Long story short, this was not the home we had originally reserved, the first home was sold & no longer available, this was offered as an alternative. The home was lovely, three bedrooms were in separate areas with their own private baths, nice! The highlight of the home was the screened-in porch with far-reaching views & a nice hot tub. Though there were other homes fairly nearby, none could be seen from the porch so the sense of privacy was real.On the less positive side, do not count on a fire pit, though it is listed in the description. There is a fire ring there in the front by the drive, but, as mentioned in other reviews, there is nowhere to sit and it is obvious it has not been used for some time. I'm pretty sure I saw a review response (or two) that mentioned chairs on order, so I assumed... Those reviews were old and still no chairs. Truly, a couple of very large logs to sit on would be sufficient. If you travel with chairs, you might be tempted, but the placement is still off-putting. Others also mentioned the drive up, which can be a little treacherous if wet or if you meet another car. Fortunately for us, it was dry and no traffic, so just take it very slow and watch the holes and ruts. It's not long, not terrible and the view is worth it.We enjoyed our stay in the area, visited Helen for Oktoberfest, hiked, visited some of the waterfalls and also spent a day winery hopping, which was nice and there are plenty to choose from. We really enjoyed Hofbrauhaus at the end of downtown Helen, closest to this house. The food and service were great, the patio offered great views of the river & had live music. Cristoffs beer garden was pleasant, the staff friendly. Be sure to visit Betty's Country Store, charming, deceptively large and has everything you need, and then some, for food and wine.I would revisit both the area and this home. The house is lovely and there's plenty to do nearby.
