Fun, almost peaceful. Would like to come back at Christmas!

We had a great time. Everything was a short walk away. The only downside was there was construction going on right beside our place. It was very noisy. That started very early and didn’t finish until late afternoon.We even had to ask them to please move their van, so we could get off the street.

Awesome location!

My lovely wife and teenage sons stayed here, their was plenty of room for all of us, property was clean and well kept but the shining star of this place is the location. Quiet and tucked away, close enough to hear the river, and only a 5 minute walk to town. If you stay here to explore Helen you most likely wont even need to move your car unless you are heading out of town.

Catching the end of Oktoberfest

Location of this property is excellent walking distance to the town. Would be great in summer because river is right across the street. My traveling companions claimed that their beds were not very comfortable. And due to my age, the toilet was quite low, but I managed. Altogether most everything was excellent. Excellent host, cute quaint setting. Home had everything you need for a good vacation.

Prefect for our Family

The house was clean, great location, and a good value. Stayed here with our teen and fur baby. Loved that it was close to everything. Parked the car and didn't move it until we left. The house was very clean and it was really nice to have room to move around when we were there as opposed to being stuck in a hotel room. Will definitely be coming back.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this location! House was clean, had everything we needed, and owner was very responsive. Fantastic location with access to most everything you could need or want. The river is across the street where you could see people tubing down the river. Hiking, ziplining, and wineries all within about a 10 min or less drive. Highly recommend and would stay here again in the future!
