Pets Heaven

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!

Definitely an adventure

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very unhappy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is not a property to rent if you don't want pounded getting there. Would be a lot better if the toilet was at handicap height and handrails were on the steps coming in for handicap people. Otherwise, a nice, peaceful rental. Horrible roads to get there, however.

Fantastic dog friendly cabin

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: Laurel Overlook was a lovely peaceful cabin for us and our three pups. Our pups loved the dog toys, the treats, and the fenced in yard. The cabin was appointed beautifully. It was very clean and comfortable. We all felt at home. The back porch was where we spent most of our time beautiful view of the mountain trees. We could not use the screened in upstairs porch because the dogs do not do multiple steps, so bug spray was a must for me! Although we didn’t use the hot tub area, it was very inviting. The road getting up to the cabin was a bit difficult but we made it without incident. Loved the seclusion! We will definitely be back.

So peaceful!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our cabin was great! The sound of the creek was the best! The dogs loved it! The cabin was well stocked with all the kitchen things you need! One of our dogs loved all the toys! The others are older and don’t play much anymore, so they just enjoyed napping and taking walks. The front step was a bit hard for our older 2 dogs, but we found a couple 4x4’s and made another lower first step and all was good. The people beds are VERY high, we had to use the steps to get it, which might be the only “issue” with the cabin. Great place and LOVE the fact we could bring our large dogs (77-90 lbs). U

THE PERFECT CABIN AND SO PRIVATE!

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: Laurel Overlook is such a great cabin! As soon as we walked in, my husband, our pups and I felt right at home. The furnishings, decorations and property were amazing. I have to say, this is the cleanest cabin we have stayed in to date and so comfy. We love that we had no traffic passing the cabin and that we were able to hike down to the stream below. We brought our dog crate, dog beds, bowls, etc. but ended up not needing the crate as there was one waiting for us. There was also a dog bed, toys, blanket and treats. The kitchen was nicely stocked with nice pots, pans, dishes, coffee maker, etc. We went into town several times to explore the Antiques stores, local restaurants and businesses. This is not our first time staying with Sliding Rock Cabins and we have always been very pleased with the cabins and the staff. Thank you for always being top notch! Bobby and Wanda-North Port, FL

Amazing Getaway

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: The cabin was extremely clean and very inviting. The living room furniture is comfortable for watching tv and napping. The kitchen is awesome! Stocked better than my own kitchen at home!! All you need to bring is your food/beverages. The bed was comfortable and provided restful sleep. The bed is high but steps are provided. The hot tub was fantastic after a day of golfing or just exploring the nearby towns. Our favorite spot was the back porch. We had our meals at the high top overlooking the trees. Each morning we enjoyed listening to the multiple birds that were beautifully singing. In the evenings, the rocking chairs were our reading chairs. The staff had made preparations for our pups however they decided to stay home with our son. They would have loved it here. A nice worry free fenced area is provided for your fur babies. The area is very secluded which we appreciated. Very peaceful!! We will definitely book again when in the area. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Peaceful and Refreshing

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: 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!

Secluded Dog Heaven Getaway

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: 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 couldn’t 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. I’m 5’3” and did not feel comfortable getting on/off the bed. I’m also 60 so maybe this wouldn’t even be a concern with a younger person. Th

Perfectly Peaceful LOL!

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: 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!

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.
