Great cabin, beautiful area!

Although the weather wasn’t great, the cabin was still great! The owners were very easy to deal with and very accommodating. Cell service isn’t great but it’s to be expected in that area. I would stay again.

Great Stay!

We had a great stay at the Running Branch Lodge. The place is just as advertised; secluded in the woods, quite & peaceful with the stream babbling in the background. The area surrounding Topton, NC is awesome, so many views of the mountains & streams. If you like rafting or fly fishing this is the spot.

Beautiful Cabin with Peaceful Setting

This cabin was perfect for me, my husband and sister-in-law to stay. We had our coffee on the porch each morning with the sound of the creek right beside the house, and enjoyed a fire in the fire pit each evening. We went to Andrews and rode and rail bikes one day and went to Bryson City and went tubing the next day. Great trip. perfect location. We will be back!

Great stay for fly fishing Nantahala.

My friends and I came to the area for a fly fishing trip in the Nantahala. The cabin was very clean and comfortable and the location was perfect with access to the river just minutes away to the lower river and the delayed harvest section. The cabin has a nice wrap around patio to chill and listen to the relaxing creek just below and also made good use of the grill. I look forward to returning to this area and will book again if available.

Absolutely Beautiful Getaway

My husband and I came to celebrate his birthday and our anniversary and it was everything that we wanted. It snowed and was so magical especially with the flowing creek. Due to the weather we had to cut our stay short but we’ll definitely be back.

Beautiful Cabin!

My husband and I spent 10 days at this little slice of heaven! The cabin is lovely and spacious with everything you need. It was extremely clean and furnished beautifully! I had a few questions before we arrived and Ana was very responsive everytime. We've always stayed at other places for our annual trip to NC but this is our favorite of all! Thank you Ana, for making this trip extra special...see you next year!!

Great Cabin

Cabin was very clean and had everything that you needed! It was a nice home away from home! The stream out front of the cabin was nice to sit and listen to while having our morning coffee! We sat outside a few nights and had a fire and watched the fireflies! There’s a good bit of them!! So neat to see! So peaceful and quiet! Thanks for sharing your home with us!

Heaven on a mountain!

Absolutely amazing! This cabin was perfect. It was better than described! We couldn't believe this was our cabin for the week when we pulled up! It was beautiful! Almost totally secluded in a valley. We never saw anybody the whole time we were there. Sitting on the wrap-around porch in the morning's and evening's watching and listening to the babbling brook that runs right in front of the cabin was so peaceful. We will be back every year. Thank you so much for a perfect vacation!

Very relaxing by the creek. The cabin was very clean and had everything you needed. The outside was big enough to keep our dog entertained especially the ckeek and ponds.

Best kept secret!

I can't say enough about this property and the owners! Even though we visited on the coldest week of the past 40 years, it was a wonderful trip. Ana and her husband were so helpful. We are from the gulf coast and were unfamiliar with North Carolina. They gave us some tips of where things were located and some tips about the property. First, they told us the property was the 1st one we would come to and it was the easiest one to get in and out of in case of snowy/freezing weather. We were VERY grateful for that. The cabin is in a gated community. The road was well maintained and on flat ground. The cabin itself was simply beautiful. It was very rustic with the interior being wood with hard wood floors that gave a cozy ambience. The furnishings were nice and I can't say enough about how comfortable the bed was. It was like sleeping in a warm cloud. The bathrooms were awesome. The kitchen was nice and if you like to cook, had just about anything you would need to cook anything you would like. There were lots of windows in the downstairs area where you could see the area. There is a creek that runs down the hill on the side of the cabin. You can hear it running inside the house which added to the experience. It was so peaceful and relaxing! The cabin was absolutely spotless including the floors. Even though it was so cold (high of 2 degrees on one day) and we couldn't get out a whole lot, we didn't feel trapped or feel like we lost anything. The creek partially froze over along with the ponds which added to the beauty of the place. We absolutely loved the cabin and the time we spent there. It was an enchanting experience and one we will always remember. I would highly recommend it.

PERFECT RENTAL PROPERTY

We came to town for a wedding and loves this 2 bedroom place for my husband, 2 adult and me. This small home is beautiful and was prefect for us. The only downside is there is no dining room table for us all to sit at for meals or games. Otherwise, we loved jt!
