Clean, well equipped house with beautiful views

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: Sweet Water Retreat is a lovely rustic-style home that is spacious, well-furnished, and extremely comfortable. We had a lovely stay there. I highly recommend it. Note that the property sits pretty high up on a hill, and the road to it is very narrow. On the plus side, it offers great privacy, and stairs that lead right to the river.

WONDERFUL

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a lovely time! We stay in different cabins through sliding rock and this has been our favorite. Easy river access and we always love how everything is dog proofed. Absolutely loved our trip- this place had everything we needed. The driveway was super difficult to pull into even with an SUV, and the drive to get to the cabin was rough but those are the only complaints. We will be back!!!

Christmas Mountain Holiday

Lovely property- We loved the visiting Ellijay and Blue Ridge. Mercier’s Orchard is a must, especially the fried pies. The house was spotless, comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen. Loved hiking each day and coming home to a roaring fire. The dogs had the best time running along the river bank. This is the dog-friendliest property we have ever stayed at with a small fenced area right outside the kitchen door. Screened porch was delightful! Check-in was easy with great communication and specific directions. We hope to come back in the fall for leaves and apples!

A restful 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: Very comfortable except not enough light for reading in the living room. I think there were no lightbulbs in the ceiling fan/light, which was like 20 feet off the ground. Good outdoor seating and views of the river. Good design for our dog to wander within three connected fenced areas: the dog relief area, the screened deck, and the lower deck with picnic table and hot tub. A relatively low number of loose dogs in the neighborhood. No walking trails within walking distance, but we enjoyed walking on the steep roads, included a road with no houses. Some in our party thought the beds were too hard. The dining table was pretty tight for four, but the location by the river more than made up for it. We loved being able to enjoy a wood fire in the fireplace.

Quiet retreat

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: Very well appointed cabin. Our dogs loved the river and we took walks. Great weather and very quiet. Our only problem was the beds. Very uncomfortable and bouncy. That is the only reason we will not rent again for vacation. SRC helped us right away with the roku tv. I don't mind ring camera on the driveway, but I didn't like it at the front door.

Breath Taking views right on the RIVER! SERENE and Pet Friendly

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: Such an amazing serene location. We are absolutely in love with this cabin and location. Sitting on the screen porch, deck or down by the river just relaxing with the sounds of nature, deer roaming close and the river flowing so close to us! This is exactly what we wanted. The cabin is so clean, pet friendly and everything we could need is there...fully stock kitchen. The beautiful wood burning fireplace was such a welcome feature. We will be back to this cabin, hopefully very soon!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. 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: Amazing location and amazing stop. The house was so beautiful, however upon my family departure cleaning the house I noticed that there was trash under the dressers and bed that wasn’t for us. However, it was a very simple clean up. I really enjoy the communication with the property managers very sweet and kept us up to date on anything happened in the area. I do definitely plan on coming back next summer again. Very dog friendly which I loved. Wish the dog area and lighting in the dog area was a little bigger, but we manage. Thank you all for everything you did for my family to enjoy this home.

Beautiful location

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We are long term clients of Sliding Rock Cabins, having over 20 years of rentals with them. This our second stay at Coosawatee Resort. We had two issues that were taken care of: an infestation of "noseeums." The second day, the cabin was treated and problem seemed to be eradicated. However, we had to Wash the bed linens twice on the first & second days to ensure the biting bugs were completely gone. The second issue was the main road to the cabin was closed for washout repairs. We recommend having an alternate route on the rental paperwork since routing us into the cabin required an after hours call to the office to be guided in. After that, things went smoothly despite the lingering bug bites.

fantastic home

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: The place overall is fantastic, however it is on a gravel rd and was difficult to find with directions. There is little space to turn around in the driveway as we own a truck. You would have to go up the rd past your. Place to navigate a turn around. The place s cozy and cute. Three suggestions thou. I don’t know if there is anything that can be done, but the window panes on the door going out to the patio must be double panes and are fogged up making them look dirty. It’s a beautiful view of the river and this distracts from it. Second, I believe the outside light for the driveway maybe shorted out. We could not get it to stay on, it would flicker out, which was scary at night if you had to let a dog out. Also upstairs bathroom floor between door and study are, there is a screw or nail that protrudes out and I caught my foot on it a couple of time. Hot tub was wonderful and everything was fantastic. Would definitely go again
