    It’s a cute little house packed with all the necessities you need for a weekend in Helen. It’s far enough away from the main streets to be able to get a good nights sleep but close enough to walk everywhere in a couple of minutes. Just a word of caution for the guests who’d like eat at the house: the dining room table is sort of squished in the corner so once someone is sitting down, the kitchen is blocked. … but honestly, you’ll find great restaurants for breakfast, lunch and dinner in Helen anyway so we never really used the table.

    My husband and I recently visited Helen Georgia and stayed this cozy little VRBO. It was perfectly located one block off the main road, making it an easy walk to all the lovely little shops and restaurants. We arrived a little early and had the opportunity to meet our host who was so very nice and welcoming. This is definitely one of my favorite places that I have stayed. Everything we needed was available and we will definitely be going back.

    My daughter came from southern Georgia. I came from Hendersonville NC. We met in one of her father's favorite places, Helen to celebrate his life 1 year from his death. We miss him terribly but were able to have fun, share love and do it in the sweetest little cabin ever, except maybe the one next door. I love your places and hope to celebrate my husbands life some more in the future. He was from Germany and we spent long weekends here just to be togehter,

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.

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.
