My husband and I arrived at the property at 3:30pm. I went to attempt to check in early, but was yelled at by a stressed out male clerk stating that check in is at 4pm. We parked our car and explored the property. They had a firepit with chairs around it. There was a restaurant and bar on site that had excellent food and service! The only thing we didn't realize when we booked this lodge for one night is that it doesn't have any elevators. So beware! We had to haul all our luggage up 3 flights of stairs.

Perfect place to be surrounded by nature. Room was spacious and window overlooked mountains. Fire pit at night was nice as was the lit fireplace inside. Shuttle to downtown Helen was appreciated. Very close to Anna Ruby Falls, and lake is beautiful. We only had one day there, we will be back

I recently stayed at Unicoi State Park in Helen, Georgia, and it was a fantastic experience! The park is stunning and impeccably clean, making for a refreshing getaway. Our room was tidy and conveniently located near the charming town, which is filled with delightful shops and excellent restaurants. We particularly loved the Oktoberfest celebration, which added a festive touch to our visit. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful and enjoyable retreat!
