Covered Porch - Pet-Friendly - Private-4WD-AWD

Great little cabin in the woods! Wished owners had emphasized the need for good tires and 4 wheel drive to get up the driveway. Our all wheel drive car made it, but only after a few tries and practice. Overall it was a good stay!

Cute cabin, secluded nice view from back deck & child friendly with pack n play and plates, bowls and sippy cups, children's books and movies. There was an odor to the cabin though, there is alot of water damage to the bathroom floor from the shower spraying out. The drive does need something with all wheel drive which is stated in the write up but longer trucks have to do do 3-4 point turns due to the 90 degree turn, to turn up the drive. It had all the items we needed for cooking except a grill which we brought out own.

The cabin was very clean.

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than 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: We booked Cardinals Landing as a last minute trip July 4th weekend. Yellow Rose confirmed that we were aware about the driveway, and honestly it wasn't as bad as I expected after reading reviews. As long as you are prepared, it wasn't that bad. I never had to use 4wd to reach the top. Once arriving, the place had a smell as if no one had been in there for awhile. It seemed like someone came in and cleaned weeks prior and no one had been there since. Within a few minutes of being there, my son attempted to go out the back door and found a snake laying under the stick that locks the sliding door. It was just a rat snake, so I quickly grabbed and removed him from inside. The back door is very hard to open. I pretty much was the only one who could open and close it. My wife would just walk around instead of trying. We opened the top drawer of the night stand beside the bed to find a mouse nest and droppings in the drawer. The nest was empty but every drawer had droppings. (Maybe the snake ate that one). I sent pictures to Yellow Rose and they responded that they were sorry, confirmed that we were staying and said they would get pest control out the following week. The only other critters we found were some flying insects that seemed to make their way into bathroom and die in bottom of shower. We made the most of our trip. It's close to Bryson City, it's nice and quiet up there, with a nice view off the back porch. The gutters on the house are slam full of debris and just the over all feel around the place is it needs a little TLC. We tent camp, stay in cabins, visit this general area 3-4 times a year. We were able to enjoy ourselves, but I have a feeling a lot of people would have not. I reached out to Yellow Rose via email when we returned about our experience and never heard anything back.

I thought it was very deceiving where it was at . I have a 2022 Chevy Silerado and my t4uck would bot even make it up to the place we rented . The driveway was so tight and hanging off side of mountain we could not even get up to the place and almost wreck3ed my new truck trying to get back down the steep incline driveway filled with gravels . Asked fo our money back because we couldnt even get up there to stay and owner wouldn't return our calls . We had to end renting a hotel because we cpuld not even get up to the place. I would not recommend this olace to anyone. Do not waste your money because they will not give you a fefund . Worse experience with a VRBO site so far !!!!

It was as described in the reviews. You definitely need 4 wheel or all-wheel drive to access the cabin and expect to do a little back and forth turning to get in and out of it. There are plug in heaters that work very well. Just know to look for them in the closet. We really only slept there and had coffee in the morning so didn't spend a lot of time in the cabin. There is no internet and service is spotty so don't expect to watch tv. I believe they had a DVD player so bring a movie if you want. This rental is a good value and is very close to Deep Creek Winery!!! :) Bryson City is about a 15 minute drive, so not bad.

A quaint cabin in a beautiful setting. Pefect for two wekenders. The cabin was close to town and offered just what we wanted. We would surely try it again.

The cabin was perfect and the Mt. view breathtaking! My cat loved the sofa bed so much I had to open it to get her to go home.

I loved this place, the view, the location all great. It was perfect for my family of three. My 5 year old had the time of his life running all over the place and because of its location I wasn't concerned about cars, etc. We just enjoyed exploring.

We enjoyed our stay. We went for our 15th anniversary and the cabin was perfect for just the two of us. It was very clean and just as described. It was a great location very close to Bryson city and just a short drive to Cherokee and Maggie Valley. It was secluded and very private. You do need a 4 wheel or all wheel drive to get up the driveway. My only suggestion would be to add a washer and dryer but its not a deal breaker.

Driveway up to it you definitely need a 4wheel drive.

Everything was perfect and the house is loaded with kitchen ware and extra dishes and soaps. Just show up with some food to cook and enjoy the mountains!
