The living room only had a couch and a chair which could not seat all 6 in our party. The chairs at the dining room table were worn out and uncomfortable. The master bed was not comfortable and creeked & groaned with each little movement. The hot tub was half full. Overall, not a good experience. And again, IT WAS NOT MOTORCYCLE FRIENDLY!!!

We rented Larky Lodge from Yellow Rose Realty from 6/29-7/6 of this year. First of all I want to…read morestart by saying the location was beautiful. Hence the one star. Also want to say that we have our own vacation rental in the Outer Banks and are very aware of some of the issues that come up while guests are in the house. Therefore we try to handle any where we rent with the same respect and care that we hope someone does to our place. Unfortunately this Cabin started out bad from the beginning. When we got there and opened up the place there was a distinct smell. So we thought-ok its been closed up for awhile lets get doors and windows open get air flow in. My husband does Commercial HVAC so he said-let me check the AC units. Everyone one of them was full of black mold. So bad in fact we headed back down the mountain and bought cleaning supplies. He spent the first four hours of vacation cleaning them out. Then there was the dried dog feces upstairs the mouse feces in the dishes the DVD player which doesn't work the VHS tapes everywhere with no VCR and finally the Directv which doesn't work either. Oh and one more thing-the shower upstairs leaks into the Master Bedroom downstairs and the downstairs bathroom is full of mold on the ceiling as well. That was two more things. Anyway I placed a call to Yellow Rose the next day and let them know the situation. Explained to them everything-black mold, leakage, turds, TV, turds, etc etc..They asked if we wanted a plumber and said they would send out a tech for the AC. She also said she was going to text or email me when someone was coming out. And stated she would talk to her manager about a credit. Never got a text never got an email-we had already done most of the cleanup so not sure if anyone ever came out as we weren't at the Cabin a good bit of the time. We were really disappointed how this was handled and hope they can remedy some of this-especially a Cabin which is really a health hazard! Pictures attached pre cleaning of mold-

We really enjoyed our stay in Bryson City . However, our stay in the Cozy Cabin by the creek from…read morethe Yellow Rose Reality and Cabin rentals was not up to par! When we first got there we realized that the floors were so dirty we had to wash our feet again before going to bed. Then the toilet would not flush and fill back up for a while and it leaked at the bottom so much we had to put a towel around it. Then we washed our clothes and it leaked around bottom of washer. The closet in bedroom was full of junk and no hangers so had to leave clothes in chest of drawers. There was an extra chiffrobe but it was locked. We called the office and they sent someone out to fix toilet but they didn't. The faucets in sink and tub had dripped until both looked so nasty from iron residue that before I would bathe in tub we bought cleaner and scrub pad and cleaned them both. Even after telling person at office all of this he didn't apologize nor offer any type of refund or discount. Needless to say, we won't use this company again! Such a shame it was a cute little cabin and being right beside the stream it would have been super if all these things had been checked out before we ever got there!

I cannot in good conscience recommend this company…read more Their cancellation policy is unreasonably rigid. I booked Time Flies over three months ago, unaware that some Airbnb properties operate under a "Super Strict" policy that offers zero flexibility -- even with a month's notice. Most responsible hosts provide at least partial refunds or a date change. Had I known otherwise, I would never have booked here. Four weeks before our trip, my elderly dog suffered a massive seizure and is unlikely to recover. She was coming with us, and under the circumstances, we simply cannot travel. I reached out immediately, explained the situation, and asked to cancel. The host has refused, offering their templated "compassion" -- choosing to keep the full $1,800 for a stay that won't happen and for which they'll provide no service. Seldom do I feel it necessary to leave a one-star review, but this experience fully warrants it. This is greed disguised as policy -- no compassion, no flexibility, no basic decency. Book elsewhere.

Stayed at Larky Lodge. Let's begin with the positives: good communication, new nice white towels,…read morebeautiful setting next to a roaring stream, great cabin floor plan and layout, fun items (jugs) and artwork. The negatives: this place was very dirty, we know it's a cabin in the woods and didn't expect pristine conditions, but it was dusty, tons of cobwebs, dirty kitchen utensils, we washed everything we used from the kitchen before usage, the sheets would not stay on the bed due to the plastic on the mattresses, evidence of mice infestation with droppings in the kitchen cabinets, do not even look under the beds...looks like years of cobwebs, laundry was left in the dryer, the upstairs shower looked old and nasty, one bedroom door would not close, the top shelf in the fridge is unstable with a middle support dangling, the oven doesn't look like it has ever been cleaned. My summary would be to inspect Larky Lodge before you move in. The place is in need of a major deep, deep clean. It has so much potential to be a place a family could come back to year after year.

The bed was comfy and bathroom good size. It was a very comfortable and cozy experience, with a fireplace inside and another on the back deck where you can sit out and enjoy the beautiful views. Everything was very clean. We loved sitting out & eating breakfast looking at the Smokies and at night sitting outside with the fireplace. The cabin is clearly well taken care of and next to it there is a hutch with chickens, a Guinea hen, and rabbits. Joe lives nearby and has alot of good recommendations. Protip: arrive before dark, the roads are windy and steep at times. The nearby town of Bryson City has everything you would likely need & is very cute.
