This place has become our preferred spot in St Helen for our RZR trips. Basically a straight shot to the trails with a gas station along the way! Wide open floorplan… washer and dryer help tremendously so you can pack a little lighter and the garage is a huge bonus to park the machines at night. We made friends with an orange cat during our trip in April and he stopped by to say hi again this time : ). Already planning a trip for October!

House was exactly as pictured. I was nervous bedroom one pic was the front room but there is a room with a large closet on the first floor Lol! Futon in front room. Place was clean and spacious. We were very grateful to be able to bring our dogs who enjoyed the trip. Yard was big. We didn’t use them but fire pit and grill were available. Place was close to our family. AC helped us cool down and sleep at night. Thank you!!

St Helen House
The house was clean, but it only provided the bare minimum in supplies. There were not enough washcloths. The kitchen was really lacking in supplies. Only a couple of pans. No aluminum foil or Ziplocs. No coffee was left behind. The yard was mowed, but the lawn was covered in cut grass, not raked. There wasn't any light in the garage. It served its purpose, but I was not very impressed overall.

Nice place but was not very clean. Had to buy sheets to cover the couch because it was so dirty and stained. A lot of dog hair on the floors. There is only ac up stairs and most of the windows would not open. It’s a cute place but could use some tlc.

Not the home for families.
The rental was clean but very sparsely outfitted . Especially for some one that wants to cook. The kitchen had very few things available to cook with. Had to go out and buy a canopener and sharp knife that wasn't a chef's knife. The dryer vent was disconnected and discharged into the house. My husband fixed it.The sheets were questionable if they were clean. Pulled the blankets back and the sheets were all rumbled like someone had already slept in it.We had difficulty connecting to the wifi. . I texted and sent a message thru VRBO but never got a reply.. We finally figured it out.This place would be good for a group to stay at for a hunting or riding trip that just go out to eat or order outWe were very disappointed after reading the great reviews

Nice weekend stay
I really enjoyed my stay here. The property was just as listed. The house had everything you would need. The king size bed was comfortable.The check in process was simple as can be. The location was perfect for hitting the trails and going into town for restaurants or gas/groceries. The driveway was large and paved. I would definitely stay here again

Our go to place in St Helen
We have stayed here multiple times now. Perfect for two couples coming up to ride our RZRs. The washer and dryer are great & allows us to pack light. We even had a visitor each day (an orange cat!) who was super sweet and loving. We will always look to rent this place first!

Deer Hunting Vacation
I had a great time but, deer just did not cooperate with my hunting them lol. found out cabin did not have a supply of trash bags of any kind or size. which was no Biggy as trash bags are cheap. Also, cabin has no toilet plunger, but Dollar General just down the road had them, also found out toilet hold down bolts were loose on left side, but found no leaks at toilet base. Furnace works great, but is hard to regulate. had it at lowest setting, but still too hot, kept back door open a little bit part of the time. but over all it is a great place to stay with a lot of parking for boat or ATV. yes i would stay again. has a lot of room for a party of 6-8 .

This property is a joke
Had a death in my family. Tried to contact this property owner multiple times before my rental with no reply. All I wanted to do was change my dates. Then after my rental still no contact so I call Vrbo customer support. 4 weeks later I still haven’t heard back from anybody. At this point all I really wanted was some acknowledgment.SMH

Great place
Very nice place, has some street appeal. Quiet neighborhood. Enjoyed the deer and fawns going through in morning and evening. Didn't use upstairs bedroom since it was just my wife and I. Close to town, could walk to convenience store and market was only a little farther then that. Sam's is a great place to have breakfast. Gas at grocery was a dime cheaper then other stations in town. All utensils available, washer and dryer were a nice addition. Was surprised that grill was clean and new, well kept. Overall we were able to relax and enjoy the place.
