Love this place, beautiful view, love the hot tub, lots of room and great location. Just a little traffic noise from the highway below, but I knew that before I booked and it didn’t bother me a bit.
This is our second time staying @ this property, and we love it here. Very clean, great view of the mountains, and out of the way, yet close enough to everywhere we wanted to be! We'll definitely be back!
Absolutely loved our stay. The view is breathtaking my children and I were out there every morning just to watch the sunrise. Would recommend and definitely will go again.
Quite and for the most part secluded.... We didn't leave the entire time. We felt at home and really enjoyed the hot tub. Only drawback is the traffic noise but it didn't really bother us.
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.
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!!!!
Excellent stay! It had all the amenities that I was looking for. Cute and cozy. There wasn't anything misleading in the advertisement. Check in was easy. Beautiful, quaint and quiet. Perfect for what I wanted for a long weekend! . I can't wait till my next trip!!

Nice little house
Nice clean house with everything we needed except for the grill being out of gas. It was nice being gated as I have a motorcycle but the gate wouldn’t open for the bike so that made for an interesting exit. Definitely would stay here again!
The place was very cozy and clean. The new furniture was soft and nice. Very peaceful location. The hottub was nice and warm. The road was a little steep and not much room to turn around. It has a good size yard with a pretty mountain view. Anytime I had a question or concern the communication with the owners was really good. We would return.

Reviewer Comments:
Easy location to get to. My Honda sports coupe had no trouble getting to this cottage in warm weather; I put it in "sports mode" to help it ascend carefully around 5 mph. It is a paved, well maintained neighborhood road, the driveway to it is short w/ small gravel in good condition. The gate key code box is at the small tree w/tendrilled branches. The black pavement beyond the gate is well maintained & steep. You WILL NOT want to go beyond the black pavement because you will have missed your turn into the cottage's driveway & it immediately becomes loose, very steep gravel up to a privately owned home(think 4-wheel drive). The cottage itself is spacious open floor plan, clean, & not overly decorated. I suggest bringing extra blanket if you get chilly as the spare blankets are electric heating blankets w/wires running through them (not my personal preference). The traffic beyond the end of the yard can be heard because highway is below. Covered deck/porch on 3 sides of cottage. Porch swing. Plentiful outdoor/indoor seating & lighting. Fire pit has meshed steel, dome lid (removable). Full size hot tub & appliances. Plenty of hot water. Good cooling/heating air system. Very comfortable. Multiple ceiling fans & light switches w/labels. Yellow Rose Realty gave quick & professional communication when power & internet went out because of bad weather. Bring flashlight just in case & coffee mug(s). ALL light bulbs worked. Broom, dust pan, 1 large, flat screen TV. Lake Fontana has free public access <1 mile from this rental for swimming, paddle boarding, etc. I would book another stay here in the future. BEAUTIFUL area! Kind people!

Reviewer Comments:
Working with the YellownRose realty group was delightful and east. The actual cabin was very tired and in need of a total update.
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! We'll be back!!!
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.

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.

Very poorly maintained property. I had to clean porch furniture before we could sit on it. Window broken. Couch torn badly and cushions or springs in bad shape. Found a cover in one of the closets for it. Pans and baking sheets yucky. Toaster oven broken and so on....

Reviewer Comments:
The cabin has plumbing problems, poor beds and a bug infestation. We complained to Yellow Rose Realty about the issues and did not even receive the courtesy of a call back.We contacted Yellow Rose Realty a second time and were told that the problems could not be resolved by their staff and would be corrected after our stay was over. We requested to speak with a member of management at Yellow Rose and have never heard back from anyone.We cut our vacation short, leaving the cabin early because of the conditions and the lack of effort by Yellow Rose to address the problems.We have stayed in cabins managed by Yellow Rose before, but will never do so again.

Reviewer Comments:
The inside was a little misleading based on the pictures shown. The kitchen had a couple of pieces Of tile missing off the front of the counter top So it would snag ur shirt if you weren’t careful and one piece by the stove. The lighting in the dining room and family room were somewhat hard to figure out as there’s so many to choose from and 5 builds weren't working. Lamp in one bedroom didn’t work. Dust bunnies and hairs behind bathroom doors. The sofa was very old with torn cushions and very squeaky. Road noice in back yard that was surprising to hear. The house is located in a nice and quiet gated community up a hill sitting behind another home that was being painted while we were there.

Reviewer Comments:
The house is ok. The second bedroom bedframe was broken and we had to realign the bed slats everynight for my elderly mother to sleep in. Master bathroom toilet seat was cracked. Extremely frustrating! We sent an email and never heard back about it. The house needs a deep clean done. The silverware drawer was dirty. The outside deck on one side of the house hadn't been cleaned off in a long time. The view from the house is beautiful, but nothing mentions that there is a main highway that goes around this property. When outside, you REALLY hear tons of road noise. The house is private and dog friendly so that was a plus.
