Getaway stay
The area is beautiful and the weather was perfect. Betty’s and The Hofbrau had the best food. The rental house had everything we needed and was clean. The only discrepancy was the listing said there was a 1/2 bath but there wasn’t. And it was in a great, walkable area.

Great 2 king 2 bath creekside condo in walking distance of main attractions & food.
We (2 couples) wanted to stay in town and avoid the hassle & expense of parking. This condo was perfect for us. Assigned covered parking right under the building and elevator to our top floor condo were a great addition during our rainy stay. We will rent this place again!

Great Spot on the River
Lovely property, full of amenities and comfortably beds and furniture. We spent a lot of time on the screened porch above the river, listening to the rush of the water over the rocks. Convenient to everything, yet off the main road and traffic. Easily recommended. We felt at home.

First timers in Helen, Ga
We had a great experience. The condo was close to main events for Octoberfest. We parked and walked everywhere. The condo was clean and the balcony was so nice looking over the Chattahoochee River. Easy access and I would definitely recommend for two couples to stay. We had a wonderful time.

Octoberfest Fun
Fantastic location walk to everything fun! Quiet location great for sleeping. Very clean had everything we needed & beds comfortable. Like covered off street parking. Need to adjust lock on lower door hard to open & also screened porch door. Would definitely stay again!
Had a wonderful stay with family here. It had some minor issues (doors sticking or not closing), but was overall a fantastic condo for a small group or family to be right on the river and near so much of the activities in town. Highly recommend!!
