, wipe down counters, take out trash..." which would be fine except that they are charging a hefty cleaning fee. So, they want us to clean and also to pay someone else to clean -- this practice is wrong. You can't have it both ways; either I pay someone to clean or I do it. I don't get penalized for not cleaning my hotel room or bed and breakfast room...so, why should VRBO be able to continue charging for this practice? The location of the home was nice. Neighborhood was quiet. In general the place was fine but the owners and rental managers need to deliver what is promised and paid for in advance.
