Wonderful weekend getaway

I loved that we were very close to downtown and it was just a short walk anywhere we went! The beds were comfy and the cabin was extremely clean!

Great location

Very nice location and super cute place! It did have a strong mildew/mold smell that we noticed every time we walked inside. Once inside, you get used to it. Other reviews are correct when they say the bed is VERY firm. Would recommend the homeowners add some type of foam mattress pad to help make bed more comfortable. I would also recommend adding a full length mirror to back of bathroom door or side wall in bathroom. I was too short to see into the high bathroom vanity mirror so that stunk. Would stay here again!

Only issue

The property is nice and in a great location. Biggest issue is it’s adjacent to a property that shares the only two parking spaces for the properties. When we arrived the guest at the other property occupied both spaces so we had to park across the street at a church. Fortunately the church was okay with this but in the future they may not be, especially on Sunday as it was posted not to park there on Sundays due to services. A second set of spaces should be added to the property we stayed in to prevent any parking issues. I contacted the property manager and the only advice they gave was try and find free parking.

My wife and I stayed the weekend here. It was a super clean and super nice place. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to anyone else. The beds were very comfortable and the recliners were first rate.

Awful

The couch was covered in mildew. Called and reported NO ONE ever showed up finally spoke to a person after we got home. We had to leave early because a person with us has asthma and went to have trouble because of the home. We had to purchase items and clean it to even be able to stay in the home. We were only refunded a cleaning fee and I feel like we should have been refunded the money we payed to stay since we had to spend our vacation cleaning and then had to leave early! This was horrible

We will never stay there again

In the contract, it was specified we would get two parking places. We had to park in the church parking lot across the street. The location of the lock box to retrieve the key was not provided. I found it on the inside of the porch post. The operation of the lock box was not provided. A small door on the front of the lock box had to be pushed down to reveal the combination tumblers. It was very difficult to unlock and open the door. I had to pull hard on the door to get the dead bolt to move and the door drags on the threshold. The wood floor was very noisy to walk on. The beds were very hard. The location of the TV in relation to the recliners made it difficult to watch TV. It was very difficult to contact the host Vacasa. Sometimes, it took a day for Vacasa to reply to messages. In fact, Vacasa replied to message a day after we checked out. The only good thing was the close location to Main Street.

Perfect for Our Weekend

My daughter and I are writers and we needed a weekend getaway spot that we could write and still get into a town for food and drinks! This was the perfect place! The beds were perfect - nice and firm! There was a table as well as a comfy couch to sit on while we wrote/talked about our books. We took a break and watched a movie on the TV, which was great! The shower head has excellent water pressure. It was within walking distance of town - just around the corner from Betty's Store! It is a studio room that was perfect for our needs! It is located on Midway St across from the church parking lot! It was a little confusing finding it, so just drive down Midway and you'll see it! It's the street in between Betty's and the package store heading out of Helen to the north!
