We really enjoyed our stay! The hosts were more than accommodating and helpful! The location was great! It was right in downtown but nestled in a cozy wooded area so you felt like you were secluded and had some privacy. The morning we were leaving we saw a deer with her 2 babies cross the driveway. The bed in the master was very comfortable and so were the pillows! I loved that they had very nice sized TVs in all the rooms and even one on the porch! We would definitely stay with them again!

Really enjoyed this property. The house is a bit dated in some regards (mainly electrical), but nothing significant. The location is great for a stay in Helen and that made for easy access to the places we wanted to go. Good communication from the host and no real issues at all. Will definitely look here first if we are planning to be back in the area.

We enjoyed our stay here! It was very clean and cozy. The mattress themselves are comfortable, however the bed frames in both bedrooms were extremely loud. Every move you made it felt like the bed was going to fall apart. Other than the loud bed frames, our stay was pretty wonderful here! Would love to stay again!

Weekend getaway

The home was very easy to locate and check in was very smooth. It was a very cozy stay, the house was clean and tidy. The trail and downtown was within walking distance, we enjoyed there being outdoor activities to do within the home as well. Highly recommend booking here, will most definitely stay here again in the future.

This property was perfect for our family fall get away. Everyone had plenty of room and enjoyed all of the outdoor space. We had a fire one night and had fun with the outdoor games. We appreciated the different seating areas outside. The property is close to Helen, and we enjoyed the ease of walking and not driving to town.

Labor day trip to Helen

The property was the perfect location for our weekend getaway. Unbelievable to have such a secluded and private location and basically be right in town! Short walk to everything and great outdoor spaces at the house! Would definitely stay again.

Cozy, private home, easy walk everything.

This is the perfect property nestled just above town. Very easy walk anywhere you want to go and a nature enthusiasts dream. The host were great and do all possible to add any comforts needed. We will be back, loved this beautiful older gem tucked perfectly into Helen GA’s history.

Our annual Mother Daughter Trip 2025 was wonderful here! The location is absolutely perfect. This older home is quaint and charming, and conveniently situated with walkable access to shopping, restaurants and attractions. Nicely decorated, cozy fireplace, in a lovely park like setting. The outdoor space includes a firepit, TV, and screened in patio area. Ideal for those seeking the great outdoors and hiking trails. Many vineyards and wineries close by too. Will definitely return!

Very cozy place. Nice seating area outside to watch tv. Well lit at carport and back. Last place on the road and felt very private. We’d definitely return to this spot.

This place had a really good outdoor area...however, it is not a block away from downtown like the description states it is. I rented this house specifically because it stated that the walk to downtown was a block away. It is a steep walk down a mountain and up. I was without a ride due to my husband going to work and I could not walk the steep mountain to town with my special needs daughter. We decided just to leave a day early due to the misconception of the walk to town and the second bedroom bed being so uncomfortable...I could not sleep good and every time I turned over...it made such a loud noise that I woke my daughter. We wont be back.

Great location!

House was clean and as advertised. Perfect location for privacy but right in the middle of downtown Helen activities. Small park and hiking trail both right outside the door.

When we got there the smoke alarm battery was chirping. The host had one sent over right away. I recommend not arriving in the dark. It’s in a secluded place and it was hard to tell if we were in the right place. It was very nicely decorated for Christmas. The beds were way too hard for me. I slept on the couch. If you don’t like hard beds, bring a mattress pad!!! The area is beautiful!!

A great location. House was very clean Far enough away to be out of the hustle bustle but close enough to be able to walk to town. House was set up nicely. We enjoyed sitting on the back patio watching the leaves fall. Would stay here again

Loved the location !

We loved the location of the property surrounding with trees and nature. Loved the short walk to downtown area and to hiking trail that is right outside of the house. One little improvement needed is to fix master bathroom shower drain, water drains very slowly and you end up standing in a pool of water even after quick shower. But we would definitely come again.
