Nice quiet location. However, you cannot walk to nearby shops and restaurants due to the steep hill cabin is on. Also it would be nice if there was a washer/dryer.

House was clean upon arrival. Pros: 1. Close to town. 2. Clean property. 3. Private hot tub.Cons:1. Missing a roll of toilet paper in upstairs bathroom (each should have 2 per listing). 2. Only 2 rocking chairs on upper deck (photo shows 4 and I had 4 people). Not sure where others were. 3. Miscommunication with listing company. Was told my credit card didn't work for final payment and asked for payment earlier than what my email had stated. Found out that the card issue was on the rental company side not mine.4. Terrible driveway - EXTREMELY STEEP. Once we got up the drive with my SUV, we NEVER drove until time to leave. Walked everywhere but the climb up the drive was horrible. I would not recommend anyone without a 4 wheel drive renting this place. Had I realized how steep the driveway was I would not have rented myself. Also, would not recommend this property for elderly or handicapped individuals due to driveway access.5. No washer or dryer within unit6. Blankets in downstairs closet just laying in floor and appeared to be used. I did not know if they had been cleaned so afraid to use them.7. Batteries in TV remotes and outdoors fans needed to be replaced as several did not work. We had to swap them around depending on what we were using (TV and outside fans)

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!

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.

Beautiful stay, great location

We had a beautiful stay! Nice view of Helen, the mountains and trees. Jacuzzi is on the front porch and was very nice. I would just give a heads up to anyone with cars low to the ground - the driveway up is very steep and initially getting on it made my Rav-4s tires spin for a moment every time until it straightened out going up. Not sure if that could provide issues for a 2 wheel drive vehicle. Also, it's a steep walk up/down so anyone who can't walk steep hills should keep that in mind. Cabin was a perfect stay for us, we just walked downtown and back to avoid the Oktoberfest traffic!

Not for the elderly or weak

This place is not for the elderly unless their in great shape. Downstairs is the kitchen, dining room and 1 bedroom. Upstairs is the living room with a small refrigerator and coffee pot and 2nd bedroom. The pictures of the living room on the website are not what’s there. It is just 2 sofas and no end table or coffee table to set your drinks on. I called when we arrived to see if they could bring us some end tables or something to put drinks and etc on. I was told they didn’t have anything. My husband and I went to Ace and purchased 2 folding tables for $19.00 each. For the money you spend for this rental, you would think they would have offered to do that. My 84 year old mother had a hard time going up and downstairs if she wanted something to eat. We checked out a day early due to this. I was also surprised they didn’t have the amenities all other rentals we have been to like an ice maker or a washer and dryer.
