This was the cleanest house I have stayed in. Is so cozy and warm. My family and I loved it. Is a 2 minute car ride to downtown Helen, which we love and probably a 7 minute walk.

Concern
We really enjoyed our stay! It was very convenient to downtown and plenty of room! The only thing there was no linen for the pull out bed and none for the extra pillows, so we had to go purchase some! Other than that it was great!

The house was very nice, clean, just what we needed. We didn't do any cooking as we was there to try all of the German restaurants in Helen. Met a neighbor that was very friendly in which we enjoyed their conversation.

We have stayed here the same weekend two years in a row now and plan to do the same next year. The rate is good, the place is very nice, the surrounding neighborhood is quiet. Grab some groceries and the cottage have everything you could need. We love staying here!

We LOVED the property! It was perfect for our party. It is close to town, but not walkable. The only complaint would be the hot water for showers ran out quickly.

Cute house in Helen
The house was very cute but the layout was strange for 2 couples. The second bathroom was not close to the second bedroom. We thought we would be able to walk into Helen but the 1 mile to Helen did not have sidewalks and it was along Highway 17 which is a very busy road. Needless to say we had to drive into town during Octoberfest which we wanted to avoid. Advice - Make sure that you take shampoo/conditioner type toiletries with you. Also, very little spices in the kitchen for cooking. Thank good ness we had planned on eating out. Overall, we would stay here again but not during a busy season in Helen.

It was easy to find and get to. Not that far from Hellen downtown.
The place was nice but we are both handicapped and the bed was to high to get into. we could not figure out how to work the TV at all. There was no ice maker to be had. My wife had to use the magazine box to get in and out of the bed. Over all we liked the cottage. It was nice to sit on the porch and read.

The cottage was easy to find, impeccably clean, and in a very quiet neighborhood that was a short drive into the heart of Helen. It is super close to Unicoi State Park and Anna Ruby Falls. The house would be nice for a couple or small family.

One of the nicest property's I've ever stayed!
This property was phenomenal through and through. Such a lovely house and on a quiet street with friendly neighbors to boot. Was very clean, had everything we needed and was exactly what we were looking for. Property management was helpful and timely any time I reached out. We definitely hope to stay here next time we are visit Helen.
