beautiful property, easy to find, close to Helen

This property is clean and quiet. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Check in and out was very easy. Compared to some VRBOs where you just about have to clean the property before you leave. Would highly recommend.

Christmas getaway

We enjoyed our stay at this very clean & quiet condo. It was stocked with all the basic necessities & the Christmas tree was a wonderful touch! The king size bed was very comfortable which was so nice after hiking all day & walking the streets around Helen each night, We would definitely stay here again.

Location

Great location, able to walk to downtown. Very, very clean. The property manager helped me getting the key out of the lockbox and inspected the home for cleanliness. Everything was in great shape. Would be a great place for a longer stay.

Great place, very clean, comfortable. Location requires short drive for Helen highlights. Realizing the property is new, it could use a couple of comfortable chairs and rocker in living area and a BBQ grill on patio.

We absolutely loved our stay . The host was really amazing! She guided us and helped us get into our location. She was honest, I left a gift for her and she called to tell me I had left it and was able to surprise her with it. Thank you!

Family Getaway

Condo was clean and very well taken care of. Checking in and out was quick and easy. If I had to change anything it would be, exchange the white towels and comforters to a different color that doesn't show as much dirt. Also, adding a washer and dryer.

New, but

The property was within walking distance of everything. It was new and clean, but the owner should decorate a little. It was also missing a coffee table in the living room and the front bedroom was extremely bright in the morning, it really needs dark curtains. We would definitely stay again.

Disappointing Stay – Lack of Basic Amenities and Poor Communication

Our stay at this VRBO property was disappointing due to a lack of basic amenities and poor responsiveness from the host. There were four of us staying for three days, and we were only provided with four towels and four washcloths total — no extras at all. This made things inconvenient and frustrating, especially for a multi-day stay.I reached out to the owner about the issue, but unfortunately, I never received a response. The lack of communication only added to the aggravation. When you’re paying to stay somewhere, you expect at least the bare minimum in hospitality and some level of attentiveness from the host.Because of this experience, we’ll probably look elsewhere next time. This stay just didn’t meet expectations.

Great host. Great space. Great location.

Just off the strip next to really great restaurants. Peaceful and quiet with a big space for our family to enjoy the tranquility of Helen GA. Fantastic restaurants two blocks away. Fantastic internet to research the next day. We had a great time. Very clean and new townhouse. Would stay again.

Definitely recommend!

The location was perfect. Beds were comfortable. I never could get ahold of anyone to tell when we checked out, because I couldn’t get a signal from the Valhalla Resort - where we had a fabulous breakfast!! Might suggest a few more drinking glasses. But that wasn’t a big deal since we were only there 1 night. Will definitely be back!

Excellent location

The townhouse was very clean and the location was great. It was very quiet and easily accessed. Our only suggestions would be more wash cloths and towels (1 of each for 2 days is really not enough) and clothes hangers.

Great location, great host, great town!!

We met up with some family for a reunion. This was less than a mile to the city center walking. This has plenty of room and all of the essentials you need. It was nice to have a place away from the hustle and bustle to relax. Oktoberfest is a blast, I highly recommend visiting this town and staying with this host!

Need to update their locks

Their lock system is antiquated and very inconvenient. Locking a single key in a padlock hanging on a door handle is nice for realtors, but shouldn’t be used for rentals. Security code doors are much convenient for all. Otherwise, Vince place with a pleasant location and plenty of parking.

Oktoberfest in Helen!

This was a great listing! It was very clean and spacious. The location was perfect for a short 1 mile walk to Main Street in Helen. The beds were very comfortable as well. Plenty of parking and a very quiet neighborhood.
