The cabin was awesome! The large porch was great for sitting outside and enjoying the sound of the creek while reading a book. Plenty of space inside with comfortable seating and beds.

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.

Nice Getaway

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.

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.

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!

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!!

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.
