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.

This is an incredible cabin on a serene mountain stream. We did several creek treks with the kids, swam under waterfalls, found salamanders and more. Rainy days were even fun under the large covered porch. Saw a mother bear with 2 cubs near the RBF Sunset View. Less than an hour’s drive each to Bryson City, Cataloochee and Clingman’s Dome.

The cabin was wonderful and very relaxing! We enjoyed sitting on the deck, watching the hummingbirds and hearing the rush of water from the creek below. We built a fire and fixed smores with the items left for us by the host. My son and grandson loved playing in the creek. Will definitely visit 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.

We LOVED our stay at this remote cabin! The rushing stream was not only so much fun for our kids to play in but was so relaxing to listen to while sitting on the front porch or in the hot tub. House was well furnished, we had everything we needed. The host even left us a surprise welcome gift of stuff to make s’mores! The cabin is very remote which is what we expected and we loved that about this location. It was the perfect setting to get away from it all!

Such an enjoyable stay, we arrived at 66 degrees, coming from 100 in SC. The flowing stream was wonderful - we opened the windows in the bedroom at night to let the water sooth us to sleep. Very clean and comfortable, all we needed was there, except the food - which we purchased from Ingles. Very well appointed. We will be back! Great place to destress!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Running Bear! There were so many details we appreciated. From the time we booked, the hosts were quick to reply to questions and offer important information. Lots of little details around the cabin site made our stay comfortable. Beautiful creek with several places to sit and relax outside.Very clean, cozy, and well maintained home/property, lots of space to spread out when needed. So thankful for this space where our family was able to experience the Smokies!

Somehow both the glowing reviews and the lovely pictures listed for this cabin fail to capture just how wonderful it is. We had coffee with hummingbirds on the deck in the morning, watched fireflies from the hot tub in the evening, and waved to the elk and a bear as we set out each day to explore. The hosts are everything you'd hope for in a stay like this; reasonable, helpful, and hospitable. Stay here, you won't regret it.
