Visiting Helen GA
Was as advertised. Beds were comfy. It was quieter than expected. We walked and toured Helen. Fun time for all 4 of us. Suggestions- night light in bathroom, label the laundry detergent, rugs were dirty, bathroom sink doesn't drain well at all, the blinds do not cover the whole windows, you could add curtains that would fix that, dust under furniture (found dog chew & unused cigarette.

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!!!!

Perfect location!
Loved this little cottage. It was perfect for our family of 4. We didnt use the kitchen aside from making coffee but all of the appliances are full size, beds are comfy. Games to play and plenty of extras. I will say the Roku remote wasnt working, even after I replaced the batteries and neither of the bedside table lamps would turn on but it didnt affect our stay. We got the Roku app and made do. I'd stay here again for sure! The easiest check in/out ever too!

Bi-Annual Family Gathering in Helen, GA
This home was a great location for us. Our oldest son and his wife stayed next door at 290C, and our other son and his family stayed in a home across the street and on the river. This made our stay very convenient. The kitchens are a little small in both 290A & 290C, but unless you are planning on during a great deal of cooking while on vacation, they are more than accommodating. Full size refrigerator, oven, microwave and dual coffee pots. Also, a full-size washer and dryer in both cottages. I recommend both cottages and we will stay again!

Little Yellow House
We love this little house and the one next door which we stayed in last year. We love the location being we can walk everywhere and it’s right by a little grocery store that’s perfect and has everything and also a liquor store. It’s back by the Chattohoccee River and with dogs perfect cause it’s more quiet there with not heavy traffic if people you get staying right n town. It’s the perfect spot that we plan on getting again next year when we return

Great family get-away
We had 290A and 290C next door. My household in one and my son in the other. Without a doubt, the best 4-bedroom accommodation in Helen and Helen is the best family vacation site in north Georgia.

Great location
The cabin was in a great location. Overall the cabin was nice and clean. The main recliner in the living room smelled a little like urine and seemed pretty old. We also didn’t have any toilet paper when we arrived. Luckily I had packed some with me. Other than that the stay was nice. Would just recommend updating some things.

Perfect cabin close to town!!
First visit to Helen the cabin we rented was perfect and close to town. We could walk everywhere. The gift shops, restaurants, wineries and all stores were all open for business. The town is lovely and set up like the Swiss Alps and many restaurants specialized in German foods. We really enjoyed our stay in this perfect cabin! The owners were so friendly and available for us with any of our needs. Highly recommend them!
