GREAT LOCATION
We met our friends here for Octoberfest and the location was great. The owners were VERY responsive with questions probably the fastest response I have ever received. Furniture was comfortable kitchen was well stocked. the screened in porch was nice to sit on and enjoy the creek. I would stay here again. Thank you for opening your home up to us

Great way to kick off Fall-at a GREAT VRBO
Everything was perfect. This place is updated, clean and welcoming. I cooked while there and it was laid out logically and had everything I needed. Coffee on the back deck is a must, the river rolling by along with the high chairs provided a great view of nature as we were welcoming Fall. Great Master bed and slept better than we do at home. All the little decor touches are charming and not overwhelming. High recommend if going to FestHall-it's so close!

My family and I loved this property!
My family and I loved this property! It's 150 yards from the Helen Festhalle, where the "Official Oktoberfest" is held, and 20 yards from the river. The Festhalle is full of beer, and the river is full of fish! My wife and daughters enjoyed the short walk to everything Helen offered. Christoff’s is right around the corner, and it was a hidden jewel. The house was spotless, nicely furnished, and had everything we needed. The River behind the condo was full of Brown trout and was great for casting. It's the perfect place to explore everything Helen has to offer. The hosts were great and quick to reply to any messages I sent them, and they were very good and kind people. I highly recommend this property and will be going back.

Property location was perfect. Within walking distance of all of Helen. We were able to park the cars and not have to deal with them until time to leave. Unit provided everything we needed. Lots of room. Master bedroom has tall bed. My 5'2" wife had to get inventive on getting in it.

Well appointed, lovely stay
We loved our stay at this condo! It was well appointed with a stocked kitchen and nice furniture. The screened deck was awesome and again good seating outside. Everything was nice and clean. Loved the open floor plan, bathrooms in both bedrooms, and the location! Use of the gas grill was great. I’d love to have 2 sets of keys to get in, as our party was split up some days, and an interior lock that doesn’t open with the door handle. We had to block the door from our toddler. The thermostat was on a bit of a wild schedule and blasted air at night, but not sure if that was from a previous renter and it was easily fixed. Loved that the air conditioning worked well! Two in our group hit their shins badly on the bed in the master bedroom, so just a heads up to be careful there. Communication was good. I had a question when I first arrived and received a quick response. Overall, we really enjoyed this stay! It was nice and relaxing and we loved hanging out on the deck watching the floaters go by on the river.

Annual Helen Trip
Our kids go to Winshape camp for one week every summer. Once we drop them off, my husband and I stay in Helen and relax. That way we are close by if needed. This property is so nice. It’s right by the river. We loved watching the tubers while relaxing on the screened porch. We were able to walk everywhere because this condo is close to everything. We plan on staying again next summer.

This is our fourth year in a row staying in Helen Georgia for our anniversary, our second year in a row at this group of condos and our first year staying in the two bedroom. The location is perfection. There is no room for improvement, I couldn't imagine how it could be any better. This group of condos are literally on the water's edge and walking distance within a few blocks of everything that Helen has to offer. And 15 for 30 minutes drive from countless waterfalls including Anna Ruby falls and Tallulah gorge rim hike. HIGHLY recommend. It's basically Gatlinburg without crowds and without traffic.

The property was very nice and clean! I would definitely stay there again if I ever return to Helen. Matter of fact, the town was so cute and peaceful that I am thinking of coming back in the fall. My only complaints are these was not clear information on how to access the Wi-fi. Also, I was not sure if the elevators worked due to the signage and were too dispose of trash.
