Elk Cabin - 2 Bedroom/1 Bath Vacation Rental

Big Bear Cabin Rentals are found in the heart of the Great Smoky Mountains in beautiful Macon County, North Carolina. Our charming North Carolina vacation rentals are located on a quiet wooded mountainside conveniently off of Hwy 441 in Franklin.

Our cozy, fully furnished vacation log homes are a real breath of fresh air from the typical motel chains and are perfect for your next family vacation or that special honeymoon getaway. Real log siding and log railings give Elk Cabin a rustic look. Take advantage of the easy access and close proximity to town.

Elk Cabin sleeps 4 adults comfortably in 2 bedrooms with queen beds; however, with a queen-size sleeper sofa, each can sleep up to 6 adults. A loft above the kitchen and dining area is perfect for kids and has a full-size futon mattress. Our cabins feature rustic furnishings and decor and include all the amenities you need, as well as free wifi. Elk Cabin features a full kitchen with breakfast nook in the dining area, stackable washer and dryer, and satellite TV service. All cabins have benches and fire rings in addition to outdoor grills and rockers on the front porch.

A maximum of 2 pets are allowed in our cabins. A pet fee of $100 per pet (this includes pets of your own AS WELL AS pets brought to the property by friends, family, or anyone not in the booking party) must be paid at the time of booking and will be invoiced separately.

Unless you have paid a pet fee and your pet is approved to be at the property, no pets (including the pets of any visitors as well as any stray animals) are allowed on the premises. Guests will be evicted immediately if any unauthorized pets are brought onto the property. The pet fee grants you permission to bring a pet; any extra cleaning and/or repairs of damage caused by the pet will result in additional fees. You are responsible for cleaning up any/all pet refuse; failure to do so will result in additional fees.

We require an e-signed rental agreement which will be emailed after booking. Rental terms in the agreement are listed under House Rules on Airbnb, the general description on VRBO/HomeAway, or on our website. Big Bear Cabin Rentals reserves the right to cancel an Instant Booking if the guest does not agree to the terms of the rental agreement fully or refuses to sign it.

overall good, good location
The cabin was okay. Did not have a closet to hang clothes. Had a loft ladder right in the middle of cabin, so you had to walk around it. It was small even for 2 people.

Children loved the loft
Kind of like a tiny home experience so was perfect for my wife and our 2 Small kids. It poured down rain and it’s super loud when it does but we loved it.
