The pictures on the website were accurate. The property is in a perfect location. It was away from all the hoopla in town yet an easy walk to anything you wanted to get to. The deck was overlooking the river and was very pleasant to sit outside and enjoy the solitude. We were here in early Oct for a hiking vacation so the weather was perfect and it wasn't crowded. Several very nice dining options were very close. I would recommend this property to anyone who wants to visit the Helen area.

We really enjoyed ourselves. The condo was clean and we had river view. It was so inviting and we were in the middle of everything. We enjoyed the lazy river and the restaurants that were near by. Every place was within walking distance which was a plus. We recommend this condo and we will be back for sure.
