Running Squirrel Ridge cabin w/Hot tub+WiFi+firepit+deck & trails w/lake view!

This private cabin is situated on 17 acres and borders National Forest property. Our driveway is two-wheel drive accessible. With 400 sq. ft. modern comforts include WiFi, hot tub, brazilian tiled bathroom, central HVAC system, a tankless water heater, a full-sized laundry room and pillow topped queen mattress all while still being able to enjoy nature. There is a queen-sized bedroom, one bath, a fully stocked modern kitchen/dining area, a large living room with two rollout couches as well a child-sized loft featuring built-in entertaining area and a queen-sized mattress.
With WiFi Running Squirrel Ridge is a great place to semi-disconnect from the world and reconnect with family and nature. The cabin boasts a 1200 sq. ft. deck, propane grill, patio furniture, picnic table and family-sized bonfire area. If that weren't enough, relax in the 5 person hot tub!
Don't miss hiking the two improved hiking trails; the on-property ridge trail takes you along a forested trail with 5 natural log benches to rest on along the way to the top of the mountain where you can enjoy the view of Lake Nantahala. After a day at the lake or hiking, enjoy soaking in the hot tub or relaxing in the hammock space.
On the property across a handmade bridge and stairs, there are three swings that the children love to play on. You may also enjoy wading in the creek below or enjoying the large play area located across from the entrance of the driveway, great for football, frisbee or yard games. With zero light polution enjoy evening stargazing, catching lightning bugs or a crackling fire in the fire pit.
Have a restful night's sleep on our pillow-topped queen mattress, recharging from a day of outings and activities. If you need to unplug and recharge, Running Squirrel Ridge is the place for you.

Great Place for a Getaway!
We loved our two nights at Running Squirrel Ridge! The home was comfortable and clean, and described very accurately in the listing.The kitchen is well equipped and we cooked both dinners while there. The hot tub under the stars was a great experience, even on a cloudy night. The host was responsive prior to our visit with questions about the area and some other details. Highly recommend the cabin!

Very thoughtful hosts!
I would absolutely recommend this stay to adults! If you have a toddler I would suggest bring a baby gate for the loft area (my little one was obsessed with the cute little stairs but did fall down them, ONCE) he’s ok! ت WiFi is a little touchy but it worked out for us as we stayed busy on the property exploring and at the near by lake! I’d definitely stay again with my husband and friends!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND AND ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!
Such a cute and beautiful cabin. Me and my partner loved staying here. Very secluded with hot tub, fire pit, beautiful indoor space, swings and private hikes within the property! Very secluded and you'd barely step out of the cabin grounds as it is very MAGICAL!

Easy access and supplied with everything we needed for a quiet family weekend. No wifi or cell service kept us away from distractions and spent quality time together watching movies, playing games, in the hot tub and walking trails and enjoying the swings

Great Cabin Stay
Even for my group of 6, this tiny home didn’t feel so tiny because there were so many things to do outdoors. My husband and I loved the hammock and hot tub and my kids loved the fire pit and swing. We took hikes everyday using both trails and saw the prettiest views. This was an exceptional birthday trip.

I had a nice time staying at the cabin with my boyfriend. The location was very close to a wedding venue I attended in Topton, which turned out excellent! The trails on the property were also very pleasant to hike, and the views from the swing and fire pit were truly breathtaking.
