Graduation Weekend

This peaceful, clean, superbly stocked house was not only welcoming and accommodating but was exactly what our family needed as we gathered together to celebrate our daughter's graduation from TMU (go bears). We had an AC issue that was addressed in a timely manner. The hot tub was clean and well sized. The grill was a nice touch and the kids loved the pool table. Even our dog had a great vacation. We would love to stay again.

Love this house!

This house was perfect for my elderly parents with limited mobility and us. Great location, always felt safe and secure, and just minutes from downtown Helen. The nice woman in charge of the home took care of any need we may have had. She was easy to reach and returned text promptly. The home was clean and very well kept.

Annual Framily Vacation

Every Labor Day for the last 5 years we travel with my best friend and her family. This rental was by far our favorite. The listing is accurate, the house is amazing. Pleny of room for 12 adults. Settled quietly on the golf course and really close to downtown. Melissa was great to work with. We will definetly keep this on our list of places to return to.

Beautiful home

We have had the most wonderful stay! This home is just perfect! The moment we walked in we felt at home. The kitchen was stocked with plenty of cookware and dishes and we loved all the extra essentials. All the beds were very comfortable. We hardly wanted to leave during our stay and we were more than a little sad to have to go home. Love love love! If we could give this rental more than 5 stars we would. We can’t wait to return again. We also wanted to thank Melissa for helping us with directions and making sure we arrived safe. Thank you for a wonderful stay

Girls' Weekend Trip

There were 8 of us that stayed in this house for a long weekend in November. It was beautiful! The house is amazing with so many thoughtful details in all the rooms, including the bathrooms. The view from the back sunroom is beautiful. We sat back there and drank our coffee and chatted and watched the squirrels play. It was a refreshing time in a wonderful location. There's plenty to do in Helen and nearby... shopping, eating, hiking, and wine tasting. The communication with the owner was great. No complaints, we highly recommend this rental.

Best house we've ever rented

My family and I go to Helen at least once a year. This house is beautiful, clean, so well stocked, and exactly what we were looking for! For the past 4 years we've gone to remember my late father. Every time we rent a house I tell them why we are visiting. This is the first time the owners/management used this info to make us feel so special. We walked into the house to see balloons and a small gift for each of us. It was a small gesture that meant so much to all of us. Thank you so much!

Wonderful home and a great location in Helen

The home itself is lovely and I must say is probably the best outfitted rental we've ever stayed at. In addition to the hot tub, the downstairs entertainment area has a pool table and plenty of other games and things to keep kids and teens (not that we have any) occupied. The kitchen is spacious and very well equipped, which was great since we were staying here to attend a family reunion in Helen and actually did have to prepare food for it. The beds were comfortable as well. I really don't have anything negative to say about this property and in fact we hope to stay here again in the future (I just hope it's available when we need it!). The management company reached out to us to make sure we were doing OK and if we needed anything. They even provided a nice welcome basket of treats which was a nice touch. We truly enjoyed our stay here.

The host was welcoming and kind. The house was warm and welcoming and the amenities were awesome. My grands loved being able to sleep in the same room where we heard them giggling long after bedtime! They loved the beautiful yard where they found tons of golf balls! We had a lovely time and plan to visit again!
