great place

The cabin is amazing and had so many extras to it. We had three families stay and there was plenty of space. We enjoyed the pool table and darts. The only negative is the steep driveway, we knew it was talked about but driving it was a different story. It was a 5/5 place to stay for sure.

Great cabin, love the extra tiny house for 5th bedroom

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than 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 highly recommend staying here, and would again. This place was perfect for our weekend family getaway, plenty of space, comfortable beds, close to Cherokee. We loved the 5th bedroom/tiny cabin steps away from main house, also the large rocking chair front porch, and large deck out back. Kitchen was nicely stocked and had what we needed for the meals we prepared. The place was fairly clean. Hot tub was clean, and there were plenty of towels and blankets. The tap water had a sulfur smell at first but then we didn't notice it later on. There is a decent amount of parking space, although it can be tricky to get backed up and turned around, we had 3 vehicles and it wasn't an issue. The driveway coming in is one lane, but not too narrow, and it is only really steep in one place, the last little bit close to the house. The written directions were Ok, just keep going past the other houses and keep veering left it will take you right to the cabin. The property manager provided good service and was attentive. We were there in May, the leaves are pretty and full, there is not a long distance mountainous view, but does feel secluded. There is one cabin that is close by next door but is mostly blocked by trees and foliage. All in all a great experience and reasonably priced.

Big house

The property was nice and the lay out of the house was great. The town didn’t have much to do but was close to other towns we visited. The driveway is intimidating at first but then you over come it it’s fine.

Nice House But Things To Consider

Overall, the house is nice. However, there are a few things to consider before you book. The driveway is long and crazy steep with some serious washouts. We made it up in a 2 wheel drive sedan but I was wishing I had 4 wheel drive and more ground clearance. We were spinning tires and would bottom out in a place or two. Also, there are some tall, steep stairs inside the house to consider if you are bringing toddlers. Otherwise, it was a nice place and we did enjoy our stay.

Very pleased with the cabin. Was perfect gathering spot for our family to celebrate our parents 50th anniversary. There was plenty of space, a nice (decently stocked) kitchen to prep meals and gathering areas where we could chat. Wonderful since the goal of this trip was to spend time together. The driveway up was no joke! It was steep and had some potholes near the edge making it feel very narrow. Thinking we were in the wrong place, we backed down (which was a bit nerve-racking). Just keep going. It looks as if you're entering the neighbors driveway but the cabin is past their house. The only negative of the stay was the fact that the beds were VERY noisy. Comfortable enough, just loud. You barely move and the mat below the sheet would crinkle.

Property needs TLC bad!

First off it was filthy, the floors, the tub/shower. Back porch is almost completely rotten-don’t walk out there. Driveway is a butchered mess. Basement full of bugs. On top of that.. air stopped working and thankfully they brought ac units but the upstairs didn’t have a unit so my family and kids had to sleep in the smaller beds where the air was. Just straight up not worth the money they are charging. Worst cabin I’ve stayed in.

Could Use a Little Updating

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very 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 rental has the potential to be wonderful. However, it needs updating in several areas. The water at the rental is for all intent and purposes unusable. The sulfer and iron concentrate in the water is overwhelming. Taking a shower feels like you are in a sulfer tank and you never get a cleaning feeling. We refused to drink the water and went to Ingles and purchased gallons of water for our use. This issue has been reported numerous times by guests and always is ignored. The available pots and pans are in need of replacement.While the rental did go through a cleaning, the rental needs a thorough cleaning from top to bottom. Dust and dirt are all over the beams of the house and the little cabin we found to have dead black ants and spider webs.We found and a for sale sign and after some research found the owners have attempted to sale the location for a long time. It seems the owners have more interest in selling than providing a great place for renters.

You Can Do Better

We're nice people who rarely complain about anything. Due to previous complaints about the cleanliness and maintenance of this property, I even contacted Yellow Rose several WEEKS before our scheduled arrival date. They assured me that ALL issues were resolved and addressed. Here's a list of what we found.... 1) Plates and utensils in kitchen cabinets had dried food on them 2) roach crawling across kitchen counter 3) mildew and mold around shower in downstairs bathroom 4) maintenance closet downstairs had a bag of garbage and pair of dirty socks thrown in it 5) bed downstairs had sheets on it that appeared to have not been washed from previous guests 6) when hot tub was activated, a layer of "scum" quickly rose to the surface. It obviously had not been cleaned..... The 2nd time it was turned on, one of the jets actually blew out into the hot tub 7) railing on the back deck is loose and a safety hazard 8) no lights on outside entrance steps making it dangerous in the dark 9) the air conditioner stopped working with temps in the high 80s. Management was contacted and did send out their maintenance person. He tried to temporarily fix the thermostat but nothing worked. I called and they sent an actual repairman the next day.... He indicated this had been an "ongoing issue" at this property so he fixed it permanently. We couldn't run all the ceiling fans bcuz they wobble so badly. I reported most of these issues the day we left. Someone does not care about this property.

May be from a water heater about to go out or may just be the nature of the supply. Other than that, a "A+"!
