Weekend getaway

This was my first time staying with yellow rose I’m not sure who’s responsibility it is but here is what I have concerns with When we got to the cabin, there was trash on the outside table and a bag of cloth tablecloths on the couch. I’m not sure if someone who stayed left it or if the housekeeper left it. There was these big black ants inside the house The house wasn’t very clean at all. It really need to be dusted, the floors didn’t look like they had been mopped, the bathtub could’ve stood to be cleaned more better the mirrors were awful I think the porch should’ve been swept and checked for cobwebs and spiders The beds were very uncomfortable Also, while we were out on our last evening I got a phone call from Billy with yellow Rose asking how was our visit and what time we would be leaving the next day. I told him our check out was at 10 am. He said well I just wanted to ask so that I can let our housekeepers know when to come clean. I just thought that was not very good etiquette and rude. We also saw cockroaches which put the icing on the cake and we had to leave way earlier 10 AM We don’t do cockroaches they’re very disgusting and carry diseases!!! we left by 6 AM and we were not planning on leaving till about 930 We did enjoy having some of the amenities like the hot tub. It was very clean and very nice. I enjoyed having a coffee maker. Overall, it was a nice stay but I do believe things could’ve been much better.

We enjoyed staying here the hot was nice.. we thought the jets were weak at first but then figured out how to turn them up. The view was beautiful and our dog liked roaming around the porch. And this place was located in a good area to explore hikes, cherokee village isn't far.

Overall good stay. Tight driveway. If more than one vehicle you will need to back out or back all the way in. One vehicle can make a three point turn to drive out forward. Gas grille worked great. Hot tub jets are week. Wood stove needs flue cleaned but functions well enough. Nice view, especially at sunrise. Several maintenace items needed. Yellow Rose says that have informed the owners but no action yet. Internet worked fine.

Beautiful view and special place

The view at this property is amazing, we got engaged at the bench overlooking the lake, it will always hold a special place in my heart. We trailered our motorcycles and this house was perfectly located for us to reach, easily all of our daily excursions. The house was clean and organized with the hot tub being very welcoming at the end of a days ride. Would definitely come back!!!!

The pictures for this place does not do this place justice. It is in a great spot in the mountains with the most beautiful view. Hot tub was a great selling point. The house was clean with all the amenities that were needed for a long stay. Would definitely recommend this place.

Very nice

This house was more secluded and spacious than expected! The view is amazing and the hot tub was very nice too. There were bug (wasp?) nests and huge spiderwebs on the deck which was a bit of a scary first impression, but once inside the house it was very nice. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we could need. We felt safe here and the location was beautiful. Overall we would happily return!

This place had everything we wanted; seclusion,charm,amenities we needed, and a view. Wow! What a view! Our dog, Baxter, even went to the bench at the cliff every day and just laid there looking out. The host company, Yellow Rose Reality, were so nice. Wish everyone talked to each other like that. Thank you for one of the best trips to the mountains my wife and I have had in a while!

Great view from this cabin, up a secluded road which is appreciated. Hot tub was nice and it was cool to sit out there at night and see all the stars. The cabin itself needs a little TLC. But overall a nice place to stay. And great price!

Amazing view!

We had no trouble finding the place, the gps brought us right to the front door. The first thing I said when we got there was, “I really screwed up when I booked this place! We should have got it for more than two nights!” My girlfriend agreed 100%. The view from the property is awesome! In the morning the sunrise coming up over the mountains certainly did not disappoint. We will be booking this place again, but for longer than two nights. The only complaint we had was the bed wasn’t the most comfortable, but it wasn’t terrible.

Bungalow in the Mountains

We stayed at this little paradise for five nights while paddling local whitewater rivers and biking the Tsali trails, which was <5 min away. The hottub was a great addition and the view from the peninsula shaped yard was spot on! The master bed was comfy and the new sofa set was great. Comes with a fully stocked kitchen in addition to laundry/dishwasher and needed soaps. We will return!
