  This huge home is beautiful! The fully equipped kitchen is spacious and had everything we needed! We also took advantage of the fire pit outside and relaxed in the hot tub after a day of sighting and shopping in and around the beautiful area. I highly recommend this home and this company!!!

  180 willow pond was a very nice vacation spot for grandparents, children and grandchildren to meet from opposite parts of the country. Everything was as described in the listing. Great place within easy drive from all area sites but with privacy. We had contact 4 times with Yellow Rose staff and all were very prompt and helpful.

  The cabin was even more spacious and lovely than pictured! Having 3 very large bedrooms and 3 FULL bathrooms was such a blessing with our family - children, all adults, in need of more space. The downstairs den was very cozy and fun to watch movies together! It was the perfect location to Bryson City activities - church, restaurants, and shops! Great directions to find our cabin and no steep, scary incline to get there!

  Willow Pond was an excellent property for our Polar Express adventure. Clean and roomy, the cabin exceeded our expectations from the description online. It was clean, well maintained and easily accessible from town. The grandkids loved the game room. We would definitely stay there again and strongly recommend it to others looking to stay close to Bryson City center.

  a guest from Tequesta, FL recommends this vacation rental

  Traveling with three generations this cabin worked perfectly for us. Very large open spaces with adequate seating and bedding for 10, we had only 6 but larger families would work too. Nicely decorated. Could use more porch chairs we brought up the bonfire seating. Washing machine is super loud but we googled that is normal for model. Perfect location to all the activities we had planned.

  We arrived after 3 days of snow so the landscape was beautiful. Very beautiful wild nature. Very cozy house. Suggestions: expand the central air conditioning to the lower floor. Replace the two sofa beds in the games room as they are uncomfortable for sleeping.
