Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My two adult children and I haven’t vacationed together in far too many years. With four dogs between us and hectic work schedules, there was always an excuse. We finally planned this escape and I was fearful. To our surprise, the cabin was absolutely perfect! Our dogs loved it as much as we did. In fact, we booked a full week in November in the same cabin. Thanks to Julie and Tara for helping create the perfect place for such amazing memories!

The road in/out was alittle scarey certainly when you met another vehicle. Once you got to the cottage it was all worth it.

Peaceful cabin on the river

The road in is a little bumpy and narrow but not really a problem. As soon as you drive up to the cabin, you can hear the constant flow of the river. It's so nice sitting down by the river or on the porch, especially if it rains. The cabin it self is a little on the dark side but very cute and clean. Loved the rocking recliners. We were able keep the front door open because there is a screen door, so we could always listen to the river. And the large fenced yard is great for the dog, along with other dog amenities. The cabin is in a good location between Ellijay and Blue Ridge. The only "problem" the property manager (not VRBO) did not respond to a text regarding an issue (not an emergency). Would definitely recommend!!

Spring Break At ACAR

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 spent 4 nights during spring break at A Cottage At Riverside, and it exceded all of our expectations. The location was beautiful beyond belief- instant relaxation as soon as we rounded the corner to the back of the cabin and heard the water from the river. The cabin itself was cozy, clean, and well stocked with essentials. The fenced yard was perfect for our dog to play in. The roads in were well maintained and manageable even for a couple of flat road Floridians! Our only regret is that we didn't stay longer! We can't wait to return to A Cottage At Riverside.

The cabin was very easy access to both Ellijay and Blue Ridge. We had a wonderful time at the Apple Festival in Ellijay, and enjoyed walking around and exploring all of the shops in Blue Ridge. We were so very pleased with Sliding Rock Cabins. This is our second time staying with them and we will definitely be back again!

Our dogs felt right at home with dog toys , bowls and beds that were provided.
