About the home: Rosemary Cottage was built in 1901 in the heart of Hamilton Georgia.The home has been completely updated so you can enjoy the charm with modern comforts.

This 2,700 sq ft cottage is charming and the moment you walk in you will feel like you are back in the 1900's. My husband and I made sure each piece of furniture fit the time frame of the home.

We have a beautiful garden/sunroom where you will want to cuddle up and read a book. Our guest favorite area of the home has been the porches. They love to sip on their morning coffee and take in each of the three large southern porches.

Why are we different that most VRBOs? Our family used to visit Pine Mountain three time a year and we have tried many VRBOs in the area and we always had to bring the Keurig and several items to make the VRBO have the comforts of our home. We have gone above and be on to make sure you have almost everything that you need to feel nestled in and able to enjoy your trip. We have shampoo, conditioner, bath soap, hand soap, dish soap, and laundry detergent. Our beds are brand new and have 2 layers of blanket to make sure that you can be commutable no matter what the season is. Each guest will get 2 pillows with chocolates on their beds when the arrive. The 2 queen rooms and king room come with robes. YES ROBES!!! (We want you to feel like you are at home.) If you like to cook we have a FULL stock kitchen for you.

We love Rosemary’s Cottage; this was our fourth stay, and we hope to come again. Everything was perfect and we enjoy walking over to dinner and grabbing an ice cream afterwards! The house is beyond charming, clean, and has all you need for a perfect stay.

Thank you for taking time to write us a review. Come see us again.
The home was so charming—felt like it was straight out of a Hallmark movie, It was so beautifully decorated for Christmas! There was plenty of room for all 8 of us. The home was exactly as described, everything you need for a delightful stay. The kitchen had everything you needed and the host had so many special touches throughout! We appreciate their thoughtfulness! We all really hated to leave!
This home is very clean, quaint and well taken care of! The attention to detail was phenomenal in my opinion, it was centrally located for the things we wanted to do while in the area.The Host is very attentive, friendly, informative and responds quickly to emails. You won’t be disappointed if you chose to stay here!!

Thank you for such a lovely review. We appreciate you taking the time to write one for us. Please come and see us again.
What an amazing place! The home was even better in person. Beautifully restored and decorated and the beds were very comfortable. The location is also perfectly situated a short stroll from restaurants and the city square. I would definitely stay again and recommend this place for anyone looking in the area.
We had a wonderful stay at this early 1900's house which was spacious and a had awesome veranda. The Good Lord provided cooler temperatures and lower humidity during our stay, so we could enjoy being outside with the family. All the added amenities made the visit special and comfortable for all. The beds were comfortable so we got a good nice sleep too. We would highly recommend this home for anyone visiting the area, especially if you have a large family. Our visit was filled with wonderful moments and memories.
Loved staying at Rosemarys Cottage. We’ve been coming to the area for years and this was by far the best VRBO we’ve stayed at! The house is perfectly decorated and the owners have furnished the home with anything you could possibly need. We can’t wait to go back!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Rosemary Cottage. The home was perfectly set for our family. We love the location. Friendly town. Host was very accommodating. Our family has agreed that we’d like to stay there again next year.
The host was very attentive, even calling to check on us during a heavy rainstorm. The home was very comfortable and the host went the extra mile to make us feel welcome. It’s a beautiful antique home with plenty of space and enough modern conveniences to make it easy on everyone. The neighborhood was lovely and most people waved at us when we were sitting on the porch relaxing. Would definitely highly recommend this property.

Thank you for taking time to right such a wonderful review. We truly appreciate you.
A most livable home. We lived all over the house. Spent loads of time on the front porch, played cards in the game room, and hung out in gathering room.We really enjoyed walking around the little town and visiting Hamilton Ice Cream EVERY evening
This was one of the best VRBO properties we have ever stayed out. The owners had thought of everything we might need and had great recommendations for things in the area. The house was very comfortable and relaxing. It was a great location to the activities we had planned while we were there. Even our doggies had a great vacation!
We had a great time. The lovely house was extremely clean. The beds were super comfortable. The ice cream shop and sub shop are within walking distance. There were great snacks in the kitchen when we arrived. The kitchen had everything we needed. My dog loved the fenced in area.We hope to go there again.

About the host
Hosted by Katie and Cory Helmerson
Hello we are Cory and Katie and we are from all over the place. Cory was stationed with the Coast Guard and we were lucky to live by the ocean. I am Flight Attendant for a major airline and enjoy traveling the world. We both wanted to make Rosemary's Cottage a special place for all who visit the Hamilton area. Since Cory and I have traveled a lot for work it has been important to us to have all the little touches throughout the home. We truly hope you enjoy the darling home as much a we do. Our most favorite spot is sitting on the back porch watching the squirrels run around and the birds singing as we sip on our morning coffee.
Why they chose this property
This neighborhood is incredible. The street Rosemary's cottage is on take you back to 1900's. We have one family who owns a lot of land and old buildings who are 6th generation. They take great pride in keeping the area to feel like it once did. I love that you can get in from you long drive or flight and walk across the street and order margarita and chips and enjoy. Then walk home and get some rest with our amazing amenity's. Our location is what dreams are made of. We are on half of a acre in the middle of a down town location. You have the best of both worlds slowing down and enjoying the birds chirping , walking to get ice cream, or enjoy the 18 mile Man O' War train trail that take you through Callaway Gardens and to Pine Mountain. WE ARE IN THE BEST LOCATION!
What makes this property unique
We stand out from the rest because we really do care about Rosemary's Cottage. We care about the people staying with us. We want this cottage to feel like your second home. We ware hoping to have people celebrate big moments in this house and enjoy the holidays here. Rosemary's Cottage will be decorated for Christmas and Halloween. Please come share you holidays here at the Cottage. I also thing we are different because the proceeds of this home goes to our three children's education. We take great pride appreciating all you do for us by choosing to stay with us. Because of your stay our child gets to play baseball and have their Mom home more. Because of how much we care about out visitors we try to have our home like Chip and Joanna. We hope you love it here as much as we do.
