The cabin was immaculate and well-equipped for both humans and dogs. The dogs had treats waiting for them along with a doggy bed, blanket, kennel and water/food dishes. We all loved the fenced yard, which was directly off the front door, for easy morning outings. Our daily hot tub soaks under the tree canopy and sitting on the porch listening to the birds was relaxing. The cabin is secluded and we enjoyed walks along the dirt roads to the path along Amy Creek. We had never been to the area and were looking forward to exploring both Ellijay and Blue Ridge. We arrived on a rainy day and the roughly 3 1/2 mile drive, on steep dirt roads to the cabin was bumpy with deep washout holes which were difficult to see in the rain. We adjusted our itinerary to have limited trips up and down the mountain. Our quiet days at the cabin were wonderful as the cabin has everything you need and with nature all around, the dogs enjoyed their extra walks. We visited four breweries, opting to share sampler flights and bring a crowler of our favorite back to the cabin. Grumpy Old Men brewery in Blue Ridge was our favorite, being a bit more upscale and having a bigger range of beers to sample. Cartecay River Brewing has old school video games to play for free including Nintendo Mario Kart which was an enjoyable trip back in time. Cartecay Bike and Brewery has a bike trail behind the shop (we wish we had brought our bikes). The blackberry wheat was my favorite. Both cities have plenty of shops and dining options and the cabin is mid-way between the two. Sliding Rock management was very prompt and helpful when we couldnāt figure out how to find local stations on the TV.
It was a relaxing, enjoyable trip and would have been perfect if we wanted to just stay at the cabin. Be aware, the beds are extremely high. Iām 5ā3ā and did not feel comfortable getting on/off the bed. Iām also 60 so maybe this wouldnāt even be a concern with a younger person. Th
We will definitely will stay here again. So peaceful and relaxing! We love that itās pet friendly too! What a great time spent with family from out of state.
Nice cabin great views. The cabin had everything we needed. The road to the cabin needed some maintenance, but other than that would definitely recommend.
We stayed with another couple and there was room to have privacy for each family. Enjoyed the GORGOUS VIEW off the back deck. Had all supplies we needed. Our two dogs felt right at home and were able to use the fenced yard. Only recommendation is to be sure you bring a vehicle that can climb steep hills, as this is at the very top of the mountain! We were in a four-wheel-drive, so we did OK. Just be aware.
Clean cabin, beautiful view, nice quiet area (there are neighbors but everyone respected the peaceful environment!). Very dog friendly! Well stocked kitchen and comfortable beds and furniture. Would definitely book here again for another quiet weekend away.
My wife and I got engaged here a year ago and came back this year to enjoy the serene atmosphere of the property. We love it. The only things we noticed this year are
1. The water coming out of the shower and maybe the sink smells like sulfur. Maybe a new filtration checkup is needed.
2. The deck is starting to peel badly. Might be time for a pressure wash and re-stain.
3. That couch in the sunroom is a fabric that can get and feel a little dirty and damp. Might look at a different type of couch out there.
4. A lot of the glass wear and plastic cups are cracked. Worth $50 to swap those out.
But seriously love the property and the house and we will be coming back annually.
I love Sliding Rock Cabins and have been coming back for years to enjoy relaxing getaways on the mountain driving distance from Florida.
We really enjoyed our stay at the cabin , the dogs loved it as well. Very relaxing and peaceful
This is my favorite cabin! To wake up to this amazing view is just breathe taking. The cabin has everything we could want. The owner has thought of everything. We will be back...this is our favorite!
We had a wonderful time at Take me to the River. We loved the cozy cabin with all the amenities. They even had things for our 2 dogs! Dog bed, pet sheets, dog towel, poop bags and TREATS. All of us loved this cabin. You could sit on the screened in porch and watch or the river or go fishing. Nice area, nice cabin! We will be back soon.
