Very easy and convenient location, simple instructions, and nice view.
We enjoyed our stay at this vacation rental. Check-in was smooth. The house was very clean. Location was great . The only complaint I had was the king size bed was not comfortable.
Thank you for allowing us into your home. So relaxing and comfortable. We were in Cherokee 37 years ago for our honeymoon. First time back. Great house! It was close to all we wanted . Very clean and cozy. We would love to come back.

This is one of the best VRBO’s I have ever visited. What a cute little home and it’s conveniently located, clean and neat, and somewhat secluded. I will definitely stay here again.

Met the owner and he was a very nice man. We stayed in on Thursday morning to let WIFI people change a router. We were given a discount for the day. Thought we would stay an extra day and paid for an extra but then decided to leave because of rain. The house and location are perfect.
The property was great! We could see the casino from front porch. Within walking distance to it as well. Clean and just right for our stay!! Will definitely book this rental for future Harrah’s trips!

Great location. Nice house, could use some minor fixes. Could have been a little cleaner. Had an issue with lights, quick to respond to fix them. Would stay again.

Thank you for the review. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and we hope to see you again soon.
Everything was nice but I would suggest new pans and utensils. Master bedroom could use a new mattress. Location was great. It was nice to have paper products already there. We would rent it again.

Close to Harrah’s. Neat and clean house. Needs more kitchen supplies (pots & pans, utensils , potholders). One of the chairs on side porch has an arm that’s not connected to chair, with screws/nails exposed. I reported to property management our last stay, but it had not been fixed. I would definitely recommend and stay here again!

Hi there! Thank you for the wonderful review. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and we hope to see you again soon!
This property looked clean and well maintained in surface but was not deeply cleaned or sanitary. There was a huge lack of kitchenware and cookware available to use.

The kitchen is significantly under stocked. After fixing a bean dish on one of the stove eyes, we wanted to serve it in a dish that was microwaveable…no serving bowls period, to my recollection.One of the eyes on the stove needs attention. It appeared as though the outer coil worked, but not the inner coil.
Plenty of room nice clean place. Internet didn’t work they came and fixed right away. House is clean but the king bed is a nightmare the side dips so bad you feel like you’ll fall off so my husband slept on the couch during our stay. I do wish kitchen was more equipped mixing bowl better pans and silverware that doesn’t feel like plastic. Now don’t get me wrong it’s a great place just be prepared if your cooking. We love this area it’s convenient to everything
When I got there the house was uncleaned and nasty. I made a phone call and they were [very concerned and had a cleaning lady come out at 7 pm to clean house. Other than that it was great.
The house was clean. Great location. Driveway is skinny but fine. The bathrooms are very nice. The house needs to be updated. The bed's squeak was terrible in both rooms. The floor was soft in so many spots there is a terrible transition spot from kitchen to den and is a hazard. The front door in to the house needs a rug on the inside that is no slip. We almost fell several times do to the wetness and the. Hitting the tile floor. Overall the stay was fine for the price. The musty smell started to subside after the second day.

Reviewer Comments:
Asked for early check in, was told we had to wait for cleaning crew to clean property. We had no problem waiting, cleaning crew was able to complete early. We entered at 2pm, upon arrival sticky drink rings on the bar& wet wash cloth in chair. Butter left on countertop. Later that evening we noticed mouse poop on the countertop, kitchen table and in the refrigerator. The mouse came out to visit from behind the stove. We called numerous times Saturday weren’t able to get ahold of anyone. So we were stuck with the mice for the weekend. We finally got a someone Monday morning and was told yeah we know we’ve had pest control out last week and sorry for the inconvenience. D’con mouse trap was laying on the floor by the fireplace and poison was visible in different areas of the house. Very unsafe!! I’ve been renting places in Cherokee for 15 years and never had problems with mice, roaches or bed bugs until staying at this property. We are still waiting on a call back from a supervisor! This was the first time renting from Yellow Rose and we will never rent from them again. I have pictures of the the poop on the counter, table, fridge and the mouse.
