A Few Reviews
***** THERE ARE MORE THAN 30 5 STAR REVIEWS*****
************** "Strongly Recommend!!! " ****************
We've rented a lot of homes over the years, in a lot of different States, and a lot of different Countries too.
Linda was by far the most gracious host we've ever encountered.
We took our 14 year old son, along with some of his friends, and their parents to Bryson City for some trout fishing, hiking, sight seeing, train riding, and white water rafting.
Linda's property was easy to find; very clean, teen friendly, multi-family accommodating, and located in a scenic setting. She went out of her way to make sure our visit went well. She even pointed out where the local's "honey hole" fishing locations were located.
If you're ever planning a vacation in the smoky mountains, we strongly recommend renting Linda's property!!!
Stayed: July 2015
*********** "Quiet, secluded, lovely place" ***************:
The Eco cabin & lower floor of house were very spacious & the owner gave us free rein of the place. The main road in & out is a motorcyclists' dream with 101 turns in about 4 miles. We had a great stay in the Smokies!
Stayed: August 2015
******** "Eco Paradise" ****************:
"What a pleasure to finally have a vacation rental that far exceeded our expectations. I have a family of five plus my parents joined us to vacation in the smokey mountains. The accommodations were excellent. The apartment was clean, private and had all the experience of a eco resort. Linda was amazing and made us feel very welcomed. It was like staying in our own home. We stayed during 4th of July weekend and the rates were very fair. I would have expected to pay much more for what we experienced. We will be back and if your smart and want to get away for a relaxing vacation you would take your family."
****** "Ideal for couples or groups" *************:
This is a beautiful place to come and relax with nature all around. It is conveniently located on paved roads, but with hiking right from the property. The large rooms were very clean and well-maintained. The kitchens were fully stocked just like at home. We came to relax and didn't try out all the many area attractions, but we hear they are plentiful and easy to get to. The owner will meet you and is very accommodating. This is a great spot to bring a group with several different sleeping areas and kitchens available. There are also outdoor seating areas."
Recommended for:Age 55+, pet owners, adventure seekers, girls getaway, sightseeing, families with teenagers, families with young children, people with disabilities, romantic getaways
******* "Renewing Body and Soul in the Woods":********************
"As you travel a lovely winding paved road along side a running creek, via auto or motorcycle, you will be inspired by the views and the tranquility of the area. You will pass farm animals along the way and as you near the property and glance to the right you may be greeted by handsome horses and if you are lucky may catch deer grazing in the meadow. Pulling into Rose Manor I was warmly greeted by Owner, Linda and immediately felt my body relax and unwind as I took in the essence of Rose Manor. Every window displayed colorful views of the surrounding woods.
Carefully cleaned rooms,sweet smelling sheets, warm blankets and all the little amenities and attention to details, would make any guest feel contented and cared for. The area provides so many things to do and also the peaceful space to do nothing. I have returned here several times and will always make it one of my favorite destinations. Don't miss this memorable stay."
******** "I Don't Think We're in Kansas Any More Toto!" ****************
"My good friend and I take a long motorcyle ride each year from Kansas and this year we brought his younger son with us to North Carolina. We stayed three nights in the cabin at Rose Manor and it is a spectacular property and location.
The photos on this site give one a good feel for the place, but in person, it is so much more impressive. The lower level creek, garden, and fire pit sitting area are great for quiet get-aways or group conversation alike. Likewise, the upper level decks and sitting areas are an open invitation to admire the surrounding beauty and enjoy good company.
Being motorcyclists, location was very important and Rose Manor places the rider amidst one of the richest treasure troves of riding opportunities available anywhere in the US. Within a fifty mile radius of Rose Manor, we found some of the most challenging and/or scenic rides we have ever ridden. The best-known rides include Dragon's Tail, Cherhola Skyway, and Blue Ridge Parkway...but there are countless lesser known, even unnamed rides, that are more than memorable. Our favorite one was a shorter run on Hwy 28 from Franklin south to Highlands...great curves, pavement surface and pitching, plus a beautiful photo-op at Bridal Veil Falls.
Just prior to our trip, my friend, our wives and I saw James Taylor in concert (Wichita) and "Carolina on My Mind" rings especially true now that we've sampled The Great Smoky Mountains and surrounding areas of southeastern NC. Our stay at Rose Manor couldn't have been better and we'll be looking for the opportunity to return again to enjoy more of the Carolinas and the special nuances of Linda's place and southern hospitality" June 2014
********* "HD Bikers Getaway":****************
Eight men (7 bikes & 1 truck) headed to the NC/TN mountains for a 4-day getaway in search of great riding. We needed lodging for up to 10 and was lucky to find Linda's rentals. Linda was great in providing insight to the Rose Manor and Eco Cabin accommodations during our phone conversations. Linda made the scheduling really easy and was there to welcome us when we arrived. Linda provided enough bedding options that every guy had their own bed with a couple to spare. There are 3-4 King/Full/Double beds and a few twins spread around in different places if you need more. The highlight of the location is the fire pit and grill setup down the stone stairs from the lodging. We cooked out there 2 of 3 nights and talked, joked, laughed, and lied to each other until after midnight each evening. Although the driveway is grass/gravel it was very solid and we all drove up and parked next to the house. Another highlight for bikers is Linda's place is just off Hwy 28 so you get at least 5 miles of twisty road riding every time you leave from and come to the lodging. We were able to ride through the Great Smokey Mountain National Park, ride the Tail of the Dragon (US 129), and visit the Wheels Through Time motorcycle museum in Maggy Valley, this is a must for any motorcycle enthusiast. Everywhere you go provided a wonderful view, great roads, and friendly people.
Stayed: June 2015 "
******* "In the Trees by the Creek":****************
"I arrived to the Smoky Mountains from San Francisco with the desire to get out of the 'big city' and into a more peaceful, natural environment. I immediately felt welcome at the Rose Manor and settled in to my own, private room, complete with a fireplace, bathroom, and kitchen. Everything was cleaner and nicer than I anticipated. From my bedroom window, I can look out toward the beautiful trees surrounding the property. With the windows open, I can hear the lovely birds singing and the relaxing sound of the creek down below. There is also a beautiful eco-friendly cabin where larger groups of travelers can stay. Hiking trails begin from the driveway and the Smoky Mountain National Park and Nantahala are a short drive away. There is an organic garden which generously provides me with delicious vegetables to cook with. I can highly recommend this property for anyone looking to get back to nature and enjoy the peace and beauty of the Smoky Mountains."

