The house exceeded our expectations! Our host was amazing. The Internet went out due to a storm and she helped us get it back on immediately. The house is very close to the heart of town. We definitely will stay again if we are in the area.

Great stay for family

My mom is staying with us for the summer in Columbus, GA and I wanted to take a short road trip somewhere cute in Georgia that would work for our dog and baby too so we settled on Helen. This was the perfect place to stay. Very quiet and comfortable plus a short drive to town and other attractions. The screened in back patio was such a nice place to sit in the morning and drink tea while nursing my baby. Loved the guest book and being able to see others recommendations/experiences. The home was nice and had plenty of room. It was nice that a highchair and playpen was available although we did bring our own portable high chair and a play yard for our daughter to sleep in. Also appreciated there being dog bowls! It was a great stay for the whole family!

About the host

Hosted by Kasey Schultz

Hi, I'm Kasey! My husband Jay and I are passionate travelers and proud parents of two wonderful kids. We love exploring new places together and have turned that passion into creating memorable stays for others.

We own several short-term rentals, including cozy retreats in Pigeon Forge, TN and relaxing getaways along the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Our goal is to provide clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully curated spaces where you can truly unwind and feel at home—whether you're planning a fun family vacation or a peaceful escape.

We're always just a message away and happy to offer local tips or answer any questions. We look forward to hosting you and helping make your stay special!

Why they chose this property

We chose Innsbruck because of its close proximity to downtown Helen—just minutes away from all the charm, dining, and activities the town has to offer. We also loved that it’s a gated community in a beautiful mountain setting, which gives our guests both security and serenity.

Innsbruck offers fantastic amenities, including a golf course and access to the luxury spa at the Valhalla Resort—making it an ideal location for both relaxation and adventure. It truly gives you the best of both worlds: peaceful mountain vibes with easy access to town.
