Excellent location, safe and quiet. Dog friendly with a dog park right next to the river. On the pricey side for bringing your dog as they charge per day and not a one time charge. Everything in Helen is easy walking distance for shopping and dinning.

Our overall stay was good and we would stay here again. Our room was spacious and clean, the beds were comfortable. Convenient for walking around town and was nice to sit by the river every morning while having some coffee and at night as well.
