The best vacation!!!

We enjoyed our vacation so much and this amazing condo was perfect for our group of 3! The location was perfect, close to everything but just outside the hustle and bustle of the downtown crowd. The host was very responsive and made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. We are very much looking forward to visiting again in the summer and tubing!

Perfect Place For Us!

This was our second year in a row at Riverlife. It’s comfortable, cozy and clean. The kitchen is very well stocked. The best part for us is the location.

The condo is located right on the river. Walking distance to several restaurants/shops which is great because there is a $10 parking fee in most of Helen. Great place for a family trip.

About the host

Hosted by Lamar & Kimberly McCoy

Host profile image
My Wife and I have loved Helen and the river for many years and decided to make this our second Home and share it will friends and family. We are the owners and been hosts for almost 5 years and really enjoy being a Host and knowing our guests are enjoying our home! We just listed another wonderful 2 bed room 2 bath property in the same building so you can bring even more friends and family please inquire so we can check the calendars!!

Why they chose this property

After many viewings we decided on this home because of the location, unobstructed views and being in down town HELEN making it close enough to walk. It also has an elevator for our older family members. In our opinion the best maintained property of this type in Helen and have admired it for years. The property had a new roof installed in 2021 and the exterior of all the building just painted in late 2023. All our owners love their properties and it shows!

What makes this property unique

Has an elevator for those that do not like to navigate stairs, it is right in downtown Helen so it is within walking distance to everything and has private river access and a screened in deck overlooking the River that we Love!
