The Deep Creek entrance of the National Park is located about 10 minutes from this cabin where you will encounter great hiking trails, beautiful waterfalls, and during the Spring and Summer months, excellent tubing down the creek! The Harrahs Casino, Oconaluftee River hiking trails & tubing, the popular Mingo & Soco waterfalls, and the Sequoyah National Golf Course are all located about 20 minutes away in Cherokee, NC. You can also reach the Almond Boat Dock on Fontana Lake for some great swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding, and canoeing options in about 20-25 minutes, Or you can experience the exhilaration of white-water rafting, zip lining, and other adventurous excursions out in the Nantahala Gorge located 30 minutes away. Access Road: Cars and Most All Vehicles- Paved and hard packed gravel sections on a well maintained Mountain Road, Switchbacks and moderate to steep incline sections possible, no washed out section. The parking is a bit snug at the cabin and best accommodates a smaller size vehicle. Exterior: Squirrel Run is a cozy little cabin tucked away in the woods of the Great Smoky Mountains. The welcoming landscape draws you right in the front door, or down a couple of steps to the deck that leads you around the back side of the cabin. Peaceful and quiet, a comfortable space to sit at the small table and share a fresh cup of coffee in the morning air, sit close and cuddle on the porch swing, or kick back in the rocking chairs and unwind together. This covered deck also has a gas grill for making your famous mouth watering steaks. Should you prefer charcoal, that grill is located around the front. Also privately located here is a hot tub for setting the mood for a long romantic evening. Entry Level: This romantic cabin for two sets the mood as soon as you step inside. Warm wood tones and woodland touches create a cozy and comfortable feeling. The openness of this floor plan makes sure you spend all your time together. The soft leather sofa sits in front of a Gas Log Stove, and Flat Screen TV. Ideal for snuggling up together in front of a warm glowing fire and watching a favorite movie or Satellite TV. The efficient kitchen is well equipped and you will find all you need for making dinner for two. A cozy table provides seating for a candlelight meal together. Across this room is the Queen Size Bed with plush bedding. A full bath with tub is located privately off the bedroom. \---- Pet Policy: This cabin is PET FRIENDLY.

Jul 25, 2022 Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness, communication #### Bad experience Renting the property was easy so was checking in but I didn’t get to enjoy the stay as I wished, i didn’t get to relax due to the cabin having bed bugs. I had informed the host after the first night hoping to be accommodated in a way and wasn’t. When I had informed them of the issue they didn’t seem to believe me due to my parter not being biten. I told them I believe it’s bed bugs but they told me they haven’t heard anything and that it may be me having an allergic reaction to there detergent they use on their sheets. The second night (my last night) I woke up with more bites and didn’t get to sleep well again. I informed them on the issue again, I told them I know I’m checking out today but you may need to get that checked out because I would hate for the next people renting it to have the same experience as me. They just told me they would note it down. I also sent them a picture of the bed bug I found on me. I also took pictures of the bite marks. ##### Daniel C.

Apr 10, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lover’s Getaway My husband and I enjoyed the cabin, it was very private and isolated. The toilet was a little slow to flush but that is the only thing we can complain about. Beautiful surroundings and quiet, adorable little town and close to many other attractions (Maggie Valley, Cherokee) will definitely stay again. ##### Katie P.

We had a nice couple of days in Bryson. There were some hiccups. They let the Direct TV contract lapse so no TV and there is no wifi. ##### Marjorie C.
