Amazing views

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This property is a great value! We wound our way through a gate and up the mountain for about 5 min on a small paved road to get to the very private home. Each day the ‘smoke’ wove its way in and out of the mountains as if it were performing a show. The hot tub was great after long days of hiking and to view the stars. Kitchen and bathrooms were sufficiently appointed. We brought extra supplies due what the rental agreement said they provided, but we didn’t need them. There were several small deferred maintenance items on the property, but they are only of note because the rental agreement was one of the longer and more litigious I’ve had to sign. We didn’t break anything and weren’t charged for anything, so it worked out. Parking was slightly tricky for us as novice mountain visitors, but we got the hang of it by the end of the week. We only had one car- not sure how well it would handle multiple cars. All told, it is a lovely home and we had a wonderful week. Would definitely rent again!

Great space, view and hot tub

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our 2 families stayed in this house for 5 nights. The views are wonderful. There was plenty of space for us to spread out and do our own thing if we needed to. The beds and pillows were comfortable. The place could use maintenance on a few things: kitchen cabinet doors loose, drawers not connected to the slides in various rooms, burned out light bulbs, molding in kitchen loose and the door to the upstairs bathroom door needs oil or adjusting to open and close more smoothly (noisy). It may seem like a lot, but unless you stay here, you wouldn't notice these things. These are also inexpensive fixes. Overall these did not take away from an enjoyable stay. It would very nice to include a wine bottle opener and an iron.Hot tub and outdoor furniture was great to have. Never ran out of hot water for showers and the water out of the faucet for drinking was great!

Great time, perfect weather

Pros: great view, room for 7 adults to have private space, loved the hot tub! We were comfortable and had a really nice family reunion with perfect weather. Cons (more like fyi, bring stuff): bring spices/oils for cooking, wine glasses (only 2 there), ice if you need right away, charcoal (listing orig said gas grill, removed from listing now).

King Wedding

We traveled from Pennsylvania to attend a wedding. When we first arrived there was no water and the property manager did not tell us this which was an inconvenience because we had to use the next-door cabin’s bathroom until the next day. Other than that the stay was very comfortable, the house was clean and the views were absolutely amazing!

Would stay again

Everything was as listed. The views were amazing and the hot tub felt great! There were only a few small things that could have made things better. The remote to the living room tv was missing. The wifi went out on the first night. And there was a broken chair and a couple broken kitchen drawers. No issues that truly impacted our stay. Would definitely stay again.

Stunning Views pictures do it no justice

The views are forever changing! Not only are the views 10/10 but so is the house. We had plenty of room for 7 adult size people. The hot tub was perfect for all the rainy days, which there was several but it never damped our time. We loved going tubing and the tail of the dragon was a nice surprise when we first drove in! Absolutely would stay again and recommend! Plenty of towels and cooking ware.Beds were uncomfortable but im a bed snob, with my sleep number. Stop looking and stay here! Its worth the single/shared lane up to the house.

Didn't get to stay at lookout lodge as reserved

Received a call the morning we was to check in and was told that there was a water issue and we was moved to another house in another city. Not the same number of bedrooms, not the same view we paid for and nothing to do within 30 minutes like there was with the house originally rented. The house we got moved to was great but not what we booked, made plans around and looked forward to staying in.

Nice home with beautiful Smoky Mtn Views

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: Enjoy our stay very much. The home was spacious for 4 guests for our recent stay. The proximity to downtown Bryson City ~15 minute drive was great too. Directions to the home and access codes were all very helpful. We used the game room table for mahjong and cards and even got to use the hot tub which was very clean and nice. The fireplaces were not operating in the home which was disappointing and I am used to rental homes having more spices stocked and just in general more kitchen cooking supplies, large mixing bowls, pots and pans etc. I wouldn’t recommend anyone visiting to bring their own spices and some larger mixing bowls if they anticipate the need. There was no filtered water but the tap water was fine for drinking. An owners manual to the home would have been helpful too. Overall, would recommend!

