If you are seeking a quiet, private retreat with an awesome panoramic view of distant mountain peaks, then Sounds of Silence should be considered. The cabin was clean, very comfortable and well-stocked. Our pups were able to access a fenced in yard by the use of a pet dood and series of gates that that could be opened and allowing them to move about securely. My wife and I have vacationed once or twice a year using Sliding Rock Cabins as a source of access to many quality cabins in the greater Ellijay-Blue Ridge area, and this is one of their best mountain top cabins. Too, their customer service is A+. We have already booked a return later this year, which should say it all.
Booked this cabin for a weekend girls getaway and we could not have been happier. The cabin is perfectly situated, beautifully appointed, and the fact that my dog could join in the fun made it a perfect weekend. Ellijay is such a lovely setting and I (and my dog) will most definitely be back!
My wife and I, and our two insanely spoiled dogs, just completed a weeklong stay at Sounds of Silence. To say it was enjoyable would be an understatement. Awesome is more the operative word that comes to mind in so many ways. We had a very peaceful and relaxing week in this well-appointed cabin for which we are grateful. In fact, earlier this year, we had made October reservations at another property and once being here a few days changed the reservation to Sounds of Silence. We have used Sliding Rock Cabins as a rental company for 12 plus years having found them to be one we would want as our agent had we rental property in āthe mountains.ā We look forward to being back in October.
I thoroughly enjoyed my few days, as did my three dogs. The cabin was clean and very inviting, and I loved the kitchen nook overlooking the river as well as the porch, both of where I spent time enjoying the scenery. The drive from White Path Road was almost a straight shot; I had no trouble finding it. I am thankful for the time there and plan on returning!
We have stayed with Sliding Rock many times but I would say this is one of our favorite cabins... locatedĀ the same distance to Ellijay or Blue Ridge.. Paved roads were a plus for sure since we brought the car up.. Saw several deer almost everyday!! Cabin was perfect for one or two couples... it was just us but plenty of room for another couple!!
We had a wonderful trip and truly enjoyed the area. It was exactly the kind of getaway I was hoping for: peaceful, quiet, and a chance to do absolutely nothing. We disconnected from our devices and just enjoyed being surrounded by nature.
The cabin was very clean, the Wi-Fi worked well when needed, and the on-site washer and dryer were very convenient. It was also pet-friendly, which made the stay even better for us. Overall, we were very impressed and would definitely recommend it.
The Cabin was very nice and a peaceful place. We had a great time.
My only suggestion would be to install taller toilets. The toilets are very low to the ground and hard to get up for older people.
The drive to the cabin was great. We saw plenty of wildlife driving to the cabin. The cabin was clean and more than we expected.
We have been booking through Sliding Rock for years now and have always had a good experience. This was our first time at Song of the South and we loved the little creek and the remote location. The fenced area for the dogs isn't as large as some of the other cabins, so if you need a huge fenced area try a different cabin, but the fire pit by the creek is great! The power went out Saturday and I had to call the after hours number for the first time and they answered and kept me updated. We will be definitely continue to book with Sliding Rock Cabins!
This was one of the most relaxing vacations ever. The sound of the rapids removed all the stress, better than a massage. The only reason the location did not get a 5 is the fact there is a cabin right next door and the privacy fence only goes so far and there is very limited privacy when you are in the fenced yard.
This cabin was amazing. It had everything needed to make our stay enjoyable. I loved the fenced in areas for the pups and that the screened in porch could be locked so they could sit on the porch with us. The cabin was nice and inviting we did not want to leave. The welcome gift was very thoughtful. I would give our stay 10/10 stars! Definitely recommend and we will definitely be back.
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.
Good river view. The river is deep enough to swim in if you can brave the steep bank and submerged boulders. A relatively secluded cabin; no one was in the three other cabins on the short road. We took many walks on the roads without seeing anyone except deer and geese. The pillows upstairs were too thick so bring your own unless your neck is as long as a giraffe's. Drive in is fine except the last 100 yards, which is steep and starting to wash away. Very comfortable cabin, no other complaints.
We had such a great time at this cabin, it was beautiful! This was our second time with sliding rock cabins and there will be many more!
Perfect getaway. So serene listening to the rushing water. House was clean and cozy.
Sounds of Silence Cabin provided an excellent experience of the peace and solitude we were looking for in such a busy time of our lives. Whether it was rainy or sunny there was plenty to do. The cabin was clean, the games were fun and the tub was in excellent order. We would highly recommend this getaway place.
