About this cabin rental
Get away from it all! Remote lovely 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom log home with sleeping loft nestled in the woods and looking out on a bold cascading stream. Soak in the covered hot tub or rock on the covered porch overlooking the rushing stream and relax to the sound of the beautiful waterfalls. Open up the windows and feel the cool mountain air, fall asleep to the calming sound of falling water - The best nights sleep. Gather round the fire-pit, roast marshmallows, and soak up the scenery. Cook burgers and hot dogs on the bank of the stream on the picnic table with park style charcoal grill. Relax, hike, or play in this true mountain paradise! . WiFi and free long distance calls included. Enough room for everyone, 2 queen beds, 2 twin beds, 1 full sleeper sofa. **NOTE: The cabin is 2.6 miles from Hwy 19 into our mountain community on Hornbuckle Creek. The road is gravel (not steep) but is very well maintained by the HOA, we have provided very detailed driving directions and proper signage as GPS is not fully accurate in the mountains. It is a 15 minute drive to town. While in the winter months - driving a 4 wheel drive vehicle would be recommended, no need in other seasons. If getting away from the crowds and enjoying a remote Great Smoky Mountain experience is your thing , you will love this place! The kitchen is extremely well equipped to prepare any meal. Outside you will enjoy cooking on the gas or charcoal grill over the stream. In the beautiful cool evenings of spring and fall take the chill off watching the flames in the woodstove fireplace. Pets may be considered. Ask us.

Our stay at the Running Bear Falls cabin was absolutely incredible. Between the hot tub, the creek behind the house, & the convenient location, our family could have stayed for a week without running out of things to do. The cabin requires a 10 min drive along a gravel mountain road, but that only adds to the charm of feeling completely disconnected. Once on the main road, you are less than a min away from the Blue Ridge Parkway & Solo Falls. You're also about 10 mins from Maggie Valley (with it's nice little shops & restaurants), 20 mins from Cherokee, & 25 mins from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. My wife, daughters, & I all can't wait to return to Running Bear Falls asap.

We had a great time, it is So quiet and secluded! I do recommend 4-wheel drive and be sure to carry your food in for first couple days, as you will not want to leave when you get there! Thanks for letting us stay.

We absolutely fell in love with the cabin. It was exactly what we wanted and needed. The decorations and little touches made this cabin so inviting. Not only the inside was so cozy, but the outside was just as nice with the fire pit and the rushing stream. We brought our dogs and it was a pet paradise. They had so much fun playing in the stream. Loved hanging out on the porch in the rocking chairs for morning coffee and night time cocktails. Sleeping with the windows open was such a plus being able to listen to the rushing water down below. The hosts had the cabin fully stocked with everything we could possibly need for our stay. The drinking water was so incredible and we were able to fill several jugs to bring home with us. Grateful we found this cabin. Would definitely come back. Also , the communication from the hosts went very smoothly!!

The gravel road was rough (we drove a Honda sedan), but it was worth the drive to the cabin that was one of my favorites! We enjoyed the fire pit, the rushing creek, the area around the cabin - so woodsy and cozy! The cabin is decorated so cute and thoughtfully. Plenty of dishes and cooking utensils. We will go back!
