Loved our stay. The stairs were steep for our little furry friend but would stay again. Loved the quiet and plenty of outdoor space to walk, play with our pet and relax.

What a cute little cabin! The property is conveniently located close enough to Dahlonega and far enough for peace and quiet. The decks on the river, the swing near the river, the fire pit areas, and the upstairs deck at the cabin are perfect places to relax outdoors. The cabin décor is cute and cozy, and we appreciated all the extra welcoming touches--snack basket, fishing gear, fire pit supplies, sunscreen and mosquito repellent, laundry supplies, extra toilet paper, and toiletries. It's always a treat to stay in a rental that's personally managed by owners who go above and beyond. I only gave four stars instead of five for cleanliness for the following reasons: a strong unpleasant smell downstairs, like an extreme wet dog smell or possible water leak; our socks collected a lot of dog hair from the rugs; and the couch cover and throw blankets smelled like dog. I realize it's a pet-friendly rental, so some evidence of animals wasn't surprising. We don't have pets, so we're not used to animal smells and hair. It wasn't a deal breaker for us, and we would stay again.

River Rock Cabin Spring Break 2025

The cabin and property were spectacular. Very convenient to town but secluded and private. The river was so peaceful. Short drive to the reservoir, hiking, beautiful waterfalls, and other trout streams as well as wineries.

Excellent!

First time visiting the N. Georgia mountains and I recommend this place for anyone wanting to explore wine country and Dahlonega. Close by the city square and tucked away in a quiet area near the River. We all enjoyed our stay, as well as our dog!

River Rock Cabin

Great location. Beautiful river to explore. Plenty of room for my Yorkie and my husband and I. I would stay here again. Needed to find a place to stay while I worked at local schools and this place was in a great location. This place was in an ideal location.

Stayed while doing the Georgia Death Race

This little gem is low key, clean and a safe place to stay. The neighborhood was friendly and driving to and from the race was easy. It’s ideal for 2 low key people that aren’t expecting ritzy. Definitely would come back!

Enjoyed our stay!

Had a wonderful stay, the amenities and property was very accommodating. We also visited several places in the area. We wanted to get away from the city life in Miami, Fl for New Year’s and this was the perfect spot. The river and fire pits were perfect for the cold weather. Hope to return in the near future.

We enjoyed our stay; it was two nights. The place was equipped with everything necessary—kitchen utensils, blankets, cleaning supplies, and good internet connection. An excellent place to disconnect. Highly recommended.

Perfect Place / Everything you Need

Cannot say enough wonderful things about River Rock Cabin. The property is beautiful - right on the river; quiet and relaxing. The cabin was exceptionally clean and had everything you could think of. The owners left us goodies for our hikes and gift as well. I've been to many VRBO locations, and this by far out ranks any of the others. We had a wonderful time and plan on returning soon.