The cabin's location is absolutely amazing!!! Right on the creek. You can sleep to the sound of the water at night. Great size for a couple to spend a weekend. We felt so away from everything and everyone. There is a fenced area for the pups but it is on a very steep incline. Only issue we had was our littlest dog getting out from under the gate. We will absolutely be visiting this spot again!
We were very pleased with the cabin. Wish the fenced area had some grass.
We are about to leave this wonderful cabin after a 10 day stay. We absolutely love it and have just booked our next stay for September. We enjoyed our stay last year but it had 2 stories and we are all getting older so staying at this cabin on a single level is much easier on the bones. The deer walk up in the back yard and just stare at us like they are trained pets and not wild animals. Nice to see them comfortable with strangers.
We loved our stay for 2 weeks last October/November. We re-booked for this year as soon as we were able. The Cabin is just Adorable and the Dogs absolutely loved the enclosed yard to run around in. Everything you need is there and they truly thought of everything. Bonus, 2 deer visited the yard every morning and at dusk, we even had a flock of Turkeys stroll down the road! Our new "go to" vacation spot.
This cabin was so much fun and relaxing. It really does have everything you need except for food and your clothes. We saw deer every day. Our 4 dogs loved seeing the wildlife. The Sliding Rocks company was so easy to work with very attentive to our needs. Loved this cabin!
Great getaway just a couple hours from Atlanta. Love how dog friendly the cabin was, from small touches like food and water bowls to multiple fenced in areas to keep them safe.
The cabin was exactly as described and perfect for our stay with our two dogs. Easy to find, lovely and cosy with enough facilities nearby. Nice to find a truly dog friendly cabin.
Cozy Bear cabin was really easy to get in and out of. All 3 of us enjoyed the multiple people daily visits from the deer population, they would walk up and look at us like they wanted to know about us. The cabin was very clean and inviting. It felt like a home without the expense of ownership. We enjoyed it so much that before we left we had already booked our next stay in September. Both dogs absolutely loved the location as well since it was nearly at the end of the road, there were only a couple vehicles that passed by the whole time. We definitely will be returning more than just the next scheduled visit.
This cabin was on a beautiful stretch of the Ellijay river. We loved just relaxing on the porch, listening to the sounds of the river and abundant wildlife. The cabin had very easy access to the river making it a breeze for our puppy to romp around in the water. The fenced in yard off the side porch was great for puppy playtime, too! The cabin was clean and comfortable for my family with a beautiful fire pit area. We got to see deer every single day during our stay as they visited the side yard for their breakfast and dinner. This is our second stay with Sliding Rock Cabins, and we loved it just as much as the first time!
Very satisfied with our stay, house was clean and comfortable. The area was very peaceful with lots of deer.
The place was set up quite well and the outdoor patio and hot tub are great. The living area is tight but was fine for our two people and dog. Nice touches for the dog and the coffee beans. Was able to program into map apps and drive to the cabin, but their directions and warnings were helpful. Plenty of fun towns and hiking in the area. Nice stretch of river, but no fish.
Song of the South was so much more than we expected! It had been on our list for some time and we're soooo glad we finally picked it! Inside and out, this cabin was all we wanted and more! We were hoping to see the beauties of nature and the cabin did not disappoint. The creel was teaming with crawdads. In the mornings and evenings, deer would cross on a path directly across the creek from the upper floor. Also in the evenings, a massive blue heron would stop by to do a little fishing. Speaking of fishing, some decent size trout would come to feed around 7:00pm or so. I was unsuccessful at catching any but it was fun trying. Birds were everywhere, bunnies played in the driveway, and even a friendly black snake came by for a visit. Staying at the cabin was like being in a nature documentary. If nature is your thing, you will LOVE it! It's definitely on our list for a return visit!
Great location, very peaceful, right on the river which is great, beautiful river with perfect shoals.
We'll be back!
If you're looking for a great getaway look no more, its relaxing and beauty is lovely. So peaceful and quiet just what we were looking for. Great trip!!!
My husband and I had a wonderful time. This cabin sits right on the Ellijay River. It is easy access to the river. The cabin was perfect. We already are discussing coming back nect year. We love Sliding Rock Cabins.
Best Cabin we have ever rented!!
It was a beautiful stay in the cabin. Very peaceful and plenty of deer to see entering the community.
We have stayed in this cabin 4 times. Love the quiet location, easy drive (down paved roads) to both Ellijay and Blue Ridge. Also to Mercier Orchards and R&A Orchards. 2 of our favorites. Cabin is pretty and also so clean. Great porch to sit and watch and listen to nature. Enjoyed just walking around the "neighborhood".
Loved the location and well appointed cabin. Everything we needed was included and we appreciated the written instructions and labeling on light switches, etc. One minor suggestion would be to update the coffee pot.
