*NO SMOKING INSIDE

Up to May 15th of 2025 construction works will likely be taking place on property, two doors down. At this point, Bungalow #3 is framed and any noise would be limited to inside and on the weekdays only, However, there could be occasional noise from 8am-7pm {Monday to Friday}

*Alpine Bungalow has had major upgrades within the last month which are not reflected on pictures … we will update pics asap. Check out our video of property on Facebook @ Helen Bungalows, downtown convenience on quiet, back street.

If this bungalow is booked on the dates you're wanting, please try our bungalow next door VRBO.com/2638662 (Helen)

Bedroom 1 (Queen) Bedroom 2, twin beds, one twin trundle (closest to window) that can be moved to stationary twin to make king, if preferred. Full bath with tub/shower.
Pet friendly for our well behaved friends. Please help us stay pet friendly by picking up behind your pets outside.

Approx. 30 - 50ft (across the street) just before, at the end of fence and at the old bridge offers access to the Chattahoochee River & fly fishing paradise. The rocking chair front porch is a favorite and offers some views of the river. Save on parking fees by staying with us, downtown. Walk to downtown shopping, liquor store and our famous Betty"s Country Store (IGA) for groceries. Walk to many restaurants including Paul's Steak House (on the River) where you can dance the night away at Paul's Margarita Deck with live music and seasonal karaoke. Enjoy the Indoor Fun Factory with skating rink, go-carts, laser tag, bouncy house & arcade on sunny and rainy days. Water park & tubing during those warm summer days and don't forget the zip lines & rollercoaster, one of our favorites. Helen offers something for everyone.

Located very conveniently close to downtown. I was expecting 5 beds, but there were only 4, so one of us slept on the regular couch. Other than that, our stay was marvelous.

Girls weekend getaway

Lovely little cabin. Slept 3 adults one pre-teen just fine. Close to all the action on the main street (food and shopping). We walked everywhere. We came here for the Christmas market,which is walking distance.You don't really need to drive your car unless you go up to the castle. Cabin was clean. Queen bed very comfy. I will be back . definitely stay here again.

This place was amazing! Walking distance to town but on a quiet side street! This house is super cozy, very clean, and the best stocked house we have ever stayed in. The front porch and rocking chairs take you back to a simpler time. Will be staying here again!!!!
