Very disappointed

Property did not live up to the photos we saw. The property was freezing when we went in and there was no thermostat to control temperature. Only a couple space heaters. After communicating with Vacasa, we learned the unit above us is where the owners live and they control the heat. They told us they would try to get in touch with them but that is ridiculous to even think we can’t control our own temperature. We had no results and left the property and checked into a hotel Friday evening. Will not use Vacasa. Asked for a refund and were told they would put a ticket in. Not what we’re expecting for our anniversary. Very disappointed.

The location was perfect, it was a short but beautiful walk to downtown Helen. We went for Oktoberfest and it was a great time! The apartment was clean for the most part. I did notice some spiders and webs in the corners of the walls. I’d say they could be a little more detailed when cleaning and vacuuming. Overall, a good experience aside from the 10AM check out.

Stay in Helen

The layout of the house was not functional. I reached out to you to find out were the thermostat for the heat was. I received a call the next day on Wednesday at 3:00 pm. I was informed that the heat would be bumped up because the thermostat was located in the condo above us. It was never adjusted and it was very cold at night in the condo. The bed was very soft and was very hard to get sleep.

I would not stay here again

A week before our stay I called due to a death in the family. I was told that they could not move or reschedule or reservation. They were very insensitive to something that was out of our control. When we arrived, the room smelt like weed and there is supposed to be no smoking on the property per the website. We brought in out things and went to leave and the door would not stay locked. After I reached out after some time it mysteriously locked and we were able to leave to do some activities. The satellite tv kept going off even though there was no bad weather/storms. I tried to watch Netflix and it wouldn’t let me even when I tried to cast it to the tv thru my phone. I got so frustrated with it and exited out of Netflix. It turned to a black screen and just said exiting for over 30 mins. I turned of the tv and back on and it was still showing exiting. I had to restart the whole satellite to make the tv work again. The tv situation was so aggravating you didn’t even want to try to watch it. The kitchen was under stocked- it literally had 1 bowl to eat out of. The smoke alarm went off as it was so close to the stove. You have no control of the AC. The people upstairs were so loud it sounded like it was fight night upstairs. I complained and was told that they do not manage the upstairs unit that I would have to call the authorities. The shower was smaller than a closet- if me or my husband was any bigger we would not have been able to shower. Even my 6 year old was complaining about not having any room to move. Either the walls/ door were touching you the entire time. It was not as close to the river as the site made it seem to be. We came back from putt putt one night and there wasn’t a single light in the entire complex on/ working. We ended up leaving the night before so that we could go home and get a goods night sleep. I would not stay here again.

Great location

The location was central to everything and you could drive to Helen within 5 minutes. We never tried walking and the road leading to Helen didn’t seem very pedestrian friendly. But it was easy to find parking. The apartment was well stocked with everything you would need for an overnight visit.

The perfect little getaway

The entire stay and experience was excellent: from the instructions and preparations beforehand to the stay and check out later. The property was just as described with a few nice and personal details added here and there for the upcoming holidays. It was very clean and well organized. Check in as well as check out were quick and simple. I would love to come back and I would definitely recommend there.

Isolation getaway

Check in and Check out is easy. The assigned parking space close to unit. NOTE: there are steps from the parking area to the unit. The condo was clean and well equipped. (Knives a super dull, though; if you plan to cook, bring your own.) WiFi is strong. Water pressure is great. The temperature in the unit was cold when we first arrived, but it regulated in a few hours. We stayed comfortable the rest of the weekend. We are walking distance from Helen activities and restaurants. We aren’t as close to the river as I had hoped. The upside is we don’t hear the water park across the river, and it is pretty active in spite of the weather. The unit’s location is quiet. Our Neighbors in the upstairs unit got confused with which unit was theirs since both are numbered 601. Quickly remedied. We can hear them moving around (Even with 2 kids up there), but there are no other bothersome noises (tv, talking). The bed was extremely comfortable compared to what we have at home. We slept so well. Downside: 1. We would have LOVED to have access to the screened porch the owner is using for storage. (We might have paid more if it included .) 2. The only natural light is from the living room windows.

Cleanliness leaves alot to be desired

The washing machine did not work at all , which we discovered after we put I dirty clothes and put in laundry detergent and after reading other reviews after leaving, this has been an ongoing problem that has not been addressed by the owners. There was hair in the shower and a razor left from prior guests and there was also hair in the bathroom sink and dirt in the bathroom floor. The distance to the center of Helen in inaccurate. We actually paid for parking because of the distance and the two monsterous hills you have to climb just to leave the complex. A lot of misleadings in the description.

Loud and nothing works

As I stated in the email I sent, someone in the apartment above us was extremely loud all night. We were kept up by every little step. It Sounded like someone stomping. My 88 year old grandmother is with us as a last trip for her before she gets any worse health wise, it was not a great experience for her. Along with that, the apartment was freezing and we were brought raggedy old space heaters with wires showing (Very unsafe) and we got here and the washing machine is out of order. Definitely not what was described when we rented it. Also, my grandmother has to sleep in a recliner, the sole purpose of my renting this place, and the couch recliner doesn’t work. The one that does work wouldn’t lay back for her. Very very disappointed. Ready to go home, and that’s saying something. The noise is not tolerable.

Read before you rent

At first glance and by the photos online it appeared to be a clean condo with a lovely view of the river. The unit upstairs controls the heater and we were cold every day. We asked for more heat and an additional heater because the one provided was inefficient. They did adjust the heater. Wee amount. We resorted to using the oven for heat. The additional portable heater never arrived. The existing portable has two speeds. High and off The shower is single unit dorm size and bathroom a large utility closet. There are no hooks to hang towels-2 hand towels only but plenty of other clean towels. Bring your own TP. the provided TP is junk. The washer dryer are in the dining room. All placemats were dirty and used. Some dish towels were also. Need a whisk. Fire extinguisher is in sealed box under sink. Good thing we didnt need in a hurry. Kitchen placemats and “tablecloth” (which is actually an old curtain folded in half) were dirty. Microwave and stove top were pretty gross. All ice trays are broken crumbly junk. Bedroom: we took off all decor pillows and bedspread immediately. They were dirty and smelled. 2 pillows on bed had cases. 4 additional pillows in closet however no cases. Bedroom is coldest room. Outside of bedroom is the stair case that goes upstairs it is covered by a sheet of plastic and a shower curtain and has a sign saying not to touch it. It is right outside the bedroom door which made us quite uneasy. The bedroom smells like urine. All drawers were dirty. The bed was comfy but the bedroom is literally all bed. Prepare to walk sideways to get to the closet which can double as an icebox. To get to the bathroom you must either go through the kitchen and dining room or across the living room. The couch in the living room has a broken recliner. The couch blanket provided was filthy. Your view from the living room is junk from the neighbors who smoke constantly, and a few old sheds. The beach area had trash and broken glass everywhere. You’re across from the water park. Although it was closed, the repairs during winter were constant noise, loud music, sawing, nailing ...will be noisy @summer The curtains in the living area offer no privacy at all. The front door is a keypad. No instructions were given in how to lock when we left. We did figure out. No key. The front door is split at the lock as if the door were kicked in at one time. Parking is good. Town is cute, friendly. We will come back to Helen. not to this unit ☹️
