Haus in the Heart of Helen - Upper Level Suite

PARK ONCE AND WALK TO EVERYTHING! Beautifully updated UPPER-LEVEL suite has an unbeatable location steps away from Main Street. This spacious one-bedroom retreat sleeping up to 4 guests features elegant bedroom and living room furniture, spa-style bathroom with Jacuzzi tub, fully equipped kitchen and large private balcony and deck to enjoy the sights and sounds of downtown Helen below. If you are coming for tubing, Oktoberfest, hiking, wineries, food and more this peaceful hideaway is for you.



We're here to help! Whether it's through messaging, texting, or a phone call. Let us know how we can accommodate your stay with us!

Located just a 60-second walk to Main Street, perfectly situated between the Georgia Mountain Coaster and Paul's Steakhouse by the Chattahoochee River Bridge.

If you’ve never been to Helen, you’re in for a treat! Our guests love Helen for its one-of-a-kind Bavarian charm, walkable downtown, and nonstop fun in every season.

The town is famous for its lively beer halls, restaurants, local shops, wine tasting rooms, and year around festivals. From tubing the Chattahoochee River in summer (right in front of the cabin!) to Oktoberfest celebrations in the fall (the longest-running Oktoberfest in the U.S.!), Helen always has something happening.

Beyond downtown, the surrounding area is packed with natural beauty—waterfalls, scenic hikes, mountain views, vineyards, lakes with public beaches, fishing, golf, and endless outdoor adventures. Whether you’re here for a romantic weekend, family fun, or an outdoor escape, Helen delivers big charm in a small, unforgettable town-it’s no surprise Helen is the 3rd most visited town in Georgia!


This listing is for the upper level suite, upper patio, upper balcony and dedicated suite parking space. There is one vehicle allowed per rental, not per guest. Also note no RV's or trailers due to our steep driveway entrance. Any normal car, SUV or truck will work fine.

☆☆ CHECK OUT OUR LOWER SUITE TO KEEP YOUR GROUP TOGETHER — SLEEPS AN ADDITIONAL 4 GUESTS! ☆☆

Our property is a two-unit cabin. This listing is for the UPPER SUITE, which has its own private entrance— there are no shared indoor spaces. There are some stairs from the driveway leading to the cabin entrance, which are not handicap accessible.

Our guests’ favorite features of the property are the beautiful downtown views and the convenience of being just steps from Main Street. Please note that because of this close proximity, you may occasionally hear some town noise, especially during busy weekends or seasonal events. If you’re a light sleeper or sensitive to noise, we recommend keeping this in mind when booking.

☆☆ GREAT ROOM ☆☆

Without hesitation, we can say our cabin is absolutely stunning, featuring outstanding décor and thoughtful design throughout. The great room is bright, open, and beautifully appointed with rich wood craftsmanship, custom details, and gleaming hardwood floors. Vaulted ceilings with skylights create an airy, spacious feel that makes the room feel even larger than it is.

From the outside, the cabin reflects true Bavarian-style ski chalet charm, while the interior offers a beautifully updated space filled with warmth and character. You can both hear and see the river from the property, adding to the relaxing mountain ambiance. The expansive downtown views are beautiful year-round, and when the leaves fall, the elevated views of downtown Helen below are especially breathtaking.

The great room also features a large HDTV with streaming services, plus board games and books for cozy nights in or rainy afternoons.

☆☆ BEDROOMS + BATHROOMS ☆☆

The bedroom features a luxurious king-size bed with a beautifully crafted wooden post frame designed with your comfort in mind. You’ll also find a spacious dresser with mirror and a large wardrobe, perfect for unpacking and settling in. Inside the wardrobe, there is an additional large HDTV with streaming services for added convenience.

For extra guests, the unit includes a queen-size sofa bed in the living room.

Please note: If you are a very light sleeper, you may wish to bring earplugs, as some seasonal weekend activity from town can occasionally be heard. We also provide a sound machine for white noise to ensure a restful stay.

☆☆ KITCHEN & DINING ☆☆

The unit includes a fully equipped kitchen and dining area, open to the great room for easy gathering and entertaining. The kitchen is stocked with cookware, dishes, utensils, dishwasher pods, and all necessary appliances to prepare delicious meals during your stay.

