Awesome Stay

Perfect location. Within walking distance to almost everything. Cute and cozy cabin was just right. Evenings on the patio with a glass of wine listening to the river’s rushing waters was so relaxing. Definitely recommend!

Wonderfully cozy condo

We stayed for a weekend. The condo was clean and wonderfully furnished. The riverfront patio was the star. Sitting outside listening to little rapids while enjoying a coffee was the perfect way to relax Walking distance to the center of town was also another great perk.

Highly Recommended

Wonderful place to live for a week. We have just finished our second stay here, and are planning on returning here every year. We have been coming to Helen for many years(many times since 1980), we have stayed in cabins, condos, and hotels, and this place is the best. The people at Blue Creek are helpful, smart, and personable. Highly recommend.

Lovely little city. Property was perfectly located just outside the hustle of the city, but close enough to be able to walk everywhere. Condo was very quaint. Only issue was when we went to use the dryer it took over five times to dry our clothes and the water pressure was really not great.

Place was very clean although dated. Porch furnishings could be more comfortable as the view on the river was wonderful. The exterior needs a lot of TLC. Cob webs cleaned up and a coat of paint would be recommended. Office was very responsive when we had a lock problem.

Very peaceful and relaxing!

They provided all the information in a timely manner and it was very easy to find. The rooms were clean and pleasant and inviting. Everything was provided as stated and it was great that we were able to just go to our place without checking in. Everything was working. Had to be careful getting in and out the shower as there was no non-slip pads in the tub or bars to hold on to if you needed something like that. Would recommend!
