Property was nice. Property contact was very friendly and helpful. We had some difficulty in locating the main gate due to GPS. Written instruction from town would have been good...otherwise, our stay went very well. We were there during the holiday and Helen was very crowded. I'd pick another time next time.

Perfect cabin for our stay! My husband hates the steep driveways, and we were so ecstatic that this one was flat! Everything was perfect for us! We would definitely choose this property again :)

This house was great! It's in a very close location to downtown Helen, but still not walkable. The hot tub and lower deck is awesome! Everything was in top shape and we would definitely stay here again!
The property is lovely; spacious, well maintained, comfortable, and clean. It is easy to get to and not steep at all. The road to the cabin are curvy as expected but very well paved and maintained. Everything at the cabin was decorated nicely. The kitchen has everything you need. The front porch and back decks are perfect for peace and quiet. The only complaint is the very loud section of floor in the bedroom on the main floor. It is more than squeaky. We managed fine with it but would recommend that being fixed when possible as it will wake up others in the house. Other than that is is a perfect place to stay near Helen. Communication with the rental company was wonderful. Very quick to respond and helpful.

There were many little things that needed to be updated. Examples, the faucets in the shower/tubs and the coffee maker was pretty gross. There was a dead plant in the kitchen. Just a lot of little things that were disappointing. Wouldn't choose to stay here again. Fortunately we went out most of the days anyway.
