Great spot in the middle of the action

This place was great. The furnishings were nice and the place was clean and well maintained. It is in the same building as the Village Crepe Haus so it was really close to all the restaurants and shops

A Hidden Gem in Helen

This B & B is tucked away off of the Main Street in the center of the town! Even though you are in the thick of Helen’s activities, the room felt very private! It was the perfect place to stay for a weekend and to enjoy all that Helen has to offer! Barry was great and the breakfast and coffee was a wonderful addition! The room was amazing and we will be back!

So fun!

We had such a blast at this property. It was a totally different experience being right in the middle of everything! So convenient to drop off bags from shopping or take a little break whenever you want. Everything was at our fingertips and we only moved our car one time- to go tubing! It was easy to park, we had everything we needed, and it was quiet at night. We were very happy with our stay and hope to be back!

Cozy and relaxing get away with my Hubby

This rental is absolutely a must for a romantic getaway. It is located right in the heart of Helen, GA, which feels like a Bavarian village in Germany. The location was directly above a quaint winery and in the middle of all the happenings going on. Even being centered in the town along the cobblestone streets, crowd noise was of no issue. Could y hear a thing while relaxing in the room. Will definitely be back!

Quick Helen trip

As far as the accommodations it was really great. Location was perfect. A little loud at night cause you are right on the street, but to be nit picking that would be all. Then the only other issue was the window unit was especially loud. To watch tv and have that running was hard. But again nit picking. It over all would recommend this little studio I guess you would call it.

Not for anyone with mobility issues. I was not provided with information re parking at e $10 per day plus tax behind the building until the day we were to check in. I did not receive check in information until 6 hours before check in. We had to carry our luggage up 2 steep flights of stairs plus the stairway to the studio apt. The heat and air unit is extremely noisy. It is Business friendly and pet friendly and the room is comfortable and cozy for 2 people

Best way to experience Helen

If you are going to Helen, this has to be the best place for a couple to stay. The decor and comfortable furnishings provide a retreat from all that is Helen, and you honestly won't be aware of any hustle and bustle one you're inside. But when you want to experience all this tiny town has to offer, all you have to do is walk down the stairs. You will be in the middle of EVERYTHING! The crew at the Village Crepe Haus was fantastic - breakfast daily was included, along with coffee (There's also a Coffee machine in room). Parking was easy, a separate $10/day charge, and it was only a few steps away, paid directly at the machine in the parking lot. We celebrated my wife's December birthday, and Helen was fully decorated for Christmas. Inside the room, the host had placed a small, decorated tree - a nice touch. If you do take some rest in the gorgeous room, there is a big screen smart-TV, high speed Internet, and an electric fireplace (great for a chilly night). It's an easy place to relax and unwind. The candy store and wine shop next door also help. The only reason I'd stay anywhere else in Helen would be if this place were unavailable.

Great location

My husband & I took a quick trip to Helen during Christmas market. Very cute place & we couldn’t ask for a better location.It’s an easy walking distance to everything & perfect location to walk to shops & restaurants & return to the room to drop off purchases. Lovely clean room & plenty of space with many beautiful details throughout including a fireplace. We do have some suggestions to make future stays a little more comfortable. Parking is $10 per day which we were not aware of at booking. Finding our room was a little confusing but by comparing the pictures in the listing we took a chance & walked up the stairs which were white & not like the pictures. We suggest adding 3B/name of BNB on the door or at the bottom of stairs It rained the entirety of our stay & there were no hooks to hang our wet raincoats or to hang clothes. Bathroom is nice but small & dark with low water pressure. The barn door is cute but there is little privacy so I would definitely share the room with someone you’re very comfortable with. ;) The bed is extra soft which I’m sure is OK for others but for those of us who need a firmer mattress for our backs it’s something to be aware of. The alley lights were bright at night so adding shades to block out that light would be helpful None of these suggestions would keep us from returning but I did want to share our thoughts so others could know more when they book. We absolutely enjoyed our stay & do recommend it but wanted to be honest in our review.

Great location but could use some updates

First and foremost, the location of this property can’t be beat. Right in the center of town, but we had no issue with noise or disturbances. So easy to walk everywhere! The addition of breakfast at the Crepe Haus is also a thoughtful touch. The property itself, although very clean, has started to show its age. A few cosmetic touch ups would go a long way - cleaning marks and scuffs off the walls, patching nail/screw holes, etc. Since the property is older, everything is a bit smaller, the ceilings are lower, and it seems especially tight in the bathroom. May not be a big deal for some, but I am 5’11” and my husband is 6’5” so it was a bit unexpected since previous reviews had not called this out. As another reviewer mentioned, the rainfall showerhead is nice but tricky to manuever if you are trying not to get your hair wet. Based on personal preference, one of our largest issues was the bed. The mattress is pure foam and extremely soft. The pillows were well used, flat, and a little lumpy. All of the linens (all bedding, towels) were cleaned or sprayed with something heavily scented. It permeated our hair and pajamas, requiring some items to be laundered multiple times once we got home to get the smell out, so word of caution to anyone with allergies or sensitivities. General check in and out information was not proactively provided, but the host was very responsive when we inquired. Overall, the property would be decent for those with different preferences than us
