Had a wonderful stay with family here. It had some minor issues (doors sticking or not closing), but was overall a fantastic condo for a small group or family to be right on the river and near so much of the activities in town. Highly recommend!!

We had such a nice time in Helen, and having such a great place to come back to after a day of walking the town made it even better. The property is in a perfect location, was clean and very comfortable, and the hosts were very welcoming and responsive.
