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 Realty 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!

Winter weekend

We came to Cherokee for a gymnastics meet. We have visited the city before but this was the first time we stayed. This location was very convenient to the coffee shop and restaurants and a short drive to the museum of the Cherokee people and Smokey mountains national park. Would definitely stay again!

Excellent “home-style” lodging in the center of Downtown Cherokee

This property was immaculately clean, comfortable, & quiet. Convenience to the downtown area was wonderful, yet we had privacy & quiet. Enjoyed our stay immensely, yet we may have enjoyed our last day a bit more if check out wasn’t quite so early. The store just below the property was a special treat!!

Great Location/Apartment/Kitchen Supplies!

Loved the property. Very roomy and we had everything in the kitchen we needed. Two Suggestions- The fitted sheet on the bed would not stay on. Came off constantly. May want better sheets. A couple more towels would be helpful for the longer stays. We stayed four nights. Would definitely stay there again if the opportunity arose.

Cherokee Loft, August 2023

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: Everything was as advertised and we enjoyed our stay. One weird issue - the folks next to us have a business and two cars belonging to that site are always parked over-night. Their business location is immediately to the right of the Loft as you face the Loft from the street. One night they left a hand written note on our car windshield indicating that our car would be towed because we are not allowed to park our vehicle overnight? We ignored this. Where else could we park overnight? And there is no official sign anywhere stating that overnight parking is not allowed. Perhaps the owner of the Loft rental might want to speak to those folks. We left the sign in the Loft when we left.
