About this property

1 bed, 1 bath, 1 Min Walk to Downtown

Enjoy the lower unit of this 2 unit rental with a cabin feel just off downtown Main St. This cozy, warm 1-bedroom, 1-bath living space is the perfect mix of location and privacy. There is no rental home closer to downtown Helen than our place!!! The open concept design includes elegant wooden post bed a jetted tub and shower in the bathroom with a full kitchen. Enjoy the views and sounds of downtown Helen from a large private balcony outside the front door.

We're here to help! Whether it's through messaging, texting, or a phone call.

The property is located within a 60 second walk from Main street between the Georgia Mountain Coaster and Paul's steakhouse.

If you have never been to Helen before you are in for a treat. It is a Bavarian style town with great beer halls and bars, restaurants, shopping, nature oriented adventures and a ton of family fun activities. By law all architecture must be Bavarian in style, even the fast food joints! In addition, if you want to explore the surrounding areas the natural wonders are incredible for hiking, waterfalls, kayaking, swimming, fishing, golfing, vineyards, etc. During the summer, people tube right down the river in front of our cabin. There are large lakes with public beach access close by and many festivals throughout the year. Helen is the 3rd most visited town in Georgia despite having only 500 full time residents.

This listing is for the lower unit living quarters, lower balcony and dedicated unit 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.

KEY FEATURES:
☀ 1 luxurious king bed
☀ 1 full bathroom
☀ Full kitchen
☀ Kitchen table and flat-screen TV
☀ Private Balcony overlooking downtown Helen
☀ Free parking

Our property is a two unit cabin, this listing is for the lower unit which has its own private entrance, in other words, there is not a shared space inside. There are some stairs from the driveway leading to the cabin entrance, which are not handicap accessible.

☆☆ LIVING AREA ☆☆
The primary living area is bright, with an open, studio style floor plan approximately 700 sq ft.

Without hesitation we can tell you our cabin is stunningly beautiful with outstanding décor and conceptual design throughout. In the living space is a free standing Jacuzzi tub between the bed and the TV in the open studio space so you can watch TV while in the tub, in the bed, or in the living space. Indoors is an extraordinary updated cabin filled with charm and character on the inside. You can hear and see the river from our property. The expansive downtown views are excellent year round, but when the leaves drop the elevated views of downtown Helen below our property are amazing. The living area also includes a large HDTV with streaming services and board games and books for those rainy days.

The unit is beautifully decorated and very romantic for couples. You will find it to be furnished for a very comfy stay with everything you need.

☆☆ BEDROOMS + BATHROOMS ☆☆
The property has a king bed with lovely wooden post bed frame designed with your comfort in mind. The bed is in an area set off to the side and is not in an enclosed bedroom. The unit is also equipped with a queen size blow up mattress with pump for additional guests.

Note if you are a very light sleeper you may wish to bring ear plugs as you can hear some hustle and bustle from town on the weekends at certain times of the year. We provide a floor fan and sound machine for some white noise as well.

The en-suite bathroom is open to the main room with a huge walk in shower that is made for two people with two shower heads and a seating bench in the shower. So when you shower it can be seen from the open studio style setting and was say this for privacy awareness. There is a closed in separate toilet closet with a door for privacy

***Note if you are a group of 4 adult friends understand the internal lack of privacy you face with this interior layout which is geared for romantic couples and sleeping 4 people is a tight fit requiring the kitchen table to be moved to make room for the air mattress.

☆☆ KITCHEN & DINING ☆☆
This unit has a full size kitchen with everything you need to cook full meals, and a comfy dining area with a small kitchen dining table.

Note: This unit does not have a dishwasher

Wonderful stay! Owners are very hospitable. Lower unit is ideal for a couple. You will get your steps in! Road, driveway, and stairs are steep--worth it for the amazing views and proximity to downtown! We saw deer on the property twice! Lots of birds and squirrels for the nature lovers. Some renters commented on the noise from the bar down the hill, but we didn't find it noticeable when inside so it didn't impact our enjoyment. We wanted to be close to action, so didn't mind the tradeoff of what comes with that.

About the host

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.
