This was our dogs vacation, we were just the people he invited. Seriously, travel with our furry family member was never more enjoyable or easy. Sliding Rock Cabins are amazing and this property could not have been more perfect. Our pup and typically phone attached children were in the creek within 5 minutes of arrival. The rocking chairs on the main porch were perfect for morning coffee with the grandparents. This house was perfect for our family of 8. If you are looking for an amazingly private sanctuary that is also a stones throw from everything you need this home is your place. And if you have a pup....I wouldn't want to rent from anyone else then Sliding Rock! We are so grateful for our time in this beautiful spot.
From the balcony, the views of the expansive creek can only be described as incredible. Walking down the well crafted path toward the creek, on your way to an expansive fire pit, your eyes bring you views that are hard to describe. Sitting around the fire pit, at waters edge, the sound of the rushing water is mesmerizing. Tired of the rat race, want an escape, this is the place.
The cabin was as pictured, the river behind cabin is closer than appears in pictures which was fabulous because it was amazing. We went to all the falls and hot spots, now we are ready to just stay in the cabin and enjoy the river! The drive in movie was great, all of the falls were stunning, shopping was nice, Cheteau Meichtry winery ground and service was amazing! I also recommend Grace restaurant for really nice dining. Only complaint is I can’t get back there fast enough! xoxo
This property was exactly as advertised and very well appointed, down to the dog treats! We had a lovely weekend and weren't even inconvenienced by a power outage, thanks to the generator on property.
Peaceful,relaxing,adventurous. There is so much to do in the area. Shopping, eating and hiking opportunities.
