This was the perfect place for my family to stay. The home was completely renovated and is spotless. The backyard is fenced in so our dog could run around without worry. There was plenty of room for everyone in my family. The location is great. I would definitely stay here again

Quiet neighborhood, and close to Helen

Quaint little house, with plenty of space for a family. Nice fenced in yard, with firepit. Nice patio for morning coffee and watching the birds. Would definitely recommend to anyone, who likes their privacy, though wants to enjoy the festivities of Helen.

Fabulous rental

This rental was a perfect stay. I can imagine anything that was missing. The house and property were clean and well maintained. The decor was homey and welcoming and the amenities were spot on. The little extras were so nice, like the vinyls, the fire pit, and the backyard grill. The kitchen was well stocked with all the utensils, dishes and cookware that we needed for our stay, perhaps the best stocked kitchen to cook in of any rental we have used. The proximity to the town center of Helen was convenient. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend this rental.

Great time

My family and i had a great time . The property manager is amazing . She was very helpful. The house was clean and the backyard was great for our fur babies! We had a great time at the firepit roasting smores with our kids. Their are two large dog crates and a pack and play that arn't listed on the site that was nice to have . I brought my own so it would've been noce to know that . Also i thought the waterpark would be a few minute walk but its more like a 45 minute walk . The river is across the street but its on a busy road .we have small children and didn't want to walk far with them. Everything is in very close proximity and if you feel like walking then its not to far but we drove everywhere. There is a grocery store a few minutes down the road that has everything you will need . I would definitely recommend this property !
