About this property

Downtown Helen House on 4 acres adjoining Unicoi State Park. Hikers Paradise!!!

Small peaceful 2bd/2ba house overlooking downtown Helen. House is situated in downtown Helen next to Unicoi Hill Park and boarders Unicoi State Park. Trail to Unicoi State Park Lodge is right out the back door, take your fishing pole lots of streams along the way.
Nighttime you can settle in the yard chairs and enjoy the view of the downtown lights.
This is right in town and is situated on 4 acres so a lot of privacy but
just a block to downtown Helen.

Really enjoyed this property. The house is a bit dated in some regards (mainly electrical), but nothing significant. The location is great for a stay in Helen and that made for easy access to the places we wanted to go. Good communication from the host and no real issues at all. Will definitely look here first if we are planning to be back in the area.

We enjoyed our stay here! It was very clean and cozy. The mattress themselves are comfortable, however the bed frames in both bedrooms were extremely loud. Every move you made it felt like the bed was going to fall apart. Other than the loud bed frames, our stay was pretty wonderful here! Would love to stay again!

This place had a really good outdoor area...however, it is not a block away from downtown like the description states it is. I rented this house specifically because it stated that the walk to downtown was a block away. It is a steep walk down a mountain and up. I was without a ride due to my husband going to work and I could not walk the steep mountain to town with my special needs daughter. We decided just to leave a day early due to the misconception of the walk to town and the second bedroom bed being so uncomfortable...I could not sleep good and every time I turned over...it made such a loud noise that I woke my daughter. We wont be back.

Disliked: Communication
Communication was horrible. Excuses were made. That doesn't change the fact that questions were ignored for weeks. The oven is sketchy we discovered very late the evening of my birthday it was heating back up hubby was looking around trying to figure out breakers. We waited until the morning to call but the voicemail was full. He made excuses we sent messages at late or early times that doesn't explain a full voicemail or that we didn't get responses for weeks a key question was if there was a grill. No response so we packed a griddle. They "fixed the oven" it would go off but I question if fixed properly because the warning light kept going on. 3 of 4 people staying not me complained about the pillows they found them unusable which no one told me until after checkout.Old wiring hard to find a 3 prong outlet. Very steep walk we had elderly people with us. Overall a good place lots of firewood and space but was really a hassle being up late trying to figure it out. My husband who dealt with it was dealing with back issues and being sick enough he had been at ER prior to this and dealing with a loss of sleep to get a reaction it was early when you called we didn't call at midnight when dealing with this a bit of a bummer on my bday. Lot of potential if you don't need an oven or 3 prong outlets. what we dealt with was ridiculous and not fun when hubby had been very sick and was struggling with back issues. Also claim 10 am checkout yet listing says 11.

Response from VrboOwner on 1 August 2026
These people were on the top list of terrible renters. There was nothing wrong with oven, they unplugged it. The light bulb was burnt out in the kitchen and we came and fixed it that day. There are numerous 3 prong outlets in the house Don't think they should travel if you have a very sick person that "ruined your trip". Helen has lots of hill and If she would have told us they were not fit to walk or sick I would have told her to drive into town,,, It's a block...... We contacted them multiple times during their stay and even came to them and brought them items we shouldn't have to provide. Any complaints they had we addressed No we would never rent to these people again

This property was perfect for our family fall get away. Everyone had plenty of room and enjoyed all of the outdoor space. We had a fire one night and had fun with the outdoor games. We appreciated the different seating areas outside. The property is close to Helen, and we enjoyed the ease of walking and not driving to town.

Our annual Mother Daughter Trip 2025 was wonderful here! The location is absolutely perfect. This older home is quaint and charming, and conveniently situated with walkable access to shopping, restaurants and attractions. Nicely decorated, cozy fireplace, in a lovely park like setting. The outdoor space includes a firepit, TV, and screened in patio area. Ideal for those seeking the great outdoors and hiking trails. Many vineyards and wineries close by too. Will definitely return!

Weekend getaway

The home was very easy to locate and check in was very smooth. It was a very cozy stay, the house was clean and tidy. The trail and downtown was within walking distance, we enjoyed there being outdoor activities to do within the home as well. Highly recommend booking here, will most definitely stay here again in the future.

When we got there the smoke alarm battery was chirping. The host had one sent over right away. I recommend not arriving in the dark. It’s in a secluded place and it was hard to tell if we were in the right place. It was very nicely decorated for Christmas. The beds were way too hard for me. I slept on the couch. If you don’t like hard beds, bring a mattress pad!!! The area is beautiful!!

This house is in the perfect location for your stay in Helen. Main Street is easily accessible by foot saving you parking fees. It also is at the trailhead for the Unicoi/Helen trail for the hikers. The house was clean and the beds were comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked if you plan on cooking during your stay. There is both a traditional drip coffee maker and a Keurig. The bathrooms were spacious and towels were abundant and thick and fluffy. Outside, there are comfortable chairs, and an outdoor television on the covered patio, a screened in area with a picnic area, and a firepit with Adirondack chairs. Firewood is also provided. We didn't take advantage of it this trip, but maybe next time.Overall, we were very pleased with our stay and will look to stay here next time we visit.

Loved the location !

We loved the location of the property surrounding with trees and nature. Loved the short walk to downtown area and to hiking trail that is right outside of the house. One little improvement needed is to fix master bathroom shower drain, water drains very slowly and you end up standing in a pool of water even after quick shower. But we would definitely come again.
