This was our first time visiting Helen but it won’t be our last. The rental was perfect for what we wanted…on the water so we could enjoy the sound of the river, within walking distance of restaurants and other attractions, and stocked with pretty much everything needed to enjoy our time there. Communication with the rental company was great as well. Our favorite spot was on the screened porch!

The reservation process and checking in/out is very easy and property management courteous and professional. The rental has lots of room and is furnished nicely. It was very clean. The mattress coverings in the master bedroom were uncomfortable with the bottom sheet sliding off the mattress. Restaurants and shops are within walking distance and it is located in a quiet area. We enjoyed sitting on the screened porch by the river.

Excellent location with river flowing in backyard. Home was nice and clean within walking distance to everything. Our last night was a little rough because tenants in condo above us were very loud. Also, it would have been nice to have complimentary shampoo as I had to run out to buy this.

Very nice cabin -cute bear and hiking decor and Christmas decorations still in place is a nice touch - wooden floors and comfy living room furniture make for a cozy setting - full size kitchen table and chairs - fairly quite with opportunity to sit on the screened in porch to enjoy the babbling water passing by.

Stay stared a little bad as air conditioning was not cooling. I called the office and they thought it was because it had just been cleaned and probably had not been own but as the night went on it really never cooed down. Luckily with all the fans in the rooms we made it through the night. The next morning I called and Hal came right over. He determined it was frozen up and called the service company. It got fixed around 2 pm. We have stayed in this condo for at least 8-10 years but the traffic in Helen is so bad now we may have to find another place. You can’t get into a restaurant anywhere, anytime. Hal the maintenance guy was wonderful. Oh the shrubbery outside the condo is in dyer need of trimming.

The condo was very clean and within walking distance to town. The property has easy access to the river which we sat by every afternoon and watched/talked to the tubers. The management company was super nice and handled some of our issues with professionalism. Would highly recommend.

I cannot begin to say enough good things about this rental. Very clean. Starter toiletries for everything that you needed. Comfortable beds. Close walking distance to town. The best thing was the view from the covered porch with awesome outdoor furniture. Cannot wait to return!!

Condo was very clean and well stocked . We love the condo and the river out back. The location was great. We are thinking about making a trip back and staying here if it is available.

This apartment is spacious and immaculate. The location is perfect being right on the river. Beds are comfortable. Perfect for doing laundry, grilling out and relaxing. If you are staying long term, there is no great place for your clothes like a drawers in either bedroom. Only the closet. Also wish we had a toaster as well. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

I'm giving this 3 stars across the board because unfortunately we were not able to stay here due to a sudden illness in the family. I did attempt to give cancellation notice, but I never did receive any response (I didn't anticipate any refund). This is perhaps something VRBO can improve upon.

We (two adults & toddler) thoroughly enjoyed our time together at this beautiful, spacious, peaceful creekside condo perfectly within walking distance of Helen's Alpine Village. (Saving $10 for parking everywhere). The fireplace was warm and cozy, we enjoyed lunch on the porch, and at naptime, the master bedroom was dark enough toddler-approved. We enjoyed opening the doors to the balconies for fresh mountain air into our bedrooms. 1st overnight trip with my toddler and 1st time visiting Helen, GA. The customer service team was extremely helpful when we called and prompt response time from the after hours too. We were hoping the condo would have had a recycling container. We'd highly recommend this gorgeous condo! We loved it!

We love this condo but the king bed is in horrible shape and needs to be replaced before I would stay here again. There is only one bed side table and lamp which made it difficult to read at night and no place to put anything. No lamps in the living room so you had to have the overhead lights on at night. A few upgrades and this would be one of the best places to stay in Helen.
