This unit is Location Location. You can park and walk. It is a little dated but had all the necessities you need for a stay with the exception of washer/dryer. The Park and Cool River tubing are right up the road. And it is pet friendly.

Perfect location

Wonderful place to stay. Walking distance to everything. Tubing within walking distance and mountain roller coaster across the road and town not far from walking distance. Plenty of places to eat. Place was super clean. Nice to have three full baths. We took a small dog which was nice. Accommodations were great for a long weekend. Only negative we found was there was no washer and dryer but could be because they're replacing them. Not sure. I would recommend this place to my family and friends

The location was perfect for walking to restaurants and shopping. The unit was in a high foot traffic area close to stairs and entrance causing too much noise at night. Overall good value for cost.

The only thing I would suggest would be to get a tall barstool table for outside and tall chairs, so you can enjoy the view. We cannot enjoy the view because of the balcony.

Location. The 2 BR was a little dated but being in Helen knowing its an older town, our expectations were definitely exceeded. We even left something behind and Vacasa was super attentive and shipped our item out promptly. We would definitely recommend and stay here again.

Great location

The condo is in a great location! It was so easy to walk to all of the nearby attractions. It was very clean at check-in. It was very cold during our stay and the heat seemed to struggle a bit. However, the fire place was great for both ambience and warmth. It might be helpful to have runners or rugs for the colder months. The property manager and local team were fantastic in their response when the cold temps caused issues with pipes. Overall, we enjoyed our stay!

Great location

Overall it was a great spot right in the middle of town. The condo is dated and could use some updating but clean. Seating in the living area needs more relaxing seats maybe 2 love seats or even a small sectional like from IKEA since it's a smaller area.

Location was perfect (walking distance to everything). Clean and pretty much well maintained. Never found the dumpster to throw away our trash when we left. Would have been nice to have a working washer & dryer but not a deal breaker.

Disappointment is awaiting you.

There is no direct water access, the living area furniture needs to be replaced badly. The couch has a hole you sink into and the padding is completely gone in the arms. The chairs in the living area are very uncomfortable. The front bedroom has no curtains and is very bright at night even with the blinds. There is also missing floor trim between rooms that was replaced with a type of tape. There is water damage in the middle bathroom that makes it very uninviting. I would not recommend this unit if you want comfort and direct water access for your stay.

Disappointed

OK, we knew there was no washer or dryer, we can deal with that, but 1 set of towels for 5 days? Couldn't get internet to connect to our phones so we called and they had us reboot the router. This didn't work and now the bedroom TV wouldn't connect even with the saved password. Called again and we were told the tech guys were working on it. A day later we called again and they said someone would come out to fix it. Never happened. The front door has a jimmied lock so it doesn't always catch when closing the door, have to turn the door knob to make sure it is shut before locking it. Kitchen florescent lights don't turn on. Refrigerator light is not working. Grab handles to showers are missing or coming out of the fixture. Not enough silverware in the drawer. You really need a local handyman to provide reliable followup. I just didn't see any local support and when making phone calls I felt we got excuses and false promises. I'm sorry, I rarely make poor reviews but we stayed at this property a year ago up on the 2nd floor and didn't have these issues. Overall, the building is older so we don't expect perfection but everything should be in working order.

Close to everything

The floors where dirty and there was no cleaning products ,no broom no mop, the floor had a greasy sheen on it. The dishwasher would not close to start . The dryer doesn’t work so don’t wash anything because you will be looking for somewhere to dry your stuff . No batteries in any remote so you can’t watch tv . Good thing helen is a very entertaining town other wise you would be spending more money to have the luxury to watch tv. But after all that said the location is great close to everything

Never again!

Without listing every detail that was wrong with this place, I will just say I wish the pictures I took were posted. Never would have booked! I’ve been told repeatedly that the local property manager would contact us. As I now sit at home, that contact is non existent. A deep cleaning and some very unsightly repairs need to be performed. Never been so disappointed with a rental in my life! Never again for us!!!
