Cozy little gem
This place is absolutely awesome and I highly recommended booking for your Helen stay. The location is perfect. We were within comfortable walking distance to Betty’s, the liquor store, and downtown as well. This is not our first trip to Helen and we loved the condo so much we spent most of our time there. It was spotless and smelled great as soon as we opened the door. The only issue we had was the check info on Vrbo was incorrect but we got that fixed quickly with the host. We enjoyed snuggling on the couch in front of the fireplace. Bring a throw blanket to make it even more cozy. Great kitchen with everything we needed to prepare meals. We will definitely be back.

Great apartment, great location
We had a nice Christmas vacation in Helen. The apartment is as shown in pictures and was very clean. A wonderful surprise was the Christmas tree in the living room. It truly added to the stay!The beds were good, bathroom with each bedroom so great place for two couples. You see the lights of the town from the porch which was great for us. Hot tub was really nice as was grill on back porch. Helen is such a cute little town for a great Xmas break. We would definitely stay at this apartment again.

Look No Further!
The location was in downtown Helen, and walking distance to everything. The set up was perfect, beds were comfortable, both king size. The TV was even user friendly. Kitchen had everything we need. My husband loved the hot tub. It was nice for each couple to have their own private bathroom, and when downstairs, there is a half bathroom. James is an amazing host, and quick to accommodate ! I will come back and I highly recommend this place to everyone.

Great location!
Condo was in a great location with lots of space. Check in was easy once we located the key box. The instructions on how to use the box were clear & helpful, the location of the box was not but thankfully we discovered it without needing to contact host. The rental was clean & rooms & amenities were as listed. Very easy walking distance to Main Street & close enough that we could shop & bring items back to drop off & use private bathrooms rather than public toilets. :) We use sound machine apps while we sleep wherever we go so we were not bothered by noise at all. I’m very glad the wifi was dependable!
The only minor cons worth noting are simply cosmetic & these did not interfere with our stay. There was a broken ceiling fan chain so not able to adjust speed. Neither of the bedroom fans adjusted to high seemed to stay in low/medium. There was a broken knob on a lamp downstairs so it was unusable but there were several other lamps to use. The unit could also use a fresh paint job especially in upstairs bathrooms but again this is just cosmetic & would not prevent us from returning but that would make these rooms feel & appear cleaner. We would definitely stay here again & will recommend it to others especially for the convenient location.

Great Location
This property was amazingly a great location to everything downtown. Perfect location for walking the main street. There was a few minutes in trying to find the lockbox to enter. I would recommend a bit more detail on the location of the lockbox when renters receive check in information. We had to use the pull out couch for my son, however the first night after searching the whole house we were unable to find any bedding. I messaged the own and he delivered bedding set up the very next day. The ice maker on the fridge did not work and the water on the fridge was slow flowing. However, it was not a huge deal. Communication with the owner was amazing with quick response. All in all, the stay was amazing and if/when we visit Helen again this place would be on my list of a place to stay.
