We enjoyed the stay in a king room, big property and lots of walking, although that makes the property good because it’s wide open, would definitely stay again, if you want to stay out of the busy area in Helen and be only a few mins away this is great!

It's a beautiful location, but honestly the Lodge is just one notch above camping in July because the halls and common areas are not air conditioned. Additionally, the continental breakfast was not included and at $17 I would not recommend it. Dotti's in Helen is a wonderful alternative for a nice country breakfast including Cathead biscuits.

This was an outstanding place to stay. The staff was so nice and very helpful when we had questions. Dinner at the bar was expensive, but well worth it. Danielle was an amazing bartender! Ashley at the front desk was great. We highly recommend and will definitely return.

Clean facilities. Only issue and not sure anything can be done is that the walls were too thin. Could hear neighbors through drywall.
