Weeken in Helen, GA
We had a small snafu when we checked it but the host was on top of things and took immediate action to rectify the issue. It rained a lot while we were in Helen so we stayed in a bit more until the rain cleared up. The unit was comfortable and very spacious so we did not mind hanging out in the condo/townhouse. It was completely renovated and immaculate. Having 2 1/2 bathrooms was so great! Although it was just my husband and I, we each had our own bathroom. The 1/2 bath on the first level was very convenient. I will definitely stay there again since I know what to expect. Extra credit to the great host James. He knows the meaning of hospitality.

Fishing the Soque
Everything was fine. Very comfy and clean. My only issue is the cumbersome process to commit our checkout with VRBO or the host. Should be much easier.

Basic, new, clean
Super easy to find, easy check in and lock box. New townhome, very clean. It is just a 2 bath not 2.5–not a game changer but no bath on first level. Smart TVs in every room but whatever apps are on there are what you get—can’t add Netflix or any app to it without the pin and when I asked for help James said the owner is the only one with the pin. Comfortable furniture but no throw blankets to really get comfy on the couch. Bedroom beds are comfy, many outlets. Shower is super low water pressure, but does the job. Walls—like any townhouse—are super thin. You can hear the crying baby in the house next door. Bring a sound machine. The flood light in the front came through the window in the front bedroom and kept that room lit all night. Wish there were some curtains to block it. Overall, nice place. Just very basic.

Great Spot for Helen
Property located within walking distance to Main Street. Easy walk to restaurants. Property was clean and looks like newly renovated. Had an issue with getting the key out of the lock box but contacted the property manager and someone was there within 10 minutes to get us in. I received a call from Lynn and she apologized for the inconvenience and made sure we were setup with wifi.

Christmas getaway
We enjoyed our stay at this very clean & quiet condo. It was stocked with all the basic necessities & the Christmas tree was a wonderful touch! The king size bed was very comfortable which was so nice after hiking all day & walking the streets around Helen each night, We would definitely stay here again.

Location
Great location, able to walk to downtown. Very, very clean. The property manager helped me getting the key out of the lockbox and inspected the home for cleanliness. Everything was in great shape. Would be a great place for a longer stay.
