Wonderful Private Serene and Secluded Cottage with River frontage

Merry Rose Cottage, on the banks of the Toccoa River, is accessible by a gravel country road, (presently under repair and underway!!!) and will be completed soon.) Surrounded by lush vegetation and the sounds of nature. This lovely country cottage, with its lovely Decor and relaxed atmosphere, has a whimsical feel; even the smallest details have been attended to. There is a picnic area only steps away from the dock overlooking the River with a romantic seating area that would be perfect for an intimate dinner for two. Guests will feel as though they have simply borrowed the weekend country house of an old friend instead of renting just another mountain vacation home. Whether you decide to spend time relaxing in the hot tub located in the area off the master bedroom, or snuggled up on the sofa beside the wood burning fireplace, you are sure to find your perfect spot in this charming cottage on the River. The Cottage has two private master bedrooms with their own bathroom and river view. The King Master suite has a stunning private bath that has been totally renovated. In the Master King Bedroom there is a king size bed with new comfortable mattress. There are cathedral ceilings w/skylights in both the new bath and the Master Suite which opens on to a large deck with a beautiful recessed hot tub. Kitchen is nicely stocked with dishwasher and new low profile Whirlpool Stainless Steel microwave, and there is a Stainless Steel gas grill on the deck for outdoor grilling. Amenities include newly installed Fast Fiber OpiticsWiFi, Dish Network (over 150 channels to choose from) with 43" Samsung HD Smart TV with DVR in the living room, and 32" RCA flat screen television also with DVR in King Master bedroom and the Queen Master Suite has new 32" Flat screen TV also. If you appreciate a good book there is your choice of books for riverside reading! Nearby attractions include hiking the beautiful trails of North Georgia, biking, antique shopping, vineyards and wineries. Also white water rafting, horseback riding, scenic railroad in Blue Ridge and the famous Swan Drive-In.
Of course we include fine linens and large fluffy towels and robes. An initial supply of guest soaps, toilet paper, dishwasher detergent, paper towels and trash bags will also be provided. For colder seasons firewood is provided for fire pit and wood burning fireplace in the living area..

Nice secluded area
The house was nice enough although dated and needs some maintenence. Only 1 skylight worked, bed wasn't very comfy and pillows were hard and flat. Wi-Fi password sent to us was incorrect as was location to find it in the property. Several lights didn't work as well

Anniversary trip
We had a wonderful week at Merry Rose cabin in Mineral Bluff. The river view from the property is spectacular. The views of wildlife going into and out of the property is an added bonus. The home was clean and ready when we got there. Our only two small issues were the air conditioner in the master bedroom struggled to keep it as cool as we like at night, especially in July, and the back door that we used to come in and out would jam and was very tough to open and close. Other than that, our stay was perfect.

Mineral Bluff cabin
Cabin was nice and comfortable. Given the wrong wifi password, but found the correct one in a folder. Would recommend labeling all the switches since there are so many. Heavy rain while we were there and the road to the cabin was really bad. Nice weekend and the river view was beautiful.

Great Spring break family time
We enjoyed our stay at Merry Rose Cottage. The house was as described and well suited for our family - me, my husband, our 16yr old son and our dogs. Having the river right behind the house is amazing! The kitchen is well stocked for a rental. The hot tub is lovely. The road leading to the house is gravel, has many ruts and is very narrow. We were in a minivan and did fine, but we are used to driving on such roads. Be prepared if arriving at night. It’s a wonderful spot to relax and enjoy the outdoors for sure.

River Cabin
Beautiful river, nice new deck by the water. Property owner did communicate quickly on concerns. Cabin is very old and tired. Lots concerns with rotten wood and other issues. Cabin had not been cleaned thoroughly in a long time. I ask about several issues that previous reviews & had been assure they had been addressed.

A Memorable Trip with Some Room for Improvement
I wanted to share some feedback regarding our recent stay at your VRBO property. While we enjoyed our trip, there were a few concerning aspects that need your attention. The property's view was exceptional, but some issues affected our overall experience. We cleaned the property meticulously upon departure, but certain maintenance and hygiene issues were noticeable during our stay. Lack of screens on windows prevented fresh air circulation. Widespread wood rot around windows and doors compromised safety and aesthetics. Unstable entry threshold at the back door due to wood rot. Couch without back cushions made sitting uncomfortable. Mold and dirt in the hot tub. Mold in the large shower in the addition. Dirty and odorous sponge at the sink. Inadequate kitchen cookware. Mold in the refrigerator. Fireplace damage due to improper use. I've taken photos of these issues, should you require them. My intention in sharing this feedback is to assist you in improving the property, not to criticize. I understand the effort needed to maintain Superhost status and want to ensure your property meets guests' high standards. Feel free to reach out to discuss these issues or for further details. I hope this feedback helps enhance your property for future guests.

The privacy is fantastic. Comfy cottage, everything you really need is onsite. Standing on the small deck looking out on the river is so relaxing, listening to it flow by. Watching the geese come and go. Occasionally a kayak or raft floats by. Just so relaxing can't recommend this place enough.

Great location, needs more attention to cleanliness
The property is a great location on the river and a nice new dock with a great view. Saw the Blue Ridge polar express train, which was a nice touch during the holiday season. Not too far from downtown Blue Ridge but still a good 25 minute drive but worth the day trip. Upon arrival, I did have to clean quite a bit (spent ~1.5 hrs) before we could settle in, including cabinets and drawers and some dishes/pots and pans. Surfaces were dusty and some covered in soot (likely from the fireplace). We were not able to use the hot tub, it would not heat up quickly, even before the temperatures dipped below 45 degrees and honestly didn’t trust the cleanliness of it given the condition inside the house. The master is newly renovated and nice, although cold in the winter and the space heater didn’t work, at least for that size room. I suggest a good deep clean every once in while, especially given that this is a pet friendly rental (we had two dogs with us). The couch needs replacing and is has springs coming through the couch and had to layer 2-3 throw pillows to use. The heat went out the last night we were there when the temperatures dropped and may have been controlled by the utilities to prevent over usage. The host indicated we should use the fireplace but we could not find matches or a lighter for the fireplace, which would have been nice to use.

We've stayed many times - the river view can't be beat
This cottage is dear to us - we have stayed her many times over the years. Love the river view from every room. We've stayed at others that were "on" the river, but it was a deep ravine/ hike away. Here, it is right there.
