Before you pack up the car and head for the mountains, know that when we say mountains, we really mean it!

Downtown Bryson City has an elevation of 1,752 feet, so think of this as a starting point. The majority of our cabins will have a higher elevation than this. This means that our roads- both state and private- will be steeper, narrower, and curvier than you may be use to driving. Also, you should expect to encounter gravel roads. Consider it part of our rural mountain charm!

Here at Yellow Rose, your safety is our priority. If a cabin requires 4 wheel, front wheel, or all wheel drive to access it, it will be listed in the description. If bringing or riding motorcycles, please call and ask for motorcycle friendly properties. If you have any concerns about accessing your rental, please call prior to your arrival and we will be happy to discuss it with you.

Very disappointed!

The cabin was listed as two bedrooms but it was one bedroom with an apartment above the garage. This needs to be listed differently. A family with children would have been out of luck because the kids couldn’t stayed in the apartment by themselves. Not what we were looking for. We are 81 and 85 wanted to have a few days with our daughters but we were separated. The screened in porch had not been swept, spiderwebs hadn’t been swept down in cabin and dirty washcloth found hanging in both bathrooms. It hadn’t been dusted, my daughter wrote her name on the furniture. We were very disappointed.

Cabin on the river

Nice place,but the dryer was broken. Was told that they were going to send a technician out, but never did. There were very few channels on the TV to watch. Pay attention when booking, because I did not realize that there was no internet when we booked. Could use a few more supplies as far as trash bags and such and and appliances that were not old and actually worked.

DONT Use Yellow Rose Realty!

The home was falsely listed & images are ancient! Place was filthy & couldn't breath due to animal urine. It was not a home: it was 2 Apts in one house! Kids can't b separated from parents! & No closets to use. I wouldn't give it a high rank of Motel 6!! Realtor put us in another cabin further away-- a fisherman's cabin! It was an upgrade = to Days Inn quality. But no washer, dryer, or dishwasher. No Welcome basket nor any home instructions other than what realtor emailed me. Had to request pots & pans to cook with bc ones in cabin were pure trash! No yard for our dog bc dogs from neighborhood kept coming over pooping by our cabin! No curtains, just cheap blinds--some broken. We had to wear shoes inside bc floors were so filthy & it has nails sticking up to catch socks! Mouse droppings never cleaned up & "body oil" left in one of kids beds! No counters & u must b taller than 5'9 to reach the 2 kitchen cabinets & microwave. Stove under burners looks like it's never bn cleaned.TV fire hazard w over 4 cords plugged into cheap house extension cord-- it should b a surge protector. Picnic table outside unusable bc it's falling apart. Felt like bn in a sardine can compared to vacation rentals we are accustomed to. We're use to Hampton/Hilton quality homes so this experience was extremely disappointing! Oh, & Yellow Rose only refunded me a whole $67 for my inconvenience!! DONT Use them unless u prefer Motel 6 quality & disappointment from fakse listings!

2nd bedroom is on top of the garage with back access door that is not good for people with kids. No ac or fan in master bedroom. Light went out in bathroom. Couches smelled heavily like dog. Very small. Road to access is sharp downward turn. Seems like older man’s fishing cabin.

Wonderful Family Experience

Will absolutely be staying here again. It was my wife and I and 2 kids under 7 years old and it was perfect. Plenty of room outside for the kids to run and play, close to the river so we could fish, and very quiet. Woke up a couple of mornings to find elk walking across the river and through the yard. Highly recommend.

Would Not Stay Again

Property was not clean. Smelled of wet dog inside. Screened porch is in need of rescreening- holes and screen falling allowing birds inside. Not enough cooking and eating utensils. Washer and dryer did not work properly. Some electrical outlets did not work. The grass was a foot high upon arriving and had to call to get it cut (which was taken care of promptly). The oven knob is missing - someone had moved one of the burner knobs over to it - so you didn't know what temp you were actually baking at. It says it will sleep 6 however I am not sure where 6 people would sit to eat. Cannot fit 4 inside. The picnic table outside has rotten boards for sitting. Pets allowed notification needs to be listed on the main page. Dog hair was everywhere and again I will mention the house smelled of wet dog. Access to the upstairs was not adequate to the living space. You must go outside and into the garage to access the upstairs. Maybe not very secure with the neighbor having a key to the garage. The road between the house and river is busy with locals coming to fish etc. This could be a very nice place if it was taken care of.

Cozy

The cabin was quite cozy and cute. There is only one split heating/AC unit for the entire cabin which heats the main living area well, but the bedroom was a bit cold. There aren't any closets to hang clothes or any extra blankets. It had a fairly stocked kitchen with just about every pot/pan/utensil I needed to cook. The bed was fabulous - best sleep I've had.

Beautiful cabin tucked away near the mountains

We loved our visit to this property! It was close to the mountains, shopping and casino. The cabin had everything needed and really liked the split layout. The river was super close and very peaceful. The only frustrating thing about our stay was the neighbors dogs on both sides of us did not once use a leash. The dogs were constantly in the yard or running in front of our vehicles when coming or going barking at us. I was very worried I was going to hit one. The neighbors didn't seem to care, they just stared at us and let their dogs chase after us.

Kings River Cabin

My grandsons loved the place. Great location on the river about half way between Cherokee and Bryson City. The sleeping areas were as advertised. Had a hard time figuring some things out. Examples: how to get to upstairs bedroom; and how to use TV’s not in main room. A homeowner manual would have been nice. Some things didn’t work or were broken. Microwave in main kitchen did not work. Knob on oven was missing. Not the cleanest place I’ve stayed. Someone had burned plastic or something on stovetop. Whole place could stand a good cleaning. Heat worked great. TV in main room with cable worked good. Loved being on the river and having place to play in yard. Very accessible to restaurants in Cherokee or Bryson City.

Horrible check in

Upon checking in and driving approximately 4 hours, out cabin had no running water due to freezing temperatures. I was furious that property manager didn’t call prior to my arrival to inform me. Instead she tried downgrade our stay from a 2 bedroom 2 bathroom to a 2 bedroom 1 bathroom and we had no hot water the entire first night. Maintenance didn’t show up until approximately 9:30 next morning. We requested refund and checked out and found a much nicer cabin but it was difficult because we had chosen to bring our dogs because initial cabin was pet friendly. Will never use Yellow Rose realty again.

Not family friendly

Dirty. Poor directions. Dam Road is not marked. If traveling on hwy 19 North look for Loyds hotel on left. Don’t turn there but turn immediately after the blue house about 100 yards from there. It’s a gravel drive not a road and there is no sign. The two bedroom cabin is really two bedrooms separated by a garage and there’s no access to your kids unless you leave all doors to the outside unlocked! Dirty furniture. Dirty dishes. No blankets. Torn pillow cases. Dog hair and smoke smells. Noxious odors from garage. Chemicals and gas cans in garage (and the kids were supposed to sleep above the garage!) Garbage from previous tenants all over the yard. Only good thing is the awesome location and the front yard with a beautiful river. Not at all safe for kids however!

Enjoyed our stay after issue with check-in. Would have been nice to hear from property manager when I contacted emergency number for check-in information. Thank you to let friendly gentleman I got ahold of the next morning about mixup with rental agreement. Overall, it was nice to sit back and relax in the little cottage we rented. We got a little bit of fishing done in between the rain.
