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
