Helen holiday cottage

Upon arrival, we were greeted by Yonah the friendly young dog, Check in was quick and easy and Robert was very helpful on the area. When we arrived at the Garden Cottage and walked on to the deck you could smell the fresh air and hear the river running over the rocks below.
I took a deep breath and sighed. Entering the cottage, the same effect..Awe. It is so pretty, fresh clean smell and pine boards on the floors and walls It was so calming to me everything is decorated so nice and not too much. The view from the front facing the river is so beautiful. I loved the screened- in deck on the Livingroom level, we had our breakfast there and lunches. The hot tub was clean and ready. The sititng areas were perfect for the family to relax and drink hot cider and feel the cool breeze coming off the river. It is a Very private setting. Later on the Bedroom level there is another deck with doors in both bedrooms facing the river. there are sitting areas there and a comfy hammock that was almost impossible to get my husband out of to come inside. But when he did...Feather bed.... Awsome!!... Sank in to heaven, I don't think we even moved until the next morning. We had so much fun on the river, tubing, wading, sitting on the rocks with the water running over us. Kyaking, Pickle our Dauchound was the first mate on the Kyak and in the tubes. No fear there! The fire pit was perfect on Saturday night after we came back from Helen. Just sitting, talking and roasting marshmellows. Frank and Kyle fished Sunday and caught our Trout dinner. The girls and I went to Sunburst stables for a 2 hour trail ride, Folks that's no ordinary trail ride. It was great, up and down the mountain and through the woods,so much fun. The rope swing between Nana's and the Garden Cottage is great. Kyle was the only one brave enough to do it. But we all had such a good time laughing at him and his fearless silly self. The Garden Cottage is a really beautiful place and we all enjoyed it so much. We needed this to relax and get away. I plan on coming back for either one of these rentals:Garden Cottage or Nana's cottage. It was better than a resort with all the comforts of a beautiful upscale farm home. Thanks Nancy and Robert for sharing your cottage with us. PS: Your personal Home's garden is Beautiful.Thanks for letting us hang out in your back yard and fish & Play.

The Garden Cottage is the perfect "Chill out" vacation house. Very professionaly setup ,from the Hot tub to the Feather Beds. This was the cleanest rental we have ever stayed at. Conveniently located to town with easy roads down to the cottage. Would have rated it a 5 but fishing off the property was limited. The water was perfect and the big flat rock was awesome.Nancy has done a great job making the cottage a cozy place to stay.

I was unsure what to expect when we were on our way up the the mountains over the weekend...we were really fortunate that we picked this location....first of all, the directions are perfect....follow them exactly and it will take you right to the locaion.....trout fishing was fantastic...the house was perfect...very nice.....Nancy was a fantastic host!!...next time we will bring another couple....highly suggest this place for a getway..thanks Nancy !!
