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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

We really enjoyed our stay here. Convenient to town. You could walk if you wanted to. The beds were comfortable. Bathrooms in each bedroom and a half bath downstairs. Private sitting area out back. We visit Helen every year and this has been the best place I have stayed.

Just what was needed

The first thing I look for in a Vrbo is cleanliness! This place fit the bill- and I have high standards! Additionally- we were allowed to check in early which was MUCH appreciated! Location is great- not on the beaten path - but close enough to everything! Appreciated the Roku and ability to log into our Netflix too!!

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.

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.

Great Spot for Helen

Property located within walking distance to Main Street. Easy walk to restaurants. Property was clean and looks like newly renovated. Had an issue with getting the key out of the lock box but contacted the property manager and someone was there within 10 minutes to get us in. I received a call from Lynn and she apologized for the inconvenience and made sure we were setup with wifi.

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.
