Reunion In Helen

Our family had an amazing time at the cabin. The kitchen was well stocked which was very convenient. The cabin was very close to downtown and the rollercoaster (which we rode twice!). The hill is a bit steep but my 65 yr old was able to walk up it fine. Totally worth not to deal with traffic! We'd totally stay there again!

Helen at last minute

Decided to stop in last minute and hotels booked. 4 guys on Harleys so usually get 2 rooms with 2 queen beds. This was less than 2 rooms and each got their own room. Very nice. On a hill on back street so walking tough but we did it. Overall very good.

Loved it!

Loved our stay in Helen! It is true that the parking is a little difficult. You will need to plan to bring smaller vehicles. The listing didn't specify the exact number of parking spots, but we clarified that via email (there are 3). The house itself was amazing and just as described, even though we didn't realize the master was on the bottom and the other king upstairs. The only thing that was negative was our friends who stayed upstairs mentioned bugs they found in their room. Otherwise, it was just what we needed! Super close to town as well!

Awesome stay

We did find two things that should be taken care of. 1… creamer on counter needs to refrigerated and so was bad. Need to get creamer that needs no refrigeration. 2… bath sink faucet upstairs needs attention only because the cold side is hot water and hot water is cold. Needs the line switched over. We both enjoyed the stay very much. Everything is is close to where the Alpine Bungalow was. So it was perfect for the couple days that we were there. Thanks for having us. We will definitely tell friends and family of the beautiful place you have.

Cozy and comfy bungalow!

We had a wonderful stay at the Bungalow. It is located in a perfect uphill where if you don't mind, it's a very short walking distance to the rollercoasters, tubing and also to walk the town. We loved it so much and look forward to coming back!
