Well worth it.
From the layout of the house to the location, our stay was a full 5 stars. Betty's country store (an IGA) being 1 block away was an unlooked for bonus. Next time I want to visit Helen, this house will be my1st choice.

Cute spot close to everything!
This was a cute little bungalow that was sooo close to everything. Once I parked my car, I was able to walk to all the shops and restaurants. I needed to reach Ms. Cindy when I arrived. She answered immediately and helped me out without question. Thank you for sharing this adorable place with our family.

We love the little cabin set in the heart of Helen. Close to everything yet on a quiet street where you can enjoy coffee on the porch while listening to the river. We will return again!

Perfect Location and Cozy Bungalow
Perfect location for a weekend family trip with our small dog! Parked once and we were able to walk wherever we needed to go in Helen. Betty's store is just a short walk down the street in case you need something. The bungalow had all the amenities as described. We will be back!! Thank you for sharing your home!
