Nice quiet little stay up in the mountains. The family and I really enjoyed this place. The location is perfect. The creek and fire pit were a nice touch and we spent a lot of time just enjoying the noise of the creek while sitting by the fire.

Excellent place to stay for any kind of enthusiasts. We are car guys so it was perfect for our low vehicles compared to all the other cabins with steep drives. Everything fun to do is in a very short drive and an absolutely beautiful place to stay. Would stay here again and recommend it to friends and family!

Lovely home with easy access to the Nantahala Gorge. Peaceful/quiet surroundings. Despite the record high temperatures outside, it was cool and comfortable inside. Would definitely rent again!

The Lodge is situated in a very quiet, sheltered, gated neighborhood not too far outside of Andrews. It is easily accessible off the road and has ample parking in front. Once inside it very well appointed with everything anyone would need for a self catering vacation. The bedrooms are up a straight set of stairs on the second floor and off the master there is a good size bathroom. There is also another bathroom at the head of the stairs with a walk-in shower. The leaves in the trees were showing their fall colors making the surrounding countryside very scenic. We enjoyed our stay and can see why this property is highly rated.

The cabin was very nice and clean and the setting was very private and picturesque. The only disappointment was that the wifi and satellite were not working. The host was very responsive to our messages and tried to get the wifi fixed but unfortunately there appeared to be a problem with the router

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.
