Great for families

We stayed a few days with family and had lots of space!! The inside is awesome and you must see it to believe how well it’s been done. Stephen was great, and was available to help with any questions. He let us use the tubes in the garage and that saved us money. Great property, fun to sit on the decks and watch tubers pass by. Would recommend this for large family or a few couples.

Totally Amazing & Unique Stay in Helen, GA

The WasserHaus was one of our highlights of our summer roadtrip! The house beautifully done inside and out. Super Clean and the Check in was really Easy. Stephen answered all my questions and even gave me tips and suggestions for our stay. The location was in walking distance of everything in town, there no need to move the car. There even a full supermarket, Bette's Market a few blocks away. It was truely a home away from home...BIG Thanks to Stephen and his family for hosting us! P.S. the best people watching in at the house where you can watch the river tubing right on the deck.

Unique Property for a Wonderful Stay

The Wasserhaus is a true gem of a property. The design and layout of this house are very well done. It was clean and well-appointed and very comfortable. The host, Stephen, made sure we were taken care of before we arrived and gave us some great suggestions on where to eat and some fun things to do. We felt at home immediately. The house is close enough to downtown Helen to walk to almost anything, but also far enough from the bustle of town to be pretty quiet. We walked into downtown several times each day to shop, eat, and sightsee. You can also opt to stay at the house and spend hours on the balconies overlooking the Chattahoochee and being entertained by the tubers. Great house and we would definitely stay here again.

Girl’s Trip Weekend!

We just returned from quick Girl’s Trip to Helen,GA! Six of us stayed comfortably in the beautifully renovated water tower. Once we arrived we were able to walk everywhere easily within Helen. The accommodations were excellent and the owner/host was easily accessible by phone or email to quickly answer any questions. We felt safe and very comfortable in the home. We would all definitely recommend this location to anyone and will book again if we visit Helen in the future! Thanks for helping to make our weekend such a memorable trip!

Excellent Experience!

We had a great time at this location. The owner, Stephen, was very engaged and communicative. The location couldn't be better for a home base. Downtown is within 5-7 minutes on foot, and the grocery store is right around the corner. The house itself is super unique as a converted water tower. It's really well done, and comfortable for a group of 6-8. We'll be back!

Unique and convenient

Wasserhaus was just as pictured online. Our kids enjoyed the unique layout and round walls, as well as the arcade across the street. Our teenage son fly-fished right outside the house in the river, and our whole family enjoyed hiking Dukes Creek Falls just 10mins away. Downtown Helen was very close and an easy walk for exploring. The IGA in Betty's was helpful for a basic grocery run.

Octoberfest in a water tower castle!

We know it’s not a castle, but staying in the Wasserhaus gave us the feeling of being inside a castle turret. Well-appointed and so conveniently located near all the fun of Helen. This is a gun and unique spot. The hot tub was used nightly and we gathered as a family to enjoy the living room and kitchen but also had several balconies and rooms to get quiet time when needed. Great spot to stay in a unique town.
