PLEASE READ OUR ENTIRE LISTING DESCRIPTION SO YOU UNDERSTAND EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE RENTING - THANKS!!!

A FEW COMMENTS BEFORE WE TELL YOU ABOUT OUR PLACE;
We keep things very transparent with our billing so you have no surprises when you go to pay and book your stay. We have a low $70 cleaning fee and no other host fees. The only other fee you pay is to VRBO/HomeAway and that is a fee they charge and keep. We charge a flat rate of $249 per week seven days per week and do not charge higher rates on weekends. We offer a 5% discount for weekly stays and 20% discounts for monthly stays. Note we do charge higher rates for some special times of the year such as Christmas, etc. We have been Premier Hosts on VRBO/Homeaway since 2016. This cabin has over 100 reviews on VRBO/HomeAway alone and we have thousands of reviews online with all of our 20+ properties.

Our property is a two unit cabin and you are renting the UPPER UNIT which has its own private entrance and deck. This is not a shared space inside, for example; think of a 2 unit condo on nearly half an acre of private wooded land with each unit having it's own exterior entry. You can rent both units for large groups or families to sleep a total of 8 people so just ask! The listing number on VRBO/HomeAway for the lower unit is #1391765 so you can see photos and pricing for that unit. There are some stairs leading to the cabin entrance from the driveway. Sorry, but we cannot accept any service or therapy animals due to extreme allergies in our own family. *** Note we share all the coolest secret spots and amazing things to do that 99% of tourists know nothing about with the awesome trip planner document we send every guest, plus you get 25% off your entire bill at Nacoochee Ziplining and Adventures when booking with us with our special code. Now on to our specific listing description;. Most guests find it extremely valuable for a super fun stay in Helen.

LOCATION;
The Cutest Cabin in Helen sits just off downtown Main Street and the Chattahoochee River. There is no rental home closer to the epicenter of downtown Helen than our place!!! It is the perfect mix of less than a 60 second walk to all the action right in the epicenter of Downtown Helen yet you are set back just enough for some peace and quiet and to enjoy the lovely views and nature from our multiple elevated decks. Note if you are a very light sleeper you may wish to bring ear plugs as you can hear some hustle and bustle from town on the weekends at certain times of the year. We provide a floor fan for some white noise as well. Most people are not bothered at all and it never bothers our family, but just letting you know. The Georgia Alpine Coaster is the latest and greatest attraction to Helen and is a 2 minute walk from our property. Not having to drive into town is a huge plus because of the traffic, pricey and crowded parking issues and of course not worrying about getting behind the wheel after drinking a few of those famous German lagers and stouts. Renting a place in Helen where no car is needed is a HUGE PLUS for most people!!!

THE SPACE;
The air conditioned/heated two-level cabin is 1856 square feet under air and has three separate exterior decks both covered and open offering over 2700 square feet in total of living space. The upper unit is bright and open and over 1100 sq ft in size. The home sits on just under a half acre with a large private driveway for free secure parking. The upper level also has its own separate entry with one huge bedroom connected to a very large en-suite. Part of the bathroom has a large beautiful corner Jacuzzi tub, big glass door walk in shower and sink. In addition, there is a toilet closet with access from the kitchen and the master bedroom with a second sink. The cabin has a full kitchen, kitchen table and chairs and a huge great room that is totally open to the kitchen. There is a stack-able washer and dryer for free guest usage. The upper unit has a great deck space along with an elevated private balcony. It is beautifully done, open concept, bright and airy with tons of windows with nice views. You will find it to be furnished for a very comfy stay with everything you need such as; bedding, towels, linens, extensive kitchen items, two TVs are set-up with Roku along with a specific Netflix account for our renters, Wi-Fi, deck furniture and some board games for those occasional rainy days. You can rent both units for large groups or families and that will sleep a total of 8 people so just ask! Again, this listing is for the upper unit which sleeps 4 people. It has a king bed and a queen size blow up mattress with pump for the living room floor if you bring 3-4 people.

THE DÉCOR AND VIEWS AND PARKING;
Without hesitation we can tell you our cabin is stunningly beautiful with outstanding décor and conceptual design throughout. The great room is wide open and gorgeous with beautiful wood craftsmanship and décor along with gleaming hardwood floors with custom design work. The ceilings are vaulted with sky lights giving it a bigger feel than the actual size. It is true Bavarian style ski chalet from the outside and an extraordinary updated cabin filled with charm and character on the inside. You can hear and see the river from our property. The expansive downtown views are excellent year round, but when the leaves drop the elevated views of downtown Helen below our property are amazing. There is one vehicle allowed per rental, not per guest. Also note no RV's or trailers due to steep driveway entrance.

NO SMOKING/ VAPING / DRUGS / PARTYING / LOUD BEHAVIOR OR MUSIC;
Nothing against smokers or partiers, but none of that is ever allowed in our place or outside on our property. Helen is a both a party town and a family town and we cater to families and couples looking to relax and chill. Sure have a few drinks, but going overboard is not cool with us. If you are the party group please pick another place to stay and there are plenty that do not mind that type of fun in town. PLEASE respect this or you will be asked to leave the property without a refund and/or charged extra fees for clean up, smoke removal, etc. We unfortunately now must mention this in our listing due to one bad experience with a group last year.