Very relaxing. The cabin was super clean and well maintained. All the little extras, like water/food bowls, treats, blankets and beds were a great touch.
This was one of our best cabin trips yet! This cabin is about 25 minutes from town, and thatās exactly what we needed this weekend! We were lucky to see a momma bear & 2 cubs on the property, watched from the back deck while the babies climbed a tree! We found a few really unique places near the cabin - a winery w/ amazing views, a mushroom house & a sheep farm! The cabin has everything you need to bring your pup, including a big basket of toys. We will definitely stay at this cabin again.
Beautiful, immaculate cabin along a babbling stream. Very well-appointed including fluffy designer robes for the secluded hot tub. Had one day of anticipated rain which sounded wonderful on the roof. Did wish the fireplace was still active in May as the rain made it a bit 'raw' inside. HIGHLY recommend this cabin, perhaps our favorite of all time. Be prepared, you have a bit of a drive to reach it. Can't wait to return!
This was our second stay at Creekside Manner and it was just as wonderful as the first. The cabin is isolated enough to be private, but easily accessible. The cabin is super well equipped and extremely comfortable. The running creek is calming to the spirit. Highly recommended for a couple or up to 4 people...and our dog loves it there!!
We loved Waterās Edge. It is a very well kept rental with all the necessities and a heck of a view.
Wonderfull long weekend. Everything was perfect. We will 100% be back.
We had a wonderful stay at the Chicken Coop cabin and would absolutely come back. The screened porch was one of our favorite featuresāsuch a relaxing place to enjoy the mountain air without worrying about bugs. The fenced yard was perfect for our dogs, giving them plenty of room to roam safely, which made the trip so much easier and more enjoyable for everyone.
Inside, the cabin was spacious, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The kitchen was especially well stocked, making it easy to cook meals and feel right at home. And the hot tub was the perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring. Overall, a cozy, thoughtfully equipped cabin that made for a fantastic getaway.
This was our second stay here. We love this little cabin. It's a great place to get away. Has everything you would need for a weekend stay. They are continuing to update the cabin with new furnishings (new couch and chairs, etc.), which is great! The only issue still is the grill outside needs to be replaced.
Our stay was great, really enjoyed the cabin with the Hot tub & fire pit outdoor area. I have used Sliding Rock for 20 years & each time has been wonderful.. Thanks.
This was our 4th stay at RHR and we absolutely love it and plan to return again. The location is great! The staff at Sliding Rock are womderful and always helpful.
Our family really enjoyed our stay. The dogs loved the yard and all of the new smells! Comfy beds, plenty of room to spread out, We don't usually return after our first stay but this one is a winner!
We had a great stay with my 3 grown kids & 3 granddogs! Plenty of room, loved the pool table & games. Water was great - easy access, loved being at the end of the road! They are clearing 2 lots across the river while we were there, so wonāt be quite as private, but shouldnāt make much difference on our side. Roads a little rough to get there, but if you go slow & watch for oncoming vehicles. Donāt need 4 wheel drive though. We will be back next year!
Very Satisfying
My mom & enjoyed our time at Canopy Cottage.
I'll start with the Pro's š
Cabin is easily accessed, no scary mountain roads. Cabin has a circular driveway, great for getting in an out. There is also a covered parking area.
Cabin is beautiful, just as it is pictured. Kitchen is well equipped with everything you will need for your stay; including crock pot and blender! They have a standard coffee maker as well as a Keurig. Sink took some getting used to, it is a touch start. The grills worked great! Although we didn't find the grill utensils until our last day of the trip- for anyone who reads this, they are located in a black case in a drawer of the coffee bar. Each room has it's own ensuite, so every room is a master. Beds were incredibly comfortable! 10/10
Showers were great, bathrooms were spacious. Every room has a TV with streaming capabilities. Hot tub was very clean and worked well! Outside deck is great for visiting and relaxing.
CONS: & this will be a niche con bc we have dachshunds. 2 of which are seniors & one has had back issues & has lost partial mobility of her back legs. There are stairs you have to go up or down to get to the yard and to the front door. The fenced in yard was not great for our dogs bc you have to go down some steps to get to it & then many more to get to the actual yard itself. I would not recommend this cabin if you have dachshunds or any dogs that struggle with stairs.
Also, the neighboring cabin is very close. you look down on it from the driveway & kitchen & part of the deck. We were lucky in that that cabin was vacant for our whole trip. But had a family been staying there it would be far less private.
All in all we had a great time and enjoyed this cabin.
Beautiful property perfect for a Spring getaway.
