The property was very nice. It was clean and seemed to be maintained. The only issues we had is that the fireplace was not working even though it was supposed to have been and I wish they would leave enough coffee and yes bags for at least the first morning. Those are very minor complaints though

This was a very cute cabin close to downtown helen but away enough so that it was quiet. We enjoyed the hottub and loved that we were able to grill and have a full kitchen to cook in. We will definitely be staying here again.

We recently had all our fireplaces inspected for safely and unfortunately this property was one that needs some attention to the flue. I hope you will give us another chance and come back real soon.
