Great stay at Bear Trot!

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: We had a great stay at Bear Trot cabin. The layout was perfect for 2 families to each have separate areas and the dividing play area was the icing on the cake. The home was fully stocked with everything you need and the decorations made us feel right at home. Looking forward to our next stay!!

Wonderful house

We loved this house! Beds were so comfortable. The hot tub was great. There were tons of games and toys for the kids to play with. The area was close enough to town to be a short drive but far enough away enough to be secluded and private. We had to contact the rental property once about the electric fireplace but they responded so quickly and came and fixed it. He was so helpful and very courteous. There are lot of extra space heaters, tons of towels and lots of little extras that make the house even better! We will be back and cannot say enough great things about this house!

Home away from Home 🥰

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: We keep coming back to this beautiful area & after many cabins, we have finally found our home base. Yellow Rose is so wonderful to work with; everything on the booking end is so organized and well thought out, I couldn’t imagine using anyone else! The Bear Trot has been our favorite so far- it is so well appointed- the footprint may be small, but everything feels quite spacious and inviting. I can’t say enough good things about the owners of this cabin- they put so much thought and love into each and every detail and IT SHOWS. Each piece of furniture seems to be hand picked for comfort. This is the first cabin I’ve stayed in where the mattresses were actually comfortable & you can fall into the couches for relaxing after a busy day. The “trot” the middle porch was perfect for early morning coffee or late afternoon board games. And the separation of the house is perfect for big families, families with older kids, or multiple families coming together. The kitchen was extremely well stocked, all the spices and cookware you could ever need. Each closet we opened (and there were MANY) were full of little “extras” the owner left for us all to enjoy. Every board game you could imagine, stacks of books, toy boxes of toys for the littles. My MIL read an entire book series while we were there! (Left by the gracious hosts) The only drawback to this cabin is the lack of WiFi. No biggie if you’re looking to get away, BUT pair this with a lack of cell service & it does complicate things. Imagine trying to call in or order dinner online after a long day, trying to pull up/research where a trail begins & ends, or finalize those train tickets. I understand WiFi isn’t easy to come by in this area, so I get it- just something to note. The location couldn’t be better. You’re so close to town, yet feel far away from it all. Overall, it was truly a one of a kind experience & we will be back. Highly recommend th

Mediocre, NO WIFI, we had a student who need to do assignments and family in hospital, no phone serv

The property was cute and good size. Owner cheaped out and stopped wi-fi; caused serious issues for us! We expext a sustantial refund! Even mgmt wasn't aware of wi-fi being disconnected.The tv was on sattelite and went out every time it rained (every day) Management was good, homeowner shouldn't be so scrimpy as much as the property costs.

Rating Details: The property manager was very 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: The house was great. Very convenient location. Our grandkids enjoyed the hot tub. One bedroom unfortunately had either ants or termites crawling in from the ceiling, but the rental agency sent someone out to spray and that appeared to solve the problem. We recommend this house to others

The house was so clean, even the outdoor/screened spaces were well-cared for and spiderweb free, which is no small accomplishment! It feels secluded, but is very easy to find and so close to downtown.

Beautiful Cabin

We visit the Smoky Mountain National Park often and this was our first time staying on the North Carolina side of the park. Our family really enjoyed the cabin as it was close to Bryson City for groceries and food but still felt secluded. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed. We were a little uncertain of our kids sleeping on the other side of the porch/breezeway but it worked fine and they enjoyed it. We were also close to Cherokee where we did plenty of shopping too. It was close to many park hiking trails which we really enjoyed as well. We would definitely stay here again.

Christmas Time at 131-Bear Trot

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. 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: We stayed at 131-Bear Trot in Bryson City, NC in mid-December. The main purpose of our visit was to bring family and friends together and to ride on the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad Christmas Train. From the moment we arrived at the vacation home, it was a pure joy. The home was beautifully decorated with stuffed animals that the kids loved and “bear” decorations everywhere. The kids had fun finding all the bears...a lot of them! The owners were very nice in that they had the kitchen stocked with many spices to make our stay easier. The rental company was very responsive during the rental process and available to answer any questions during our stay. Overall, from all of the vacation homes we have ever rented, this ranks at the top.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Bear Trot Cabin, and it exceeded all my expectations! This charming abode is not only minutes away from downtown but also conveniently close to the Polar Express festivities. The location is perfect for those seeking a peaceful retreat without sacrificing proximity to key attractions. Upon arrival, I was immediately impressed by the cleanliness of the cabin. The owners clearly take pride in maintaining a spotless environment, creating a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere. The attention to detail in cleaning did not go unnoticed, and it truly enhanced the overall experience. Parking was a breeze, and the quiet area and private hot tub added to the serene ambiance. It was a relief to return to such a peaceful haven after a day of exploring the nearby attractions. The owners went above and beyond by calling on Saturday to ensure our stay was going smoothly and to inquire if we needed anything. The kitchen in Bear Trot Cabin deserves special mention. It was a joy to find a well-equipped kitchen, stocked with all the staples needed for a family meal. The convenience of having a grocery store just 5 minutes away made it super easy to enjoy a meal at the house. In summary, I highly recommend Bear Trot Cabin for anyone looking for a cozy, clean, and conveniently located retreat.
