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!

Nice little getaway

We enjoyed our stay at A Way Down Yonder. I feel it needs to be shared that if stairs are hard, this is not the place for you. The condo is three levels and the stairs are needed for various movements about the cabin. The pool table was a huge hit with the kids and provided great entertainment. I don't feel we were in "walking distance" unless you really like to walk. We had to drive and pay to park when going in town but did find a location for parking that allowed for all same-day returns (behind Cowboys and Angels). The hot tub was also not private on open to anyone that potentially walked up. I'm sure this isn't an issue as it was fairly quiet where we were, but this struck me as odd as I don't see how they keep random folks (especially during slow season) from just walking up and taking a dip. All that said, we enjoyed our stay and would stay again if given the opportunity. Helen was a pleasant place to visit. We were there during September so many businesses closed Monday to Wed. Hiking to Anna Ruby Falls was the best and a big recommend!

Very Roomy yet cozy location

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.

Oktoberfest

Condo is well located, an easy walk into town. Nice layout with two decks over looking the river. We’ve stayed three times but this time it seemed a little rough looking. Sofa was ripped, very few towels and the beds , especially the master was very lumpy and soft. Maybe it’s time to upgrade them. Having said that, we had a good time. But, will check on the bed situation before booking next year.

Great place

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 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

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.

May 2024

The condo was a great place to stay while visiting Helen and the surrounding area. We enjoyed the balcony overlooking the river and the resident groundhog. The gameroom with a pool table was a welcome addition. Our only issue was the single roll of paper towels and the single roll of tp for each bathroom. That might be OK for a 1 or 2 night stay, but not for a 4 night stay by 4 adults. Those supplies were also cheap, one ply tp and equally listless paper towels. The owner should reconsider this policy and the quality of the supplies being provided.
