Very convenient to the downtown shops and restaurants. There is a nice 1 mile hike along the river very close to the unit. The 2 story townhouse was very spacious and well-stocked. It was very quiet and the beds were comfortable. We enjoyed our stay in Helen despite the heat.

Dear Roch, Thank you for your feedback. Our deck has been pressure washed and repainted for a fresh appearance. New smoke detector has been placed back. Seems like the previous guest had removed it without bringing it to our attention. We hope you will consider staying at our home again!

Overall the property was great. The only issue is that the leg of the futon was broken upon arrival so we had to rearrange where everyone was sleeping. Messaged the host with no response but not a deal breaker! The property did have any and everything you would need to enjoy your stay.

Dear Kacee, Thank you for your feedback. We have replaced the futon with a day-bed, and rill-under trundle bed. Its pictures have been updated on the online property listing. Seems like the leg of the futon broke by one of the previous guests. We hope you will consider staying at our home again during your next Helen stay!

This was a lovely property that was close to town while still being secluded enough to enjoy the sounds of nature.The home was as advertised. It was clean and well stocked for our stay (we did have to purchase paper towels but, otherwise, had everything we needed including travel size toiletries). Not only would I stay here again, I’d recommend it to anyone visiting Helen and surrounding areas.

Amy was a warm and gracious host. She answered all questions quickly. The condo was well appointed, warm and cozy. It was very clean and comfortable. Amy left specific notes so there was little confusion as to how and what needed to be done. We loved the little sayings about family and love that were scattered throughout the rooms. We felt right at home! We had a wonderful stay in Helen. We would rent this condo again. Thank you for sharing your condo with us.

Clean and comfortable accomodations for the three of us with plenty of room to spare. It was a little confusing to find as we came in from the east and our navigation told us we were there two condo complexes early. I should have looked at the excellent directions from the host beforehand and it would have been avoided. It's about 1/2 mile walk to the west with a sidewalk to get to Edelweiss Strasse and a Thai restaurant and a BBQ restaurant. Both restaurants are among the highest rated in town. The walk back is on a slight incline. The water park is a short distance to the east, but there's no sidewalk, and it was closed. We thought it was strange to have a water park closed over Labor Day weekend, but we were told it was due to a lawsuit involving the death of a four year old child. The other water activity in the area is tubing the Chattahoochee river, with two outfitters about a half mile walk to the west. Having the option to walk to amenities is definitely a plus as it's mostly paid parking in Helen (10 a day). If we go back to Helen, we will definitely consider staying at this property again.

About the host

Hosted by Amy

Host profile image
We live not too far from Helen and love to travel. Many a times, time & budget did not always allow us to make long far away trips, and that is when we started exploring various places around us. Of all, Helen has been our prime destination over the span of past 18 years because of all that it has to offer... scenic drives around, hiking trails, camping grounds, local festivals, its Bavarian alpine town look, cute Helen Square with its local hustle and bustle mixed with tourists, and of course its signature Oktoberfest. When we were blessed to be able to buy our next home, picking Helen to be the spot was our unanimous choice. Our exhilarating trips to Helen are much more frequent now. We have decorated our new house with obsessive love and care, given it our personal touch to now make it a warm and welcoming home. An abode where we strive for happiness to dwell, magical moments be spent or shared and beautiful memories be made for later to be cherished in the lanes of nostalgia. We extend our hospitality to all those who visit here, from far and from near, to enjoy our heavenly abode just as if we were enjoying it ourselves.

Why they chose this property

We chose this neighborhood because it gives us the best of both worlds... the peaceful, welcoming feel of a vacation retreat while being conveniently close to everything that makes Helen so special.

Having visited Helen for nearly 18 years, we knew we wanted our home to be in an area where we could easily enjoy the scenic beauty, hiking trails, Chattahoochee River, tubing, local restaurants, festivals, and the charm and energy of downtown Helen. At the same time, we wanted a neighborhood where we could come home, relax, and enjoy a little peace and quiet after a day of exploring.

The location felt like the perfect fit for us: close enough to enjoy all that Helen has to offer, yet tucked away enough to feel like a true getaway. It is the kind of neighborhood where we would want to stay ourselves... and that is exactly what we wanted to share with our guests!

What makes this property unique

A property that is brand new in construction, interior, furniture, appliances, and it all. A property where all vacation comforts are available when in the house as well as when you step out. A property where minute detail and thought has been put to make your stay as delightful as possible with all basic necessities at your fingertips. A property which is conveniently accessible to restaurants, water tubing, Chattahoochee river, Helen square, hiking trails, and much more. A property where the homeowner would love to receive your feedback to be able to make your current stay, your next stay or the next guest’s stay further more delightful and satisfying.
