Overall great location. Cleanliness of the cooking utensils and maintenance of the property needs attention. Numerous items didn’t work or were in need of repair.
This cabin was perfect for our family. The host was attentive and caring throughout the stay. Staying riverfront in the Georgia mountains is an unforgettable experience. We enjoyed the hot tub, rocking chairs, and s’mores by the fire pit!
From start to finish there was accurate and timely communication. Immaculate inside and everything was in working order. Total privacy. Felt like we were truly detached from the hustle and bustle of Atlanta. Very peaceful.
We stayed for a wedding that was in a nearby cabin. Rosewater cabin was beautiful and the amenities were great for a weekend getaway. We did have a toddler so needed to get creative with some childproofing of the stairs as the one baby gate wasn’t super sturdy, but overall it was great. We’d stay for a month if we could!

Hi Emily, We're so glad that you enjoyed the cabin and its amenities! The homeowners appreciate your feedback and will be adding a new, sturdier baby gate to the stairs. Thanks for your review, and we look forward to hosting you again soon.

Cabin was nice
Cabin was nice, does nice lots of tlc. First off the check in was delayed due to the cleaning lady being there until 30 min after 3 which was our check in time. The kitchen was pretty spacious, had everything you would need. But there were lots of ants, which got into some of our food. The view was very nice and the fireplace outside
We absolutely loved this trip and are already talking about going back. The owner was very friendly, attentive and easy to get ahold of. The wildlife in the neighborhood is amazing, so many deer, turkeys and even a bear! The property itself is beautiful but it does need a little TLC.
If you love wildlife, you will love the drive to and from this house. There are deer everywhere. House was perfect! We were able to swim and fish in the creek out front. Very pleased with everything.

Great cabin!
We stayed for a week with another couple. 2 master suites came in handy. Love the deck down by the river. It's on a road but we'd have maybe 2 cars go by per day. The hot tub is nice and big, but needed a part for repair, so it was down for a couple days. The owner was great about offering extra nights to compensate, and good communication from him.If you're wanting a quite retreat away from others, this is a great choice. Def will be back.
The cabin was clean but we found several spider webs in the bathrooms and the windows. We had discovered the air conditioner had failed on Friday and they had it repaired on Saturday. Very timely response which was great. Outside deck areas did not seem to have been cleaned at all. The view of the river was awesome. So enjoyed it. Overall, the stay was good.
I’m, Kim, I rented the cabin for my husbands birthday surprise. He loved it. It was such a great weekend, we cooked dinner every night over the fire pit. We did some fishing and just spent time together. The cabin was clean, comfortable, and the owners were fantastic, called to check on us to see if we needed anything, he brought over fire wood for us to use for the weekend. Thanks again, Lou! Just perfect. We even saw some bears and lots of deer everywhere. 100% perfect weekend!

Beautiful and cozy
My husband and I rented this Beautiful Cabin for our wedding Anniversary. The cabin was clean, cozy, and Beautiful! The pics on line are accurate to how it looks in person. Mr. Lou and his wife were very nice and helped us with anything we needed. Make sure to follow Mr. Lou’s instructions on how to get to the cabin once you get into the community, as the GPS Doesn’t take you to the address and please get there Before dark as there are twist and turns on the roads. The Christmas decorations inside was a PLUS and we LOVED OUR STAY!! on the River, quiet, and secluded. We will be back in the future.
This is a nice cozy cabin with plenty of room. The river out front provides a perfect soundtrack for quiet retreat. The property is located in a somewhat secluded area with only two other properties beyond it on the road. This means there is almost no traffic. You find that while rentong cabons, you learn that some people just rent their cabons, and some are true hosts. Leo is a host who cares about your getaway. The day before i was scheduled to arrive, i got a call and a new email with updated directions because of road closure reported that day. This host is not over bearing or in your business at all, just passing along critical info and easily reachable if you need anything. I highly recommend this property and this host!

Quiet, Relaxing Stay in Elijay
My family and I had a wonderfully relaxing stay at the Rose Water cabin. The kitchen was equipped with everything needed to cook yummy meals at home. There was plenty of dining space both inside and out. The water-side fireplace was perfect as we watched the kids tube in the river and relaxed at the end of the day.
The communication was excellent from the owners as well as the Evolve property management team.
It is tricky getting in and out from the cabin. Driving a minivan, it sometimes felt as though we weren't going to make it up some if the steep inclines. But, it was fun seeing all the deer as we maneuvered in and out of the neighborhood.
My husband and I were looking for a mountain getaway with peace and quiet for 5 days. We got just that, at this beautiful cabin. Its right on the river, and very secluded. There are 2 master's and a good size living room and kitchen. Lou the owner was amazing and made the booking, check in, too arrival and departure super easy and stressless. He provided 2 rolls of toilet paper in each bath, plus toothepaste, soap and shampoo with body wash. 4 towel sets in each bathroom as well. 2 rolls of paper towels and at leaat 4 trash bags. Enough to get you through at least 4 nights. Kitchen has everything you need as well, even some spices and extras. There are plenty of extra blankets as well. The beds are comfortable enough but maybe could use some new pillows. But i bring my own every time i travel so it didn't bother me. We had a fire every night at the pit on the water and made smores. The hot tub was very enjoyable as well as it was still cool at night. We read all of the reviews before booking and most people's complaints they either fixed or people were just looking for negativity because we did not find any issues. As far as spiders, webs or ants. You are in the woods in a wood cabin and those things can't be perfect but we were pleasantly surprised at how little there were. Lou even called us one night to check on the sugar ants, but we kept everything sugary on the fridge so they were not bad for us. Overall we are thankful and blessed
Kids loved playing and fishing in the river in the evening as we grilled dinner on the overlooking deck. Cabin itself was very cozy and had everything we needed. We saw so many deer on the way to the cabin after you go through gate house. We sat out on the deck every evening. Hot tub was nice and big very nice after a day of hiking. I will say, if you are going to get there after dark it maybe tricky to find even with step by step directions. If you are not used to heavy inclines it maybe a little intimating. We had a minivan and seemed to struggle in some areas. We thought it was worth it though for the serene spot. Communication with owner was very good, as I had many questions lol. I didn’t realize this was a resort (I probably just over looked it in the description). You do have access to 3 pools and a game room. It is a drive there but if you have kids I’m sure they would love it. We ended up using the riverside pool it was closest to entrance we used to get to the cabin. These pools are seasonal though so check the dates. (Ask for a map when you go in the gate) overall great stay and great communication!
We had the most amazing experience from beginning to end. The end was the only part that wasn't enjoyable, only because we didn't want it to end. The owners were great!. All of the information about the cabin was accurate. They gave very exact and clear directions how to locate the cabin. And from the moment we parked the car, we were in heaven. The cabin is warm and very comfortable. It truly felt like home. The views were amazing. The main theme of the cabin is "Relaxation". You have no choice but to appreciate the beauty of creation. I can't say enough about the owners and the cabin. It is a wonderful place for couples to make memories and spend real time together. We will definitely be back. Part of our time was looking at the calendar to see when our schedules would allow us to return. Thank you for providing the setting for an amazing experience
