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

Whitetail 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. Whitetail 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.

Horrible, dirty and smells bad.

Check in was simple. After traveling 8.5 hrs to see family and prep for a small Thanksgiving dinner, we walked in to a musky odor. Go to use the restroom and the is pee all over the toilet, looks like it hadn't been cleaned in months. Go to use diet, same thing. Hair and pink mold all over the shower. The shower curtain is cover in soap scum. I was afraid to even touch it. The stove, over, fridge etc were filthy. When i day filthy, I MEAN FILTHY. The are cobb/ spider webs Everywhere. So we stayed at my parents house. Let our dogs stay at this place and went to let them out every 2 hours, as I didn't want them at my patents house due to my dad fighting cancer. They're was mold on the windows and seals, pot and pans and utensils still had egg, he's and straight funk on them. So DISGUSTING. I would not recommend this to anyone. EVER

Holiday Stay

The stay was fine, the first night the cabin was freezing it took forever for the bedroom to warm up. We had to use the blanket off the other bed to try to stay warm. After we got the temp up it was very pleasant. After a couple days we had an odor from the cabin but could not find where it was coming from. Finally the last night found black water in the washing machine and it smelled horrible, had to open the door to air it out. Tried to get the washing machine to empty but it wouldn't. Sent message in the AM and was offered a free night in the future, was really looking to get one night credit on the curent trip but that did not happen. Overall a nice quiet location and an enjoyable stay most of the time.

Work trip

My co-worker and I were up for work. I can honestly tell you that big bear is the best “bang for the buck” in Franklin. I even called and extended for an additional day. Theses are truly great people that offer a great service.
