Laurel Overlook

My wife and I spent our 16th anniversary at the cabin. What a wonderful stay and experience of the area. Loved waking up to the sounds of the mountain and creek below. We were able to enjoy the downtown Ellijay, Amicalola State park as well as a drive over to Dahlonega. The cabin was very clean and comfortable to relax in.

I'm a little late with the review, but hey it's better late than never for such wonderful cabin. We stayed at the cabin late March. This cabin is made for pet lovers. The fenced yard creates a no stress staying for pet owners. I was pleasantly surprise with all the amenities for pets. The pet bed, toys, blanket, treats, enclosure and gate are provided. It was peaceful, secluded and clean. The enclosed back porch with a mini built in table overlooking a small stream is a plus. We had dinner on the porch every night. We hiked down one day and enjoyed collecting rocks from the stream. Overall it was an amazing stay. We will definitely be back!

This cabin was perfect for my daughter and me. 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths. One upstairs and one downstairs. the upstairs bedroom has a screened porch too. The bacalony at main level runs full length of the cabin. Beautiful cathedral ceiling. Knotted pine ceiling walls and flooring. Kitchen well equipped with the conveniences of home. Loved the fenced front yard. This was great for our 3 dogs , one lab mix and two toy dogs. The road up to the cabin is dicey at night. We came in after sunset and it was a bit scary. Narrow gravel roads indicative of mountain roads,some steep and drop offs on the sides. You go at a slow pace for sure due to the pot holes ang bumps in the gravel roads. Get your groceries BEFORE you go there. You will not want to 'run' to the store for a butter stick or milk. We took two different days for excursions to Blue Ridge and East Ellijay walking trails. Mainly we stayed put and enjoyed the peace, quiet and songs of the night. We had the windows open, it was just right for us even though it got up to the 90's in the lower leveled towns. Hot Tub is a must do at night. The beds were some of the BEST Sleeping beds I have slept on. I travel and sometimes the beds are not so good. But these mattresses were super comfy, but very supportive. We loved our stay. We will come back for sure.Beautiful area!

Our trip went just as planned! We visited this time to escape the sounds of fireworks since two of our dogs are extremely afraid and one of us is a retired veteran! We enjoyed our trip as much as we did the last time! We appreciate someone that loves dogs as much as we do!

My BFF and I have used Sliding Rock the last 2 years for rentals because they are mostly dog friendly cabins without extra fees! This cabin - Laurel Overlook (LOL!) was just amazing! The peacefulness, the serenity. Everything you need is provided - including 1 dog bed, dog toys, treats, and the fenced in yard is pretty big! TV and streaming all worked, which was good because as the agency says, cell service is extremely spotty! A few things to note - you really need AWD or 4 Wheel to get here- if it had rained, sedans without AWD prob wouldn't have. Tree Canopy is super thick, so not a lot of sunlight comes in and its so high you can barely see the forest floor. Great for seclusion, and peace. And as other renters state- beds are super high - definitely needed the stairs to get into and out of bed! LOL! Sliding Rock is attentive and very helpful from Reservation to directions. Hot tub was a little older (could see rust stains on the jets) and it was very chemical smell afterward on skin and bathing suit, but hot and nice! About 20 minutes to Blue Ridge, and plenty of grocery etc. on way 515 before arriving. Loved this cabin! Thanks Sliding Rock!
