Willkommen Haus - Perfect Gathering Place for Friends and Family
Willkommen Haus is The Welcome House in German! Just minutes from downtown Alpine Helen, it is the perfect gathering place for friends and family visiting the North Georgia Mountains. The rocking chair front porch welcomes guests to sit and enjoy the wooded view and listen to the sound of nature.
Enter Willkommen Haus to the warmth of the vaulted knotty pine ceiling. Lots of windows make this open living room, kitchen and dining area the perfect place to bask in the natural light of day. The living room features a wood-burning fireplace with a 65" flat screen television. Perfect size for game day! There is also a ceiling fan in this room.
The kitchen is well equipped with a 4-door refrigerator that includes a water and ice dispenser, a beautiful large gas stove top and oven, and a stainless steel lined dishwasher. The cabinets and drawers are filled with dinnerware, glassware, cookware and all the utensils you will need. The small appliances include a standard drip coffee maker, toaster, blender and a crock pot. There are plenty of pots and pans, as well as casserole dishes to create a vacation meal to talk about. The long kitchen bar has room for 4 people, while the dining area table has room for 6. The dining area is highlighted with a chandelier and Edison or filament light bulbs.
Just outside the back door is the outdoor living space with a sofa, chairs and an outdoor firepit. There is a gas grill for those game day barbeques and another dining table for six. Just beyond the back patio and deck is hole #15 of the golf course! Check with The Valhalla Resort and Golf Club for tee times and fees. Don't miss the spectacular views from any of the resort restaurants, too. On the main floor, just beyond the kitchen is a laundry room with a washer and a dryer, iron and ironing board.
The master king bedroom is also located on the main floor. In this room is also a dresser and chest of drawers, a ceiling fan, as well as a small television. There is even a small desk for those who just can't stop working while on vacation! The ensuite bathroom has a lovely jetted garden tub and a modern walk-in shower.
All bedrooms on the main floor, upstairs and downstairs feature Berber carpet, while the rest of the house is hardwood flooring, polished to a beautiful shine. Each bedroom also has a ceiling fan and its very own television. They are all Smart TVs with streaming channels. Choose from one of the many free channels, or bring your subscription information to sign-in to your favorite shows, games and movies. Just don't forget to log out of your subscriptions before your departure.
Upstairs is where a queen bedroom and twin bedroom are found. There is a shared bathroom with a shower/tub combination, too. Being on the front of the house, the downstairs queen bedroom receives lots of natural light. This room has a big screen television and an oversized bathroom with a shower/tub combination.

Reviewer Comments:
The house was beautiful and clean! And perfect for our group. My only suggestion (not a complaint) would be a more well equipped kitchen. As a group that cooks most of our meals, it was lacking in some basics. Most places we rent have basics like salt & pepper, foil, measuring cups, leftover containers.
My family and I enjoyed our stay in this beautiful mountain house over Thanksgiving break. Everything was clean, the beds were comfortable and more than enough linens were provided. There were no issues during our stay.
Based on some earlier reviews, we were worried that the kitchen wasn't going to be well supplied with cooking utensils and small appliances but we were nicely surprised to find a very well stocked kitchen. All of the essentials hand tools were provided, there was also an electric kettle, crock pot and plenty of pots, pans, baking dishes, cookie sheets and baking trays.
The one small disappointment, is that my son never got to see a bear but can't hold the management company responsible for that. We hope to come back next year, maybe we'll see one then.
We absolutely loved it here. The house was beautiful. The highlight was seeing a mother bear and FIVE cubs walk by one morning out back. We also saw two deer.
The area was so quiet and peaceful. I was nervous driving around the curves and up the hill to the house, but probably because I’m from the flat state of Florida! It was a short distance to everywhere we wanted to go in the area. CeNita Winery was one of our favorite stops.
The house was very clean and the perfect size for me and five of my friends. We enjoyed use of the kitchen and coffee maker. Be sure to bring anything you may need though- including ziploc bags or foil.
My only suggestion would be adding an additional door between the garage area and the staircase up to the living room. We saw some centipedes and a frog we would have rather avoided.
We spent much needed family time, watching movies, eating great food, and enjoying the shops of downtown Helen. Our stay was magical. We will definitely return next summer.

