Conveniently located within 15 minutes of both the Deep Creek and Cherokee entrances to Great Smoky Mountains National Park, guests can easily explore the park's natural wonders.

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.

We enjoyed our stay, cabin is in a very peaceful and quiet area. Good scenery. Close to Bryson and Cherokee. Cabin and furnishings could use a little TLC, but it would be a place I would like to stay again.

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.
