Excellent communication
Loved the townhome and location to attractions. Owner of the property was very friendly and communicated throughout our stay and answered all questions. They went above and beyond, even helped with my child’s lost stuffed animal. They located the stuffed animal in the rental and had it mailed to us out of state without hesitation. Thank you!! Highly recommended!!

Perfect-Perfect-Perfect
This property will be our go-to from here on out. We (3-couples) come to Helen at least once a year—at less for Oktoberfest. The property is exactly as described in the listing. Communication with the owner/property manager could not be better. Then there’s the location…oh-my-goodness!!! Locale if absolutely ideal!! Looking forward to our next trip and definitely Oktoberfest ‘24!!!!!

Great house in Helen
The house was great but the Wi-Fi did not work we did not get the door code, when we received, the code, over the phone it was the wrong code and that took awhile to get sorted out. When speaking with the owner he was very nice and accommodating. Great location and house was very clean.
