It was a walkable distance into Helen. The driveway was NOT motorcycle friendly. Although short, it was extremely steep and a bad angle.

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.

We had a wonderful stay in Helen. Only downside was the flight of stairs going to the main level of the condo

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great time staying here. Living and kitchen area were very spacious. Bedrooms also had lots of rooms with walk in closets. Decor was very cute as well. Loved all the lighting options for inside and outside! The decks were our favorite spots. We spent most our time out there and watching the river and the people tubing. Location is close enough to walk to town if you don’t mind a walk (about 10 minutes to Main Street). We walk all over, so we did it one day. Warning of a Steep driveway- which we were not used to but it got easier. It could be difficult in winter. Also be aware of lots of stairs. If you have elderly or people with mobility issues this is not the cabin for you. Carrying heavy suitcases and coolers was less than ideal up two flights. We had one issue with the AC and they had it fixed right away. Only room for improvement would be updates in the bathroom, better cleaning of spiderwebs from the high vaulted ceilings upstairs (they were getting pretty big), and some spraying for bugs on the deck. Looked like carpenter bees and/or wasps were making nests.
