Needed a Break

This cabin was fantastic. The check in process was easy. The location is perfect for solitude yet not to far from everything you need or want to do. We brought our two dogs and the cabin was perfect for them. It has a small fenced in area so they can be outside as much as they like would definitely stay here again

Fantastic views!

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: We enjoyed the cabin and views. Comfortable cabin inside. We would have liked a dining table outside, and more comfortable (lounging type) outside on the main level, and a puzzle table (we ended up using the ping pong table, not ideal). However, kitchen well stocked, grill was great, views fantastic. Sometimes neighbors (cabin rentals) were a bit too loud and annoying, so retreated inside. Close proximity to many trails, waterfalls, and small towns. The fenced in yard was great for our pups, just pretty steep for our older dog, but a great amenity. Plenty of wildlife to see, even a black bear! Road up to the cabin was pretty bumpy and some areas pretty steep. Need AWD/4WD, or very experience FWD driver. We don't mind the bumpy roads, but others might.

Really nice and the views are just stellar

Its not every day that when you are looking to rent a cabin that the actual pictures show the ACTUAL views you get, but Heavenly View Lodge and the way it was depicted was 100% perfect. Super clean and the management company really thought though ALL the things one would need to make your stay truly complete...I have never seen such attention to detail for coffee (for example) in any cabin stay I have stayed in. They have everything. And yes, the road to the cabin is gravel and we had a 4x4, but I also followed mid-sized cars to and from the cabin and they did not have any issues...it is all fairly level and smooth (just with some small ruts at the beginning of the road). Highly recommended.

Exceptional!

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 was not our first time to book Heavenly View (formerly Wildcat Watch). We return for good reason. First, the cabin is well-managed and the staff easy to communicate with. It is always clean and stocked with the items one would expect. The cabin itself is very comfortable, and it possesses one of the best views in the area. The covered porch is the crowning touch for us and our dogs. Life doesn't get any better than sitting on the porch with a cup of coffee watching the mountain sunrise.

The best view off any of the three decks! We enjoyed cooking and just relaxing at the cabin all weekend! A short drive to both Ellijay and Blue Ridge. We hope to come back again!

Wonderful Stay! Amazing Views!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our third stay with Sliding Rock Cabins and it was another amazing stay! The cabin was fantastic, well-appointed, clean, and had amazing views! The dog yard is a little tough for our older dogs to access from the main floor but we were able to access it from the lower floor so it wasn't an issue at all. Looking forward to our next stay with Sliding Rock Cabins!

We thoroughly enjoyed the view from Wild Cat Watch. We were very comfortable in the cabin and it had everthing we needed. The road up is definitely steep, but we were told about that ahead of time and had no problems. We're looking forward to another visit to WCW.

Very Remote

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very unhappy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The cabin itself is wonderful, with an expansive view. Unfortunately, when you reserve via Sliding Rock Cabins, the address/location isn't identified, so we had no way of knowing how remote this cabin is. It's very far from both Ellijay and Blue Ridge -- both about 25 - 30 mins away, and 2 1/2 miles up steep muddy roads.

One of the Best of the Best

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: Having used Sliding Rock Cabins as the go-to company for cabin rentals for a number of years, we have stayed in several of their managed units over the years. All have been good. Wildcat Watch is clearly the best of best. Well-appointed, clean, comfortable, and with a magnificent view. Cabin access is easy. The dogs had direct access to the fenced yard. Being near the road's end, it was quiet and situated on a lot that maximized privacy. All considered, that is why we feel Wildcat Watch to be one of the best in the area.

Quiet Breathtakingly Beautiful Views with a way to Inspire

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: A mix of modern amenities with rustic wood charm. Amazing and awe-inspiring views morning, noon and night. A way to reconnect to nature and life. The drive up to the cabin was twisty and steep, so be ready and prepared. Other than that the roads are great for walking. The cabin has multiple sleep options and the dogs loved the fenced in yard and gated decks for lounging. Kitchen is great for cooking family meals. Once you arrive you never have to leave as the cabin provides everything you could need from relaxing and entertainment to spending quality wine with family and friends.

Stunning Mountain Views

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: If you book this cabin, you really need a 4WD or AWD car/SUV. It's 3 miles up a gravel, rutted road, and steep road. But well worth the trip up for the stunning views. BTW, do your food shopping first before making the trek up! This cabin was spotless, the beds extremely comfortable. Hot tub and ping pong table got lots of use. We took day trips to hike in places like Amicalola Falls, Fort Mountain State Park, Blue Ridge, & Helen GA. My only recommendation would be to update the porch chairs and definitely fix up that firepit area. If you want peace and quiet in a comfortable cabin, this is the spot!

Second visit & won't be our last!

