Girls Spring trip

Location was perfect. Kitchen was well equipped. We were not aware that the only access to the second story bedroom was a spiral staircase which was difficult for us to take up and bring down our luggage. We thoroughly enjoyed the outside areas however the chairs on the upper deck were not comfortable without some kind of cushion or pillow.

Stay in Downtown Helen

We had a wonderful November stay at this beautiful home in downtown Helen! The location was perfect—right on the river and within walking distance to everything in town. The house was well-crafted, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed. The beds were super comfortable with nice linens, and the views were amazing. We especially loved the hot tub and fire pit, which made our evenings so relaxing. We’d definitely stay here again!

Our favorite rental EVER!!!

We invited our #1 Customer and their spouses to join us in Helen for a short getaway from Corporate America! The house was perfect. The location was beautiful aling side the Chattahoochie River! We couldnt have wished for more! Tubing, shopping, yummy restaurants and more! It was really hot while we were here, yet the house remained perfectly cool! A momma bear and her 5 cubs played in the yard on the 3rd day, which was super exciting! I can honestly say this was our favorite rental ever! We are looking at making this an annual event! The ownerd thought of everything! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!

Second time

This is the second time we have stayed in this house in Helen and we hope it won’t be the last. The location can’t be beat and having such a large backyard on the river made for some great afternoons of relaxing and playing in the river for us and the kids. We enjoyed having a fire at night and also the large living space for all of us to gather.

Best Spot in Helen!

Absolute best place to stay in Helen! Completely undersold on Vrbo site! You don’t realize how close you are to the main st in town until you see it in person. The caveat to that is it is very private and woodsy so you can feel very far away if you choose to. The outdoor space and river flowing through the back yard can only be imagined in person. My family (8) was completely blown away as was I. The inside was just as amazing as the outside. Very open with plenty of outdoor light to give you a great morning wake up view. To sum it up I would be highly disappointed if was not able to stay in the same home on my next visit!