The dining table comfortably seats up to four guests, making it perfect for family dinners or game nights.

☆☆ OUTDOOR SPACE ☆☆
While there are plenty of outdoor activities nearby, this suite also offers breathtaking views of downtown Helen from its large front balcony as well as a private retreat on the spacious deck near the front entry where you can relax and unwind after a day of adventures. Enjoy your morning coffee, unwind in the evening, or have some fun with a game of Giant Connect 4 while enjoying our outdoor amenities.

Steven was a wonderful host. He stayed in contact with me from the time I booked the trip until we left the property, and he did a great job making sure we had everything we needed to make our stay a great one. The property is even more beautiful than the pictures, and we wish we could have stayed longer. It was wonderful to be so close to everything. We will definitely be back!

Thank you for your review David, we enjoyed hosting you and would love to have you back in the future. I am sorry to hear that the music at a nearby venue was disruptive to your stay. We have a fan in the unit to generate some white noise and as a result of your feedback we will also be adding a sound machine to the unit to provide a variety of additional white noise options.

Everything associated with the accommodations were excellent. For at least Friday and Saturday nights you do need some white noise as the music plays loudly until 1:00am from the tavern below. We understood that being within walking distance of everything could mean some road noise or music.

This was in the perfect location for us. We walked mostly everywhere! We stayed during a very busy time for Helen and not having to drive was amazing. The bar/restaurant next door got pretty loud but we are music people so we sat outside and enjoyed the music. It’s also convenient that the kids could go to that restaurant the food there was good and the most reasonable priced. Don’t buy a souvenir beer cup to refill… just look above the microwave lol. The bed was amazingly comfortable and the air mattress for the kids was also surprisingly comfortable. We would definitely stay here again.

The house was very comfortable but could have used a deep cleaning. There was a lot of dust and a mold smell. There were also several bee carcasses. The wood walls and ceilings were beautiful and the furniture looked expensive and lovely.

Loved this cabin! The new owners are super nice and were truly invested in us enjoying our stay. Due to rapid fluctuations in the weather before and during our stay, we had an issue with needing to clean up dead bees upon arrival, but we were more sad about the bees than we were upset about the sweep up. The owners are making upgrades to the amenities, so this wonderful property will only get better and better. The upstairs portion is spacious and comfortable. The stairs were a challenge, but we felt invigorated by it. The views were awesome! Proximity to downtown couldn't be better. We were not bothered by the noises from down the hill, which were really only noticeable when we were on the deck. We would stay here again!

This was truly one of our favorite stays. From the moment we walked in, everything felt incredibly clean, thoughtfully arranged, and welcoming.The space is so unique, especially being on the top floor with slanted ceilings. We loved starting our mornings with coffee while sunlight streamed through the skylights in the main living area. It created such a warm, relaxing atmosphere.The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the shower along with the oversized jacuzzi bathtub felt more like a spa than a rental. Every detail made it easy to unwind.The location couldn’t have been better. It’s an easy walk to town, and in the evenings we enjoyed hearing the sounds of the city, including live music. With buildings lit up at night, the whole town felt like a magical Christmas village.One highlight was visiting Anna Ruby Falls, which was beautiful and easy to get to.The porches surrounding the property were stunning. On one side, it felt like being in the woods, while on the other you could look down through the trees to the quaint town below. The host was incredibly accommodating and responsive.We would absolutely come back.

About the host

Hosted by Steven Kulzer

Host profile image
My wife, Kaile, and I reside in Flowery Branch, GA with her 3 school age boys. Kaile grew up in Dublin, OH and I grew up in Rochester, NY. We have lived in Georgia for over 10 years and enjoy all the outdoor activities the state has to offer from hiking and camping in the north Georgia mountains to relaxing on the beaches outside of Savannah. We also enjoy attending art festivals and listening to live music.

Why they chose this property

Helen is a very unique and safe town with a lot of heritage, shopping, dining and entertainment options that will make your time in the area memorable. Tubing down the Chattahoochee river in the summer, and exploring the many shopping and dining options the town are our favorite things to do when in the area, all of which is very walkable from our property.

What makes this property unique

The location of the Haus in the Heart of Helen cannot be beat with the Chattahoochee river, Georgia Mountain Coaster and several dining options all within a 2 min walk from our front door.
