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.

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: The location was not as it was described. The “stream” was down a steep hill and didn’t even cover your toes. The living room ceiling fan was broken. The washing machine was broken. The bathroom hand soap was empty. There were 2 empty gas tanks left for us. Not even enough to cook on the grill and have a fire (fire pit is gas). ##### Caitlin P.

The staff is very quick to respond to emails and help you in any way that they can. I would definitely rent from Yellow Rose the next time we come up this way. We loved that the cabin was well off the beaten path. It was just like it was listed. Next time we might stay more town central just to do something different. The 24 minute windy drive is nice and pretty though and we were able to see wildlife daily. ##### Holly S.

Would have liked a better internet connection, VERY slow and will cut out with weather. Overall, great place but is a good 20+ minutes away from most anything but for me, that is what I was looking for. ##### A guest from Camp Hill, PA This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### A guest from Micro, NC 15 Nov 2023 #### Nice and calm Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful.

The fire pit was not in a good/safe location as it was difficult to get to and when we did the tank was empty of gas and we could not have a fire down there. The ceiling fan in the living room did not work or we could not figure out how to work it. The twin beds were so low that we had difficulty getting in and out of them so they may not be good for older guests, maybe children. the driveway was a challenge but we were able to get up it, if you drive a car it might prove to be difficult or impossible. ##### Jane T.

The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We booked this cabin specifically for the Wi-Fi for my kids. Wi-Fi was extremely slow to nonexistent. TV in the living room is a smart tv and because the Wi-Fi didn't work the tv wouldn't load. TV in the queen room didn't work at all and the tv upstairs was basically only for DVDs. Stove only one eye worked. Tried to cook on the others and both on the left side went up in flames because they were full of grease. Had not been cleaned. Both bathrooms shower heads need to be replaced. Cabin is not really for younger kids, mine were 6/7/9 and were bored, again to lack of Wi-Fi. Had to buy games. Some games there were missing pieces or just to old for the kids to learn to play. Overall we enjoyed but what I stated above needs to be addressed. ##### Erica G. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### A guest from Oxford, Ohio 9 Aug 2022 #### Very Clean and Comfortable Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was immaculate and the beds were very comfortable. There are 2 bdrms downstairs and a loft with a king size bed and separate bath upstairs. The road the house is on is insanely curvy and would be fun for a motorcycle. The surrounding towns of Bryson City, Cherokee, and Franklin had good food and shops. Gatlinburg was 1h 15min away and an easy drive. We really enjoyed the NC side of the Smokies. The washer and dryer were out of order, which made us do some sink-washing of clothes. The office didn't respond when we called them and asked for help with the washer. The house was well-supplied, but they gave us 2 trash bags and 2 pods for the dishwasher. Not really enough for a week stay with 4 people, but that was less inconvenient than the broken washer and dryer. ##### A guest from Oxford, Ohio This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Jason H. 2 Aug 2022 #### Great secluded cabin for a small family! Rating Details: The property manager was adequately 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: We loved the location and amenities, but only wished we'd been told beforehand that the washer/dryer weren't working and both propane tanks were empty. That meant no outdoor grilling or fire pit, which were two big reasons why we rented this cabin in the first place. An email to management unfortunately produced no reply. ##### Jason H. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Glynn B. 29 Jun 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lazy Bear Retreat Great location, quiet, comfortable everything I look for when stating in the area. ##### Glynn B.

The vacation rental was spotless. I was somewhat unhappy 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 property description was not accurate regarding the amenities. The agreement stated there would be high speed internet and satellite TV the cabin does not offer either. According to the agreement there is a disclosure for a hot tub, no hot tub seen therefore a call was made to the real estate office where they were provided the location and conformation number and the lady advised YES the location did have a hot tub. The Lazy Bear does not have a hot tub, on day one the firepit was out of gas (after hours) day two once again called the real estate company to advise this information, was informed it would be replaced that day, the tank was never replaced during the stay. An excessive amount of things did not work in the cabin and or was broke per the lady answering at the office they did not need to know this information. The power went out on day 1 there is no information on a power company to call only an emergency number for the real estate company. This was all around a bad experience with customer service and expected amenities. ##### NICOLE M.

Reviewer Comments: First night there had to call about no wifi or TV but the next night it was spotty but for days for no cell service. The Netflix wouldn’t change to anything. The upstairs toilet seat was loose so we had to use the down stairs. Not much water pressure and the hot water ran out. The pictures on the website showed a good view but we had absolutely none. It was very clean at least. ##### Linda V.

We would definitely go back The only that is could see being upgraded would be the internet and dish . We had a few problems with that . Overall we enjoyed ourselves. ##### Anne W.

My kids loved the cabin. It was clean and well equipped. The cabin is tucked away in the trees. Cozy and quiet retreat. It is bit of a drive up the mountain from any town, but if you looking for a nice getaway, this is it. ##### Valeria P.
