Fantastic experience at Big Bear Cabins. Went in July for a small family reunion. Each family had…read moretheir own small and perfectly sized cabin. Loved the two separate bedrooms and the special little loft area that served as a third bedroom for our youngest. The unit was clean, cozy, super log cabin like, had great Wifi and TVs, a washer and dryer and little kitchen and bathroom with a tub. Great front porch and a pull out couch if needed. Plenty of seating. It was super private yet close to all things like grocery stores and restaurants. Close enough to the other cabins but still gave each family space. The biggest house worked great for everyone to get together and eat together. AC worked great. Great little grill and fire wood and a fire pit. So quiet. Host was awesome and super at giving us ideas for where to go and what to do and eat. Highly recommend. Great little town and amazing cabins. Well done! Thanks for giving us a chance to reconnect and refresh in a perfect home away from home. Hope to be back.

BEWARE OF ''MOOSE'' CABIN, IT IS TOXIC. My wife & I had to be in Franklin for medical reasons so I…read morehad the misfortune of renting the ''MOOSE'' cabin for three nights. We arrived kind of late first night so just ate some burgers & went to sleep. When we got up in morning I told my wife that the cabin smelled off. After looking the place over I realized the wood ceilings were covered with BLACK MOLD!!!! All of the surfaces were very sticky, countertops , tables etc. Cobwebs were everywhere. Corners on floor were filthy, dust was built up on door hinges. Pots & pans were old teflon coated that looked they came from dumpster out back of Good Will store. I would not let my dog eat out of them let alone try cooking with them. I told my wife we will not be staying here at the '' MOOSE'' cabin. I took her to her medical appointment and called owner to express my concerns about everything with cabin. He informed me that he has had ''PROBLEM'' with mold in the past. He blamed it on being in the woods & of course the rain. I live in the mountains as well. Where I live is way more wooded than the lot where the ''MOOSE'' cabin is & I have no mold problems. He told me '' I SANDED DOWN THE MOLD & APPLIED POLYURATHANE OVER IT'' . I told him that will NOT take care of mold problem. He kind of disagreed with me. I was in construction business for over 50 years and have dealt with black mold more than a dozen times. Sandpaper was never used. It first must be sprayed with antifungal, let dry a few days then be removed. That is the ONLY way to deal with black mold. He said he had crew coming in the afternoon to sand it again. Sorry folks that will not work. But it will look all right for the next set of campers to come thru. Oh yea the WiFi was not working as well. That was the ''rains fault'' Once I told him I took pictures, unfortunately I could not upload them for some reason, his demeaner changed real quick & he gave me a refund for my trip. We had to stay at motel so that meant no cooking. Our food did not go bad but we took it back & forth for nothing. Word to the wise all you campers, rockhounds, rafters and leaf lookers enjoy all the beauty these mountains have to offer but take some time to look your lodging over real close. Thank you for your attention to this matter..... Tom M

For each trip, we have spent three full days and we have yet to eat out at a restaurant since I love to cook and the kitchen is pretty well appointed at Stecoah Cabin. It was bittersweet to see Sky Ridge Yurts being ranked #1 glamping spot in the entire US by USA Today survey. Well deserved, but I hope we still have our sweet hide-away and it doesn't get too hard to reserve or expensive by demand.

This is a wonderful business that manages vacation rentals in the Franklin, NC area. April Moore,…read morethe property manager, oversees about 20 rentals of all sizes and costs. She is very responsive to emails and can offer solid advice about the rental properties and the general area. We have used this service several times, including for this fall, and I am very happy with all aspects of the business and April's touch. Highly recommended if you want to be sure you are getting the straight take about the property and what it offers.

Fabulous wedding in October! In late 2024, we went out on a limb, sight unseen and booked the…read moreCherokee Mountain Cabins for our daughters wedding. The Bride and Groom were looking for a small, outdoor experience that was more than just "show up for 4 hours". In totality, we booked 11 cabins for a weekend of fun and laughter. Not a single complaint from any of the wedding guests. We were able to use the Nite Owl to host both a dinner the night prior, and a brunch the day after. We used the Pavilion for the wedding itself. The weather was fantastic, and the beauty of the property along the stream was serene! The staff leading up to the wedding and the weekend of were responsive and flexible. While we decided to limit the rentals on amenities, and as expected we forgot a couple of small items which the staff in the moment quickly supplied. Additionally, the business we hired for hair and makeup, late the night before the wedding cancelled on us....the concierge scrambled for us the morning of to find a replacement. I would highly recommend this location not just for a vacation getaway, but any small to medium event you and looking to plan!

Top notch for sure. There are so many amenities in the cabins. The fireplaces inside and out, the hot tub, the whirlpool bath tub, pool table, everything! The bed was comfortable and cozy.

The kitchen is spacious and stocked with high quality utensils and appliances, but also offers plastic cups, bowls, plates, etc. for popcorn and the children. There are two full bathrooms with plush, white towels. The master bedroom has a comfortable, king-sized bed, plenty of dresser and closet space, a gas fire place, a wet bar, extra large screen HD TV, vaulted ceilings, and sliding glass and screen doors on both sides of the room, leading out to a gazebo on one side and an 8 person hot tub on the other. The other bedroom on the main floor has a queen bed and tasteful decor, with plenty of closet and drawer space. The dining room table comfortably seats 8 to 10 and the living room is warm and cozy, featuring another huge HD TV and gas fireplace. There is a washing machine and dryer and the stairs lead up to a loft which can comfortably sleep 4 to 6 kids. There's plenty of room for them to play, as well as, view videos. From the loft is a pathway leading to a lovely outdoor viewing area! You simply cannot beat the views of the Smoky Mountains from any side of this house! Our Aunt stayed in one of the two adjoining apartment units and she not only raved about the fact that she too had a washer and dryer, but that she also had a gas fireplace, large flatscreen TV, adjoining door to our unit (which can be used optionally) -AND- that her view was also astonishing. There are many places to sightsee and enjoy river views, most notably hiking short to moderate length distances to see local waterfalls. And know this - though I'm sure you'll come with the plan to unplug or at least use electronic devices less frequently than usual, the guest wi-fi works great, even in these mountains, and the TVs feature many viewing options. Yep! We'll be back for sure.

Complementary wireless was available for the Yelp updates :). And the fresh breakfast every morning was highlighted by the fresh backed biscuits. The only thing keeping me from putting five stars was the bathrooms. We had the upstairs rooms and the bathrooms while tastefully done with modern amenities, were small. In fact, I would have a hard time telling which had more space; these bathrooms or those on the Embraer regional plane. For both, I cracked my head on the door when trying to mount the throne. The location here is grand... maybe 20 minutes to the Casino and Indian village. Perhaps a little longer to the Blueridge parkway. And just a few moments from the quaint part of Dillsboro. This one is a definite try again when we venture this way next.
