The condo was very nice and spacious. We enjoyed breakfast on the porch looking over the river. Will come back to stay here again 😊
We had a very relaxing girls weekend trip. The property was in a great location, and a short walk to downtown. The hot tub, the gas fireplace, and the large bedrooms made for a cozy place to relax. We will definitely be back.

This was our first trip to Helen, Georgia and we had a WONDERFUL time. Our condo was perfect and an easy walk to the downtown activities. We loved standing on the balconies to see and hear the river. Very good experience.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The outdoor lighting added a magical ambiance and could not have been any better. The location of the property is very convenient to all the fun and especially tubing. Overall, a wonderful stay that I would highly recommend!
We thoroughly enjoyed everything about this condo. The location on the river and distance to all of the action was perfect. It felt like our home away from home. We enjoyed the decor, furniture and the cleanliness.. everything was wonderful.
We enjoyed our stay and the house. Very clean and a quiet place to rest and enjoy

We chose the cabin for being dog friendly and looking clean. It was very clean and cozy for us and our Weimaraners! The sound of the river was divine. We enjoyed walking to the downtown area and enjoying all the Christmas decor. I was quite happy the cabin was decorated for Christmas and had many comfy blankets throughout to keep warm.

Clean, great location. beautiful view. We had a blast
Amazing. This condo was excellent. Clean, fully equipped and the view from the balcony/porch divine. There are a few steps to maneuver so keep this in mind. The neighborhood was quiet and friendly. We walked into Helen every day, sometimes twice a day.
