PERFECT Vacay EVER!

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 are the Pierce Family. We rented Forever Friday at Sliding Rock mainly for their dog policy and for welcoming large breeds...our four babies. On arrival, we did not expect the perfect cabin for us and the perfect Ellijay river to swim and float in! We found family fun in one perfect place!! Tara was the perfect contact/host. We had so much fun and wished we could have stayed longer. Our longest excursion was under 2 hours away, but we couldn’t wait to get back to just hang out. Thank you Sliding Rock! We will be back soon!

Great place

We had a great time at this place. It was clean and had everything we needed. As a person who doesn’t own pets I was worried about any smells, but it didn’t smell bad, which was great. The river was nice but not that good for swimming or fishing. Overall it was a nice place.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: As always, we love staying at Forever Friday and ALL of the cabins with Sliding Rock! We were not able to get into the river due to rain causing a stronger current and murky water. We still had a great time walking, grilling and playing games. Sliding Rocks is the best dog friendly place to stay! The cabins are always clean and the staff are always kind and helpful!

Quiet, lazy, dog friendly river retreat

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: This was a perfect getaway for us- 2 couples, 2 grown children, and 2 dogs. The draw was being right on the river, being able to take dogs, and having privacy. Besides being in the river -the pool table, hot tub, screened porch, deck and fire pit were where we spent all of our time - we only went out for one meal and a round of golf. The cabin had all the essentials you would expect. The property was gated so the dogs had space to roam. From the main road turnoff to the cabin be prepared for steep, gravel, winding narrow roads.

Sliding Rock are very professional and the Cabins they offer are amazing. We will for sure use them again and hopefully get this same cabin again. The rooms are great and the boys really loved the game room.

I think this was the 6th time we have stayed at this cabin, but have also enjoyed several other cabins with Sliding Rock Cabins in the past. Cabins are always clean, great amenities, and exactly as advertised on their website. I can not recommend this cabin strongly enough, and have always had great experiences in the past with the Sliding Rock Cabins management staff.

Our stay

We enjoed the cabin. There were a few issues that were there when we arrived and could not be addressed until after we left, such as water in basement game room. But I’m sure all will be fixed for next guest. The road to cabin was very long, windy and not what I enjoyed. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5.

It's so nice to be able to bring our dogs to such a wonderful place with a fenced yard so they can have a vacation too! They loved frolicking in the river and lounging on the bank in the sun. The adults also had a wonderful time in the hot tub and playing pool. Our only wish would have been that the air hockey table was working.

Family reunion

Beautiful property and perfect location. My family really enjoyed the stay at this property. We hang out on the lower deck for most of the day. This deck is right on the river and the men were fishing from there the whole day while we kept them company and sunbath. There’re a lot of very steep stairs connecting the four levels of the house which makes it very difficult for seniors, younger children an older dogs to access. You can reach the lower deck by walking around the house on the outside. We had my grandson‘s first birthday party at the river by the fire pit. It was so beautiful and beautiful memories were made.

greetings Rachel, Thank you so much for the lovely review of Forever Friday. We are glad to hear you have made such wonderful memories of your grandson's first birthday and glad you were able to make use of the outside stairs to get to the firepit and lowest deck. That "fishing hole" has some whoppers in it! Jerri
