The overall best part was the staff: Terry was an incredibly hard working man (he did everything from making breakfast, to checking people in and out, to housekeeping when needed to running to the store to get supplies, to pruning bushes!). walking distance to all the stores along the main street. Had it been cooler, we would have relaxed there in the evenings. There's also a small courtyard with tables and chairs between the houses and near the koi pond. Wonderful to have during the hot July days in Helen. They made nice bedtime snacks :) Outside there was bottled water for the taking. There was also a tray of snacks (cupcakes, ding-dongs, etc) to grab to take with you. plus various breads to toast if desired, cereals, OJ, coffee, teas, ice water and more. We were very pleasantly surprised! Terry and his helper Darlene produced a feast each morning: eggs, sausages, crisp bacon, a different pancake each day. Breakfast was included and we were skeptical, making plans to go to a restaurant if the comp breakfast wasn't up to snuff. Two sinks: one in bath area and the other in the living area where there was also a microwave and refrigerator. The shower was small, but good water pressure. Room also had a red heart-shaped tub for two. The suite has no view to speak of, but the convenience made up for it. great for those who do not wish to climb the many steps to the regular rooms. Ground floor access with parking just outside the door. We had the Royal Elegance Suite for three nights. I could not recommend Black Forest enough and encourage all travelers to Helen to book with Terry for their next visit to the Alpine City. The prime location of this bed and breakfast means that it is within walking distance of many delicious restaurants, shops, a local grocery store, the dispensary, and even a Biergarten. Furthermore, the on-site parking made excursions even more accessible throughout the day. The bed and breakfast’s convenient location relevant to downtown Helen and nearby attractions such as Babyland General and multiple hiking trails and waterfalls allowed us to make the most of our weekend trip to Helen. We fell in love with this cute bed and breakfast and loved being able to enjoy breakfast with the staff and fellow guests each morning. What the amenities lacked in modernity was made up for in pure charm. Although my friend I were worried because a honeymoon suite was the only room we could book in town on such a short notice, we ended up having an amazing getaway in a cozy, cabin-like room that we grew to adore. Terry and the fellow staff were some of the most hospitable people I have ever encountered. A friend and I booked a honeymoon suite in this cute vacation rental right on the outskirts of downtown Helen.
