Everything was clean when we walked in. Aside from some lady bugs that made their way in from the cold snap. The rules were very clear for check in and out. They have a courtesy call after we checked in too. Great experience. Will be back.

Overall property was just o.k. it did have few notable issues. Driveway was hard to navigate (Chevy 2500 truck) due to evergreen tree partially blocking access, fan in downstairs bathroom did not work, one of the kitchen outlets did not work, door to deck was really hard to close and lock. Downstairs bed was like sleeping on cardboard. The property is crammed next to two other units with 5 ft or less between the units. Add says within walking distance of shops and restaurants, while technically true, most of the this was over a mile away. Deck needed paint and included two really cheap chairs and no table for coffee. I rented this place to sit by the river. There were no chairs and no fire pit, but area did have a no trespassing sign and rental sign. Also, my view across the river was three drainage pipes and a closed water park. The add did not really describe the property. This is my first rental thru VRBO and maybe I expected too much.

Cabin is adorable! Cozy and close to everything. Could use new mattresses tho, they’re not very comfortable. You can even see intentions after removing the sheets. Otherwise it was perfect!

Location, property and listing was as advertised. 2nd visit to Helen and this time was for Oktoberfest opening ceremonies. Had an awesome time. Property is located on the river and is definitely a BONUS to wake up to the sound of the running water. Property as described in advertisement and met all our needs. Living room TV, and bedroom TVs remotes were inoperable upon arrival. We purchased (expensive) batteries and were able to get the bedroom TVs to operate using remotes. However, not joy on the living room. Property Mgmt made a visit and attempted to get remote to work but, again, no joy. No biggie. We survived. Not so mych a negative as a testament to the property mgmt folks making the best effort. Now, my one dislike; there is a camera mounted (wirelessly) at the entry of the house. Not cool. I do NOT need to feel I am being monitored by outside people, and I pay for the rental and have an expectation of privacy. I have legal standing and DO NOT consent to the video monitoring or the publication, retention or use of any videos that contain my likeness. For this, and this alone, I will NOT be returning to this property. If you don't mind the camera pointed at the front door, then I would recommend the property for its location alone.

Excellent location. Easy to check in. The office is very responsive. There is no dining table-eating is done at an island. Well stocked kitchen overall, but no lids for the pots and pans and missing some items like potato pellet and masher. A gas grill was a nice touch.

This cabin is in a beautiful area and was mostly clean. Someone that stayed there prior to us had a big fire in the fireplace and there was a thick coat of soot on the front of the fireplace and mantle that would leave black marks on you or your clothes if you got anywhere near it. They leave you nothing to clean with other than a couple pods to wash dishes. The doors stick terribly and the back door is almost impossible to unlock. The furniture is in need of refreshing and is uncomfortable. The mattresses were comfortable enough but the pillows are flat and hard. You are more than a mile from downtown area so bring your walking shoes if you want to go to the shops without dealing with the heavy traffic.

Memorial Day weekend

A beautiful cabin right on the river. The only drawback was the steps going up and down, but we managed.Too bad the weather wasn't warm enough to get in the river. Enjoyed watching the ducks and geese. Also response was quick on a few minor things I had to call the office for. Also thank you for the cleaning crew turning in my necklace and Georgia Mountain Rental contacting me about it. God Bless you!

A Short Stay in Helen

Very clean, great response from management. Hal was very good so was Tim. Wrong key code. Porch and steps were in need of repair. Kitchen appliances need upgrade also the couch and love seat. No where to eat for 5 people, no dinning room table. Could be a fold down in replace of bench. No rinse capability in the upstairs bathtub. Would not want to be there in summertime with waterslides right across the river. No firepit. No outside area by river. Neighbors too close!
