About this property
Downtown & on the River, Luxury 1-Bedroom Condo
Built in 2008, this is one of the newer properties in Helen. Professionally decorated and well maintained condo in the most desirable location in Helen: 5 doors down from the Festhalle and on the Chattahoochee River. One king bedroom with gas log fireplace (two-sided between bedroom and living room), door to deck and windows overlooking the deck and river, 40" flatscreen smart TV, DVD player, bath with tub and separate shower; fully equipped kitchen granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances, bar with bar stools, dining table, living room with gas log fireplace (see through to bedroom; not accessible in warmer months), door to deck and windows overlooking the river, 46" flatscreen smart TV and DVD player, and deck with table & chairs and gas grill. Gorgeous river view from the living room, bedroom, and deck. You'll even have covered parking right beside the front door and access to a cart and elevator to make getting unpacked quick and easy.
Whether you're looking for a place to relax and unwind or a place that's in the heart of all the action, this is the place for you.
Relax & unwind: cozy up in front of the fireplace, relax in the tub in bathroom, listen to the river from the back deck, or bring your fishing pole and fish right out back. You can even walk to a number of nearby restaurants to keep you out of the kitchen.
Enjoy all the activities: walk to everything! Within 1-2 blocks is the famous Festhalle, downtown Helen, Cool River Tubing, nail salon, Pirate mini golf, wedding chapels, Dollar General, restaurants (Bigg Daddy's, Bodensee, Cowboys and Angels, Troll Tavern, Huddle House, Wendy's). You can even pick up the trail to Unicoi State Park from downtown Helen for a scenic hike or Hardman trail. Within a short drive is horseback riding, zip-line tours, historic Hardman Farms & Indian mound, Habersham winery (& others), Unicoi State Park, Innsbruck Golf Club, and multiple North Georgia trailheads can be accessed. You're also just 45 minutes away from the North Georgia Premium Outlet stores.
Right outside: condo is next to the Festhalle which offers Oktoberfest (& many other events, including bingo). Condo is near the beginning of the parade route so you can watch from the Juliet balcony on the front or go down to the street level without fighting the crowds in town. Enjoy watching the many tubers going down the Chattahoochee River in the summer time and the gentle sounds of the cool river during the cooler months.

Beautiful condo. Bed was very comfortable and the kitchen, bathroom, dining, and living room were nicely decorated. Comfortable, roomy, and the view being on the Chatahoochie were beautiful inside and on the deck Very close to downtown. Really just a block off the downtown thoroughfare.
Condo is in a perfect location with easy access to downtown right on the river! It was clean with the perfect ambiance for a long weekend for my wife and I. Highly recommend.
Wonderful amenities and perfect location are just 2 of many reasons to stay at this property. Check in was easy, and the condo was super clean and nicely appointed.

Loved the unit, enjoyed sitting on the deck watching the creek. Bring some beach chairs to sit in the creek! We were able to walk to everything in town, very convenient.
The stay in Helen was great. We have stayed at this condo several times and always found it to be clean and comfortable. Claire was great to work with and sent all the information regarding check-in a day before which was wonderful since we are three hours away.
We will definitely stay here again!
This rental was perfect! Updated unit right on the river. It was very cozy and right in the middle of lots of things to do in town! Will definitely be back!
