We had a wonderful time in Helen. The house was very comfortable for the four of us and convenient to downtown area. Nicely decorated and it felt like home. The view of the river was pretty and the sound of the water flowing down the river was relaxing. We had a spider issue outside on the deck but the host took care of it immediately. The host stayed in contact with us throughout our stay. Excellent customer service. I definitely recommend staying at this location! You will not be disappointed.

Everything was clean when we walked in. Aside from some lady bugs that made their way in from the cold snap. The rules were very clear for check in and out. They have a courtesy call after we checked in too. Great experience. Will be back.

My daughters and I stayed here for a long weekend and loved it! The cabin is beautiful and the location is great, both quiet and close to everything. If you’re a book lover, I highly recommend visiting Mt. Yonah book exchange. The owner is amazing. We also enjoyed the safari drive through.
