We really enjoyed staying here. It was perfect for my husband, me and our 1 year old Shih Tzu. The cabin is adorable and is really close to two restaurants and the Main Street where every thing happens, but sits on a quiet street. It was stocked with most essentials needed and very clean. Cindy responded quickly when needed. We hope to visit Helen again and plan to stay here again.
Weiner snitzel, sauerkraut and mashed potatoes. Delicious.
Soft pretzels and beer cheese everywhere.

We had a great stay with our family, including goldendoodle. This was a great location, close to everything but still separated enough to not feel like you can't enjoy the outdoor area. Extremely clean place, and very easy check in/out process. Recommend to anyone!

Always a great place to stay

We had another great stay at Helen Bungalows. We brought the furry babies and hiked to Anna Ruby falls. It is such a great spot. Close to downtown Helen so you can walk everywhere but a little on outskirts so it’s quiet.
