This property was VERY pet friendly! The scenery was picturesque and the sound of the stream outside was hypnotic. My only complaint is that we didn’t stay long enough. Highly recommend this cabin to others and would love to come back again soon.

Quiet time next to flowing stream

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: Quiet little cabin of flowing stream. to The printed direction we were encouraged to follow rather than GPS were incorrect. Finally we used GPS and it got us there.
Response from VrboOwner on Feb 27, 2026
Hi Linda, I'm sorry you had trouble finding the cabin and glad GPS worked for you. We double checked the directions sent and they are correct. Sometimes GPS does not work because cell service is spotty in the North Georgia Mountains. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for staying with us. Sliding Rock Cabins

Rustic and Quaint

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I'll admit, when we were driving up, I was very hesitant. It was definitely more rustic and out of the way than I expected, but being right on the river was a saving grace. The house had everything we needed and we definitely utilized the hot tub and fire pit/place every night. I wish we'd brought our dog, he would have loved it! It's kind of remote so we would eat out for lunch and try to cook or eat leftovers for dinner since there's nothing close to the cabin and we didn't want to drive down the roads in the dark.

Lovely cabin

We greatly enjoyed our stay at this cabin. It’s tucked away from other cabins (although you will see a road on the other end of the creek that gets a moderate amount of traffic driving by from other cabins), incredibly dog friendly, and very close driving distance to all the activities at Blue Ridge and Ellijay. The cabin itself is cozy and has all the amenities that you could need for a stay. The hot tub, grill, and outdoor fire pit were our personal favorites. Thank you again for a great getaway!

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...

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.

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.

Greetings Mark, Thank you for the 5 star review of Riverhouse retreat. We change the hot tub water between every guest, and we are glad to hear it completely warmed up for your arrival! I am notifying housekeeping to do a search for cereal bowls at the cabin. If there are not any, we will have them for your next stay! EDIT: Housekeeping went to the cabin the day of your review and found 7 existing bowls. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay.
