This is one of the best properties we’ve ever stayed at! The location was in the middle of everything for a short walk around Helen, and even the smallest room had a fireplace, balcony, and personal bathroom. The king pullout couch was perfect for the kids and if the weather was warmer, our family would have loved the balconies and hot tub! Even the little details were thoughtfully planned. The owners had everything covered, including a charging station, coffee, koozies for cold drinks, and Christmas bedding! The Alexa was easy to use for music, and the TV was dummy proof. The owner was friendly and accommodating. Would definitely come here again or to another property from these owners. Thanks so much!

Our recent stay at Riverside Trout Cottage was a memorable experience, particularly for the six adults and our four-month-old. While there were a few drawbacks, the overall charm and amenities of the property made our getaway enjoyable.One of the standout features of Riverside Trout Cottage is its location. The property offers stunning views and easy access to downtown. It’s just .04 miles to the center of downtown, which made exploring the area convenient. The size of the property was perfect for our group. We had ample space for everyone. The highlight for many of us was the hot tub. However, we did encounter some discomfort with the beds. The mattresses were not as comfortable as we had hoped. A good night's sleep is crucial, especially with a baby in tow, and this aspect was a bit disappointing for us.ConclusionOverall, Riverside Trout Cottage offers a wonderful retreat with its luxurious feel, ideal location, and beautiful views. Despite the uncomfortable beds, the charm of the property, the kindness of the host and the amenities made for a memorable trip. We can definitely see ourselves returning to this lovely condo. If you’re looking for a spacious, beautiful place to stay in Helen, this cottage is a solid choice—just be prepared for a few restless nights!

This property is a gem!! Absolutely the best hosts! Their communication was quick and friendly. This stay felt like home. So many amenities!! So many details to this stay that make it perfect. We actually loved the little signs throughout the home. Having a bathroom for each bedroom when staying with multiple couples was key. We enjoyed the hot tub in the evening too! Easy access to Oktoberfest! Kitchen is fully stocked. Garage has access to chairs, cornhole and more. I cannot say enough great things about this stay! An absolute must stay! Will be back next year!!