Great View - Meh House

Second time renting from Yellow Rose. Second time we’ve had a poorly maintained house. I don’t know how a house built in 2017 could have so many broken drawers. Many pieces of trim and finish either unattached or falling off. The living room TV was hardly usable. Fireplace in the master didn’t work. Foosball table didn’t have a ball, and never heard back from Yellow Rose after they said they’d see if they could send one up. Hot tub lid assist bar wasn’t attached on one side. Kitchen was poorly equipped with junk quality utensils and cookware. Water smelled strongly of sulfur. Decor was sparse and bizarre. Couches look like they lived a previous life in a frat house. Rugs were curled up and worn. The house has a lot of potential, but it’s certainly falling short of it. If you plan to stay, bring trash bags, paper towels, toilet paper, hand soap, drinking water, and any cookware items that is critical to the meals you plan to cook. Definitely affordable, lots of inside and deck space, beautiful view, and close to lots of things you’ll want to do in the area.

Great location and amenities, but maintenance is lacking

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We chose this house for the proximity to Bryson City and for the bonus room with the air hockey table and foosball table. With an 18 month old and 3 1/2 year old the bonus room was great.In general the house is in good condition, but our biggest issue and disappointment by far was the lack of care and maintenance. Some examples:- A dirty pizza cutter in the drawer- Some of the silverware was rusty- Dried food/liquid on the kitchen counter- Unpleasant residue on the underside of the toilet seat- Burnt out lightbulbs in a number of places - front porch (1 of 2 were out), half bath on main level (1 of 3 were out), upstairs bathroom (1 of 3 were out), kitchen (4 of the 7 canned lights were out)- Dead moth on the kitchen floor- The 2 barstools in the kitchen were so wobbly and cheap I would not let any of us sit on themThese were just the things that were obvious and in plain sight. I am sure if I looked further I would have found more. The good news is that all of these things are easily fixable, there just needs to be a new person or company with a higher standard of quality doing the maintenance and property management.

Disappointed

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: For our 30th Anniversary we wanted to include our entire family in our annual mountains vacation this year. We rented Lookout Lodge because of the amenities that were advertised due to the fact that we were bringing young children. The only thing in the game room that worked was the television, air hockey table and foosball table were both broken. Slot machine was unusable as well. House was not clean at all we actually had to scrub the kitchen floor prior to our 2 year old arriving on Thursday due to grime and dirt. Water smelled so bad like sulfur that we could hardly stand to even take showers. Gas fire logs were not lit however the maintenance man did come and get them going as the temps were in the 30s at night. It is a beautiful home that needs a little TLC and some routine care. Views were spectacular and very relaxing, the hot tub was not clean and water foamed up on our first day there. We used it twice and the kids used it as a swimming pool most of the week. We have rented from Yellow Rose for many years now and this is the first time we have ever been disappointed with our rental home.

Great Views from the Mountain Top!

Can’t say enough about the views we woke up to every morning! Kitchen was well stocked, the kids loved the foosball table, and plenty of towels was a great surprise! Only have two things that could be looked into. Turning around was a little difficult from the driveway and would have liked to have had clean windows to view the mountains through. Other than that, a great property to stay in if you have a decent sized crowd.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: View was better than the pictures! Amazing! House was clean and kitchen was great. Hot tub was perfect after our long days in the park. Well maintained, and easy to get to. Only complaint was the wifi was out the whole stay and thus the TV's didn't work at all (the only way to watch was online TV services, no cable/antenna), nor did our devices (laptop/tablets). Customer service was less than desired. Never heard back from them after the first night. Seems to be a recurrent problem as it's in others reviews as well. Don't know if they even worried about it. Physically walked into their building and even though they knew the wifi had been out for a week they tried to blame it on the Microsoft outage (as it was that day). Completely false information! A little bit of honesty would have gone a long way.

Beautiful Views, Poorly Managed

We thoroughly enjoyed the sweeping beautiful views from this cabin. It was spacious and well stocked. We were however very frustrated that we did not have WiFi for the entirety of our stay. We were unable to use the TV or work because there was no WiFi. The property managers at Yellow Rose were not helpful and the owner was unresponsive. We called multiple times and the issue was never resolved. We will visit Bryson City again, but we will avoid Yellow Rose Properties for our next visit.
