About this property

Deep Creek Cottage-Creek side- close to the Polar Express

  • This adorable two bedroom one bath cabin is located five minutes from the Great Smoky National Park "Deep Creek"! This cabin is located just minutes from downtown Bryson City and just a short fifteen minute drive from Cherokee. Oh did I mention this cabin is creek front? This is a NC stocked trout stream. Spend your days fishing Deep Creek or playing in Deep Creek that is just feet from the back back porch. Spend your nights on the creek bank with a cozy fire and roasting marshmallows. This cabin is just waiting for you to make your mountain memories!

Stop 15 on our post-retirement trip

This little cabin was very clean and communication with the host was very good. This cabin is not fancy, but was very comfortable for the two of us. Listing doesn't make it clear, but there is no central heat or a/c. We were there during an unexpected freezing cold snap and arrived in the evening to a cold cabin. The portable electric radiators did warm it up well, esp after they quickly provided another one when we asked. We really enjoyed Bryson City and my husband loved fishing the creek right behind the cabin and the river in town too! We would stay here again, hopefully when it’s a little warmer so we can enjoy the back porch overlooking the creek!

Our review for Deep Creek Cottage.

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The cabin was clean and had everything that we needed but the outside of the cabin was not cleaned. The TV did not work so I called Yellow Rose and was told they would send someone out but no one ever showed up. I felt that Yellow Rose was not interested in their renters. I will not recommend this cabin to anyone. The bathroom was small and out dated.
