It was an amazing place to stay. Great price for the quality and service. It is far enough away from the tourist area of Helen, GA but a quick drive when it is time to be the tourist. Comfort bed, very clean, no smoke smell at all, looks like a cabin on the inside. Can't wait to go back.

Everything was perfect! The location was perfect, not too far from things to do by yet far enough that we were away from the bustle in Helen GA. The owner made sure we were comfortable and happy when we arrived with a text message. The next morning when we were leaving for the day, she introduced herself to make sure we had everything we needed. I was surprised how nice the room was, the pictures didn't do it justice. It was large, and with an area for the bed, dining room and living room and Kitchenet. The restaurant, The Dugout Sports Bar, is next to the lodge which was a bonus. The food, staff and location were perfect. Again, the southern hospitality was endearing and welcoming. We felt at home and slept like babies. Glad we picked Nacoochee Valley Lodge for our trip.

Wonderful Weekend at Nacoochee Valkey Lodge

We just got back home and unpacked. Now time for a quick recap. What a wonderful stay! The Big Horn suite, with its king and queen beds, were perfect for a family. The room had some great personal touches that accentuated the knotty pine and rancher furnishings. We were very comfortable and weren’t lacking of anything. Cindy is a treasure and looked after us well. As a matter of fact, the entire family were anxious to ensure we had a good stay. And I am glad we had the chance to eat at The Dugout, which is also part of the family business. The attention to quality and service there carries through from the lodge. Also, let me say that staying five miles from Helen was close enough yet away from the crowds. The setting was very peaceful and beautiful. Finally, I can assure we will be back this Fall! Thanks again for a wonderful experience.

Very surprised at the property! It is an old Motel that they have revamped and it is cozy cabins in each suite! We had Big Whiskey with a large king size poster bed, large bathroom, seating area, Kitchenette with coffeemaker and coffee aupplied. Very nice place and will return. Clean towels, loads of parking, quiet location and a back deck! Ot jas a restaurant called the Dugout at the top of parking lot that has great food and you get a discount. Consider this as it is just 6 miles outside of Helen .
