The host was welcoming and kind. The house was warm and welcoming and the amenities were awesome. My grands loved being able to sleep in the same room where we heard them giggling long after bedtime! They loved the beautiful yard where they found tons of golf balls! We had a lovely time and plan to visit again!

Thank you so much for this beautiful message 🤍 It truly means a lot to hear that you and your family had such a special time. I love that the kids were giggling and making memories together—that’s exactly what the space is meant for 🥹 And I’m so glad they enjoyed the yard (the golf balls are always a fun little surprise!). You were such wonderful guests, and I would absolutely love to host you again anytime.

This has to be the best VRBO I have stayed in by far. The host was extremely detailed, attentive, and went out of their way to make our birthday celebration memorable. The house was located in a beautiful secluded golf community and was only minutes away from the downtown area. The house was very well stocked and perfect for for all of our needs. The icing on the cake was the deer that visited the backyard in the afternoons. We will definitely stay here again and highly recommend this house and host.

This property is well maintained, the house manager was more than welcoming and made sure that anything we needed was there. We did cook and grill during our stay and the house is well stocked with any needed amenities. The location is perfect to get in and out of Helen and surrounding parks, trails, & attractions. 100% would rent this property again if going to Helen. We were lucky to be able to see some of the wildlife while staying there, which was such a treat. Momma bear with cubs and a woodchuck. Our bed (king) was really comfortable and our friends said the same for the rest of the beds.Pushing a couple non-people photos from our stay a shutterbug in our group took.

We had an unforgettable stay at this beautiful mountain retreat! The home was spacious and perfect for quality family time. The hot tub was a favorite for everyone, and the game rooms kept both kids and adults entertained—especially the pool table! Evenings were magical as we caught lightning bugs and made s’mores by the fire pit. We loved watching nature all around us and were lucky enough to spot deer and even a family of bears from a safe distance. Our dog had the time of his life too! Highly recommend this peaceful, fun-filled getaway.
