Excellent location, very clean, can't ask for more.

We had a great stay with our family, including goldendoodle. This was a great location, close to everything but still separated enough to not feel like you can't enjoy the outdoor area. Extremely clean place, and very easy check in/out process. Recommend to anyone!

Cozy cottage

This cozy cottage conveniently located within walking distance to all the shops and restaurants in Helen has all the amenities one could need and lots of extras. This small cabin features a river facing rocking chair front porch, two small bedrooms and a well stocked bathroom, laundry room and kitchen. Towels, toiletries, detergent, paper towels and many other accessories are provided for your comfort. My only suggestion would be to add vanity mirrors in the bedrooms since there is only one bathroom.

Great Get-A-Way

The house was spacious and a great way to get a way from the crowds. Just a quick walk to Betty’s for food or breakfast. I definitely will come back! The only I would change is the electrical plug in some work some don’t. But loves the location just the quietness of it all.

Always a great place to stay

We had another great stay at Helen Bungalows. We brought the furry babies and hiked to Anna Ruby falls. It is such a great spot. Close to downtown Helen so you can walk everywhere but a little on outskirts so it’s quiet.

This is my 3rd visit in 4 years. The cottage is very comfortable. The decor is a little rustic and nice. It's the look that i expect for a small town mountain cottage. You a minutes walking time to shopping and restaurants. I will be back for another weekend stay.

Lovely little cabin. Slept 3 adults one pre-teen just fine. Close to all the action on the main street (food and shopping). We walked everywhere. We came here for the Christmas market,which is walking distance.You don't really need to drive your car unless you go up to the castle. Cabin was clean. Queen bed very comfy. I will be back . definitely stay here again.

Not very good, old furnishings, roaches in bathroom and kitchen. Poor t.v. and not very clean. Looked as if furniture and beds were never cleaned under, only around the area's you could see. Only positive I could say is the location, would not stay here again.

Visiting Helen GA

Was as advertised. Beds were comfy. It was quieter than expected. We walked and toured Helen. Fun time for all 4 of us. Suggestions- night light in bathroom, label the laundry detergent, rugs were dirty, bathroom sink doesn't drain well at all, the blinds do not cover the whole windows, you could add curtains that would fix that, dust under furniture (found dog chew & unused cigarette.
