Log Cabin with all the amenities! Fully operational post Helene - pwr/water/wifi

Nestled within the heart of the Smoky Mountains and surrounded by the Nantahala National Forest lies this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom Franklin NC vacation rental!
With its well stocked kitchen, cozy interior, and patio with a salt water hot tub and mountain views, this cabin offers something for everyone. Spend your days kayaking at Nantahala Outdoor Center or trout fishing the many rivers and creek in the area! Go for a hike to see the many waterfalls in the area too! Return home to relax in the hot tub before ending the night by the fire pit under the stars!
The Carolina Moon Cabin is a beautiful 2400 sq. ft. log cabin with plenty of room for you to spread out and relax! The kitchen is well stocked with all the utensils you could need. We have also great supply of spices for anyone wanting to cook at the cabin. Flour, sugar, coffee (and filters) are all here too! And we have a green egg to grill or smoke on as well!
Tucked away amongst the Rhododendron and Mountain Laurel, you will not find a more relaxing atmosphere. Detached garage and a fire pit to cook those yummy smores! The mountain views are to the west of the cabin, meaning you have beautiful sunsets every night! They are truly stunning and something to plan your evening around! Grab one of the rocking chairs on the covered deck and gaze off in the distance..
Master king bedroom with full bath on the main level. The loft area has a queen bed and two twin beds along with a card/game table. The finished basement level has another king bedroom, full bath, as well as two sets of bunk beds and a sectional couch with a 65” tv. We also have added a 12 game arcade console (Miss Pacman, Asteroids, etc) - totally stand alone arcade game!
The family room is well appointed with a comfortable couch and loveseat as well as our favorite - the cow chairs!
7 person Hot Springs salt water hot tub to help you relax is just outside the basement doors!
.
While we are remote, we have decent internet access! Everyone can connect and use their devices.

All TVs connect via the internet - so you can stream whatever you choose or use our YouTube TV account to watch your favorite channels.

We are 25 minutes to downtown Franklin and 40 minutes to Highlands.

Per VRBO guidelines, we are disclosing that we do have a security camera located on the outside of the cabin. The camera is pointed down the driveway as well as over the back deck / fire pit area and does not cover any areas inside of the cabin.

Mountain Paradise
Simply wonderful. I did have my heart skip a few times on the single-lane dirt road to get to the cabin, but it was worth the wait! Immaculate, the best stocked rental property I've ever seen, and 99.9% of everything worked (that's usually 80-85%). And I'm being picky. We like to change it up and go to different places in the WNC mountains. We will come back here!

Wonderful cabin
Extremely clean and spacious cabin in a lovely setting. It was a great place to gather with family. We loved all the outdoor seating options, the view, the fire pit, and the privacy of the location. Also enjoyed cooking in the kitchen, sharing meals, and playing games. Kitchen had all we needed and we highly recommend this home.

Private and comfy for our fam of 7
The moonstone mountain cabin is cute and comfy for our family of 7. We chose this for the pictures online of a western view and the hot tub. The view and the summertime is a little overgrown by trees in the way. You do have a little sliver of the mountains that you can see . It was nice that it did have spices and kitchen items needed. But bring your own paper towels and maybe some heavy garbage bags bc you have to take your own trash 20-30 min away. We made the drive for the first time in rain and it was a little scary for us and the road does have a large dirt section that will get all over your car FYI. This is also really a two bedroom and two common areas to sleep. It was fine for my five kids, though. They loved the downstairs living area. Very comfy and lots of games. The place is decorated really cute and they had cute welcome items like coozies and a hat with their logo. I thought that was amazing. We enjoyed the hot tub the first two nights which was nice after hiking all day, but on the third night we noticed a very foul smell. We ran the cycle several times, but it never went away. So that was a little disappointing. other than that, it is a great place to stay. I would recommend it!

Great get away
We had a wonderful time in NC. Your cabin was a great home base for our adventures. We were all able to sit down to meals together at the large table. I had everything I needed to prepare our food in your kitchen. We enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub after our hikes. The boys lit a fire in the fire pit almost every night. The sunsets were spectacular, and the view magnificent. We had a wonderful spring break with our children and a couple of their friends. We were able to put the girls in the loft and the boys on the bottom floor. Plenty of space for everyone!

Beautiful cabin
We loved the stay at the Carolina Moon Cabin. The best stocked I have ever stayed! All spices, coffee, etc. just about anything you needed! I have a rental in Louisiana and Steve has me beat on that! The beds were fabulous, very clean, perfect stay!! The only worry we had was the last part of the road up to the cabin. I was scared. We are older 65-78 so we’re not prepared and came in after dark. But still a fabulous stay! And Steve was GREAT! Thank you

Out in the beautiful mountains!
This cabin is awesome. The decorating is beautiful and very detailed. Very clean!!! Hot tub is awesome! The king bed i slept in was very comfortable. Loved the master bathroom. I get motion sickness and i drove to the cabin. And although there were great directions, i made a wrong turn and needless to say I was upset. A lady whose house was behind a gate saw me. And she helped me. What a nice lady. The owner gives direct phone number to message and i got there early and asked if I could wait in driveway. He messaged me back and said i could go in. The cabin is for ten people. There were only two of us. But you would have plenty of room for ten! Description of cabin is spot on! I will be back.

This home is wonderful. It is far enough out that there is complete silence at night while we sat around the fire or in the hot tub, but still close enough to access lots of fun activities and amenities. We fell in love with the area!

Loved everything about the property. Furniture was very comfortable, had fire wood onsite for us to have a fire in the fire pit, and the hot tub was awesome too. Went gem mining at Rose Creek gem nine and had a beer at Currahee Brewery. Highly recommend both. We will be back here for sure - the fall colors have to be amazing!

Immaculate & cozy, the owners thought of everything!
We were beyond pleased! The listing photos make this place look great, but it was even better than we’d imagined. The views are gorgeous, everything was incredibly neat, tidy, & clean, and the owners have left so many extra touches to make the stay more comfortable. Not only is there a basket of towels by the back door for hot tub use, but there’s a towel rack beside the hot tub so towels don’t get dirty or wet. They’ve left fire starters for the fire pit as well as every kitchen utensil or dish we could’ve wanted. We were warm and cozy inside on some very cold days and our family had a memorable time enjoying one another as we celebrated Christmas.

This cabin was wonderful for our family’s Thanksgiving gathering. It is beautifully decorated and so cozy. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed for cooking. The downstairs was amazing for the kids, with two bunk beds, games, and a big TV. We enjoyed time outside by the campfire, watching the sunset over the mountain ridge, and hiking up and down the dirt/gravel road that the cabin is on. Wonderful weekend. Thank you for sharing your beautiful cabin with us.

The property is fantastic. Just the two of us stayed, but we have already saved it in our favorites for the future with our family. There wasn’t anything that we needed l, that wasn’t available. You probably want to make sure you have all the groceries you need when you get there. We stayed here because our daughter is at WCU, we may stay here instead of Asheville in the future as well.
