This home is PERFECT for a family / group trip. The private bathrooms, proximity to the water and the town, there wasnt much to complain about ! The detergent used to wash the sheets / blankets is strong, and can be smelled immediately in every room, so if youre sensitive skinned maybe bring your own blankets. Smelled fresh and clean, just irritated my skin. Even in saying that though, we 100% still plan to be back !
Cabin was all as advertised, Kitchen, Living room and common areas were well supplied, all bedrooms had their own EnSuite bathroom, plus a guest bathroom. Cabin is within walking distance of town, but far enough from the bustle to still hear the river flow.
We will be staying again once the town approved the AVF car show next year.

Wonderful Way Down Yonder!
We fully enjoyed our stay at this wonderful home! Every room is comfortable and relaxing. The location is perfect with a beautiful view. The holiday decorations were a very special, appreciated touch. So much fun!
This townhouse was perfect for our long weekend getaway. We wanted to stay close to downtown Helen and Oktoberfest but not directly in town. Perfect location if that’s what you desire, about a 20 minute walk to the edge of town. The house was clean and perfect size for 6 people (3.couples).
We loved the property and we were able to go to everything right there in neighborhood. Horseback riding was a short distance down road. The property description was on point and our neighbors were friendly.
The condo was perfect for our needs. It was wonderful having three separate bedrooms with king beds and attached bathrooms. The location was great for downtown Helen. It was so relaxing sitting on the deck overlooking the flowing water.

Great location and plenty of room
Great location, quiet and on the river. Balconies on each floor. Very comfortable couch and beds. Pool table with hot rub on ground floor. Clean and well stocked. Enjoyed our stay!
Way down yonder exceeded our expectations. It was clean, beautifully decorated and all of the furniture was extremely comfortable. The location was great as it was close enough to everything in town but far enough away to feel private. We had a wonderful time during our stay and will definitely book this property for our next stay!

We love this cabin!
This is our second year staying at A Way Down Yonder. It’s cozy and the right amount of space for 3 couples. It’s conveniently close to downtown Helen. We walked into town everyday, and the hot tub is the perfect spot to relax after a day out and about. We come back every year to celebrate our Oktoberfest tradition and look forward to our stay every time!
We really enjoyed our stay in the townhouse! It was overall clean, location and parking was great. Would have appreciated more hand towels in the bathrooms and more kitchen towels. The grill wasn’t clean enough for us to use. The views, balconies, and location was amazing, would stay again
Good location; quiet; easy to get to; good parking. Lots of room to spread out. Balconies overlooked a little river. Fire place and pool table were fun.
In the summer, this place would not be as quiet. Too close to the water park.

Great Place to Stay
Blue Creek Cabins, A way Down Yonder, was a great place to stay. Everything we needed was provided. Great views of the river and enjoyed sitting on the patio. It was close to all eating places and activities. We walked to alot of the places. It was very clean and big for our whole family. The host were very friendly and helpful when we had any questions. We will definitely be back to stay. Thanks for a fantastic trip.

Oktoberfest
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Way Down Yonder! It was close enough to walk to downtown and enjoy all the shops and restaurants but still far enough away to be calm and quiet! We enjoyed being able to peacefully sit in our hot tub or walk downtown for Oktoberfest concerts and fun. The house was clean, beds were very comfortable, and we were supplied everything we needed. Would highly recommend and will definitely be booking again!
We absolutely loved the view and hot tub! The home was spacious and cozy.
We couldn’t access the dumpster for trash disposal but we were able to get in contact with a representative immediately to help with that concern. I love that there was a TV in every room!!

Awesome place super close to Helen
We had a great time at this townhouse! Very clean, tons of space, comfortable beds. You can’t beat the close proximity to Helen. Loved that you didn’t have to drive up super steep hills just to get to it. We had a minor maintenance issue while we were there and the office was very responsive and sent someone out to fix it ASAP. The views of the river were amazing and so was the hot tub. We would absolutely come back!
