Great home!
The owners were gracious enough to open their home to my family due hurricane Milton. It was very last minute and they were able to accommodate us! The location is amazing! We walked to everything and even went fishing in the river. So grateful to have stayed here!

Fun convenient family spot right on the river
Awesome family spot right on the river with plenty of games and outside spaces. We had a wonderful family get together and the nephews loved it! The kitchen was very well equipped with a nice gas grill as well. We all said we hope to make it back home again soon!

Would Highly Recommend
Great stay. Everything was clean and spacious enough for 7 adults. For me it was the best stocked kitchen with pots, pans, plate, cups, utensils, etc… of any VRBO I have ever stayed in.

Thanksgiving 80th birthday
It was the perfect property to enjoy family and celebrate a special birthday. Family living in the area could drop by and visit. Living in Texas it was a special time. We were away from the hustle and bustle of Helen, but only a short walk to enjoy the festivities. Being Thanksgiving week, it was quicker to walk than drive and pay for parking. Was even able to visit family graves in Tocooa. Hosts were so accommodating and provided many amenities.

There is something so soothing when you awaken to the sound of river water. This house was so relaxing. The big porch facing the river was great to sit and relax. For cooking on site there are plenty pots,pans and dinnerware for our group. This is the best ever location, house and vaca for us!

Wonderful Home right on the Edge of Historic Helen GA!
Our Christmas stay was fantastic thanks to this wonderful waterfront home, tastefully decorated for the season. Our host was extraordinarily responsive during the extreme cold snap (single digits!) and did his utmost to keep the heating and pipes operational. The house is perfect for a large group and had everything we needed. The "elder accessible" nature of the home was a huge help for the grandparents. Very quiet area and horses across the street were lovely. Town is right around the corner, literally. Couldn't be better. Thanks for making our family gathering a success!
