Reviewer Comments:
The rental cabin itself was clean, all appliances worked as expected. The lighting within the rental was a bit poor (mainly lamps) but the cabin does allow ample daylight during the day. As other reviews have mentioned, the jacuzzi tub is a great benefit; however, the hot water heater cannot provide enough hot water to actually fill it up to a good relaxing point. The property description could use some updating. The road, and the driveway, to the rental is very steep. When we arrived, there was a severe storm passing through causing water (and a small mud slide) to come down the road in. Once we arrived to the actual cabin, the parking location is at an intense angle, especially for a bigger truck. For smaller, awd cars, it may not be an issue; however, maneuverability is very limited there. We had also planned on walking for the most part once we arrived in Helen. While this location appears to be walkable (10-15 min walk via google maps), due to the road and driveway in, I would not consider the location of this cabin walkable for multiple days. I see that other reviews have mentioned the steepness of the driveway and road before; however, It was a big enough deal that, with multiple days of rain expected on our trip, my wife and I decided to leave the rental after the first night and stay within the town of Helen itself to make us more comfortable. This also allowed us to walk in and out of the town a bit easier, as we originally planned to walk from the rental.This review is not a knack towards the ownership or management. I’m just providing detailed information regarding the drive and parking situation. Multiple other reviews did mention the steepness and uncomfortability of the driveway. I believe this is something that should be added to the listing; Including that larger trucks (especially anything over a half-ton) may have difficulties with parking.
