Bear 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 Bear Cabin a rustic look. Take advantage of the easy access and close proximity to town.

Bear 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. Bear 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.

Not wheelchair accessible

The cabin is small but the space works well. We have three boys and had enough room. The cabin is close to stores and restaurants. The kitchen is well stocked with everything needed. We stayed here because it was supposed to be wheelchair accessible due to having no steps. Due to the severe slope of the parking space, I was unable to use my power chair and had to go in on crutches which was not safe. My son who is also in a chair had to be carried in. The sofa bad had not been cleaned, there was trash and food wrappers in it when we opened it.

Great Weekend Get Away

The property was great. We came up to Franklin to spend the weekend with my two boys that live in Gatlinburg, TN, and the Bear Cabin was excellent. We enjoyed everything the cabin had to offer especially the porch and the fire pit area. The property is also close to many attractions. We spent the day Saturday in Highlands which is only a short distance away. The Cabin was comfortable and roomy for the four of us. We will definitely stay here again. The office staff was friendly and accommodating.

Much thanks to big bear cabin rental !

My name is Lorie and my husband is Bob, I live in Florida to care for my parents. Bob lives in Western New York to work and care for our home and lab. This was our first vacation since our honeymoon 19 years ago. I'm only telling you this to explain why you made our time together at your place so special. We only see each other a couple weeks out of the year and we had a great time exploring and going to waterfalls. Love the cabin!!! Thank you so much 🥰

Great small cabin!

Cabin is small and cozy. It was perfect for what we need it for since we didn't spend a lot of time there. Just need a place to wind down and sleep. Proximity to town was very nice. Would stay there again if needed.

Amazing first experience

We’ve never used Vrbo before, and this was a great experience. Our questions were answered immediately, booking was quick, and follow-ups were handled quickly and professionally. We’ll book this property again as we return to the area for personal business. Thank you for a great first Vrbo experience!
