    Was going to put 3 stars but I felt that was unnecessary considering we enjoyed ourself greatly.... Some things to consider... The picture with hot tub looking into what appears to be sunrise is false.... Maybe just time of year. Trails with Lakeview is not the truth in the slightest.. One takes you to top of mountain and one takes you to rusted out swings about 100 feet from cabin. Says in listing trails with lake view... Big false. Cabin was nice comfortable I would consider going other than cooler months as we slept on sleeper sofa because bedroom got too cold. Otherwise cabin hot tub were nice and our adventure was blessed otherwise. Just don't expect to go right out of cabin onto a trail that takes you to the lake. That's not reality.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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!
