About this property

River's Reach! rustic, hot tub, king bd, fenced yard-pet friendly. ADULT ONLY

What better place to relax, maybe fish for trout of the deck, tube down the river, soak in the covered hot tub (no raindrops in your wine!) Roast s'mores over the waterside firepit, then later snuggle up and enjoy a movie by the woodburning fireplace. As one of Sliding Rock Cabins' romantic 1 bedroom properties River's Reach offers a perfect getaway for two. Woodburning fireplace, Propane grill, firepit, Wireless DSL, flatscreen TV's in living room and bedroom. PLEASE NOTE CANCELLATION POLICY BELOW.

Peaceful Retreat

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 ambiance was all that I hoped for: peaceful and restful. The deck right next to the river was the perfect place to read, listen to the water, and sip on a cup of coffee. My second favorite place was the bedroom with a huge tv and a separate sunroom with a great view of the water and a separate door opening onto the deck right next to the hot tub. The size is great for one or two people, and my dogs and I enjoyed our stay immensely. The cabin is pet friendly with bowls and towels for the fur baby and a fenced yard off the deck--great for letting the three of my fur babies out all at once. (I walk them separately on a leash.) Communication with the rental management was great. I left for home rested and with good memories.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Me and my wife along with our 2 pups had a great relaxing time. Everything was as described and the cabin is very well maintained(would maybe recommend replacing the sofa in the near future). Only slight issue was the road was pretty rough getting to the cabin but that was expected. Overall we all had a great time and can’t wait to come back soon.

River Reach

Everything was great, communication was great. We enjoyed your short stay. Biggest highlight was bringing my pup! Thank you for that. Other renters / neighbors were super nice. Side note: the pest control showed up as I was checking out - not on anyone but was a little confused and user error it took me awhile to find the trash bin - on me! All in all I cannot wait to come back.

Peaceful and cozy

This rental is lovely. Its rustic vibe is very charming. It was very clean! The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. Furniture was very comfortable. The gas grill is a very good quality one, worked great and fast for most of our meals. The fenced yard is always appreciated so the furry family members can enjoy freely and be safe. The front creek view, the creek sounds…. Is what we’ll miss the most. We were sad to leave but will definitely be staying with sliding rock properties again! Communication with host was very seamless. Thank you for such a lovely stay!

River Sounds to sleep by

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Enjoyed our time at River's Reach-the cabin was comfortable and cozy and the river's soothing sounds were great to sleep by.The small office directly overlooking the river was well set up and terrific.The only recommendation is to have the toilet seat changed and updated and to also start the process to have the dock repaired as it was damaged and we couldn't access the riverfront.The next door neighbor had just begun their dock repair process while we were there.The road isn't paved and while it wasn't terrible to get to the cabin-there were a lot of areas where the potholes were rather large.

Dog-friendly, riverside cabin

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Nothing pretentious about this cozy cabin. Our dog enjoyed the fenced yard, and we loved being right on the river. We saw deer almost everyday! We were comfortable, but several items on the property, like the hot tub and living room furniture, are well-worn. The outside fire pit was in poor shape; plus, there was no swing nearby, like pictured. The rather long, non-paved road to get to the cabin was dicey at times. Some drivers might be uncomfortable navigating it, but we had no issues. I suspect those who want to venture out everyday, like for sight-seeing or meals, would not choose a place so deep in the woods. We were quite content at this cabin, and have no problem recommending it, but would likely pick a different cabin in the future.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Nice one bedroom cabin right on the Ellijay River. The drive in is not for the faint of heart. Narrow dirt road with some blind areas. Peaceful place to spend some time. The rental company did a good job with providing ample information prior to our arrival. Dog friendly with no extra fees.
