Greetings from the North Georgia Mountains and Sliding Rock Cabins! Thank you for the great review you gave us on your recent stay at Riverhouse Retreat. We are so glad to hear that you found the house clean and comfortable, and that you enjoyed the quiet, creekside atmosphere of the outside area.
It is wonderful to have you back for a third time; we work really hard to provide a consistent and relaxing environment for our guests and are thrilled we didn't disappoint. We truly have the best guests! As a reminder, we offer returning guests a discount on future stays during the standard season, so please be sure to mention that when you are ready to book your next visit.
Thanks again, and we hope to see you for a fourth stay soon!
Cheers!
We absolutely loved her this cabin. It was everything we were looking for. On the water, near town but out of the way. Definitely hope to stay here again
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.

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

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.
We loved this place. It was a relaxing retreat. All you have to bring is food, clothes and a good book. The cabin has everything else that you need to relax and enjoy nature.

This is our 3rd time staying at RHR and we love the location. The staff at Sliding Rock are always so friendly and helpful. The location is perfect for visiting Ellijay or Blue Ridge. Lots of great places to eat and shop in Ellijay. Will be back.
The property was perfect. Slept with the sounds of the creek. We loved the little fenced area to let the dogs out. It was very convenient for hiking. We would definitely come back!

Comfortable cabin half a mile from the Benton-MacCaye trailhead.
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!

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...

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.

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.
