This is a wonderful home. We spent our Christmas vacation here. The family enjoyed the game room and other amenities which facilitated a lot of quality time together. It is clean and comfortable, much easier to access and park than other places we’ve stayed in the same subdivision, and conveniently close to Helen’s attractions. The hosts are helpful and very responsive. I highly recommend it and would stay here again.

We loved our stay! Property is very nice and located in the resort area. Close to town. My group enjoyed the game room and hot tub. Rooms are comfortable and spacious with plenty of bathrooms. Owners were great with communicating. I like the option to check out at a later time. Will stay here again in the future.

10 out of 5 stars!!! This place is incredible. The location. The privacy. Every single thing was impressive. My family has been coming to Helen for 40 years and this is, by far, one of the greatest places we have stayed! As a professional interior designer- I can tell you that it looks amazing and that every single room has been thoughtfully curated for the guest! But it's more than just 'good looks'- they've thought of everything from towels right by your hot tub... to the ultimate coffee machine... to the bed linens... and more! Do yourself a favor and try this place on your next visit to Helen! I went with teenage boys and they had the TIME OF THEIR LIVES! They were never on their phone because there was so much to do in the home! Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for an unforgettable weekend for my son and his friends celebrating a big occasion. We will TOTALLY be back!!!

We had an awesome stay at Spielen Haus! The house was spotless and it was evident the host put the guests in mind. From the interior and exterior design, to the equipment provided - every last detail was thought of. The host was so generous and we could tell a lot of thought and effort went into the house. After a long day in Helen it was so much fun to return to the house and enjoy the jacuzzi and the game room. I really can't think of anything that could have been done better.
