Go!!!
This was a spur of the moment stay on our way back to NC. The place was nestle in the Mountains. The room was clean, the bed was so comfortable, and staff were very friendly. It is within 10 minutes of Downtown Helen, Ga. I highly recommend. We can’t wait to go back!

Merry Christmas!!
The lodge was a lovely place to stay, especially with its Christmas decor. The only negative was having to lug our luggage up a stairway. The beds were super comfortable! The location was just right for visiting Helen GA!

Karah at the front desk was very helpful and friendly, and even gave me an apple from a bowl kept at the front desk. The renovated rooms were stellar.

I refuse to rate poorly but feel being honest in written review is important. Traffic was horrible on the way up and we were not going to arrive till after 10pm. While driving we called and on hold waiting for attendant making about 10 calls and 45 min before finally reaching someone. Then we asked about a fire and was informed the fire pit is a community fire pit and we pay for the wood and others can pitch in. We asked about s'mores and were informed the kit was $50.
This is not my first time here. Grounds are great and we enjoyed the location
