Great location, great host, great town!!
We met up with some family for a reunion. This was less than a mile to the city center walking. This has plenty of room and all of the essentials you need. It was nice to have a place away from the hustle and bustle to relax. Oktoberfest is a blast, I highly recommend visiting this town and staying with this host!

Need to update their locks
Their lock system is antiquated and very inconvenient. Locking a single key in a padlock hanging on a door handle is nice for realtors, but shouldn’t be used for rentals. Security code doors are much convenient for all. Otherwise, Vince place with a pleasant location and plenty of parking.

Oktoberfest in Helen!
This was a great listing! It was very clean and spacious. The location was perfect for a short 1 mile walk to Main Street in Helen. The beds were very comfortable as well. Plenty of parking and a very quiet neighborhood.

Just what was needed
The first thing I look for in a Vrbo is cleanliness! This place fit the bill- and I have high standards! Additionally- we were allowed to check in early which was MUCH appreciated! Location is great- not on the beaten path - but close enough to everything! Appreciated the Roku and ability to log into our Netflix too!!

Weeken in Helen, GA
We had a small snafu when we checked it but the host was on top of things and took immediate action to rectify the issue. It rained a lot while we were in Helen so we stayed in a bit more until the rain cleared up. The unit was comfortable and very spacious so we did not mind hanging out in the condo/townhouse. It was completely renovated and immaculate. Having 2 1/2 bathrooms was so great! Although it was just my husband and I, we each had our own bathroom. The 1/2 bath on the first level was very convenient. I will definitely stay there again since I know what to expect. Extra credit to the great host James. He knows the meaning of hospitality.

Everything was fine. Very comfy and clean. My only issue is the cumbersome process to commit our checkout with VRBO or the host. Should be much easier.

Basic, new, clean
Super easy to find, easy check in and lock box. New townhome, very clean. It is just a 2 bath not 2.5–not a game changer but no bath on first level. Smart TVs in every room but whatever apps are on there are what you get—can’t add Netflix or any app to it without the pin and when I asked for help James said the owner is the only one with the pin. Comfortable furniture but no throw blankets to really get comfy on the couch. Bedroom beds are comfy, many outlets. Shower is super low water pressure, but does the job. Walls—like any townhouse—are super thin. You can hear the crying baby in the house next door. Bring a sound machine. The flood light in the front came through the window in the front bedroom and kept that room lit all night. Wish there were some curtains to block it. Overall, nice place. Just very basic.

Great Spot for Helen
Property located within walking distance to Main Street. Easy walk to restaurants. Property was clean and looks like newly renovated. Had an issue with getting the key out of the lock box but contacted the property manager and someone was there within 10 minutes to get us in. I received a call from Lynn and she apologized for the inconvenience and made sure we were setup with wifi.

Christmas getaway
We enjoyed our stay at this very clean & quiet condo. It was stocked with all the basic necessities & the Christmas tree was a wonderful touch! The king size bed was very comfortable which was so nice after hiking all day & walking the streets around Helen each night, We would definitely stay here again.

New, but
The property was within walking distance of everything. It was new and clean, but the owner should decorate a little. It was also missing a coffee table in the living room and the front bedroom was extremely bright in the morning, it really needs dark curtains. We would definitely stay again.
