Our furbabies LOVED this cabin. The only thing missing was a dishwasher which would've been more of an issue if we were staying longer.

winter vacation

The staff if very attempt but still had a broken toilet that they said it will take an entire day or so to fix to what I said not to. I did not want to share my off-society time with an estranger on a very small cabin for a day or two working on the toilet. We also lost internet and phone for an entire day on top that there is not cellphone signal at the cabin, and I found very discouraging the fact that they did not offer any type of compensation for none of these two incidents that cause a lot of discomfort on my stay. Especially the broken toilet on the main floor having to use the secund floor toilet for my six days stay at the place. Bright side the cabin was clean the view was great and the neighborhood perfect for walking my dogs. I would say this is a great place for a summer vacation because the river was tentative and beautiful. We saw some big fish coming up the current.

Pleasant atmosphere

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our stay. Need to note that parts of the cabin are not 6'6 conducive. Low beam in the upstairs bathroom, and the lights on the fan at the cabin entrance. I learned to duck. Very happy for the dog friendly accommodations. This will be our top choice when we return to Blue Ridge.

Peaceful for people; fun exploring for dogs!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Perfect for us (2 adults & 1 large dog). The cabin & property were accurately described; clean & well-maintained, including the outside area. We loved the location. Very quiet & secluded with beautiful, wooded views yet only 20-25 minutes from Blue Ridge and Ellijay. Our active dog loved exploring the large creek for hours. And the sounds of the creek were relaxing even inside the cabin. We loved having access to the hot tub & used it daily! Our favorite activity away from the cabin was riding the rail bikes in Blue Ridge. This is our 1st stay at this cabin but our 2nd times renting with Sliding Rock Cabins. We are grateful that they are so dog friendly. This is definitely our go-to cabin rental place from now on when we visit the area, usually once per year.

Remote a good and bad thing😊

We had a great stay-everything we needed except cereal bowls…really? Comfy with great wrap around deck-3 sides Did not use hot tub but tempted since it was already warm!😃 No issues that would keep us from returning. Ground clearance and 4wheel drive could have been needed if very wet or snowy.

cabin was super cute..just what we needed to recharge... The road was no joke getting in to the cabin Lol it was a bit rainy and drainage was an issue in the dog yard... but they loved being able to come and go all around the deck... Beautiful area.. the creek was amazing.. would have loved an easier way to get down to the water..but it was a little chilly anyways... overall a great experience...

Nice house but. Getting into water was not easy

House was very nice but it was small the river is not easy to get into and that was one thing that I specified and they say they're driveway you can get in but we used our four wheel drive because the driveway really really needs a lot of work they need to move the boulders out of the driveway and put some rock down and grade it. What I said the house is nice but my main thing is being able to get into the river with me and my dog and we're both not young anymore and you had to climb down to the river and there's also a road right across on the other side of the river and the house sits right on the river which was nice cuz you could hear the water constant but you can also hear all the traffic going and see all the traffic going

He could play in the fenced yard or on the porch with no worries. We were able to walk in the creek and explore. It was the perfect vacation and just what we were looking for.

Adorable Cabin by the River

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved it here so much. The cabin is located in a secluded, quiet, and peaceful location. The river is really close to it. This place was perfect for my two senior dogs (one with limited mobility and one who had a leg amputation in February as he fights cancer). They had such a blast walking down to the fire pit every day, listening to the birds, and basking in the fresh air. We made so many wonderful memories here, and we do plan to come back. We cannot wait!

Father’s Day Getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Beautiful! The creek is stunning! This property was such a treat for my father and I to get away and enjoy Father’s Day with my dog. We enjoyed everything from the wineries, hiking, the fire pit, and all that the area has to offer. next time, we will bring our golf clubs! The interior does need some updating and I would probably not bring a low riding car. The driveway was an experience! Other than that we had a perfect time! Thank you so much! I will be back!

Weekend getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our stay at the River house retreat. First the con’s: we were given a code to secure the key which was fine, however we were not told that the property had 2 lockboxes. Took us 15-20 minutes to access and only because we called and they told us about the other lockbox. Please minimize the amount of lockboxes for future guests or tell them which lock box to use. 2nd con- large amount of water and mud mysteriously appearing near the front door, I even swept the dirt and mud once to have the water appear once again. Now for the pros- cabin was very clean and super hospitable. We brought our small dog and she loved being a mountain dog. Location is amazing and printed directions were great, got us right there.Being on the creek and having the water right there was soothing and super relaxing, loved the front porch. Overall a great experience other than the minor issues stated above.

Sliding Rock Cabins- Riverhouse Retreat

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My wife and I stayed at Riverhouse Retreat overall we enjoyed our stay the setting of the cabin was nice with a beautiful view right on the creek.The kitchen was well stocked with cookware and utensils.The cabin is older which isn't a bad thing but there were a couple of maintenance issues that needed to be addressed. Primarily there were a couple of loose boards that needed to be replaced on the deck by the hot tub. Also there was some fascia missing from the hot tub. The property looks like it could use a deep cleaning we noticed cobwebs and dust on several of the decorations and ceiling fans. Also, there was mold/mildew noted in the window of the upstairs shower. When we removed the pillow cases from the pillows at checkout we saw several stains on the pillows as well. Also the cabin description states that 4 wheel drive is not needed but if you have it I would definitely bring it.our Tucson barley made it out the driveway/ road each day. It is very steep and gravel/clay with several pot holes

Great location, but needs a deep cleaning and updates.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: First, the cabin is in a great location along Fightingtown Creek. The sound of the flowing water was very peaceful and the screened deck overlooking the creek was pleasant to stand on. No complaints about the setting. The home needs to be updated and receive a deep clean. There was noticeable dog hair on the quilt in the downstairs bedroom and some type of oil-based stains on the bedsheets. Dog hair was present on the bedroom nightstand. One of the main reasons we enjoy Sliding Rock Cabins is the fact they allow pets without the exorbitant fees most other cabin rental companies charge, and the other cabin we have rented from them was very clean. This one was not and really needs a comprehensive cleaning. The refrigerator probably will need replacing soon since there was rust on the side of it. The property is close to Blue Ridge and is a 25 minute or so ride to downtown. Whiskey and Water was a restaurant we tried for the first time and was great. Tipping Point Brewery had quality beer we tried before dinner. All in all, if you want a quiet setting against a peaceful creek which isn’t too difficult to reach (while the roads are well-maintained, I would recommend at least a crossover-type vehicle especially on the secondary road that leads to the cabin) that gives you a lot of space along the water and can easily accommodate up to four adults, this is a good spot. It just needs some TLC in the cleaning department.
