The location on the river can’t be beat! The sounds of the river make this a peaceful place to relax. The house was spotlessly clean and was stocked with everything we could have needed. Simply wonderful!
Awesome location, clean property and availability of second property next door was exactly what we needed for our large group. Would definitely stay again.
The host was very welcoming, easy to contact. The home was beautiful and had enough supplies for us. My family enjoyed it as well as the river view. I look forward to coming back and using this same home.
This house is big and spacious. Stocked well and had Lots of outdoor seating and spaces for plenty of people. Also has lots of parking for multiple vehicles.
AMAZING location. We had an issue with plumbing our first day, but the host was quick to fix it and we never had another issue again. Loved the place for our family needs (which included someone in a wheelchair). The rooms all had plenty of space and the large dining area was great for us to play games while it was cold and raining. This was within walking distance to many great places and the river in the back yard was beautiful.
Host was super informative in a timely fashion ahead of the reservation. Easy to understand instructions. The place was also perfect. The river nearby, the walking distance to town, the comfort in each bedroom, all perfect. Wonderful experience, couldn't do better!
We have stayed on this property for October fest.The last 5 years, it is an amazing property.And an amazing location , well worth the cost. It is walking distance to everything so no need for any vehicles. Really the perfect place for october fest.
Great location which allows a quick walk to downtown Helen! Host was awesome and quick to respond. Would highly recommend as a great place for a large family or group of friends to stay!
Excellent cabin! Lots of room for all 8 of us. We had a large group and had 4 cabins on the same street. Very convenient to the town of Helen. I would recommend this cabin for anyone who wants to stay in Helen
We visit Helen every June for a long weekend. We truly enjoyed staying at this property. Had everything we needed and was in a great riverfront location. Walking distance to Helen is a great plus.
It was great they had everything they came and picked up the trash like 3 times while we were therei totally will rent again we go every year.
