It was a walkable distance into Helen. The driveway was NOT motorcycle friendly. Although short, it was extremely steep and a bad angle.

Late summer getaway
Amazing. This condo was excellent. Clean, fully equipped and the view from the balcony/porch divine. There are a few steps to maneuver so keep this in mind. The neighborhood was quiet and friendly. We walked into Helen every day, sometimes twice a day.

Loved Our Stay
We thoroughly enjoyed everything about this condo. The location on the river and distance to all of the action was perfect. It felt like our home away from home. We enjoyed the decor, furniture and the cleanliness.. everything was wonderful.

Great family get away
Christmas trip with our two college aged “kids”. Plenty of room for everyone to sit and enjoy sports on the tv or play games at the kitchen table. Sound of the rushing river while sleeping was awesome! Unit was very clean and other than needing at least one additional dish towel and a dish rag or two everything was perfect. Short walk into Helen. Would highly recommended!

Rejuvenating
Loved so much about the property and stay. Enjoyed the decks, hot tub, trout fishing while my wife could watch with a cup of coffee from the deck, great cabin feel to the townhouse, etc. Only things that were “negative” the road is narrow and has two-way traffic and the driveway is very steep. It gave my wife anxiety backing down it since the river is at the bottom.

Excellent stay!
Wonderful property! Clean, spacious (for a family of three, but even with a few more kids it would be great). The bunk beds were a favorite of our daughter! The hot tub was great as well. Condo was also decorated for Christmas which was a nice touch. The location to downtown Helen was perfect - not too close to the action to be annoying, but close enough if you wanted a (relatively) healthy walk, otherwise, a two minute drive. We would definitely stay here again!

Very nice, clean place to stay. The noise of the river was wonderful for sleeping! Great location. The only negative if there really was one was the power lines next to the property but that everywhere in Helen. Definitely will stay again and the walk to town was easy.

Sitting on the deck listening to the creek rush and watching the tubers was just amazing. The hot tub and the hammock were so relaxing. Definitely plan to return soon.
