Great location and view of town

We loved the location, the hot tub and the property. Our only con that prevented a 5 star rating was how steep the driveway is. It’s very hard to turn around and hard to walk up.

Nice Property with a built-in workout.

We chose Above The Rest based on the beautiful photos online and its unbeatable location—and it did not disappoint! Just a short walk from downtown Helen, the cabin offered the perfect mix of convenience and charm. The steep driveway added a bit of a workout, but we welcomed the exercise and the views it offered.Inside, the property was spotless, cozy, and well-stocked with plenty of linens, towels, and paper products—everything we needed for a comfortable stay. After a long day of hiking, the hot tub was an absolute treat and the perfect way to unwind.The property manager checked in a couple of times during our stay, which made us feel well taken care of. Everyone we met in Helen was warm and welcoming. We had such a great experience—we're already planning our return!
