    Cindy was incredible—super responsive before and throughout our trip to Helen, GA. The bungalow was perfect for our family of four and our corgi pup. We loved that we could walk everywhere and always felt safe in the neighborhood and the city overall.We packed in so much fun: hiking Anna Ruby Falls, riding the Georgia Mountain Coaster (twice!), eating all the German food, and sampling plenty of beer and wine. We also spent way too much time (in the best way) at Betty’s Country Store just around the corner.The place itself was cozy and welcoming, with new appliances, great hospitality, and even a Christmas tree that made our stay feel extra special. We had an amazing time visiting the week before Thanksgiving. Thanks for everything, Cindy!

    We really enjoyed staying here. It was perfect for my husband, me and our 1 year old Shih Tzu. The cabin is adorable and is really close to two restaurants and the Main Street where every thing happens, but sits on a quiet street. It was stocked with most essentials needed and very clean. Cindy responded quickly when needed. We hope to visit Helen again and plan to stay here again.

    The property owner is awesome to communicate with and willing to answer any questions you many have. The little bungalow is so beautiful and clean.

    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.

    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.

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.

    Loved this little cottage. It was perfect for our family of 4. We didnt use the kitchen aside from making coffee but all of the appliances are full size, beds are comfy. Games to play and plenty of extras. I will say the Roku remote wasnt working, even after I replaced the batteries and neither of the bedside table lamps would turn on but it didnt affect our stay. We got the Roku app and made do. I'd stay here again for sure! The easiest check in/out ever too!
