The best vacation!!!

We enjoyed our vacation so much and this amazing condo was perfect for our group of 3! The location was perfect, close to everything but just outside the hustle and bustle of the downtown crowd. The host was very responsive and made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. We are very much looking forward to visiting again in the summer and tubing!

Perfect Place For Us!

This was our second year in a row at Riverlife. It’s comfortable, cozy and clean. The kitchen is very well stocked. The best part for us is the location. The view is beautiful and we can easily walk to our favorite shops and restaurants. The host is very responsive and we really enjoyed the Christmas tree and decor.

Beautiful condo

The place is perfect. Great location, beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The only thing that went wrong is the fireplace seemed to be out of gas and wouldn’t light. We are from Florida so that would have been nice when the temps dipped under 40. But that was minor everything else is say was a10.

Great way to kick off Fall-at a GREAT VRBO

Everything was perfect. This place is updated, clean and welcoming. I cooked while there and it was laid out logically and had everything I needed. Coffee on the back deck is a must, the river rolling by along with the high chairs provided a great view of nature as we were welcoming Fall. Great Master bed and slept better than we do at home. All the little decor touches are charming and not overwhelming. High recommend if going to FestHall-it's so close!

Our Third Year At This Place

We have stayed three years in a row at this location. It would be difficult to find a better place to stay and visit Helen GA. It is the perfect location to the fest hall and everything else. We plan on staying here a fourth year!

My family and I loved this property!

My family and I loved this property! It's 150 yards from the Helen Festhalle, where the "Official Oktoberfest" is held, and 20 yards from the river. The Festhalle is full of beer, and the river is full of fish! My wife and daughters enjoyed the short walk to everything Helen offered. Christoff’s is right around the corner, and it was a hidden jewel. The house was spotless, nicely furnished, and had everything we needed. The River behind the condo was full of Brown trout and was great for casting. It's the perfect place to explore everything Helen has to offer. The hosts were great and quick to reply to any messages I sent them, and they were very good and kind people. I highly recommend this property and will be going back.

Property location was perfect. Within walking distance of all of Helen. We were able to park the cars and not have to deal with them until time to leave. Unit provided everything we needed. Lots of room. Master bedroom has tall bed. My 5'2" wife had to get inventive on getting in it.

About the host

Hosted by Lamar & Kimberly McCoy

Host profile image
My Wife and I have loved Helen and the river for many years and decided to make this our second Home and share it will friends and family. We are the owners and been hosts for almost 5 years and really enjoy being a Host and knowing our guests are enjoying our home! We just listed another wonderful 2 bed room 2 bath property in the same building so you can bring even more friends and family please inquire so we can check the calendars!!

Why they chose this property

After many viewings we decided on this home because of the location, unobstructed views and being in down town HELEN making it close enough to walk. It also has an elevator for our older family members. In our opinion the best maintained property of this type in Helen and have admired it for years. The property had a new roof installed in 2021 and the exterior of all the building just painted in late 2023. All our owners love their properties and it shows!

What makes this property unique

Has an elevator for those that do not like to navigate stairs, it is right in downtown Helen so it is within walking distance to everything and has private river access and a screened in deck overlooking the River that we Love!
