Reviewer Comments:
This cabin was perfect for me, my husband and 2 pups. The cabin was cozy, very clean, the view and sound of the river was awesome. We all were so chill. We will be back.
We loved our 10 day stay at the house. The fenced in yard for the dogs and toddler is always appreciated!
The house gave us the basics we needed for the first night. We loved the wood burning fire place in the living room and the hammock by the deck and hot tub.
Side note: the house can be “rustic” because it’s wood, the walls are thin. But it definitely gives it character.
We can’t wait to come back in the summer to play in the river more!

This is a quaint little 3 bedroom cabin in a great spot on the river. It has a fenced yard, firepit surrounded by swings, along with a covered patio directly on river where you can have dinner or just relax in the hammock with a good book! We took our 2 labs and they were right at home! You can also enjoy a dip in the large hottub overlooking the river, only a couple of steps outside the door. The layout of the cabin is perfect and it was so clean and well organized! It has a woodburing fireplace, a grill just outside the kitchen, tv's in the living room and all 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths and a game room. We arrived to a welcome note from the owners and a tote bag as a gift. We travel a lot on short trips to the mountains, long weekends, etc. We've stayed in numerous places but this is by far the best. I didn't even bother to leave a review on the others. They were nice as well, but not like this one. It's the perfect cabin, in the perfect place, for the perfect getaway! Highly recommend!

We had a great time at River Ritz. We stayed there with our two Australian shepherds, and they had a great time running around the yard. The cabin is a great place for dogs, especially the outdoor area. While we were there, we went hiking, checked out the wineries and orchards, and visited downtown Ellijay. It was a great trip.

We had a great stay at River Ritz with our 4 large dogs (including 3 huskies). They enjoyed the fenced in yard which was secure and a decent size. It's so difficult to find vacation rentals that allow multiple large breed dogs so we felt like we hit the jackpot with Sliding Rock cabins. Even with neighbors we felt secluded and loved to sit outside listening to the river. We had a big storm come through during our stay and lost power for 2 days. We appreciated the cabin staff staying in touch with us. Cell phone service is spotty in this area so we really were able to disconnect and relax. We will be back again later this year!

Reviewer Comments:
Absolutely love this cabin! This was our 4th time staying with Sliding Rock Cabins and while we've always been extremely happy with the cabins we chose, River Ritz is our favorite! Lots of water front on the property and the outdoor deck was the ideal place to relax and watch the river flow by. All the lovely blooming flowers, shrubs and trees on the property added to the beauty of the outdoor environment. The fenced yard was perfect for our 3 small dogs! We appreciated that it allowed them to access to the outdoor deck where they could safely hang out with us; one of our pups is only 7 lbs and I never worried she would be able to squeeze through the fence or deck railings. The new swings around the firepit were a brilliant idea and we spent several chilly evenings sitting around the fire. While the cabin was smaller than some of the others we stayed in, it offered plenty of room for 4 adults and was well appointed. We found the beds and furniture to be very comfortable. The kitchen was very clean and had everything we needed for those times we cooked in. Can't wait for our next visit!

Our second stay at River Ritz. Truly pet friendly! We really enjoy the outdoor areas of this property; nicely designed with great seating areas inside the large fenced area including a nicely furnished covered deck with relaxing river views and easy river access to allow our dogs to swim. Bedrooms are comfortable. Bathrooms adequate. Kitchen is well stocked. Nice TVs and game room for indoor entertainment. Flat driveway with plenty of parking. Kind and helpful office staff who quickly respond to inquiries. Cabin needs a few minor repairs and would benefit from some modest decorating renovations, all of which we reported to management after we departed. Main road needs grading; doesn’t require AWD/4WD, but many pot holes from rain erosion.

We stayed at this cabin 2 years ago and again this year over Christmas. Minor things were lacking from previous stay. Was not as clean as it was in the past. Had to look for a dropped puzzle piece under couch. Been a while since that area was touched. Cleanliness overall was lacking a bit. 2 years ago the cabin was decorated beautifully with holiday adornments including a large tree. This year it was a small 12 inch one. Had to buy firewood this year. Had to buy toilet tissue. Just a few things that I would expect paying the rate we did for the week

We had a wonderful time at the River Ritz. Eventhough the furniture etc was a little outdated and the house is pretty dark, it feels so cozy and welcoming inside! There was music playing in the house when we arrived and we also loved the personal welcome note. Our 3 kids and our dog loved the outdoor space and gameroom. The landscaping is beautiful! The location is great! 10 minutes to Ellijay, 15 minutes to Blue Ridge, 40 minutes to Amicalola Falls. The drive to the cabin is a little scary at first, because the road to the house is very steep, but we felt comfortable driving there after the first day. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!

We completely enjoyed our time at River Ritz, very quiet and relaxing! The cabin is clean and well maintained. It is actually nicer and more comfortable than how it appears in the pictures. We especially enjoyed the covered pavilion with fans and lights. It was a nice place to sit and read (especially the day it rained) or have dinner with family. We also liked that the cabin is very close to the Ellijay River. The river was quite calm here. We tried a little fishing but didn't have much luck. The fenced yard was great for our 2 Shih Tzus. This was our 2nd time renting through Sliding Rock Cabins. They were very easy to work with and quick to respond to any questions. We will definitely rent through them again.

This was our first time visiting the mountains. We stayed for 4 nights. We chose Sliding Rocks because they are pet friendly with no pet fees or restrictions. This cabin was wonderful!

Will definitely be staying again. Already looking for dates to stay in the fall. I have already recommended to friends!

Although the cabin itself was lovely, we were required to follow a lengthy checklist of tasks as we left. Keep in mind additional fees which include cleaning were over $200! The road conditions were also treacherous! Vacationers beware! We stayed for the duration of our contract because we were in town for a wedding but another family left their cabin at Sliding Rock due to the stressful conditions of the road which included steep hills, deep ravines and sliding rocks! The drive was so stressful that we left the cabin only when absolutely necessary.

Reviewer Comments:
The cabin and location are perfect for a relaxing get away, with the dogs! The cabin had everything needed, and fenced yard which my dogs loved. There were plenty of board games, and a foos ball table that the whole family enjoyed. My son fished in the river but didn't catch anything, so I don't believe this is a good spot if you are wanting to fish. The only, very minor complaint I have is there was food in the dishwasher from prior renters. I'm assuming it is from people not rinsing off plates before putting them in the dishwasher. I texted the management company but didn't receive a response. We ended up hand washing all the dishes we used. Everything else was very clean, though! I would definitely stay here again. My kids (18 years old) and I loved tubing the river rapids, but there isn't much else to do that we found. The area is good for wineries, though.
