We had a great time, the cabin was better than expected. The layout was great, the home was clean and spacious for two adults and our dogs. We really appreciated that a bed and extras were included for our boys. The hot tub was great and the creek and raised deck was perfect for our Golden Retriever to play in the water and keep him from splashing everyone. The cabin was secluded but still close enough to town to easily grab food and the things we needed during our stay. I highly recommend if you are looking for a quiet relaxing location.We are already planning another stay.

Perfect Valentine Getaway for Couples

We enjoyed everything about our stay. It was a great last minute getaway and the cabin was exceptional. The extra attention to details in every space made the stay even better. The cabin has so many cozy spaces. We especially loved the decor, the cozy blankets, fireplace, Bluetooth speakers, kitchen and chairs overlooking the river below, the bedroom space, the extra doggie treats and bed, and even the emerald green cabinet pulls. We especially enjoyed the covered bridge being lit up on our way in and out each day too. A very quiet place to retreat and enjoy nature. Highly recommended.

The cabin is well equipped and the people at Sliding Rock Rentals were very attentive and offered suggestions for celebrating the 4th of July while we were there. The location could be tricky to get to in rain or ice/ snow without a 4 wheel drive, but that’s part of the charm. The river was wonderful for relaxing next to with our pups and the fenced in yard was a big convenience. Planning on coming back soon!

The cabin was fully prepared with utensils pans washing machine wifi not that you need to be on line much. The nights were full of beautiful sounds and tranquility. You get use to the katydids and the music that they produces ties the river for the perfect sound to sleep to. We wish we could of stayed longer.
