My husband and I had a wonderful time at Running Bear Falls.Host, clean cabin, beautiful home and spectacular views were all A!!4-wheel drive is recommended.Our favorites were the hot tub just outside the bedroom, rocking chairs overlooking the falls and the sitting area near the water!Loved the location… secluded and very peaceful!
PERFECT GETAWAY!!! Loved this place. If you want seclusion & serenity, this is the perfect place. Beautiful scenery & peace of mind!Host was always reachable & very knowledgeable about the area, recommended place to eat or attractions, will be going back as soon as we can.
Beautiful, peaceful cabin with everything we needed. The hosts were extremely accommodating and went above and beyond to ensure a great stay. My dog thoroughly enjoyed playing in the active creek throughout our visit. This is the best location I have stayed at in 32 years of visits to NC. Highly recommended! We will definitely be back!!!
The cabin was well furnished and comfortable. The view of and access to Hornbuckle Creek was excellent. The cabin and rushing water stream were all that we hoped they would be.
If you are looking for a quiet, secluded place to stay, this is it. The cabin was very clean and well stocked. My granddaughter enjoyed the stream and hot tub. My son-in-law did some fishing in the stream and caught some small trout which he released. I am not use to mountain roads, so that part made me a little nervous, but the cabin made up for it. Neil is a great host and promptly answers any questions you have. I highly recommend this cabin.
The drive is worth it! The cabin is on the creek with all the amenities for a relaxing, fun stay. The cabin was one of the best stocked rentals we've stayed at, and the furnishings were very comfortable. The owner, Neil, was very communicative and thought of everything! We'll definitely be staying again.
Everything was absolutely fabulous. We will definitely rent this cabin again, comfortable, all the amenities you could need,and a beautiful view! Perfect!!!
This place was absolutely gorgeous, breathtaking, and serene. Pics can't even do it justice! The whooshing sound of the rushing watwrfall creek every morning with coffee is also the perfect white noise for a peaceful nights sleep. My kid loved exploring and playing in it too! The mountain air is fresh, with hints of floral in the breeze from the beautiful plants all around the property. Everything I hoped for and needed. And so welcoming with all the little added touches and "extras"... we had a blast putting together the Smithsonian T-rex puzzle and playing checkers, apples to apples, and the hook string game! Hot tub and fire pit were so great to have too, topping it all off for a perfect getaway. It's close to everything you'd want to do in Maggie Valley and Cherokee and Soco Falls/hiking as well, but you almost won't ever want to leave the cabin! It's a truly magical special place Owner is great too! Very communicative, flexible, and kind. If I could give 20 stars, I would.
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.
Great communication with host from booking process to check out! Most well stocked property we’ve ever stayed at ! Really felt homey! Beautiful &secluded

Thanks Jennifer! We are so pleased you are as comfortable at our little cabin as we are! Do come back!
The home was exactly what we wanted. My grandson declared it the best cabin I have found so far ! Sitting on the porch listening to the creek was so relaxing. The hot tub and fire pit area was an added bonus ! I would definitely rent this home again !

Thanks Renee! Glad you and your grandson enjoyed the cabin. Hope to host you again!! 😊
Cabin was great and the location is just what I was looking for to unplug for a few days. The property was secluded, beautiful and well maintained. Will definitely stay here again!
Absolutely loved the cabin and the area. We even got to see a bear about 1/2 a mile from the cabin. I do recommend a 4 wheel drive vehicle for the road leading to the cabin.
Our stay was exceptional! Beautiful, cozy and clean cabin. The views and rushing stream were amazing! Excellent communication with the hosts as well. We loved it!
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!

Thanks Cindy! Glad you enjoyed Running Bear Falls! Hope you visit again!
This place was awesome! Perfect sized cabin for my family if 5 and family dog! We used it a refreshing stopping point coming home from a cross country trip. And it was perfect, the sound of the creek really helped us relax and sleep soundly! We had fun exploring the area and even went tubing in nearby Bryson City and went hiking off the blue ridge parkway! Sitting on the porch and exploring the rushing creek was a fantastic! Thanks for letting us stay!

Thanks for coming and so glad you enjoyed the cabin! Love to host you again in the future ❤️
This is one of the best vacations we have ever taken! You will truly enjoy your vacation, and you will feel like this log cabin is home away from home… property was absolutely beautiful and the cabin is well kept and very clean. The property owners are premier host for a reason this home and vacation exceeded our expectations! We look forward to returning to Running Bear Falls!!!
Stop scrolling: you've found the perfect cabin. It's extremely cozy, well stocked, quiet and hemmed by a picturesque stream. The owner is very responsive, the WiFi worked perfectly, the water stayed hot and everything was as comfortable as can be. The drive isn't too steep, but it is long, so grab what you want before you head up the mountain because you're not going to want to leave.
Pictures do not do this cabin justice! It is beautiful inside and out. Anything you could ever need is already on site. The views are breathtaking - we enjoyed exploring the creek and then relaxing on the porch, watching the hummingbirds. We will definitely be making a return trip!
