Some of our Favorite things to do in the area around Helen…Hike the 6 mile round trip Unicoi Park trail that starts in Helen to Unicoi Lodge and back; have lunch or dinner at LaPrade’s Marina overlooking Lake Burton; relax on the Patio with a glass of wine while listening to live music at Yonah Mountain Winery; Hike the 2 mile round trip trails at Hemlock Falls or Angel Falls for a beautiful Waterfall view; walk around the cute stores of Sautee Nacoochee village; eat a Balboa sandwich (add jalapenos) at Bigg Daddy’s in Helen or get the Fried Banana Pepper rings at Clyde’s in Cleveland!

Wonderful location
Communication and friendliness of property manager is amazing. The location is wonderful! The house was clean and fully stocked with everything you could need. Such a relaxing stay for a much needed reset. Will definitely be staying here again. It is all around a 10 out of 10! Can’t recommend highly enough.

Great location
Beautiful condo , the only downside was the cleaners did not do to good of a job. The couches had toys and stuff under the cushions and there was unwrapped candy in the floor my granddaughter got ahold of 10 months old . The kind bed could use a better mattress but it was very nice and quiet . We would rent again . Very well taken care of as far as the the decor and walls etc ,

The Perfect Place to Stay in Helen
Wonderfully kept condo for guests from its walking location to everything in Helen to the peacefully flowing river right outside the bedroom windows. Clean, nicely furnished with seasonal fall decorations and very comfortable furniture. A special thanks to the staff who found and sent us our Christmas book we left behind. Highly recommend.

Perfect location and property
This rental was fantastic. It was super clean and just as advertised. It was just our family of four but it was very spacious with lots of room to spread out. The screened porch and grill were such a nice addition. Great view of the river and within walking distance to everything we wanted to do. The rental company was very responsive when we called with questions and even called us to check in to see if we needed anything. The kitchen is big with lots of counter space but only equipped with very basic supplies/utensils. If you’re staying for several days Or like to cook in, I’d suggest bringing your own spices (there was only salt and pepper) and any other kitchen staples you can’t live without. We were only there two nights so this was no big deal. Thanks so much for such a great stay.
