“The property was peaceful and comfortable, with easy access to Helen without staying in town. We enjoyed our visit, but a few issues affected our stay.The overpowering air-freshener scent upon arrival triggered an asthma attack and required airing out the home throughout the first day. Guests with fragrance sensitivities should be aware. A few cleaning details also needed closer attention.Checkout instructions differed between Vrbo, the house, and the messages we received. We try hard to follow our hosts’ requests, so this was frustrating. Consistent instructions and less fragrance would improve the experience.”
