What Our Guests Are Saying

Sonrisa B.

We absolutely loved this spot! It was cozy and adorable. 10 out of 10 recommend!

Elena P.

Beautiful cabin! Great location to Helen and surrounding areas.

Jill B.

The Helen Waldhaus was amazing! My friends and I stayed for 3 nights. The beds were so comfortable! The house was beautifully decorated and there were little gems around the house to find. The house temp was nice and cool and the amenities were awesome. I will most definitely book this home again in the future.

Antonela R.

This place was so amazing. We loved the attention to detail and all the little personal touches. It had all kitchen and bathroom essentials. It was very organized and the decor was exquisite especially in the bedrooms. The patio with the hot tub and projector was our favorite way to unwind at night after long hikes. We also loved the lighting in the backyard and fairy touches. Absolutely fell in love with this cabin. Thanks for a wonderful stay

Kellee R.

The home was perfect for my family! We made a last minute decision to go and before booking, I needed to confirm accommodations for a family member. Lynette responded promptly which allowed me to book quickly and know we made the right decision to visit. We felt at home and the kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked with quality items we were able to use. The fire pit was wonderful, we loved how peaceful it was. We also enjoyed the jacuzzi, very clean and peaceful. I had a few questions while we were there and Lynette was prompt to respond. I highly recommend her home if you want quality time, peace and great getaway. We will definitely be back! Thank you.

Michael N.

Zero complaints. Clean, well stocked, and lots of nice touches like the firewood and smores. Lynette is a fantastic host. I’m pretty picky and I have zero complaints on this spot.

Amanda C.

Very family friendly with s’mores, board games, corn hole, and other things for kids and families to enjoy. Close to downtown Helen and other tourist locations. Very peaceful location and off to itself, the wrap around porch and rocking chairs was also really nice. The host provided a handbook with all the instructions for the home, things to do, checking in, checking out, recommendations, etc. The cabin has everything you need honestly. If you have a family then I would highly recommend this place. We noticed after we got there they were pet friendly- so anyone that has a dog they had balls outside in a container and stuff for your pet as well (we didn’t bring any animals but did notice this and thought it would definitely be worth suggesting in the review). I definitely recommend making s’mores if you’re able to (they left a cute little s’mores kit). Overall we had an amazing family adventure in downtown Helen, Cabbage Patch Babyland, and visiting Uhuburg Castle.

David S.
