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.

This cabin is in a perfect location. Located in a cul-de-sac. Great for our family vacation. Close to town and close to river across road. No worry about traffic.

It was a great stay . The cabin really needs a deep cleaning but otherwise we had a great time in Cherokee
The property was very peaceful and clean. Quite surroundings yet close to everything. Carpet is not in good shape but that did not bother us. It was clean just has bad places..we loved it. So cozy and neat. We will stay here everytime we come if possible. Communication with property manager was outstanding. Highly recommend.

Good location. Definitely could use updating the heating systems and some major sealing of windows, doors, etc. Was not too unexpected but I could see where some would hate it. There were spider webs throughout but pretty clean otherwise. Carpet and furniture could use a refresh. Never connected to any wifi.

This is a very unique property. I loved the history of the place and this was the only time I've ever stayed in an 1800's log cabin. We loved fishing on the river and seeing the elk, bear, and turkeys. Cherokee is a very neat place with so much history and nature. Loved it!

Hunting/fishing cabin conditions
Old and musty couch, Bat and mice in cabin; bathtub drain nearly plugged, mismatched pots and serving plates— fuses needed to be turned on to get heat. Plenty of nice quilts to stay warm.
Anticipated low standards at price, but simple attention would correct many issues.

A true flea bag place
This place had cob webs everywhere, not clean at all and infested with fleas. And a dirty toilet, a shower fit for a 4ft person and the added hand held was just that a hand held. The carpet is stained.

Hi there. I am sorry that your stay was not up to standard. We have our cabins on a monthly pest control program, and we did send someone from our pest control company during your stay to treat for fleas. We were unaware of any other issues during your stay. Had we known, we could have sent our cleaners and maintenance team to take care of these issues. We also refunded a portion of your stay for the inconvenience during your stay. Thank you, Yellow Rose
Really enjoyed our time. These are some issues we found
Coffee pot had molded filter from coffee grounds being left in it. Could have been cleaner. The mat in the bathtub felt very unclean. We purchased a new one. It felt MUCH BETTER. Also purchased a new bath mat for the floor. I hope these purchases were OK. We left them there. I don't know if you knew it but the refrigerator ran at least 90% of the time, it worked well, kept things cold.
The building is in need of repair. Eaves are rotting, bedroom floor is sinking on left side of the bed. Against the wall. This is our assessment -- we would stay there again.

Disappointing
The cabin needs to be updated. Heat was wall heaters near baseboard and in walls. One in living room did not work at all. One in bedroom’s knob was missing. Cobwebs everywhere, fireplace smell was overwhelming. Upstairs loft bedroom had cobwebs that have been there very long time with a hole in the floor that you could fall through if not watching where walking or in dark. We stayed one night out of two and came home as we were very uncomfortable in the cabin. The maintenance man was great and appreciated him going the extra mile for us to get heat.

Hi there. I am sorry you experienced issues during your stay. I am glad that our maintenance man was able to help get you warm and comfortable for the evening. After your departure he was able to fix the floor heaters. We are sorry we couldn't get them working during your stay.
My husband & I stayed in this cabin on Oct. 12-15. We were a little disappointed! Outside of the cabin is so cute, except for a few cobwebs & chairs we didn’t dare sit on. Once we stepped inside there was a definite strong musty smell! Thank goodness I brought my diffuser & immediately put it to work & it stayed on for our entire stay. The kitchen was adequate, we cooked breakfast every morning & had our coffee. The cabin needs updated, new furniture BADLEY! The bed creaked at every turn! The sofa was so uncomfortable my husband wouldn’t even sit on it! He was more comfortable in a chair!The bathroom was a great size, but the shower was a joke! You have to be 4 foot tall or shorter to get under the shower head, therefore it had a handheld shower nozzle too! The entire place needs a deep cleaning! Dust & cobwebs everywhere, powerful musty smell! Like I said in the title, this place has SO MUCH POTENTIAL! With a little TLC it could be a great place! We were so excited to be staying in an 1800s cabin, but unfortunately we we will not be back! I would not recommend this cabin.

Hi there. We are sorry your experience with us was negative. We will discuss the furniture issue with the owner. We will also discuss the cleanliness with the housekeeping staff. We do deep clean our units yearly, typically in the spring when things are slower. Thank you for bringing the rest of the issues to our attention so that we can address them.

I enjoyed my stay in Cabin in the pines #3. The location was very good for activities in Cherokee.I do think that the stairs need to have some direct lighting on them as they are deep steps and curve at the bottom. It's very close to the tubing, which we enjoyed.

Pictures posted did not exactly show condition of the cabin. Doesn’t take much to use a broom to remove cobwebs from porch decorations. Inside carpet was filthy, kitchen table sticky and floor coming up and full of bugs, large spiders in LR, Bedroom had more of same and a sidewinder worm in carpet, bathroom somewhat clean w/flooring again coming up and cobwebs and spider nests w/spiders and other critters. Closet was not fit for clothes due to dirt,dust, etc. and dirty vacuum stored. I don’t believe it had been cleaned. We feel like it had not been inspected in a long time. My grandparents lived on a farm and would have never had guests see or stay in such a mess. Returns to Cherokee will happen but not to cabin #4. Pictures are available if you would like to see and we left no dog hair from my ESA.

Only heater working was in bathroom... NO Heat except fireplace. Sewage backing up had to use plunger in commode and shower... Been staying here 50 yrs now and First real problem. Firewood $60 1/2 cord. Apparently nobody knows just what a cord is . A cord is 4 ft high 4ft EIDE & 8 ft long this wood was 3 ft high x4 ft x15 inches.... But location is great cabins ARE rustic but before heaters ALL WORKED. WE SURVIVED AND a normal stay became an adventure to stay warm.Cabins have always been clean. Just need some work on heaters.
