Great stay. Everything was clean and spacious enough for 7 adults. For me it was the best stocked kitchen with pots, pans, plate, cups, utensils, etc… of any VRBO I have ever stayed in.

Fantastic riverfront home walk to Helen!
We loved this home so much! Being right on the river was amazing and we walked to several restaurants and shops while there. The two Queen bedrooms downstairs were almost identical for the two adult couples which was great. The room upstairs with two full beds was perfect for me

Fun for everyone!
There is something so soothing when you awaken to the sound of river water. This house was so relaxing. The big porch facing the river was great to sit and relax. For cooking on site there are plenty pots,pans and dinnerware for our group. This is the best ever location, house and vaca for us!

Thanksgiving 80th birthday
It was the perfect property to enjoy family and celebrate a special birthday. Family living in the area could drop by and visit. Living in Texas it was a special time. We were away from the hustle and bustle of Helen, but only a short walk to enjoy the festivities. Being Thanksgiving week, it was quicker to walk than drive and pay for parking. Was even able to visit family graves in Tocooa. Hosts were so accommodating and provided many amenities.

Wonderful Home right on the Edge of Historic Helen GA!
Our Christmas stay was fantastic thanks to this wonderful waterfront home, tastefully decorated for the season. Our host was extraordinarily responsive during the extreme cold snap (single digits!) and did his utmost to keep the heating and pipes operational. The house is perfect for a large group and had everything we needed. The "elder accessible" nature of the home was a huge help for the grandparents. Very quiet area and horses across the street were lovely. Town is right around the corner, literally. Couldn't be better. Thanks for making our family gathering a success!

Fun convenient family spot right on the river
Awesome family spot right on the river with plenty of games and outside spaces. We had a wonderful family get together and the nephews loved it! The kitchen was very well equipped with a nice gas grill as well. We all said we hope to make it back home again soon!
