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.