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: This was our second time staying at a SRC Property. The first time was in the fall and this time we went in summer. We went back the second time because we really treasured the first experience. The solitude, privacy, and natural beauty are what we treasure most and why we look forward to a 3rd stay. We also like that there are so many properties to choose from so our plan is to visit as many as possible because they all seem to have their unique benefits. We are the type that looks to completely unwind and relax while we are there, so we stop at the grocery store on the way in and basically, don't get back in the car until checkout. We take long walks with the dog, grill up dinner or cook on the campfire, play games, relax in the hot tub, listen to the sounds of nature and otherwise just do a lot of "nothing". Sliding Rock Cabins does a great job of making us feel comfortably disconnected.

Views for days

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 had one of the most beautiful views I have ever seen! The drive up was defiantly steep and bumpy but we were prepared for that based on the driving instructions. This cabin had a huge main deck overlooking the mountains, as well as a smaller upstairs patio and lower level deck. The cabin was beautifully decorated and made us feel like we were right at home. We were so thankful to be able to bring our fur babies with us, they loved the fresh air and spent a great deal of time on walks around the mountain. The only thing I wish this cabin had was a little flatter yard ( it was mainly on a hill, but none the less we were so grateful to have a fenced yard) and also we wish the deck had some kind of netting along rails ( maybe it was just our dogs but we brought them some balls to play with which are their favorite, but they kept slipping under the rail and we would have to trek down the hill to find them. Such a minor thing but would be nice) We spent most mornings and evening soaking in the scenery in the hot tub, and relaxing. I would HIGHLY recommend this cabin!

Disappointed to say the least.

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The owner is clearly not putting any money into this rental. Dark outdated lighting, no soundproofing, mishmash of everything. Appliances like toaster don’t work. Griddle missing a drip tray. Sheets get cleaned but told to leave the shams and comforters....when do those get cleaned???? The couches were uncomfortable, the basement smelled awful. Rules up the Ying Yang. Big negative, zero outside dining space. Jacuzzi broke. Grill is terrible, temp gauge is broken, loved cooking in the dark, not! Impossible! Literally no response from the management. Would I go back? **** no. I cleaned the place better than we arrived. Most blinds broken and don’t work. Outdated. Never again. Gorgeous view though. Sad, could be a gem. Oh also, thanks for saying the driveway is easy...you gotta be kidding. Take the money and run.

Cloud Watcher's Dream Cabin

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. 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: Let me begin by saying this is an extensive review and I would recommend staying at Wildcat Watch. This quiet cabin is perfect for porch sitting to watch changes in the light and sky over the valleys all the way to the next ridge of multiple peaks. Bring binoculars for bird watching as well. We heard and caught a glimpse of bear and cub traipsing through the woody area below the cabin the first morning. We spent our last evening watching fireflies and bats come out while tracking a distant rain storm moving parallel to us. The ping pong table was good quality and enjoyable. The kitchen was the very well equipped complete with a large electric griddle. The gas grill was large and of good quality. The beds were quite comfortable and linens were excellent quality. The bathrooms did not supply bath soap or shampoo. During the night our last night a rain storm came through and knocked power out for about 2 hours. It was long enough for it to warm up enough to make it hard to sleep. Being a resident of a similar environment this is to be expected so a generator is the norm but lacking here.The major downside was an unusable internet. The download speed was too slow for streaming (we got by with a 2 bar ATT 4G cell reception used as a hotspot) and the phone voice quality was barely understandable. The kitchen had little storage space for provisions and was tight on prep space. Other minor but annoying issues that can be taken care of by being pointed out: the icemaker was blocked upon arrival so we didn't have ice for a while, the toaster was defective, the main floor bath showerhead high pressure selector didn’t work. The main floor bedroom had one blind that was partially open but had a broken mechanism that allows you to adjust the slats. Not great if you want to sleep late. Overall our 3 night stay was very enjoyable and a welcome respite from the daily grind. We would stay here again.

The View IS Heavenly

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My husband (and my daughter, who invited herself to go with us) had a relaxing stay and enjoyed sitting on the back deck/porch listening to the wind in the trees, and the rain when it fell. The appliances were new, the king in the master comfortable. Renters should bring pillows, though, and I would NOT recommend anyone staying downstairs. The mold smell was AWFUL so there's a moisture problem that probably should be addressed SOON. The sofa with the cover is falling apart, uncomfortable.

Beautiful view

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: Great view and very cute well decorated clean cabin. Beyond pet friendly as always and the gated deck and fenced in yard were great!!! Road to cabin is gravel, but easy as promised of you're comfortable with mountain driving and no 4WD needed. Only thing is I wish it were more private on a less busy road, but the view is that good that ot attracts lots of other people and cabins. You do forget about them rocking in the rocking chair gazing out.
