About this cabin rental
New - Paved Driveway, Deck Roof/Railing, and Starlink High-Speed Internet! We also recently had some trees topped off to improve the mountain view. We're constantly striving to improve our cabin amenities for you.
This cabin for couples is the perfect location for the two of you to enjoy all that Franklin, Highlands, Cashiers, and Sylva have to offer. Don't just take my word for it, check out the wonderful reviews that previous guests have left.
Enjoy your time relaxing in the cabin or the deck with a view of the mountain and the peace and quiet away from the hectic day-to-day, and reconnect with each other.
This beautiful, new, bear-themed, compact park model log cabin perched on a hill in Laurel Canyon between Franklin and Highlands, nestled between the trees with a breathtaking mountain view of Cedar Knob from the covered deck, is a wonderful spot in the mountains for a couple to get away to unplug, unwind, relax, and renew.
Conveniently located between Franklin, Highlands, and Cashiers with a short drive to the many area attractions and only a few minutes away from the scenic Cullasaja River Gorge, Cullasaja Falls, Dry Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, and Glenville Lake. Other nearby attractions include gem mining at Jackson Hole and antiquing at the nearby Whistle Stop. There are plenty of attractions, restaurants, and local festivals/events in nearby Franklin and Highlands. Google the Discover Franklin, NC tourism and Macon County Chamber of Commerce websites for attractions and festival/event schedules. 45-minute drive to Cherokee and the Smoky Mountains.
Built in 2018 by Green River Cabins, this "Yearling" model cabin is fully furnished with a kitchen that is ready for cooking, cozy breakfast bar, and barstools, a living room with dual recliner love seat, an electric fireplace, and TV with Blu-Ray/DVD player, full bedroom with a queen-sized bed and plenty of wardrobe and drawer space for all of your personal items, compact washer and dryer, and bathroom with 48” shower, ceiling fans in the living room/kitchen area and bedroom. There is a gas grill on the covered deck for grilling and rocking chairs to sit and enjoy the beautiful view of the mountain across the canyon.
The driveway is fully paved now, no more worry about getting up the gravel driveway or needing all wheel drive, you could climb it easily in a Prius. Getting to the cabin, there are no gravel roads to travel. The upper parking area can accommodate two vehicles. A lower parking area at the base of the drive can accommodate a small vehicle..
The cabin is equipped with Starlink satellite internet service at the cabin with free wi-fi. Speeds can vary depending on weather and other factors, but it's more than plenty for 2 people (100mbps, often more). For streaming, web surfing and e-mail, it's amazingly fast, although you may experience an occasional blip on teleconferencing apps in the summer months.
There is a 50" Roku smart TV in the living room with Blu-Ray player and a selection of DVDs. There is a 32" Roku smart TV in the bedroom. You can log in to your favorite streaming services with Roku (Sling, Hulu, YoutubeTV, Netflix, Amazon, Disney, etc.) and enjoy your favorite shows and movies in the cabin. There is no landline telephone service or local TV channels.
Cellular service in the mountains is spotty so we have installed a cellular booster kit at the cabin. AT&T works best (3-5 bars), Verizon gets a fair service (1-2 bars). One of our recent guests that has Sprint reported that they had cell service at the cabin. We have not tested with other carriers. Cell phone reception can vary depending on the time of year (tree cover), weather, and the phone's internal antenna (some models are better than others). If your phone supports internet calling, just connect it to the Starlink high-speed internet.
We hope you’ll love our little cabin as much as we do and that you will feel relaxed, refreshed, renewed, and reconnected after your stay.
Smoking is allowed outside on the deck with the doors closed, but not inside the cabin.
There is an additional 10% discount for stays 7 nights or longer.

We absolutely loved this cabin! It was clean, comfortable and well stocked with kitchen essentials. The cabin is close to amazing hiking and waterfalls. We can’t wait to come back!

I stayed at John’s Cabin for a week in late July and it was perfect—there’s truly nothing I would have changed. The cabin was spotless, fully stocked with everything I needed, and even more spacious than the photos suggest. The directions for check-in and check-out were crystal clear, and I felt completely at ease knowing where everything was and how it worked.Even in late July, we only used the air conditioning for a couple of hours on two afternoons. At night, we slept with the screened windows open, enjoying the cool mountain air—absolute heaven. The front porch was a dream; listening to the rain on the roof was pure magic, and the mountain view was even more beautiful than the pictures.The location was unbeatable—about 15 minutes from Franklin (including the drive up the mountain), minutes from stunning waterfalls along the Moonshiner, and an easy drive to North Georgia. We had more than enough to do within an hour’s drive for an entire week.The paved driveway is steep and narrow, but we had no trouble getting up in a Ford F-350. If we can make it, so can you. Highly recommend for a summer getaway—just maybe not during the week I want to come back next year.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Oct 2025
Pros: Quiet, nice view, private, good communication from owner, 20 minute drive to town, nice variety of restaurants nearby. Convenient to local attractions, (waterfalls, train ride, shopping, horseback riding, etc ).
Cons: you have to take your own trash off to local convenience center or pay $50 charge to leave it on property. Nice paved driveway, but due to season, was covered in leaves which made it difficult to drive up without car loosing traction. No dishwasher.
