Heltonville was amazing! The house/property was gorgeous, clean and spacious. Kristen has been the most communicative hostess I have ever dealt with. She responds quickly and answered any questions I had. The kitchen was fully stocked and there was extra toilet paper (which was a bonus). We hope to go back someday!
