We enjoyed the privacy, the nature hikes in the area, the lake, and even some historic pieces very close to the cabin. And yes, of course, the hot tub at night with all those stars ... amazing!

Charming Private Stay in the Mountains

Cabin was wonderful, just the right size for two people, but could comfortably fit a few more. Shower was spacious, pressure strong, water nice and hot! The scenery was gorgeous, a perfect little wooded getaway. We were in the area for a friend's wedding festivities and didn't get enough time to enjoy the cabin and property to it's full extent, so we'll have to come back another time to check out the hot tub, fire pit, and trails that looked like a lot of fun!The cabin was well stocked with supplies and everything we could need. Lovely propertly, clean, well maintained, and lots to do.We loved our stay, and you will too! Thank you David & Laurie!

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!

Relaxing in Peace

This cabin is wonderful! It was clean and welcoming. The views that you get from the many windows inside and on the deck are beautiful. You feel secluded from the world with all of the trees around. I did the short hike up to the top of the mountain and the view was well worth it! You can sit on the bench at the top and see the lake and mountain view. There were even a few benches along the trail that I used to take a break. And to end the day, I relaxed in the hot tub! My stay was relaxing and peaceful. I am looking forward to returning.

Little piece of heaven

This was a wonderful getaway from the world. It is an adorable cabin with a comfy master bed and cute kids' nook, super comfy couches, and a fun movie selection. We loved stargazing from the hot tub, hiking the trails, and enjoying the swings up on the mountain. The quiet mountains and great views let us feel secluded even though town was only 20 minutes away. There was a great hammock spot we enjoyed, and even though I chose to keep my phone turned off, it was an added perk that there was Wifi if I wanted to get connected with the outside world. Thanks so much for sharing your little piece of heaven! We will definitely be visiting again.

Nice place but No Cell Service

Make sure you screen shot the Wi-Fi password & lock box code before coming to the location. We did have a field mouse get into the house that was eating our pretzels the first night but we did not see him again once we locked up all the open food bags but we left one night early because of the mouse. The field mouse is to be expected because of where you are. The house was VERY clean and very comfortable. I had no contact info for the home owners & felt this issue was not a huge deal to contact them about. I provided 5 stars for communication but did not talk to them. There is cell service if you drive 22 minutes to the closest town. Mine is At&t and one had T-Mobile and we had nothing at the house. Make sure you activate Wi-Fi calling on your phone before going. Driving through the mountains the cell service would drop out for miles so don’t clear your maps application if you have no cell service. There is a paper map option at the rest stop by the BP off of Hwy19 Make sure you download offline maps of the area before coming incase you get lost.
