Fun close to town getaway
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The cabin is very close to town! Easy drive! Only unexpected thing was other cabins so close by. It didn’t bother us at all, but we were under the impression from the pictures that we were a little more secluded. Very cute cozy cabin!!

Great Christmas at the Happy Camper in Helen
Wonderful property in Helen! The cabin was immaculate and cozy. It was so nice to find a dog friendly option! Our dogs loved walking around the wooded areas. The kitchen was small, but functional and the outside grill was such a plus! The property was very quiet and we loved the fireplace and large TV. The property is in walking distance to Helen, but there is a very steep drive leading up to the neighborhood that may be quite challenging for some. We highly recommend and would love to go back! Check out the BBQ place at the end of the drive leading to the neighborhood - it was great!

The property is a short 3-minute drive to downtown Helen which makes the location ideal for those who want to be close to town but have a more private feel. There is a narrow road leading to the property from the main road but we did not have any issues with it or accessing the private parking. We also brought our small dog and she enjoyed the stay. Communication was excellent/responsive and the property overall was nice, though there were a few minor issues with cleanliness such as with the floors.

Pros - Communications were prompt and friendly. We had an issue with the thermostat which they fixed right away. The decor was also cute and woodsy, which fit the location. Cons - The property could use more interior lighting, especially in the dining area. Additionally, there were a few areas that didn't feel completely clean.
