Perfect place for absolute relaxation! We enjoyed sitting on the porch and rocking and listening to the Ellijay River and ate all of our meals on the screened in porch and watched the deer multiple times a day! Comfortable bed too. The little added pet amenities for sweet as well.

This cute little cabin on the river was the cleanest pet friendly stay. Our adult family had fun in the river with our granddog. The hot tub was clean. Will definitely be planning a return visit soon.

Enjoyable Stay

Rating Details: The property manager was more than 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 had a wonderful stay at Cherokee Shoals. Our first time traveling with our dog, but it was so nice. Only two things to point out, some of the slats on the porch were a bit wide, our dog's head fit thru some of them, a small dog could definitely get thru and fall. Our only disappointment was that the hot tub was not hot on our first night. While I appreciate that the water is changed between guests, and sometimes scheduling will affect when the wate is changed, it was disappointing that the first night it felt more like a warm bath than a "hot tub". The 2nd night was great!

Prime Riverfront Location!

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: This cabin was on a beautiful stretch of the Ellijay river. We loved just relaxing on the porch, listening to the sounds of the river and abundant wildlife. The cabin had very easy access to the river making it a breeze for our puppy to romp around in the water. The fenced in yard off the side porch was great for puppy playtime, too! The cabin was clean and comfortable for my family with a beautiful fire pit area. We got to see deer every single day during our stay as they visited the side yard for their breakfast and dinner. This is our second stay with Sliding Rock Cabins, and we loved it just as much as the first time!

Great stay!

The house was perfect for a group of four. We also had our four small dogs (note the front porch railing slots were wide enough that a small dog could fit through.) Very comfortable beds, clean and well stocked. We had a few issues with the hot tub jets and temps but still a lovely place.

Excellent Getaway

My wife and I enjoyed our stay. It was nice being secluded without being too far away from civilization. The drive to get to the cabin was a little daunting at first, but we got used to it. The nearby town of Ellijay has a very active downtown area filled with restaurants and small shops. We would definitely visit again.
