This two-story luxury home has so much comfort and character, you and your party may never want to leave! This forest villa hosts lots of modern amenities that you're going to love, from the jetted tub to the game room and pool table. Enjoy that first-morning coffee out on the spacious deck overlooking the neighboring golf course then put the full kitchen to use to cook up a big mess of pancakes for friends and family. The large living area provides all the space and seating you'll need for movie night on the flatscreen TV, and the upstairs loft is just the place to get in a good book by yourself. After a day of exploring the Helen area, take a dip in the private hot tub to relax those tired limbs. And since this home is dog-friendly, even your canine companions are welcome to join in on the fun!

Fantastic spacious house. Great location in Helen.
We had a great, brief stay here in Helen! The house is very comfortable and well maintained. It was very clean. Would stay again for sure! We didn’t receive the docusign document for gate access. We had to reach out to Vacasa to get that after arrival. You cannot get gate passes /access without completing that. Other than that hiccup, our stay was fantastic!

Beautiful home perfect for large families
The house is beautiful and the location is perfect. We loved having a pool table to play on and for everyone to have their own space. Our only issue was that the hot tub didn't work properly and this was one of the reasons we booked this house. We would absolutely stay here again if they got the hot tub fixed.

Great place, nice location.
Beautiful views, nice neighborhood, really close to Helen. Very clean, with a well stocked kitchen. Plenty of bathrooms, and great parking situation. My only complaint is that the hot tub was ice cold when we arrived. We had kids that wanted to get in, but with a 4pm check in, there’s no way it’s going to be warm the first night. It really never got to the ideal temp. We could barely get it above 100degrees. Also, there are two identical bunk rooms downstairs. That’s hard to see in photos, because they are truly identical. But they are nice, with full bed on the bottom.

Quiet and convenient
The house is beautiful and spacious, just as pictured. We had three families (six adults and three children) and there was plenty of room to spread out across the three floors of the house. The deck was perfect for spending time together, and I was surprised by how quiet the neighborhood was. The neighboring houses are spread out, which made it feel very relaxed and private. This was extremely convenient to downtown Helen and we really enjoyed our stay.

Great house for a big group! There were 10 of us and we had a great time! Our only complaint was the internet was VERY spotty and that was how you watched TV. Other than that, great time!

Vacasca
The property was as described. Large home. Close to the town of Helen. Is superficially clean. Could use a deep clean. Great hot tub. Great game room. My interaction with Vacasca was not good. I sent questions before the trip with regards to kitchen supplies and got, what seemed to be, automated responses. I wound up taking unnecessary items. The check-in process was not smooth. My name was not in the list at the guard house. Fortunately he allowed us to enter. We had a question with how to get the front door code to open. I called Vacasca and got a response 2 hours later. Fortunately we had figured out how to open the door. Note: Once the code is entered, both door handles must be turned in order to open the door. Bottom line. House was good for our 3 days trip, but I will not rent another property that is managed by Vacasa.

Not only does Helen, GA have tons of activities for everyone, this home had tons of activities for everyone. Pool table, corn hole, poker table, board games, and a hot tub. Adults stayed upstairs and teens enjoyed downstairs. This was the best VRBO property we have rented!

Excellent Helen, GA, house and location
This house was perfectly suited to our family of 10 (3 couples with 4 small children under age 5): bedroom spaces accommodated all of us very nicely, and the common areas were just right for all of us. The location is close (about 3 miles) to Helen, which is a terrific place for family visits, with a well-done Bavarian theme, fun places to eat and to play. The regional waterfall hikes were great for all of us.

A Cozy Getaway
The house is cozy in all the right ways. The living room is intimate, the dining spaces were spacious (great for board games and lots of people to sit). The pool area downstairs is a great hangout space. Each bedroom has it's own on-suite bathroom, plus there are two half baths. My only suggestion is that, while it may sleep 12, it's probably not big enough for 12 to be comfortable.
