Unwind on the covered deck watching the river and summer tubers go by, or the occasional ducks and people fishing. Riverside Relaxation and the charming Alpine town of Helen both offer so much including the feeling of home. Our place is a great place to stay for your north Georgia get-away.

Great little weekend in Helen. The VRBO was in a great location with a good view. The condo was clean and well maintained. The location was a great selling point as it made most attractions in downtown Helen a short walk.

Property was great except for elevator being broken down for 3 days and me having to climb stairs with knee & back pain. Also for some reason the attachment for access codes did not come through nor did I have a contact number for the host. So could not access the property upon arrival, I had to call the Hotline for Vrbo to get a hold of host.

Bed was soft and comfortable. Deck was great with a view of the Chat. river. Walk to everything. Its perfect for a couples weekend getaway.

The condo was as described. In town with a beautiful view of the creek behind you. I was a little surprised that the woods behind the condo had a road on it. I thought it was just the forest. The bed was comfortable, and we were able to sleep. When I did have a question, the owners responded right away. My biggest problem was that I wasn’t able to snuggle my partner while we relaxed at home watching tv. The couch is separated in the middle and there is no tv in the bedroom. While that may sound like an insignificant thing to some, we still very much like each other and felt kept apart. The shower head had terrible pressure and leaked constantly. For $100, this experience could change for the better to everyone who stayed there. These are minor things that I'm sure wouldn't bother most people. All in all, the condo was close to town and very clean. We appreciated the service elevator, so we didn't have to carry our luggage up the stairs. It was so nice to have a whole condo versus just a hotel room. Thank you for letting us stay there. My birthday was very enjoyable and I would encourage anyone looking to stay in Helen to consider staying at this condo.

My husband and I stayed at this condo for Octoberfest and it was a great location! We parked and were able to walk everywhere in town. The Festhalle where the actual Octoberfest celebration is held is just down the street from this unit so you don’t have to walk far. We chose not to attend because there is an entrance fee and you still have to pay for any food and drink so you’re basically paying to listen to the music. There is a covered parking spot to protect your vehicle from the elements of the weather (rain or sun) which is nice. The back deck faces the water so you may see people tubing but it’s still very quiet and peaceful. The German food we ate was delicious but don’t expect top notch waiter service since the restaurants are super busy with visitors during this peak time of the year. Upon our arrival we ate lunch at the Two Tire Tavern and our server Jolene was excellent, as well as the food and German beer! We ate dinner at Bodensee restaurant with excellent food and some live music. Chef came out to greet guests while eating which was cool but don’t get dessert there, rip-off at $19 for two pieces of cake, for which there was no menu…now we know why. Mullers fried cheese cafe was perfect for breakfast…with good coffee! Betty’s Country Store is your one stop shop to stock up the kitchen since it’s the local grocery store, liquor store, winery, brewery, bakery, candy and souvenir shop. I would recommend visiting Helen, GA and renting this unit!

This is the perfect rental. Comfortably furnished, beautiful decor, pristine conditions, awesome location and peaceful deck overlooking the river. Easy walk to festhalle ( 3 buildings away), shopping area, and restaurants. The deck was a serene spot to relax after a day out. Condo had everything we needed, and the gas fireplace was a perfect ending to the day. Clear instructions on accessing the unit. Quiet building with covered parking. It really was perfect.

I loved the condo. The decor, location, and view was excellent. The knob on cold water on tub needs to be fixed(it’s loose) and I think you thought of everything that a tenant would need, except maybe pods for washing machine. That is the only thing I couldn’t find. I LOVED IT!!

This property was just as listed and then some. Everything we needed was provided. The location was great and walkable from one end of town to the other. The deck overlooking the river was great for morning coffee and afternoon tube watching. Check in was easy and host was responsive.

We loved the condo and the location overlooking the river.
A few drawbacks. The bed was too soft for my husband and I and we had to sleep on the reclining sofa in the living room. You need to replace the coffee pot. The first pot we made was full of grounds and leaked all over the counter. I loved the shower and jacuzzi tub, however I would suggest that you place rubber bathmats in both because the tile is very slippery. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay.

Loved being close to downtown and being able to walk most everywhere. The condo was cozy and clean. Enjoyed sitting on the back porch enjoying the river, wildlife and tubers. Would definitely recommend.

I really can't say enough good things about this property - it's super convenient and walkable to everything. The check in process and keyless entry into the condo was very convenient and easy! Having a dedicated parking spot made unpacking easy. The condo is the perfect size for a couple, with a huge back porch with a relaxing view of the water. The owner was very thoughtful with the placement of furniture and there is so much useful storage in every room. We will definitely be back!
