The outdoor antique clawfoot tub is always available. You simply fill it up.
I will notify cleaner about dusting kitchen. That I don’t tolerate. I always ask guests to tell me upon checkin any issues, because I will fix them ASAP.
Thank you,
Tanya

Such a great place! Close to so many things! Great restaurants, hiking trails, and I was finally able to go to the Wander North Georgia outdoors store! The host was great and put a lot of care into little details around the house. I highly recommend!
Absolutely gorgeous property, conveniently located close to so much! Looks just like the listing photos, even better actually. Would definitely stay here again.

Location was good and stores were nearby. The cabin itself was beautiful and cozy. Really enjoyed the layout of it. The whole cabin was clean however the fridge reaked of fish and that smell made its way into everything we put in it. Also, would’ve liked to see a better equipped kitchen. Overall stay was solid aside from the smell.

I always ask in the welcome letter to check everything at check in and let me know if there’s any problems. As it turns out the guest before you had crab legs in the refrigerator obviously they didn’t cover them. So I had my Cleaning team come in with a steamer to clean the frig again. The fridge smells great now. I’m sorry that happened to you guys,. But had I known sooner I would’ve had it cleaned professionally to eliminate the fish odor for you.
I’d love to know what else I could put in the kitchen. I have a waffle iron, coffee, maker, blender, toaster, crockpot, and an oven that has a dehydrator and an air fryer. I have skillets, pots and pans of all sizes, baking dishes, cookie sheets, flatware, dishes, wine glasses. There’s even a lemon squeezer and a shrimp deveiner.
Thank you,
Tanya
The house is perfect, and so close to town. Our host was great, and communicated all expectations, rules, and procedures thoroughly. We will book again!

The Cozy Rose just might be my favorite VRBO we’ve ever stayed in. It was just what we needed and worked perfectly for our family. Very clean and absolutely adorable - just like the photos show. The grill outside and the kitchen had everything we needed to enjoy a home cooked meal one night. And the location was perfect for heading downtown for shops and restaurants. Really appreciated Tanya’s recommendations for places to explore nearby. We will definitely rent again. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!
My husband and I enjoyed a few days of rest! The Cozy Rose was just perfect for us! It was decorated very nice and very clean! We hiked and shopped everyday. We hope to go back soon!
We were very happy with everything about the house. Very pleasant and well equipped. Quiet area and very neat town.
