Willkommen Haus - Perfect Gathering Place for Friends and Family

Willkommen Haus is The Welcome House in German! Just minutes from downtown Alpine Helen, it is the perfect gathering place for friends and family visiting the North Georgia Mountains. The rocking chair front porch welcomes guests to sit and enjoy the wooded view and listen to the sound of nature.

Enter Willkommen Haus to the warmth of the vaulted knotty pine ceiling. Lots of windows make this open living room, kitchen and dining area the perfect place to bask in the natural light of day. The living room features a 65" flat screen television. Perfect size for game day! There is also a ceiling fan in this room. Please note that the fireplace is non-functional and only ornamental.

The kitchen is well equipped with a 4-door refrigerator that includes a water and ice dispenser, a beautiful large gas stove top and oven, and a stainless steel lined dishwasher. The cabinets and drawers are filled with dinnerware, glassware, cookware and all the utensils you will need. The small appliances include a standard drip coffee maker, toaster, blender and a crock pot. There are plenty of pots and pans, as well as casserole dishes to create a vacation meal to talk about. The long kitchen bar has room for 4 people, while the dining area table has room for 6. The dining area is highlighted with a chandelier and Edison or filament light bulbs.

Just outside the back door is an outdoor living space with a sofa, chairs and an outdoor firepit. There is a gas grill for those days when a barbeque is in order and a table for al fresco dining with room for six guests. Just beyond the back patio and deck is hole #15 of the golf course! Check with The Valhalla Resort and Golf Club for tee times and fees. Don't miss the spectacular views from any of the resort restaurants, too. On the main floor, just beyond the kitchen is a laundry room with a washer and a dryer, iron and ironing board.

The master king bedroom is also located on the main floor. In this room is also a dresser and chest of drawers, a ceiling fan, as well as a small television. There is even a small desk for those who just can't stop working while on vacation! The ensuite bathroom has a lovely jetted garden tub and a modern walk-in shower.

All bedrooms on the main floor, upstairs and downstairs feature Berber carpet, while the rest of the house is hardwood flooring, polished to a beautiful shine. Each bedroom also has a ceiling fan and its very own television. They are all Smart TVs with streaming channels. Choose from one of the many free channels, or bring your subscription information to sign-in to your favorite shows, games and movies. Just don't forget to log out of your subscriptions before your departure.

Upstairs is where a queen bedroom and twin bedroom are found. There is a shared bathroom with a shower/tub combination, too. Being on the front of the house, the downstairs queen bedroom receives lots of natural light. This room has a big screen television and an oversized bathroom with a shower/tub combination.

Had good communication with management company. Property was ok - missing some key items in kitchen and did not provide laundry detergent (but did provide dishwasher detergent?). Was not given wi-fi password until requested. Had some issues with water leaking in the pantry during rainstorm.

Girls Trip

We enjoyed our stay at Willkommen Haus. The house was very clean, spacious, and comfortable. Location was close to downtown Helen, just a short drive. We would give this a 10 as far as a rental. The only note I would add is we have stayed at other VRBO rentals that had more items available in the kitchen. This appeared to be a rental only home, no one lives or stays here on a regular basis so more items might be needed for cooking if you have a longer stay. But for our 3 nights we had all we need. Would definitely rent again.

Perfect Mountain Getaway

My family and I enjoyed our stay in this beautiful mountain house over Thanksgiving break. Everything was clean, the beds were comfortable and more than enough linens were provided. There were no issues during our stay. Based on some earlier reviews, we were worried that the kitchen wasn't going to be well supplied with cooking utensils and small appliances but we were nicely surprised to find a very well stocked kitchen. All of the essentials hand tools were provided, there was also an electric kettle, crock pot and plenty of pots, pans, baking dishes, cookie sheets and baking trays. The one small disappointment, is that my son never got to see a bear but can't hold the management company responsible for that. We hope to come back next year, maybe we'll see one then.

Perfect Getaway

We absolutely loved it here. The house was beautiful. The highlight was seeing a mother bear and FIVE cubs walk by one morning out back. We also saw two deer. The area was so quiet and peaceful. I was nervous driving around the curves and up the hill to the house, but probably because I’m from the flat state of Florida! It was a short distance to everywhere we wanted to go in the area. CeNita Winery was one of our favorite stops. The house was very clean and the perfect size for me and five of my friends. We enjoyed use of the kitchen and coffee maker. Be sure to bring anything you may need though- including ziploc bags or foil. My only suggestion would be adding an additional door between the garage area and the staircase up to the living room. We saw some centipedes and a frog we would have rather avoided.

Hot Air Balloon Race Getaway

Upon entering the resort, I was disappointed with the overgrowth of weeds and grass at the clubhouse and at the house itself. To me the grass needing cutting is the first thing I spot. If this is considered a luxury resort, it was disappointing. The street sign could not be seen due to tree limbs blocking part of it. My husband leaned against the front porch railing and the right side pushed out. It is not attached to the porch column. I called Sherry about it and was told someone would be out to fix it. Never was fixed while we were there. Could not use the patio furniture because they were too dirty. The furniture should have been rinsed off before arrival. There is a water hose five feet from the furniture. Inside the house was nice. A few under cabinet lights did not work. In the shower there is no shelf to put your body wash and shampoo. I had to place them on the floor of the shower. FYI, if you sleep in the master bedroom, you can hear everything that goes on in the bedroom and bathroom below in the garage. The sound comes up through the air vents. Overall the house is nice.
