*NO SMOKING INSIDE.

*Up to May 15th of 2025 construction works will likely be taking place on next door property, during the weekdays only. New bungalow is framed up and any noise would more than likely be on the inside at this point in time. However, there could be occasional noise from 8am-7pm {Monday to Friday}.

* Georgia Bungalow has had many upgrades during the last month, which are not reflected on pictures or videos … will update those soon. Check out our videos of property on Facebook @ Helen Bungalows - downtown convenience on quiet, back street.

Approx. 30 - 50ft (across the street) just before, at end of fence and at the old bridge, provides access to Chattahoochee River & fly fishing paradise. The rocking chair front porch is a favorite and offers some views of the river. Save on parking by staying with us downtown. Walk to downtown shopping, liquor store and our famous Betty"s Country Store (IGA) for groceries. Walk to our many restaurants including Paul's Steak House (on the River) where you can dance the night away at Paul's Margarita Deck with live music and seasonal karaoke. Enjoy the indoor Fun Factory with skating rink, go-carts, laser tag, bouncy house & arcade on sunny and rainy days. Water park & tubing during those warm summer days and don't forget the zip lines and rollercoaster, one of our favorites. Helen offers something for everyone.

Awesome location!

My lovely wife and teenage sons stayed here, their was plenty of room for all of us, property was clean and well kept but the shining star of this place is the location. 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.

Great Getaway

The location was great, easy to walk to everything. We had a great weekend getaway with 2 teenagers who enjoyed their time as well. The home was clean, well stocked and very comfortable. We never got the fireplace to work but it’s not something we missed.

Prefect for our Family

The house was clean, great location, and a good value. Stayed here with our teen and fur baby. Loved that it was close to everything. Parked the car and didn't move it until we left. The house was very clean and it was really nice to have room to move around when we were there as opposed to being stuck in a hotel room. Will definitely be coming back.

We had an amazing time. The cottage is perfect as everything you need. The best part is how close it is to town where you can just walk everywhere. We did some stuff outside of Helen like hiking and ATV rides and all of those were wonderful too we will definitely be back.

Oktoberfest get away

My husband loves to come to Oktoberfest for his birthday. This is the first year that we stayed within walking distance of most of downtown and we are now spoiled. Would definitely recommend this bungalow. Very clean and nice. The host was quick to return our messages. Best part… I could bring my little Morkie 🙂

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this location! House was clean, had everything we needed, and owner was very responsive. Fantastic location with access to most everything you could need or want. The river is across the street where you could see people tubing down the river. Hiking, ziplining, and wineries all within about a 10 min or less drive. Highly recommend and would stay here again in the future!

Catching the end of Oktoberfest

Location of this property is excellent walking distance to the town. Would be great in summer because river is right across the street. My traveling companions claimed that their beds were not very comfortable. And due to my age, the toilet was quite low, but I managed. Altogether most everything was excellent. Excellent host, cute quaint setting. Home had everything you need for a good vacation.
