*NO SMOKING INSIDE.

*Up to May 15th of 2025 construction works will likely be taking place on next door property, during the weekdays only. New bungalow is framed up and any noise would more than likely be on the inside at this point in time. However, there could be occasional noise from 8am-7pm {Monday to Friday}.

* Georgia Bungalow has had many upgrades during the last month, which are not reflected on pictures or videos … will update those soon. Check out our videos of property on Facebook @ Helen Bungalows - downtown convenience on quiet, back street.

If this bungalow is booked on the dates you're wanting, please try our bungalow next door VRBO.com/2638757 (Helen)

IMPORTANT UPDATE: We encourage all of our guest to purchase travel insurance to cover any unforeseen medical or weather emergencies. We will no longer issue refunds outside of VRBO's refund agreement. Please plan ahead and protect your vacations.

Pet friendly for our well behaved friends. Please help us stay pet friendly by picking up behind your pets outside.

Approx. 30 - 50ft (across the street) just before, at end of fence and at the old bridge, provides access to Chattahoochee River & fly fishing paradise. The rocking chair front porch is a favorite and offers some views of the river. Save on parking by staying with us downtown. Walk to downtown shopping, liquor store and our famous Betty"s Country Store (IGA) for groceries. Walk to our many restaurants including Paul's Steak House (on the River) where you can dance the night away at Paul's Margarita Deck with live music and seasonal karaoke. Enjoy the indoor Fun Factory with skating rink, go-carts, laser tag, bouncy house & arcade on sunny and rainy days. Water park & tubing during those warm summer days and don't forget the zip lines and rollercoaster, one of our favorites. Helen offers something for everyone.

Property is quaint and had everything we needed. Very clean. The best part is that it is within walking distance of the heart of town. Would stay here again.

My lovely wife and teenage sons stayed here, their was plenty of room for all of us, property was clean and well kept but the shining star of this place is the location. Quiet and tucked away, close enough to hear the river, and only a 5 minute walk to town. If you stay here to explore Helen you most likely wont even need to move your car unless you are heading out of town.

We had an amazing time. The cottage is perfect as everything you need. The best part is how close it is to town where you can just walk everywhere. We did some stuff outside of Helen like hiking and ATV rides and all of those were wonderful too we will definitely be back.

The house was clean, great location, and a good value. Stayed here with our teen and fur baby. Loved that it was close to everything. Parked the car and didn't move it until we left. The house was very clean and it was really nice to have room to move around when we were there as opposed to being stuck in a hotel room. Will definitely be coming back.
