About this property

River Ritz | No Pet Fees | Sleeps 6 | Riverfront Hot Tub

Lots of flat land! River Ritz is a rustic, 3bd, 2bth 2 story log cabin that sits a few feet from the ELLIJAY RIVER and truly has it all. At this Sliding Rock Cabin try your hand at fly fishing, enjoy a stroll along the river's edge, or tube to your cabin from the covered bridge. Maybe take a meal in the waterside pavillion. In the evening roast S'mores in the riverside firepit, or have a soak in the large outdoor hot tub and watch the river go by. All decks are gated so and there is a FENCED YARD so of course your pooch is welcome!
Main floor offers 2 bedrooms (1 king, 1 queen) & 1 bath with shower/tub combo. Upstairs there is 1 king bedroom and 1 bath with shower/tub combo.

Great time had

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: Everything was as stated. I'm a 62-year old grandfather rising two young grand kids and I worried about having them a week by myself in the mountains, it turned out to be the best vacation I have ever had. It's so quite and peaceville. I had read concerns about the roads leading to the cabin, they were very easy to drive, even after a rain storm. you can't drive 50-miles an hour, it's a mountain road. Love seeing the deer everyday. we seen 3-bears, 69-deer and 6-wild turkey. Cabin was good everything worked as stated. Yard and the river made it a joy to come home to for a week. Lot of things to do. we got on the internet and found many more thing to see than we could in a week. will e going back.

Could use some updates in regards to linens. Wildlife is expected to spiders and their webs are abundant here.

The location is ideal - a few steps added to get into the water would have been perfect - for those of us who lack 100% balance. But, definitely not an issue.

Great cabin and pet friendly!

We loved the location of this cabin and how it was right on the river! We also greatly appreciate how they are dog friendly and don’t limit to a single 20 pound dog like most places do. We were able to bring our 3 dogs and they loved having a yard to run loose in. It was cute how they keep dog bowls and a bed available for those that might forget those essentials. The beds were all super comfortable! The roads weren’t as bad as we were expecting after some of the reviews. It is a long, skinny, windy gravel road but no 4x4 needed and we had no issues. Overall a great stay!

Pet and Kid Friendly

We loved our 10 day stay at the house. The fenced in yard for the dogs and toddler is always appreciated! The house gave us the basics we needed for the first night. We loved the wood burning fire place in the living room and the hammock by the deck and hot tub. Side note: the house can be “rustic” because it’s wood, the walls are thin. But it definitely gives it character. We can’t wait to come back in the summer to play in the river more!

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.

We had a girls trip (myself and my 4 daughters) and we brought our 4 fur babies (3 Golden Retrievers and 1 mini Aussie) The fenced-in yard was perfect for running off energy and the river was amazing. The pups enjoyed swimming. There was a hose in the fenced-in area for washing the pups before we brought them back into the cabin. Blue Ridge was close and a very dog-friendly town. We loved the hammock and hot tub. Would stay again, for sure. Owner left the sweetest handmade totes for us - so special and very appreciated.

Treacherous road and additional charges

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very unhappy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Although the cabin itself was lovely, we were required to follow a lengthy checklist of tasks as we left. Keep in mind additional fees which include cleaning were over $200! The road conditions were also treacherous! Vacationers beware! We stayed for the duration of our contract because we were in town for a wedding but another family left their cabin at Sliding Rock due to the stressful conditions of the road which included steep hills, deep ravines and sliding rocks! The drive was so stressful that we left the cabin only when absolutely necessary.
