I was absolutely blown away by this house. We were there for a week of riding motorcycles & this was the perfect house the four for us. From the hot tub to the fire pit and all the amenities inside were perfect. Screened in porch area was great while we waited for the rain to stop. I will 100% look at Yellow Rose for our next vacation in North Carolina.

We had a great stay at Bear Trot cabin. The layout was perfect for 2 families to each have separate areas and the dividing play area was the icing on the cake. The home was fully stocked with everything you need and the decorations made us feel right at home. Looking forward to our next stay!!

Clean, lovely home in a beautiful setting! Highly recommend!
Our group had the best stay here at Bear Trot! Check-in was easy and everything was very clean. Beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was nice. This is in a great location close to everything. We would definitely love to stay here again!
Had a great time staying at this home. The kitchen had everything we needed and the hot tub was perfect. The location was an ideal jumping off point for visiting the national park and very close to restaurants in Bryson City (there was also a grocery store very close).
We loved our stay! Not sure the pilot light was lit on the gas log

Reviewer Comments:
The house was great. Very convenient location. Our grandkids enjoyed the hot tub. One bedroom unfortunately had either ants or termites crawling in from the ceiling, but the rental agency sent someone out to spray and that appeared to solve the problem. We recommend this house to others
The cabin was lovely. So quiet! Everything was so clean and new. Easy to find; GPS took us right to it. I recommend it to anyone and will be back when in the area with family.
