I couldn't find the heater for the hot tub so we didn't use it. The host was very communicative. The cabin was clean and well stocked. The big thing I would suggest is to let people know that if they don't have a 4 wheel drive vehicle they won't be able to get up the drive way.

The cabin was perfect! It was clean and with a great location. The downstairs shower had great water pressure. The views sitting in the hot tub or rocking chairs were breath taking. Only concern I did not read into as well before booking was the driveway. Definitely do not rent if low sitting car. And we used our 4 wheel drive suv and still scrapped the bottom. But we mastered it by the end of the stay.

I can’t say enough about the cleanliness of the place Above the rest. The person I had to call and find out a couple of things was outstanding. The food around the little town was amazing we only ate German food all weekend and liked it just because the restaurant is off the beaten path don’t mean it’s not good. Get out and explore it was amazing and we will be back.

The cabin was clean. We didn’t like that kitchen and family room were on separate floors. Lamp lighting would be nice. Hot tub was great!Driveway was an issue extremely steep and difficult to turn around. So steep at driveway entrance that a SUV and a sedan bottomed out. Not ideal for seniors due to number of steps and driveway.

The cabin is perfect! Great location with an easy walk to downtown (as long as you can handle the driveway up and down since it is a pretty steep hill). The cabin was very clean and the kitchen had all the amenities. We couldn't have asked for anything more awesome!

We decided to take one vehicle because of reviews on driveway. we drove a 4 wheel drive and still had some sliding issues with back end. hard to turn around once parked in a bigger vehicle. Overall location was great but we did drive and pay for parking because of steepness of driveway. The only other issues, We couldnt get trash can to lock and we all agreed the Bedrooms need side tables with lamps

I’m not sure I noticed if the listing had a washer and dryer, but it definitely does not, which was a little disappointing. The driveway was slippery when wet which was scary since I do not have 4 wheel drive.The staff support was excellent, and the house was private and quiet. The hot tub was a bonus for sure

Great town. Lovely cabin, but be prepared to walk up and down steep hill & driveway. Recommend having a 4x4 vehicle that doesnt sit low to the ground in order to successfully make it up into the driveway. Other than that, everything was beautiful!!

Nice cabin! Clean and well supplied. Nice decor and I especially loved the extra quilts. Beds were a bit stiff for my preference, but overall good. Communications were great with daily messages to make sure everything was fine. Unfortunately the blind approach from the road and extremely steep narrow driveway will prevent us from coming back. Even with an SUV I scraped my car trying to get out onto the road.

Nice quiet location. However, you cannot walk to nearby shops and restaurants due to the steep hill cabin is on. Also it would be nice if there was a washer/dryer.

House was clean upon arrival. Pros: 1. Close to town. 2. Clean property. 3. Private hot tub.Cons:1. Missing a roll of toilet paper in upstairs bathroom (each should have 2 per listing). 2. Only 2 rocking chairs on upper deck (photo shows 4 and I had 4 people). Not sure where others were. 3. Miscommunication with listing company. Was told my credit card didn't work for final payment and asked for payment earlier than what my email had stated. Found out that the card issue was on the rental company side not mine.4. Terrible driveway - EXTREMELY STEEP. Once we got up the drive with my SUV, we NEVER drove until time to leave. Walked everywhere but the climb up the drive was horrible. I would not recommend anyone without a 4 wheel drive renting this place. Had I realized how steep the driveway was I would not have rented myself. Also, would not recommend this property for elderly or handicapped individuals due to driveway access.5. No washer or dryer within unit6. Blankets in downstairs closet just laying in floor and appeared to be used. I did not know if they had been cleaned so afraid to use them.7. Batteries in TV remotes and outdoors fans needed to be replaced as several did not work. We had to swap them around depending on what we were using (TV and outside fans)

Nice Property with a built-in workout.

We chose Above The Rest based on the beautiful photos online and its unbeatable location—and it did not disappoint! Just a short walk from downtown Helen, the cabin offered the perfect mix of convenience and charm. The steep driveway added a bit of a workout, but we welcomed the exercise and the views it offered.Inside, the property was spotless, cozy, and well-stocked with plenty of linens, towels, and paper products—everything we needed for a comfortable stay. After a long day of hiking, the hot tub was an absolute treat and the perfect way to unwind.The property manager checked in a couple of times during our stay, which made us feel well taken care of. Everyone we met in Helen was warm and welcoming. We had such a great experience—we're already planning our return!
