Cleanest property I think we've ever stayed at on v r b o. Everything was very nice, not beat up. Little extras were left on the counter. The nice touch was the music playing coming into the house.

Relaxing stay

We were looking for a quiet place to spend a few days in Helen. This place was perfect. We sat in the rockers that are in the porch and enjoyed our coffee. We were so glad that we were able to take our dog with us. Maklen was very responsive and accommodating.

Perfect location and everything you need

We stayed the weekend prior to Christmas and loved The Porch A. It was the perfect size for me and my wife, our teen son, our two small dogs, and mother in law. The cabin was stocked with everything you need to cook, wash and dry clothes, and convenient to all that the Helen area has to offer. It’s a short 5-7 minute drive to downtown Helen, as well as only 25 minutes to Anna Ruby Falls. We will definitely use it again.

Oktoberfest weekend

My group of 4 friends stayed at Porch A for 2 nights during Oktoberfest. The cabin was extremely clean, beds were comfortable. The property was updated. It is exactly as described and listed. The back porch was screened in and we enjoyed the privacy of the trees. We felt very safe in the gated community. If I return to Helen GA I will stay here.

Wonderful Relaxation

We had a fantastic relaxing long weekend at the Porch! The hosts were very quick to respond and they had a basket full of goodies for us upon arrival! The house was squeaky clean and the neighborhood was quiet. Our anniversary vacation was a success! Our fur baby enjoyed her stay, too! The Porch, and the town of Helen, are very dog-friendly! We would absolutely choose Helen and the Porch again!

Oktoberfest in Helen GA >Perfect

This amazing property is in a Goldilocks location to enjoy the Oktoberfest in Helen. Close enough to sneak in the back way to the festivities and avoid the main street traffic gridlock, but far enough away to have perfect silence in the cool night air. The two bedrooms, two baths full kitchen and gas fireplace made it a very 'homey' place for three nights.

About the host

Hosted by Maklen Menalla

Host profile image
We discovered Helen and the nearby area and fell in love with it. Our family loves the small town vibe, hiking the trails and the quaint shops and cafes. We kept coming back every several months, and look forward to spending more time exploring the Blue Ridge mountains and all North Georgia has to offer.

Why they chose this property

We dreamt of vacationing with our adult college children who can invite their friends along. This two unit duplex will give us all perfect privacy while still being together.
While quiet and peaceful, it is very close to the action, and a great base for exploring the rejuvenating nature of North Georgia. We are looking forward to fishing, golfing, hiking and exploring nature as well as great restaurants.

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with the peaceful view of Mount Yonah right from our back porch, and all the amazing amenities like the gated community, tennis courts and golf course, while still only a short walk to Helen.
