Black Bear Crossing has it all; close proximity to all the local attractions, paved road and driveway.

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 used 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.

    a guest from Riverdale, GA recommends this vacation rental

    Everything was clean and the view is GORGEOUS. We all know you must drive up a steep hill to get to these views and I must say this is by far my favorite driveway... it’s wide enough to not feel like you’re falling off the cliff lol my first time driving up was stressful (anxiety) but after that it was like MY driveway and was a lot easier to drive. I saw a lot of houses with negative reviews about the driveways this isn’t one. Very Steep at one point but very manageable. (Just keep riding lol) clean home. Only negative review I have is the doors id highly recommend they change the locks on all of the doors. It’s very difficult getting them to lock. Overall great stay and extremely close to the GSR being we came for the polar express experience. Thanks for a comfortable home away from home !

    The cabin was very nice and the view was beautiful! The driveway is a bit steep but fine to drive on. It's nice that the cabin is at the very top of the road for peace and quiet.

    Mark K from Woodbine, MD recommends this vacation rental

    We liked the cabins location and floor plan.

    However some attention to detail is needed.

    There was one wine glass
    Several lightbulbs out
    Grill propane tank ran out with no backup. Not good when you’re half way through cooking dinner.
    The instructions for trash not an outside trash receptacle that isn’t there.

    This rental has the best view I have seen! It is amazing. The Dish for TV was not working and apparently been out for some time. This should have been repaired. But that aside it was a total knock-out of the ball park. We want to come back next year!

    Stephanie S from Shelby, OH recommends this vacation rental

    Overall great place to stay! We had a couple minor issues. The satellite placement wasn’t good, so we had no TV in the evenings the whole stay. Some of the door knobs need tightened up, because they kept falling off. There must be a short in one of the light switches in the downstairs bedroom closest to the bathroom, because the breaker kept tripping. Other than that it was a great place to stay! Nice a quiet and secluded!

    Joel M from Miami, FL does not recommend this vacation rental.

    The cabin is in a great location, although the driveway is very steep. Once up there you find a beautiful view. Our experience was good overall but a few issues kept it from being excellent. For example, there are too many pieces of furniture, excessive for a rental cabin. There were fake plants full of dust. Christmas ornaments still in display in March/April. Kitchen cabinets and drawers were dirty on the inside. Main floor shower had moldy smell and everyone had to use the lower floor shower and the kitchen pots and pans are in very bad shape. In our opinion if these things are corrected it would increase the overall experience.

    The house was nice, great view. We had issues multiple nights with the heat and oven. We callee the emergency line, the heat issue was resolved the next day but nothing really could be done about the oven. We made due, and we were given a small and poor refund in my opinion in regards to the difficulty we experienced. I would not stay again.

    The cabin was very nice and well suitable. The bedrooms was very nice and decorative. The kitchen was a kitchen that any woman would love to have. It had all the things that belong in a kitchen. The view in the morning time was heavenly. It looks as though smoke was coming out of the ground in the mountains. The hottub, the porch, it was very nice. Would love to come back again.

    It was really close to town, but felt like we were in the country. Great view, spacious. We did notice a funny smell the day we get there but it got better after a day. There were also a few dead bugs that could’ve been swept up better before we arrived.

    We came to Bryson City with our children and grandson to ride the Polar express train! You cannot beat the view at #100 Black Bear 🐻! The cabin is furnished very nicely and it is nice if you need privacy as there are two bedrooms and bath downstairs and one bath/bed upstairs.. overall a great experience but would suggest locks on the upstairs bathroom and better mattresses for all beds! And coming from the low country., would have liked more information about the steepness of the drive to the cabin

    a guest from Englewood, CO recommends this vacation rental

    Overall the house was beautiful. The view out the back deck was absolutely breathtaking. It was dark when we arrived and the lock box was extremely hard to get into. There were no lights on in the front of the house and nothing to indicate we were at the correct house. Inside, there were several lights in one bedroom that did not work. We arrived on a Saturday and reported the problem on Monday. They were not fixed by time we left on Wednesday - we had informed the rental service that we could continue to do without them. No one got back to us to let us know when they would be fixed. There is nothing in the house. No shampoo, no hairdryer, no Kleenex, just two tiny bars of soap in each bathroom.

    Kristen R from Arab, AL recommends this vacation rental

    The place was spotlessly clean; beds were comfortable; location was very close to town.
    Just a couple minor complaints; $350 worth of extra fees made a reasonable stay, really not reasonable at all; added fees seemed a bit steep. Saying the average is $140-$160 a night is false. Also, all the doors are very difficult to get in and out of.
    Also, it’s a pretty noisy location. There is a
    School close by under construction, quite a bit of traffic and dogs barking, & Saturday morning during youth football season was loud. Other than that, the accommodations were very nice.

    a guest from Greensboro, NC recommends this vacation rental

    The house is beautiful, the views spectacular. Everything was in tip top shape when we arrived. The directions were easy to follow, however, the driveway is incredibly steep and caught us off guard. My 4 cyl. sedan was put to the test for sure. The bed was very comfy, and all of the furniture was nice and cozy. Not all of the jets were working in the hot tub but it was still nice to watch the sunset from it. Not all of the doors locked on the deck which was mentioned in another review but hasn't been fixed. The air conditioning upstairs started pumping heat on the second day, but it was cool enough at night that open windows sufficed. Cell reception was fine, but the wifi was slow. Overall very nice place with some minors fixes needed. We had a great time.

    The rental was nice for the most part. The views were gorgeous. A few things could have been better. The door was missing on the bathroom and the oven did not work properly. With there been 8 guys on this trip for a golf trip, those two things became an issue. Other than that we enjoyed our stay.
