We loved our stay at this property! I would only suggest bringing your own pillows if you prefer a stiffer pillow- they’re super soft here. We loved the set up, the parking, the hot-tub and the duck saltines to feed the geese/ducks! Check in and out was super easy and the home was very clean and smelled really good. The host even gives you a gift with the essentials to enjoy your stay!

First, the property was very clean, and the staff was wonderful in helping us celebrate my fiancé’s birthday with some special décor. We really appreciated that extra touch!Unfortunately, there were several issues that affected our overall experience. We did not receive the arrival/check-in information until the early morning hours of the day we were scheduled to arrive. I would also strongly recommend arriving before dark, as it was very difficult to determine which property was ours at night.The biggest issue for us was the comfort of the beds. The mattresses were uncomfortable, the fitted sheets would not stay on the beds—even from simply sitting on the edge—and the pillows were extremely flat and provided very little support. Since this was intended to be a relaxing birthday getaway, the lack of comfortable sleep definitely impacted our stay.Helen is one of our favorite getaway destinations, and we visit multiple times throughout the year. While there were certainly positive aspects of this property, based on the sleeping accommodations and a few other things, it is very unlikely that we would choose to stay here again.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear that you found the property very clean and that you appreciated the special birthday décor our team arranged for your fiancé. We’re always happy to add those personal touches when celebrating a special occasion. We were, however, a little surprised by some of the concerns mentioned in your review, as we did check in with you during your stay to make sure everything was going well. At that time, you let us know that your stay was excellent, and we were not made aware of any concerns regarding the beds, pillows, sheets, or check-in information. Had we known about these issues while you were staying with us, we absolutely would have welcomed the opportunity to address them and make your stay more comfortable. We also want to clarify that the review was posted after we contacted you regarding charges for damages to the property that occurred during your stay. While we certainly respect every guest’s right to share their experience, we feel it is important for future guests to have the full context when considering this review. We genuinely care about our guests and strive to provide a clean, comfortable property and responsive service. We’re sorry to hear that you ultimately felt your experience did not meet your expectations, and we wish you all the best on your future visits to Helen.

Clean and very nicely decorated with seasonal decor, quiet location with a great view, functional kitchen, we really couldn’t ask for more! We enjoyed our time so much and spent a good chunk of it just relaxing in the hot tub or reading on the porch. Beds were super comfy and again it was SUPER clean and cute. Nice central location without a lot of noise! We loved being right on the river.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear that you appreciated many of the features in our home, including the well-stocked kitchen, sharp knives, lighting throughout the cabinets and closets, large vanity, night lights, and other amenities. We certainly take reasonable maintenance and safety concerns seriously, and we’ll review the items you mentioned that may genuinely need attention. That said, we also want to clarify that this is our personal home. The home is decorated and furnished according to our personal preferences, style, and taste. While we are always happy to consider reasonable suggestions that improve comfort, safety, or functionality, we cannot reasonably be expected to redesign or refurnish our personal home based on an individual guest’s decorating preferences. For example, preferences regarding mattress firmness, furniture style, decorative lighting, removing furniture, or adding specific tables and lamps are subjective and may not be something we choose to change. Our goal is to provide a clean, comfortable, functional home—not to have the property customized to every guest’s individual taste. We appreciate the positive comments and the constructive feedback, and we’ll certainly address anything that we determine requires maintenance or attention.
