Stayed Dec 27, 2025Rating 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 had a fabulous stay at Riverside Retreat. This area is one of our favorites in Ellijay. The cabin had everything we needed and we were able to relax. Our only suggestion would be to make the fenced yard a little more secure and a little bigger. We had no issues but the neighboring rental had dogs running loose and had ours been out at the same time, they would have been able to push the fence over. Other than that, we are completely satisfied with the property and will be putting on our list for future rentals.

Stayed Aug 3, 2025Check in was easy having a lock box with the key and a code text prior to arrival. Kitchen was fully stocked for us to cook or grill there with ease. I much appreciate the deck which made getting waterside with a wheelchair very easy. It’s quiet, with easy access into the Ellijay river from the back yard. The cabin, although small, was well furnished and comfortable. Lots of wild life. All enjoyed the stay even our two pups.

Stayed Jun 12, 2025Rating 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: 3rd year in a row I have rented with Sliding Rock cabins. Each year, we have tried a new spot, but I think this will be a place to return to!! The cabin is big enough (4 adults, 3 dogs) to not be on top of each other, while also being cozy. The outside space is impressive! The boardwalk to the patio over the water is very well maintained and safe (unless you have a blind dog who tried to fall off the walkway!). Riverside Retreat had all the amenities needed, the grill was super convenient to the kitchen (though the grill grates could stand a replacement). Well stocked kitchen. Do note that the upstairs king master is not private- it is in a loft space. Only minor issue to us was that there was only 1 single 2 person hard wood bench in the covered porch. Fortunately, we traveled with some camp chairs, so we set that up on the enclosed deck to hang out outside during the rain. Relaxing, wonderful long weekend! Thanks!

Stayed Dec 28, 2024Rating 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: There should be less furniture in the living room, also the dining table is too big and the space is small, the dining table should be changed. I think that would help with the space in the room. In general, everything else is ok.

Reviewer Comments: We had an excellent time at the Riverside Retreat!The cabin was beautiful inside and our whole family enjoyed the outside! Our grandson caught his first fish and the dogs loved walking onthe deck and going down to the dog park.We drove into Ellijay on Friday and Blue Ridge on Sunday. We rode the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway. On our way back in on Sunday, the deer were so beautiful to see. We hope to return at some point!

I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The cabin is located on a cobble road with a handful of other rentals from the Sliding Rock company. The drive up to the cabin we all considered a ‘nightmare’ as the road is narrow, windy and definitely not smooth. We changed all our plans from the get go so we only needed to leave in the morning and once we got back to the cabin, we stayed there. The pros are that you may come across several deer and bunnies on the drive to and from the cabin. Don’t expect to play in the creek behind, it’s too steep and slippery to get down. There is a quaint little fenced off area for dogs but we didn’t use it and instead chose to walk the dogs up and down the cobble road. There are bears in the area, so make sure your dogs are leashed and let out during daylight hours!! The cabin itself was wonderful. They provided enough for the first few days. There are plenty of board games in the cupboard too, luckily the weather was great during our stay so we didn’t have any days indoors that left us time to play them. The hot tub was appreciated on the days we took arduous hikes. The water pressure and heat in the bathrooms were fantastic. We did see an army of sugar ants on the kitchen counter but I think that’s pretty standard for all cabins in the woods ?!?! The rest of the cabin was clean and comfortable and we had a wonderful vacation.

I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The cabin was very nice. You need to know that the bedroom upstairs is a loft bedroom. We didn’t realize this. Also, the roads for the last mile or so are very rough. They’re very narrow, extremely bumpy and very windy.

Reviewer Comments: My family and I had such a great time, The cabin was as described, clean, comfortable and we loved the location. We fished, played in the river, rafted down the river, used the hot tub. I cooked some meals and enjoyed our stay very much. We needed to reach out to the rental company a couple of times and they were quickly responsive. They are my favorite rental company. We spent some time on Lake Blue Ridge, the kids enjoyed eating at Papa's Pizza Buffet, and Okinawa was very good. I highly recommend staying in this cabin with Sliding Rock Cabins.
