Very nice cabin. Great layout for our family of seven: grandparents, parents and 14,12 & 9 year olds. Loved the location: on a stream amongst wooded mountains yet close enough to the town of Ellijay. We enjoyed the fire pit, the sound of the rushing and the starry night sky.

Great location, fantastic view!

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: The cabin was very nice and very clean. The view was amazing. As a party of 7 adults, advertised to accommodate 8, indoor dining and general living room seating was not set up to accommodate the entire group. It was too cold to eat outside at a larger table, which could have accommodated us. Note the twin beds are youth/child size, smaller than a standard twin. I am 5’-6” tall so ended up sleeping on the couch downstairs, which was very comfortable. Although I would definitely use Sliding Rock again and again, I probably would not come back to this particular cabin.

Breathtaking Scenery

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: From the balcony, the views of the expansive creek can only be described as incredible. Walking down the well crafted path toward the creek, on your way to an expansive fire pit, your eyes bring you views that are hard to describe. Sitting around the fire pit, at waters edge, the sound of the rushing water is mesmerizing. Tired of the rat race, want an escape, this is the place.

Two paws up

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 our dogs vacation, we were just the people he invited. Seriously, travel with our furry family member was never more enjoyable or easy. Sliding Rock Cabins are amazing and this property could not have been more perfect. Our pup and typically phone attached children were in the creek within 5 minutes of arrival. The rocking chairs on the main porch were perfect for morning coffee with the grandparents. This house was perfect for our family of 8. If you are looking for an amazingly private sanctuary that is also a stones throw from everything you need this home is your place. And if you have a pup....I wouldn't want to rent from anyone else then Sliding Rock! We are so grateful for our time in this beautiful spot.

Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback! We are thrilled to hear that your "furry family member" and the rest of your family of 8 had such an enjoyable stay. It is great to know that the kids enjoyed the creek and that the porch provided a perfect spot for morning coffee with the grandparents. We take pride in offering a private sanctuary that remains convenient to everything our guests need. We truly appreciate your kind words about renting from Sliding Rock Cabins and look forward to welcoming you all back again soon. Sliding Rock Cabins
