    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: I'll admit, when we were driving up, I was very hesitant. It was definitely more rustic and out of the way than I expected, but being right on the river was a saving grace. The house had everything we needed and we definitely utilized the hot tub and fire pit/place every night. I wish we'd brought our dog, he would have loved it! It's kind of remote so we would eat out for lunch and try to cook or eat leftovers for dinner since there's nothing close to the cabin and we didn't want to drive down the roads in the dark.

    We absolutely loved her this cabin. It was everything we were looking for. On the water, near town but out of the way. Definitely hope to stay here again

    This property was VERY pet friendly! The scenery was picturesque and the sound of the stream outside was hypnotic. My only complaint is that we didn’t stay long enough. Highly recommend this cabin to others and would love to come back again soon.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We really enjoyed our stay, the house was a good size for us and our 3 dogs. It was clean and really had all we needed for our stay. I really loved the fact that our dogs could sit outside with us by the creek. There is plenty of outdoor space to play ball with the dogs and just let them enjoy a walk in the creek.I was concerned when I saw people had commented there was a road on the other side of the creek but really didn't see many cars go by and it did not interfere with our enjoyment of the atmosphere. We did hike the Benton Mackaye trail that is right near the cabin and one other that was only 12 minutes away. Our dogs have good recall so we didn't use the fenced area much but it is sufficient if you need it. The beds were really comfortable and the bathrooms were nice. All and all had a great time and grateful for being able to rent this cabin with our dogs.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We thouroughly enjoyed our time at the Riverhouse Retreat. It was centrally located and had a beautiful view and was so peaceful. Our furbabies LOVED this cabin. The only thing missing was a dishwasher which would've been more of an issue if we were staying longer.

    The staff if very attempt but still had a broken toilet that they said it will take an entire day or so to fix to what I said not to. I did not want to share my off-society time with an estranger on a very small cabin for a day or two working on the toilet. We also lost internet and phone for an entire day on top that there is not cellphone signal at the cabin, and I found very discouraging the fact that they did not offer any type of compensation for none of these two incidents that cause a lot of discomfort on my stay. Especially the broken toilet on the main floor having to use the secund floor toilet for my six days stay at the place. Bright side the cabin was clean the view was great and the neighborhood perfect for walking my dogs. I would say this is a great place for a summer vacation because the river was tentative and beautiful. We saw some big fish coming up the current.

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I'll start with the positive things. Secluded on the water. Gps took us right to it. Plenty of outdoor lighting. Comfortable bed and love the fenced yard. The reasons I won't rent this cabin again are: unbelievably bad furniture. The couch is the worst I've ever sat on! Infact I couldn't. I opted for a rocking chair from the porch.The kitchen is not for cooking. The pans are shot and the oven only has one oven rack. No cookie sheets and utensils are sad. If you don't cook it won't bother you. The cabin is tired as well as the decor. This is my 7th cabin rental, my 5th with SRC.

    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: Perfect for us (2 adults & 1 large dog). The cabin & property were accurately described; clean & well-maintained, including the outside area. We loved the location. Very quiet & secluded with beautiful, wooded views yet only 20-25 minutes from Blue Ridge and Ellijay. Our active dog loved exploring the large creek for hours. And the sounds of the creek were relaxing even inside the cabin. We loved having access to the hot tub & used it daily! Our favorite activity away from the cabin was riding the rail bikes in Blue Ridge. This is our 1st stay at this cabin but our 2nd times renting with Sliding Rock Cabins. We are grateful that they are so dog friendly. This is definitely our go-to cabin rental place from now on when we visit the area, usually once per year.
