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.

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.

Do not rent without reading this

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The second bedroom and bathroom are NOT accessible from the main unit. You must go outside, around to the back and up the stairs to get to it. Two couples, no problem. A family....your children will be far away.

Unique Charm

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We reserved thru VRBO and all communication prior to day of stay came through VRBO however final day check in info came thru the property MGMT company and went to my trash/spam file so I didn't get the check in info. Once I got into the cabin I only saw 1 bed and 1 bath so I had to call back into the emergency line to get directions on how to get to the other room and bathroom. You have to go thru the garage. I would have expected some welcome book to let you know but that wasn't the case. However after those few hiccups on day one the actual cabin was nice and the view to the river out front was beautiful. We had a great stay and enjoyed our time. Oh the heat situation in the upstairs was less than ideal so whoever stays up there should be one that likes it cooler in room if you go in winter.

No fish

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very unhappy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I spent a lot of money for 4 nights expecting to fish at a convenient cabin on the river. Theyre having a drought...tried 4 different places away from the cabin w no luck. I feel they could be courteous and inform me of that problem.The kitchen was adequately stocked with worn out pans and a few pieces of older dinnerware. The fire at night was great! It was clean just outdated. Id probably come back when the water levels return...

Not what I expected

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Advertised as 2 bedroom, and it is, but the 2nd bedroom is over the garage with a back door access that is not ideal for small children. No ac or fan in master bedroom, location is down a steep, sharp curve, light from bathroom went out, couches smelled strongly of dog. Checked out early. Emailed rental company listing issues and no one answered me.Seems like an older man's fishing cabin. Riverside is quaint, but growth around steps not maintained.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family really enjoyed this cabin. The cabin was super clean and felt very cozy. It was very relaxing watching and hearing the river as it flows by. The location was top notch for us. We were about 25 minutes from Western Carolina for an on campus visit for my son. Bryson City is 10 minutes west with plenty of dining options and a quaint little downtown area. Harrah's Cherokee is 10 minutes east.

Cabin by the river

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a fun time on our weekend trip. There were four adults and three small dogs. The cabin living area is small as is the kitchen but the two bedrooms and bathrooms are a good size. The second bedroom is over the garage and the door to go up is on the screened in porch connected to the garage which is different but it works. The second bedroom is basically an efficiency unit with its own couch, table, and kitchenette. The cabin overall is clean and pest free but definitely dated and could use some sprucing up. The kitchen stove is tiny but works. The oven knob is missing so it’s a guess as to what temp it’s set on. The kitchen is stocked for some basic cooking needs. The washer is missing the knob as well so that was a challenge. It’s a great location in front of the river with a screened in porch to listen and enjoy the water. The rental service was helpful. We did have to call for maintenance because the TV wasn’t working. He showed up quickly and got it fixed.

This cabin was amazing. Close to Cherokee NC and Bryson City. Lots of fun things to do. It's right next to the river. The dam is a short walk up the dirt road. People tubing and kayaking down from the dam. Perfect for fishing and pets too. We even saw two beautiful breathe taking Elk. Priceless memories!!!