THE TOWN OF HELEN;
If you have never been to Helen before you are in for a treat. It is a Bavarian style town with great beer halls and bars, restaurants and shopping, nature oriented adventures and a ton of family fun activities. By law all architecture must be Bavarian in style, even the fast food joints! In addition, if you want to explore the surrounding areas the natural wonders are incredible for hiking, waterfalls, kayaking, swimming, fishing, golfing, vineyards, etc. During the summer, people tube right down the river in front of our cabin. There are larges lakes with public beach access close by and many festivals throughout the year. Helen is the 3rd most visited town in Georgia despite having only 500 full time residents.

IN SUMMARY;
Without a doubt you will not find a better location or a cuter place than ours, all at an affordable rate compared to those standard run of the mill hotels. We also send out a fantastic 10 page trip planner document to all of our guests covering everything from check in procedures and directions to the best restaurants and beer halls and surrounding adventure stuff to do, plus lots more.

Thank you for considering renting from us!!!

Great stay, nice place
We enjoyed our stay very much! Location because of proximity to downtown was excellent location next to Paul’s margarita bar was a bit loud in the evenings. We were also glad that we had a truck, as the road and driveway leading to the property can be tricky in the winter weather. Definitely a wonderful little cabin and had everything you could need for a great weekend stay. Good communication and information from the owner!

Loved it!
We were looking to stay at a place that felt like a cabin in the woods, but close to restaurants and live music. This was the perfect place!It was super clean, very nicely furnished (the bed was super comfy), and it was right in town. We were able to walk everywhere. The owners were also very nice and responsive. The listing says that you might hear noise from the nearby bar - and that is true. We forgot to bring earplugs but we were able to find some at Betty's IGA. I'm a light sleeper so I needed them and having them made all the difference. But again, we knew that was a possibility. And it wasn't people being loud, it was just the music, which was good music lol! If you are looking for the cabin vibe but want to be close to everything - you can't find a better place!

The location of the property was perfect. There was always something to do and somewhere to eat. The property goes up a hill so be prepared for a brief cardio workout walking back from the city. The inside of the cabin was gorgeous and was very cozy and well furnished. Owner left notes and instructions every where and owner communicated well and was easily accessible. Overall, wonderful stay and wouldn't mind renting from this owner again!

Cozy Place, Excellent Location
We had an amazing stay, the place is well kept and had everything we needed. The cabin location is perfect and just a 1 minute walk from downtown Helen. Everything else we wanted to visit was typically only about a 15 minute drive. There are several rules while staying at the cabin which I completely understand and none of them are unreasonable. This isnt a "party" house and it was perfect for my wife and I for a relaxing anniversary vacation. The only minor inconvenience was running out of hot water 2 minutes into a shower. We only had a neighbor downstairs one night, and that was the night. We hadnt been there all day either. This may have been a bigger issue had the neighbors been there the whole stay. There is a "quiet time" rule after 9pm, which again, no problem for us... but the margarita deck restaurant located at the bottom of the hill was blasting club music with heavy bass friday-saturday till 1am. Maybe it was just the weekend we were there, but it sort of defeats the purpose of a "quiet time" when I can call out the name of a song from inside of the cabin. I dont want to end on a negative, because we truly enjoyed our stay. You cant beat the location, the unit is very private even though you're so close to the "action", and I'm glad we chose it overall. -Jeremy & Pam

Perfect location in Helen!
We had a great stay here in Helen! This cabin is perfect walking distance to downtown Helen and all the festivities, with great restaurants close by. Excellent communication from Hosts. Property was clean and as described. The owners send very detailed instructions and recommendations, which were much appreciated. If you have younger kids with you, caution as to noise at night / there is a lower unit and it seemed easy to disturb them, although that could have been guest dependent. Would definitely recommend and would stay again! Great trip!

We really enjoyed our stay. The property is a very short walk to town. The cabin is beautiful. The bed is comfortable and the jacuzzi is relaxing. The driveway is steep and several stairs to the upper level, but it is clearly mentioned in the description. We visited some of the wineries in the area. They are all a short drive away.

Wonderful property! The location is excellent; 2-3 minute walk and you are in the heart of Helen! The unit was very clean and well maintained. The trip planner and tips that the owners send ahead of time is very helpful and thoughtful as well! The only thing to note is that the driveway is very steep; just take it slow and you’ll be fine :) Would definitely stay here again!

This property is the perfect location to use as a base for your stay in Helen, Georgia. Everything you would want to do is within walking distance except for maybe the putt putt. You might want to get in the car and drive up there, but it is still walkable. The property was clean and the owner was very accommodating, despite the fact that I had a problem with the booking website. Again, no issue with the property owner, super nice, super accommodating, and was understanding of a strange situation with the site with which I booked this through which was Expedia . Had I known it was a VRBO I would’ve gone straight there first. I use Expedia for work, so that was where I went to. Expedia caused an issue with my ability to initially get into the house and the property owner went above and beyond to help me and my two kids get in, and enjoy our stay. This house is actually ideal for couples. It worked fine for me and my kiddos, but just know that the Jacuzzi tub/shower/master bedroom are all essentially one room. The water closet is separate however. Just an FYI. Something I didn’t notice in the pictures and that’s my fault , otherwise you can sit on the deck, overlook the entire town of Helen, and pick out what you’re going to do that day/night. We actually didn’t even get in the car for the entire stay because we didn’t need to due to the excellent location. Great spot, and I’m already planning a return.
