We had a wonderful time at this property! The location is great and being right on the river is very nice. Property could use a little updating (flooring is a bit rough) but it was clean and a wonderful place to stay.

Convenient Location
We like the location. Walking distance to town and had pretty a view.
The key code did not work when we arrived. The wifi code did not work. But other than that, everything else was good.

We'll continue to work closely with both our local staff and the homeowner to make improvements to this home, and we hope you'll give us a second chance to impress you.
Our stay was perfect it was off the river and in the heart of Helen. Back patio you can watch the river and out the front door you can walk to all the restaurants and stores.

This unit is Location Location. You can park and walk. It is a little dated but had all the necessities you need for a stay with the exception of washer/dryer. The Park and Cool River tubing are right up the road. And it is pet friendly.

Location. The 2 BR was a little dated but being in Helen knowing its an older town, our expectations were definitely exceeded. We even left something behind and Vacasa was super attentive and shipped our item out promptly. We would definitely recommend and stay here again.

It was ideal for what we needed. I couldn't have made a better choice. Thank you!!
The only thing I would suggest would be to get a tall barstool table for outside and tall chairs, so you can enjoy the view. We cannot enjoy the view because of the balcony.
The location was perfect for walking to restaurants and shopping. The unit was in a high foot traffic area close to stairs and entrance causing too much noise at night. Overall good value for cost.

Thank you again for this valuable information, as we always welcome the opportunity to improve. We hope to have another chance to impress you on a future stay!
Overall it was a great spot right in the middle of town. The condo is dated and could use some updating but clean. Seating in the living area needs more relaxing seats maybe 2 love seats or even a small sectional like from IKEA since it's a smaller area.

Thank you for your feedback! We appreciate this and we are passing this along to our local staff.
Wonderful place to stay. Walking distance to everything. Tubing within walking distance and mountain roller coaster across the road and town not far from walking distance. Plenty of places to eat. Place was super clean. Nice to have three full baths. We took a small dog which was nice. Accommodations were great for a long weekend. Only negative we found was there was no washer and dryer but could be because they're replacing them. Not sure. I would recommend this place to my family and friends
Location was perfect (walking distance to everything). Clean and pretty much well maintained. Never found the dumpster to throw away our trash when we left. Would have been nice to have a working washer & dryer but not a deal breaker.

Hi Ted, thank you for taking the time to review your stay with us, we are so glad to hear that you had a phenomenal getaway. We appreciate you letting us know that there is room for improvement and will follow up with our local team regarding your feedback. We hope to host you for another great stay in the future!
The condo is in a great location! It was so easy to walk to all of the nearby attractions. It was very clean at check-in. It was very cold during our stay and the heat seemed to struggle a bit. However, the fire place was great for both ambience and warmth. It might be helpful to have runners or rugs for the colder months. The property manager and local team were fantastic in their response when the cold temps caused issues with pipes. Overall, we enjoyed our stay!

Disliked: Check-in
The condo was clean and we didn't have any pets. We stayed during colder climate and the heater worked fine except it didn't seem to warm the main living area whereas the bedrooms got hot. The worst part was check-in. The door lock code we were provided did not work. We drove 8 hours from Florida which put our arrival at 8:00 p.m.and trying to reach someone/human was impossible. The contact phone number we were given was to some other property manager who obviously couldn't help us. When we contacted someone at VRBO there was a terrible language barrier due to the person speaking very broken English and he also put us on hold for better than 12 minutes. After several texts back and forth with the AI program we were finally given a door lock code that worked. Overall it took us almost an hour to finally get into the unit.
