Thank you so much for your kind review! We're thrilled to hear the spot was perfect for your family and that it had everything you needed. Cleanliness is a top priority for us, so we’re glad that stood out. Hope to welcome you back on your next trip to Helen!
Great location , beautiful little apaprtment inside. I think they are repairing some of the outside which needs it so thats great. The river outback is beautiful. We wanted to open the back door but you share a deck but still beautiful to see. We enjoyed the location being able to walk everywhere was great. Bed needs updated not comfy atvall. and direct TV never worked while we were there. Smart tv in living room with free tv but limited . Tv in bedroom direct tv only and couldnt use. But definitely more good than bad. Everything you need is there . Thanks for a lovely get away. I would definitely stay again with a better bed lol

We truly appreciate you staying with us and would love to host you again in the future!
We absolutely loved our stay here. The room was clean and the company was very friendly and offered easy and quick communication. If I had one small complaint, it would be the couch bed. It was okay for the small kids, but adults couldn't use it. The location was great and we loved being on the river and next to the park while still within an easy walking distance to shops and restaurants. We'd absolutely stay here again if we go back to Helen!

We also appreciate your feedback about the couch bed—it’s helpful as we continue to improve the experience for our guests. We’d absolutely love to host you again if you return to Helen!
I actually booked the wrong dates. The next day Cabin rentals of Helen were very helpful in finding me a condo with the correct dates. Ultimately we stayed in Alpine condos. They are up to date, the host was very helpful and quickly to respond. We did need more bathroom linens but we managed.

We really enjoyed our visit to Helen and this was a clean, safe, convenient, and quiet place to stay. You can walk to most places with ease from this condo. The condo had everything we needed including push sticks for tubing!

We loved our stay in this beautiful condo. It was very clean and had everything we needed during our stay. The location was wonderful. We were able to walk to everything. We really enjoyed sitting in the swing by the river every evening. I highly recommend this condo for your next trip to Helen!

Thank you for your wonderful review, Allison! We love hearing that River's Edge Retreat #203 was everything you needed for your getaway! We know that location is key when planning a vacation and this property sounds like it was a perfect location for you! We hope to see you again in the future!
The location was perfect to walk to all downtown activities and restaurants. We enjoyed the playground and park right next door. The condo was clean and newly renovated. Outside deck area with picnic table needs to be cleaned and updated. Swing area overlooking river also needs some attention. The view of the river was beautiful and the kids enjoyed playing around on the rocks in the river. The pull out couch was slanted and uncomfortable for my 5y/o and 7y/o. We did have a lovely stay overall.

Everything was as described. We had some problems with the dryer that caused a long delay in our trip. It was difficult communicating with the owner, but they did eventually help us dry our clothes and get going. Besides that it was a great place--right by the river.

Cute riverside condo to stay in Historic Helen. You can walk within 10 minutes to most local restaurants and shops in Helen from the condo. The condo was great, the only complaint was, it was very dusty.

Home wasn’t well kept and needs multiple fixes. Lights that didn’t work, fans didn’t work, holes in flooring joints, squeaky bed, extremely soft bed to the point of no sleep. Electrical plugs lose and light fixtures flickered. Previous guest clothing in dresser. No storage or counter space in bathroom. Very loud unit being right next to the road. Oh and no parking. Stairwells weren’t very sturdy or safe. Been to Helen for 19 years and this is the first time we left and don’t plan on coming back to these units or recommend them! Disappointed!!

Clean, well appointed condo within walking distance to the downtown Christmas market & holiday lights. The condo was lightly decorated with a tiny fake Christmas tree, festive decor & had a cute electric fireplace to complete the feel. Everything was as depicted in the description.

This property was in a great location for walking to most activities associated with Oktoberfest in Helen. That is basically the only positive comment I have. It needs a good cleaning, there was a lot of dust and the floors were filthy. The deck is a shared area and it needs to be updated, clean up needs to be done outside. There was a swing by the river, but it was just mud to walk through to get to it. Some stepping stones or a gravel path would be nice. The unit we rented was on the second floor and there is no elevator in this building.
