Kathie Davis & Gary James
Knotty By Nature is a labor of love for the Davis family. It was once owned by grandpa and bought by his daughter, Kathie, to keep in the family. During 2023, it was completely remodeled. Everything grandpa was "going to do" got done. Kathie kept his dream alive. She even repurposed the old loft banister into planks and built new open-shelving for the kitchen. Imagine the charm of1960s a-frame windows meeting a farmhouse style with urban/industrial flare. It's all new - everything - a must visit!
During the winter months, enjoy close by skiing/snowboarding at Mountain High, inner tubing and more. Summer brings hiking, mountain biking, zip-lining, motor tours, farmers markets, and small town appeal. Grab an ice cream at Applewood Court or take a stroll down the main drag to grab some local pizza. Meet locals in the brew house and shop at vintage boutiques. Get away from the chaos of life and tuck away into a quiet, natural setting. Breathe the fresh air.
