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!

Serenity at it's b

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!!!

We WILL be back!

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 VRBO experience was absolutely exceptional. The owners have clearly set this place up with dogs in mind! This is a very safe place to bring your pups for a vacation. The close proximity to the river is fantastic as well. We did not use the upper bedroom, but it is very beautiful. We plan to come back here.

Not as expected

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: The two bedrooms mentioned aren't in the same area. This place is more like 2 separate apartments. The main level is smaller than it looks in the pictures. The kitchen is very cramped. The coffee maker is an OLD drip coffee maker. The wall sockets on the wall the fridge is on, didn't work. The flatware was very random and OLD. I'm 5'1" tall and the microwave was above my head! The bathroom is tiny and when you pull the thing on the faucet in the tub to operate the shower, most of the water still pours out of the faucet causing very poor water pressure. To get to the other "bedroom", you have to go out the front door and unlock the garage door that is to the right. The upstairs area is adorable and cozy,though. The bathroom was a nice size but has a sloped ceiling. My husband who is 6'3" would bump his head when he was in there. There is baseboard heating. The bathroom one works slightly. The main area one didn't work at all. There was a very cute space heater that looked like an iron fireplace. It did not get it very warm up there when the temperature got in the low 40s. It was nice being next to the river, but that isn't enough to being us back.

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.

Wonderful spot

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: Cabin was beautiful, had some minor maintenance quirks, but overall a wonderful little cabin. Location was wonderful. Elk came right up in the yard, had fun chasing fireflys with the kids, and caught a few trout right in front of the house.
