    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 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!

Perfect romantic getaway

If you are looking for a perfect, secluded spot in the mountains this place is for you! The cabin was perfect, the views are absolutely incredible! There's really no words to describe just how perfect this place was! It was the perfect place for my husband and I to "log out and unplug" from the world and everyone! We will definitely be back!

Great Cabin

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. 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: If you’re looking for a remote location away from people, this is perfect. The views from the deck are unparalleled. Note that you’re going to spend 15 minutes on a single Lane gravel road to get to the cabin but you will be by yourself. We had a mama bear and two cubs come up onto the gravel parking area while we were there. The view is so beautiful that I bought my daughter, a watercolor set to paint it.

Great location, some minor concerns

This property is beautiful, secluded, and the views can’t be beat! We had a great week, although we felt like some minor updates would go a long way- the stove burners didn’t like to light, and the downstairs bed desperately needs a new mattress or at least a topper. When we woke up on the day of checkout, there was no water. While I understand that things happen, it was incredibly frustrating to get no response on the “emergency number.” Also, renters should be aware that they are responsible for taking all of their trash to the rental office, which is a good 40 minutes from this property. Some small changes would go a long way to make this property amazing 😊

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I am thankful that Yellow Rose Realty was able to find accommodations for me after the cabin I originally rented was unreachable because of a road being out. However, this property was severely outdated. There was a hornets nest on an exterior window and several hornets in the house in the bedroom and the hall bathroom. This cabin has a wonderful view, but is quiet literally on the top of a mountain and is difficult to get to. I was extremely unhappy with the condition of this cabin, especially since I originally paid for a cabin closer to town and with better quality. Additionally, the heat did not work for part of the weekend, and the cabin was 55 degrees. I will not be staying in this cabin again and would advise anyone I spoke with to do the same.

Yearly Summer Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very unhappy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The dishes were dirty, we had to wash prior to use. There was also a snake infestation under the hot tub. We did not realize this until a few days in. Kind of scary that my children were going in and out of the hot tub at the same location the snakes were going in and out. So we were not able to use the hot tub for the rest of the week. When we opened the door to the hot tub, there were snakes everywhere. We left early and did not stay for our whole rental. The only thing good about this cabin was the view.

Absolutely Amazing View

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Amazing view! Cabin was nice. Long steep narrow gravel road with sharp turns but so worth it! My minivan made it up and down just fine. Comfortable beds. Nice hot tub. Rat snake does live under hot tub but is harmless. Plenty of kitchenware. Would definitely stay again!

great view

The view was breathtaking, but the house could use some improvements. When we arrived the house didn't look as it was cleaned, with dirty floors, counters, and dishes. There were cobwebs inside the house and dirty bathrooms. There were boxers and other things left outside on the picnic table. The dishwasher did not work and seemed to make the dishes dirtier. We also didn't know the third bedroom was on the bottom floor and there was only one tv in the entire house- not great with a family. The only other complaint is driving 30 minutes out of the way to drop off the trash. This isn't a place I would rent again or a company I would rent from.

Beautiful view

We loved staying here and the view is breath taking. There needs to be signs up with the directions Pointing to the cabin as you get up the mountain. The paper directions and the gps didn’t help. Finally out last night there we didn’t get lost on the mountain looking for the cabin. :) overall I would definitely rent again.

Always a great view!

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: We always look forward to staying here. Everyone loves the view, seclusion, and layout of the cabin. Main living room furniture update is a major plus. Finally! Probably not the best place for someone who isn't accustomed to driving curvy dirt roads up a mountain. However, the view is worth the drive! A few things need updating or fixing: the hot tub needs to be updated because the jets aren't that strong. Seems worse than our last visit. AC went out the day before we left. Definitely wasn't pleasant in the upper level of the house without air. Need better pest control. My son found little black bugs in his bed. Kitchen sink faucet needs to be fixed. The whole thing moved when turning on the water. Many wasp nests outside the house. We bought wasp spray and took care of some due to my severe allergies to them. Left the can on top of fridge for future guests.All in all we still love this place. Look forward to our next visit!

Yes and no...

I will start out with a plus. The view was specular. The cabin was great. Yellow Rose Realty however could use some improvement. The directions to the cabin are useless..roads are not clearly marked or visible and would be a good idea to let out of state travelers know that it is a steep grade up the mountain... Had I driven my convertible instead of my SUV..I would have not made it up the mountain. No road names are present nor was the address to nelsons view any where in sight. It could be easily posted on the gate...the only way we knew we were at the right location was that the key fit in the door..really.?.. My sister ended up getting her car stuck...pointless to give a phone number if we had a hard time finding said cabin...no phone service ..at all..in the dark..we would have never found it. And going to the office to pick up keys after hours is inconvenient as is dropping off trash.. The cabin was nice...but do inform people of the drive up and the road conditions..
