Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had such a peaceful, relaxing stay at River Dance. The kitchen was fully equipment with appliances making it easy to prepare delicious meals rather than going out for costly meals.

Recommended-and dog 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: This cabin was a great escape to the mountains. It was very clean and dog friendly. The front yard was fenced, so it was easy to let our dog out to do her duty, and towels were provided to place over the couch so she could sit with us. The river sounded beautiful. There’s a cabin next to you, but we still felt secluded for the most part. The hot tub and grill were great features as well, and the check in/check out process was easy. The downtown Blue Ridge area was only about 20 minutes away, and was great to visit.

Great stay!

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 really enjoyed our stay. The cabin is well equipped and very comfortable. Loved that we could bring our dog along. She loved exploring the back yard! We saw a family of deer many times over the course of the week, and although warned about the possibility of bears we didn’t see any. Loved being there during apple season, Mercers was our fave. Do yourself a favor and get some steaks at Oink and Moo in Ellijay. Also recommend Sasquatch Biscuits in Blue Ridge. We didn’t use the hot tub but it was perfectly clean and very inviting. We’ll be back!

The cabin is absolutely gorgeous and was perfect for me and my 3 sisters. We had 4 dogs and you welcomed each and everyone of them. Pet bowls - treats just so very nice. The dogs were able to enjoy the river and the fenced yard was perfect. We saw deer across the river and a bear the morning we left! For us Cajuns that big bear was a treat. We are definitely coming back!
