The parking was safe. The location was wonderful, convenient to everything and right on the river. The apartment was one of the nicest VRBOs I have ever stayed in. All around, it was a wonderful place to stay, one I would return to.

The kitchen was stocked very well. I always bring a few things of my own because I'm picky but with your kitchen items I didn't even need to. You're close enough to town that we walked a lot of times. We were the only ones there but I appreciated all your signs about being courteous about noise 10pm and 8am. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at your place. Thanks
Grandson loved the elevator lol.

Beautiful condo in a perfect location to shops in Helen. The condo is very roomy to include king beds in each bedroom. The kitchen and baths were stocked with everything you need. Parking is covered, which is nice. Our favorite part is the back screened-in patio overlooking the river. Already looking forward to booking at this location next year. Thank you to the homeowners for letting us use their perfect space!

This is our second stay at this location. Fall of 2024 and December 2025. We will definitely be back just wish animals were allowed. Everything in the condominium was great and great communication with hosts. Only problem was next door neighbors were extremely loud. They came home around 2 am on New Years after partying and we heard everything. That truly was the worst of the whole trip and nothing that we could get away from.

Getaway stay

The area is beautiful and the weather was perfect. Betty’s and The Hofbrau had the best food. The rental house had everything we needed and was clean. The only discrepancy was the listing said there was a 1/2 bath but there wasn’t. And it was in a great, walkable area.