My husband and I stayed at Linda’s ‘Eco cabin’ for a quiet getaway and to explore the surrounding area. Linda was extremely knowledgeable about the best trails and the best things to do in town and on her recommendation we went horse riding at Nantahala and river boarding - both of which were wonderful. The house was cozy and comfortable and extremely clean! The kitchen had everything we could possibly need to cook our own meals, which we appreciated as we were on a budget. There were also plenty of books, games and movies for the one rainy day we had while there. The fire pit and garden area were a lovely bonus and we spent most nights out there, listening to the creek while we grilled out and watching the fire flies. We left feeling refreshed, relaxed and with a definite plan to return! We would highly recommend this place for a peaceful getaway where you are surrounded by nature - we even saw a deer outside in the garden one night! Thank you Linda, both for sharing your beautiful space and for your kindness during our stay - we hope to see you again soon!

Best Vacation Ever!
My stay at the Smoky Mountain Rose Manor was magical, with beautiful grounds and majestic trees all around! I had the most restful sleep with the fresh crisp mountain air and the sound of the nearby creek... Accommodations were clean and well appointed with everything I needed to enjoy my vacation.

Bryson City Paradise
We had a wonderful stay in Bryson City and the owner was awesome! She is very sweet, thoughtful, kind and helpful. She helped us with some sightseeing and made sure we had everything we needed. Her home and surroundings are absolutely beautiful! We stayed outside the whole time except when sleeping. The setting around the house is a really nice. We enjoyed sitting outside over looking a lower yard. There is a fire pit, a barbecue with a little chimney, a nice sitting area, a creek and blue berry bushes in the lower yard. There is so much to do and see in and around Bryson city...it is one of our favorite places on earth!

