The location was perfect. Communication was very fast. We loved looking out at the river in the mornings. It was very nice to have a designated parking space in a busy area where you have to pay to park in public parking. We don’t always love the bed where we stay, but we loved this one! It was so comfortable and we didn’t wake up with achy backs or necks. A lovely stay for sure!

We loved our stay at River Life! It was a wonderful location and we were able to walk everywhere with our two babies in the stroller and leave our car at the property which saved us from having to get in and out and pay for parking. The condo itself was very clean and spacious and the screened in porch with the river view was perfect for our little crew to hang out on and enjoy. We loved walking to the playground to get our energy out and it is just a short stroll from the property. We will definitely stay again!

The condo couldn't be more perfectly located to enjoy your visit to Helen. We especially loved the porch and watching the folks float by on their tubes. And even though there are many restaurants to enjoy within walking distance, the kitchen was so well equipped that we grilled out and cooked dinner with our friends one night. Highly recommend this condo if you are visiting Helen.
