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.

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 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).

Beautiful Views

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. 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: 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.

Beautiful location and Clean house but technology alot to be desired

We had a family of teenage kids which technology is very important and the tv did not work as well as the wifi. Also the downstairs fans did not work. The house overall was excellent but the technology and contact with the host is much to be desired.

Decompress

The property was beautiful. The view was amazing, above what we could have expected. It was the perfect place to decompress. Get away from the hustle and bustle. It went beyond our expectations. We just wish we had more time to spend here. Such tranquility.

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 cabin is in a beautiful location with the most amazing views. It has a very nice open layout downstairs that shows off the views from everywhere. It’s a little odd that the upstairs balcony can only be reached through one of the bedrooms, not the master bedroom. Would have been nice if it extended all the way across. Overall, we had a fantastic time and would definitely recommend.

Great house, beautiful views

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 house was great for our family vacation. Having 4 bedrooms was perfect for our group, the kitchen is very well equipped with all the utensils you could need. There is a full size refrigerator and the laundry is right off the kitchen. The decks are wonderful for sitting out on in the evening. The grandsons loved the hot tub. As in other reviews, the roads are twisty and steep, but manageable. The drive up is worth it when you get there. Bryson City has everything you could need for grocery stores, restaurants, bars, etc. The Great Smokey Mountain Railroad is definitely worth going on. If we return to the area, I would rent this house again.Yellow Rose is a very professional company. We had a power outage due to high winds and we called about moving to another unit and they set us up right away. We ended up staying as the power came back on later in the evening.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Yellow Rose never disappoints! This cabin's view was gorgeous. Had some minor issues and they were taken care immediately. The only complaint I have is no shower downstairs for that bedroom but we made it work! The view made up for anything the house didn't have! Not close to town so if you are looking for seclusion this is it!!

Couldn’t get to our cabin due to icy road.

Due to the road being icy we couldn’t drive up to our cabin and there was another car stuck on road leading to our cabin. Just keep in mind there is a chance you may not be able to stay at the cabin you have booked if you are traveling in winter.

Not worth the hassle

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 house I stayed in was nice had a great view and a hot tub. The furniture was a little outdated but fine for the stay. I would never stay with this company again due to the issues I had and still have. There was a water issue in the original house so I had to switch to the house next door for 1 less night and was refunded but not in full for the nights stay. Have tried to reach out multiple times and no one will get back to me. On the first day at 530 already past check in someone comes to clean the hot tub and had to drain it so I had to go up to the old house to use the hot tub that night. Then on the day I was to check out at 930 when check out is at 10 the guy shows up again to clean the hot tub. I didn’t mind so much but being a single female getting a knock at the door of a rental when you’re not expecting anyone is crazy. There were 2 fireplaces inside. Neither worked. When I contacted the office about I got no response so I could not use them my entire stay. The house had a nice view but based on the communication or lack there of and not getting a full nights refund I would never stay with this company again and would not recommend it to anyone.

Our Dream Family Vacation!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: Lookout Lodge was the perfect spot for our annual family vacation, by far the best accommodations since we’ve been getting together starting in 2014. The place was spacious and comfortable for ages ranging to 17 months to 80 years. The Smokey Mountains were absolutely spectacular from our decks. Billy from Yellow Rose called to check in. I appreciate the customer service . We enjoyed hiking in the National Park, stroller walks nearby, a train ride, exploring Bryson City. MOST OF ALL, WE ENJOYED THE PRICELESS GIFT OF TIME TOGETHER.

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.

Beautiful property

I must admit, after reading some of the reviews I was a bit concerned about this property. However, we had no issues at all. The home is well maintained and stocked. The water was clean and we never ran out of hot water with our group of 7. The only minor issue we noticed was that although the home listing says No Pets, someone obviously brought a dog. There was dog hair in some of the rugs and a strong wet dog odor in the game room. We simply opened the windows to air it out but this may be an issue for someone with dog allergies. Otherwise it was a great stay!

We had a wonderful stay here. The view of the mountains was breathtaking and that alone would make me stay here again. The house was beautiful and i loved the kitchen. The only down side to the kitchen was the cooking utensils we're not the best. Miss matched pots and pans that were falling apart and half them i had to wash before using becuase they seemed dirty. They rest of the house was clean and the beds were comfortable. I would stay here again