Beautiful retreat!
Linda’s home in the Smoky Mountains was a wonderful place for our family to stay and enjoy this part of North Carolina. It was peaceful, within gorgeous nature and just a short drive to Bryson City, Franklin, Highlands and other great towns! Perfect for sightseeing without having to trek far. Linda was a warm and hospitable host - she put a lot of thought into making sure we had all that we needed to have a comfortable and pleasant stay. She also had so much knowledge about the area, which helped us immensely. Her home was clean, well-maintained and possessed the charm and beauty of a mountain home. Incredible memories made during our stay. Highly recommend!

Comfort in the Smokies!
While I stayed at Eco Rose Manor, I thoroughly enjoyed the fireplace room, its complete bathroom, and fully equipped second kitchen. Being in the mountains constantly adds to this lovely lodging as I went to sleep listening to crickets and awoke to birds chirping. Linda's beautiful property and extensive collection of books and movies may tempt you to stay in, but there is so much to explore in every direction! Water activities in Nantahala, hiking in Deep Creek, music in Sylva, and so much more is near (Franklin, Dillsboro, Cherokee, Highlands). Asheville is 1.5 hours away and definitely worth a trip! What makes this rental even better is Linda's friendly personality, knowledge of the area, and commitment to keeping a clean, eco friendly property!

eco friendly cabin and peaceful rest
I wish I could have spent more time at this lovely property. The eco cabin was spacious, clean, and homey. I slept soundly and felt well rested and relaxed during my stay. What a perfect location - the drive through the Smoky Mountain National Park was incredible.

Thanks for visiting Rose Manor. I do love the sound of our creek also.
Watching wildlife, listening to nature & relaxing there reading are great pastimes.
Also fortunately Deep Creek, is in Bryson City, as it is a most favorite destination.

This rental was off the beaten path and the owner gave us full rein of the place. The main road to the cabin is a motorcyclist dream with 101 curves in less than 4 miles. We greatly enjoyed our stay in the Great Smoky Mountains!

Very nice property--Quirky Set Up
Let me start by saying the owner is incredibly nice, very responsive and clearly has a vision for her property which I respect. The setting is beautiful, with the creek, the garden, fire pit and woods. The eco cabin is very nicely designed and exciting for kids and I like the idea behind it. The other guest rooms in the main house have a very basement feel and the sink for the kitchen there is in the bathroom which is a little odd, and you have folks upstairs, which is a first for a vacation rental for us and we have been renting places for more than 10 years.
I would say staying in the cabin with a small group would be good, we had a larger group and felt a bit cramped. There was also construction going on while we were there, which the owner informed us of beforehand so fair enough. As mentioned, the main house upper levels are occupied so you are really not alone on the property which can be good or bad, but for us made us not be able to relax completey as we were looking for a total escape. So for small groups, who don't mind company it's a nice spot.
I respect the owner's vision and appreciate her hospitality so I will give the overall experience four stars but in the future we will go back to stand alone properties.

Hi, thanks for your helpful comments. Since you booked directly through Flipkey and did not talk with me on the phone you were not made aware that the Eco cabin is what I rent out to guests first and if more space is needed than the 3 bedrooms it provides then I offer the first level of main house. Four of the beds are less than 2 years old.The first level remains unrented when the Eco cabin is rented and the 2nd kitchen is just a bonus. Typically ONE person is in residence on the other side of the property during the summer to manage & keep it pristine. Unfortunately I had hired someone to clean as I was in Florida upon your arrival and I am sorry that the cleanliness was not 100%. The cable for direct TV was upgraded and improvement worked on for part of your stay and again I apologize for any inconvenience. You paid a large fee to Flipkey so I understand your concerns which no other guests have experienced and hopefully won't in the future. Thank You.
