The location was perfect. Communication was very fast. We loved looking out at the river in the mornings. It was very nice to have a designated parking space in a busy area where you have to pay to park in public parking. We don’t always love the bed where we stay, but we loved this one! It was so comfortable and we didn’t wake up with achy backs or necks. A lovely stay for sure!

We loved our stay at River Life! It was a wonderful location and we were able to walk everywhere with our two babies in the stroller and leave our car at the property which saved us from having to get in and out and pay for parking. The condo itself was very clean and spacious and the screened in porch with the river view was perfect for our little crew to hang out on and enjoy. We loved walking to the playground to get our energy out and it is just a short stroll from the property. We will definitely stay again!

The condo couldn't be more perfectly located to enjoy your visit to Helen. We especially loved the porch and watching the folks float by on their tubes. And even though there are many restaurants to enjoy within walking distance, the kitchen was so well equipped that we grilled out and cooked dinner with our friends one night. Highly recommend this condo if you are visiting Helen.

We stayed here while our kids went to summer camp for the week. It is a perfect location to enjoy everything north George has to offer. Condo is very clean and even better than what is advertised. Communication with the owner is prompt. Check in and check out was very smooth. We will definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Lamar & Kimberly McCoy

Host profile image
My Wife and I have loved Helen and the river for many years and decided to make this our second Home and share it will friends and family. We are the owners and been hosts for almost 5 years and really enjoy being a Host and knowing our guests are enjoying our home! We just listed another wonderful 2 bed room 2 bath property in the same building so you can bring even more friends and family please inquire so we can check the calendars!!

Why they chose this property

After many viewings we decided on this home because of the location, unobstructed views and being in down town HELEN making it close enough to walk. It also has an elevator for our older family members. In our opinion the best maintained property of this type in Helen and have admired it for years. The property had a new roof installed in 2021 and the exterior of all the building just painted in late 2023. All our owners love their properties and it shows!

What makes this property unique

Has an elevator for those that do not like to navigate stairs, it is right in downtown Helen so it is within walking distance to everything and has private river access and a screened in deck overlooking the River that we Love!
