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.
Yellow Rose Realty has top rated customer service and has been Locally Owned and Operated Since 1995. We are a company that gives back to the local community and we offer our guests 24/7 Emergency Assistance. View our list of adventure partners to get Special Discounts on Popular Attractions!

Great visit
The place was very clean and close to nearby Bryson City. The only negative remarks are there is no toaster even though the listing says there is. Also, there is a TV but no internet and no satellite to use the TV. Thankfully we were able to use our hotspot. The walls are very thin, so you can hear everything from the other rooms. Bring extra blankets in the winter months. There is only sheets and a thin comforter on the beds. Hot showers though! Overall, I would rent again.

Hurricane hit
The place was absolutely great - definitely not the host or property manager's fault. Hurricane Helene hit and we were forced to evacuate. I can tell you it would have been great otherwise. Right on the water and very nice other than the couches ARE too uncomfortable as stated in other posts. Back porch is awesome with water view!!

Location
Surrounding area was not as described. Loud train, old creepy houses and the river was so dirty. We stayed a night due to fear for our safety. I would give zero star but that wasn’t an option so I have to give 1 star.

Alot of bees outside the house. We got stung a few times thankfully nobidy was allergic to bees on this trip. Also on Thursday our kids was outside placing and some guys that said they worked for the owner of the residence were outside walking around the property. One of the guys had a gun on his waist which is fine however an announcement that they were coming to look through the storage under the house would have been more appropriate. Especially considering the children ages ranging from 6 to 14 were outside at the time. 3 star rating due to these listed items.

Very deceiving okay
One son got there the night before everybody else and advised us not to even come and stay location was horrible, trailer right outside the front door house sits right off of main bridge. And then the one night he did stay there somebody tried to break in the back window of his truck. So the rest of the family that was supposed to go we decided not to go at all and put our lives or vehicles at risk. It's just a shame that we lost so much money on renting a place that was very deceiving with their pictures. My advice do not rent this place

Reviewer Comments: It was an awesome little cozy cabin for me and my family super close to the casino but far enough outside where the traffic don’t bother you the river, running right in front of it adds a certain level of serenity to the place we arrived and noticed that the place was immaculate clean beds were everything looked freshly made well totally arrange another day with yellow rose Realty again

New years rental
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: Stay was a good one. The mattress in the master bed room could probably be replaced. It's quite springy and my friends couldn't sleep on it well. I'm not sure that housekeeping cleaned the place before we got there. There was a used bar of soap in the shower and the tub didn't look to be cleaned. I don't think the sheets had been washed. The pillows and lamp were in the floor upon our arrival. We did have clean towels and floors. I wouldnt say it looked dirty though, I just tend to inspect a place before I stay in it. Overall we were satisfied with it. I would rent from yellowrose again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed staying here! We didn’t have any issues and loved it being close to Bryson City, but away from all the hustle and bustle in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. We loved the back porch area close to the river and the kids loved being able to run outside and wave at the train every time it came by!

Disappointed
Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. 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 do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were very much looking forward to our riverfront vacation and listening to the sounds of the river. The house appears to have been updated recently however the surrounding area does not make you feel very safe. There are several abandoned homes directly in front of the property and several dogs who roam free and swim in the river right next to the house. The bridge is very close to the home and vehicle/road noise drowns out any sounds of peace. Sleeping is nearly impossible between the dogs barking, passing road traffic and lights from the cars shining directly into the master bedroom, curtains would be a great addition. After long days of adventuring in nature, the kids enjoy being able to unwind watching tv or utilizing electronics which they weren’t able to do due to the home not having internet. The listing for this home does not state that there is no WIFI or internet even though the TV has internet? Upon calling we were told there direct tv but there wasn’t direct tv but a smart tv with only apps for the guest to use their own streaming accounts on. We do not feel comfortable entering our personal information into a stranger’s television and this should be advertised. We wouldn't have rented this property if we had known. Most dishes were dirty upon arrival and had to be washed before using and the kitchen lacks amenities including a toaster. We will not be returning to this property as there are plenty of options which would allow us to enjoy the beautiful landscape of the area.

Too expensive for the quality of the home
I wouldn't describe our stay at this little home on the river as awful, but we did expect a lot more for the price. It does back up to the river, and the back porch is nice, but the interior of the home was what one might expect from a low-end motel. No modern updates, and it didn't seem as though it had been thoroughly cleaned in a while. If you're looking for a spot for a bunch of dudes to crash after you spend most of your time at Harrah's Casino, I would say this is a good spot. If you're bringing your family up to the mountains for hiking, etc., I'm not sure you're going to be happy with your choice. The management company was easy to work with, they provided a lot of towels, and it had a lot of coffee cups, dishes, pots and pan. We paid about $300 per night with the fees, and I think it was worth about half that amount.

Relaxing Riverside escape!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was an excellent rental. We had such a great time staying here. The master bedroom has a beautiful view. We raised the windows at night and listened to the river at night! The back porch is so nice being directly by the river. The beds were all very comfortable and the kitchen was fully furnished. The only complaint we have was the steps leading down to the river by the porch are treacherous. One of our family members fell and almost landed in the rocks. This really needs a hand rail to help steady you as you descend.

Polar Express
We stayed and went on the Polar Express with GSMR in neighboring Bryson City. The North Pole on the train ride is located 1 street up from the house. The area itself is a little run down and the the town of Whittier is dead. However, you are close to Dillsboro and Cherokee. We enjoyed our stay. I would say if you don’t want to hear multiple trains a day and are looking for a more lively city this isn’t the place for you. If you are renting just to stay out and enjoy a river view this is perfect. The house appeared recently remodeled. Nice towels, washer/dryer was clean, kitchen was well equipped.

Relaxing river view
House is as advertised. Very close to Sylva, Bryson City & Cherokee. Bring your own pots and pans if you plan to do a lot of cooking only a few small frying pans a huge pot and small pot available. ( we don't, so not a big deal for us. ) Also bring a toaster as there isn't one. Neighborhood seems very safe except for a thieving black dog 😆 that will steal your fishing bait and shoes. There were 3 families and we left during the day without locking the doors with no issues. Didn't lock car doors at night either. Yes, there is a trailer on the lot in front, but don't judge. Didn't even see anyone come or go from there.