The cabin itself and the location were great. The property was beautiful, well maintained, and in a very convenient and scenic area, which we really enjoyed. The cabin was comfortable and met our expectations in terms of space, layout, and overall condition.However, we were disappointed by the lack of basic kitchen supplies. There were no essentials such as salt, pepper, cooking oil, or even coffee available. For a vacation rental, especially one meant for short stays, we expected at least some basic items to be provided.Overall, while we enjoyed the location and the cabin itself. With a few improvements in this area, the stay could be excellent.
Had good communication with management company. Property was ok - missing some key items in kitchen and did not provide laundry detergent (but did provide dishwasher detergent?). Was not given wi-fi password until requested. Had some issues with water leaking in the pantry during rainstorm.
We enjoyed our stay at Willkommen Haus. The house was very clean, spacious, and comfortable. Location was close to downtown Helen, just a short drive. We would give this a 10 as far as a rental. The only note I would add is we have stayed at other VRBO rentals that had more items available in the kitchen. This appeared to be a rental only home, no one lives or stays here on a regular basis so more items might be needed for cooking if you have a longer stay. But for our 3 nights we had all we need. Would definitely rent again.

We had a wonderful stay at this rental home! The property description was very accurate—the location, layout, and amenities were exactly as advertised, which made planning our trip so easy. The house itself was very clean, well-maintained, and felt welcoming from the moment we arrived.The owner/manager provided excellent customer service, quickly answering any questions and making sure everything went smoothly during our stay. I would definitely recommend this property to friends and family looking for a comfortable and convenient place to stay.While we were there, we enjoyed shopping and the Georgia Mountain Coaster. We also had some great meals at Hofer’s and Bodensee. The location made it easy to enjoy both relaxation at the house and fun adventures nearby.Overall, this rental was a perfect fit for our trip, and we would love to come back again!

Rented this property for an annual girls trip with five women. While this home has many positives such as its size, location to downtown and tranquility, there were several negatives unfortunately to our stay. Upon entering the house, my friends and I immediately noticed the overwhelming musty smell. That smell and the moisture issue were quite overwhelming especially for those who had breathing issues and allergies. The home needs a serious deep clean! Dirty upholstery on the sofa, stained carpets, dead bugs in windows/on counter tops, cob webs, soiled and stained bedding/quilts and towels/washcloths that did not appear to be clean or were stained, The property management did reach out to check on our stay via email and text, however, my friends and I were on our annual girls weekend trip and we did not want to spend our time waiting on housekeeping. We had a full day of activities planned and I chose to not contact them in regards to our concerns. My opinion is those things should ALREADY be taken care of and checked prior to a guest’s arrival! No one wants to be seeing about things such as the cleanliness of a property after they have arrived and are ready to enjoy their time away! I did let the company know a few of my concerns when I called to report we were checking out. I would very much love to give this home more stars but sadly it just did NOT earn them. This place could easily be top notch with some TLC and attention.

Reviewer Comments:
The house was big enough for all guest; however, the floors were not clean, kitchen countertops needed to be wiped off. the outdoor furniture was covered with pollen as well as the front porch. The rain did wash off the patio furniture, but the front porch remained covered with pollen. We returned Saturday and noticed that the main floor AC unit was not working. I called the afterhours line, reported the AC not working. I was told that they we see what they can do. It was miserably hot and we had to raise the windows which after sundown became very cold. Not too happy with the response or lack of response about the AC.
Upon entering the resort, I was disappointed with the overgrowth of weeds and grass at the clubhouse and at the house itself. To me the grass needing cutting is the first thing I spot. If this is considered a luxury resort, it was disappointing. The street sign could not be seen due to tree limbs blocking part of it. My husband leaned against the front porch railing and the right side pushed out. It is not attached to the porch column. I called Sherry about it and was told someone would be out to fix it. Never was fixed while we were there. Could not use the patio furniture because they were too dirty. The furniture should have been rinsed off before arrival. There is a water hose five feet from the furniture. Inside the house was nice. A few under cabinet lights did not work. In the shower there is no shelf to put your body wash and shampoo. I had to place them on the floor of the shower. FYI, if you sleep in the master bedroom, you can hear everything that goes on in the bedroom and bathroom below in the garage. The sound comes up through the air vents. Overall the house is nice.
