Hosts were wonderful to work with. We will definitely go back. They let us use their tubes which saved us money. And it's an easy walk to betty's store.

Octoberfest in a water tower castle!

We know it’s not a castle, but staying in the Wasserhaus gave us the feeling of being inside a castle turret. Well-appointed and so conveniently located near all the fun of Helen. This is a gun and unique spot. The hot tub was used nightly and we gathered as a family to enjoy the living room and kitchen but also had several balconies and rooms to get quiet time when needed. Great spot to stay in a unique town.
