Best getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was a great place for our 50th birthday getaway. The cabin is well equipped and the people at Sliding Rock Rentals were very attentive and offered suggestions for celebrating the 4th of July while we were there. The location could be tricky to get to in rain or ice/ snow without a 4 wheel drive, but that’s part of the charm. The river was wonderful for relaxing next to with our pups and the fenced in yard was a big convenience. Planning on coming back soon!

Quiet place to relax and recharge with everything you need.

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 was a wonderful experience for us. We are always looking for a place that has everything you need in one spot. This cabin checks all the boxes. It looks like everything was thought of. We brought our three dogs, two medium size & one small. This was one of the most dog friendly places I have experienced. Make sure you read all of the instructions they send you prior to your trip. We planned for everything but so did Sliding Rock Cabins. This company was excellent! During our trip they stayed in communication with us and were available to answer any questions we had via text message. I would highly recommend this company if you want a great cabin experience and you enjoy the mountains. I couldn’t think of anything that would have made this trip better.

Perfect Valentine Getaway for Couples

We enjoyed everything about our stay. It was a great last minute getaway and the cabin was exceptional. The extra attention to details in every space made the stay even better. The cabin has so many cozy spaces. We especially loved the decor, the cozy blankets, fireplace, Bluetooth speakers, kitchen and chairs overlooking the river below, the bedroom space, the extra doggie treats and bed, and even the emerald green cabinet pulls. We especially enjoyed the covered bridge being lit up on our way in and out each day too. A very quiet place to retreat and enjoy nature. Highly recommended.

Secluded cabin

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The cabin is nestled amongst beautiful landscape. The proximity to the river is enchanting. The space is perfect for two people. It’s private, quiet and a great place to retreat. The drive is fine up to the entrance of the property about .5 miles you’ll need a 4x4 and be experienced driver. We had a truck 4x2 which the wheels spun a few times. Aside from the ingress & egress it was pleasant.

A Week of Peace and Tranquility

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: Riverside Nest is beautiful - well appointed, great floor plan, very comfortable and so much natural light. The large windows overlooking the river and the skylights are a big plus. We enjoyed our peaceful week listening to the river, and so did our two dogs (our elderly dog appreciated the one story cabin). We saw deer, and even a bear! Thank you so much!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Place was wonderful in every aspect. From the drive up to the cabin and daily deer we saw. The cabin was fully prepared with utensils pans washing machine wifi not that you need to be on line much. The nights were full of beautiful sounds and tranquility. You get use to the katydids and the music that they produces ties the river for the perfect sound to sleep to. We wish we could of stayed longer.

I cooked all my meals there. The fire pit and hot tub were top notch. The only thing I would recommend is to maybe grade the drive way where to take the sharp right leaving the cabin. You can tell it's getting a bit slick. I will definitely be back again!

When you live in a tourist town such as ours it is imperative to get away for some peace and quiet. Everything was perfect. Sliding Rock Cabins is a joy to work with. We didn't have any issues at all getting into our cabin, it was exactly as stated on the Internet and met or exceeded all of our expectations. We will be booking again very soon. Thank you so much for providing us a much needed peaceful vacation. We will be back very soon.

Perfect Getaway Cabin

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 is the second Sliding Rock cabin we’ve stayed at & loved it as much as the first! The sound of the river rushing over rocks is so relaxing, the gazebo area with gas fire feature is cozy & magical at night with the gazebo and deck strung bulb lights. The skylights in the bedroom are perfect for star gazing. We really, really loved this cabin and will be back!The only thing we’ll note for next visit is that there wasn’t a microwave as listed, no paper towels were provided, and the fireplace doesn’t have a gas starter so kindling or a starter stick is needed (they provide plenty of firewood, though!)
