Great property, views and natural trails around. The front staff was very nice.The room we stayed in had a terrible body fluid smell. The shuttle service was non existent. I haven't seen it run once during our 3 nights stay. The restaurant was under staffed with one poor waiter completely overwhelmed.

The area was beautiful and there was no shortage of outdoor adventures for every fitness level. Whether it was just enjoying the fresh air and scenery, hiking the numerous trails, shopping in Helen or trying the ziplines and watersports. We did not like that the tavern hours and shuttle hours were subject to change without notice. We did not bring our own food because we stayed at the lodge and had planned on visiting the tavern or restaurants in the area. We found out the hard way that without reliable transportation, if you did not plan well by packing some of your own food, you may not be able to get meals on some days or certain hours of the day.

We had a trailer. There is no trailer parking near the lodge. We had to park it about a mile away at some abandoned tennis courts. We were very uncomfortable leaving it there as there was no security.

All around good property experience from check in to check out. Upstairs has a pool table, bar and grill, plus a restaurant. Went for a night cap and the service was pretty bad though. Not greeted because the bartender seemed to be to busy yelling at her helper in the middle of the floor. Eventually the manager took our order. Besides that issue make sure you walk around and see the sights. Many beautiful spots all around

My good friend came to visit me from out of town for his birthday and he had never been to Unicoi or the Helen, Georgia area, so I looked up local places, and stumbled upon this amazing hidden gem, The Unicoi State Park & Lodge! The staff was amazing, food was great, rooms were perfect, and I am so glad I decided to book his stay with this Lodge! It simply exceeded my expectations, and I have nothing but great things to say about the entire place! A Special thanks to Nae, Brooke, and Chris from the Tavern!

Our experience overall was pleasant. Would return for the price. Pros: Very comfy bed. Room felt pretty clean. Great location. Cool grounds. Cons: On our way to the hotel, I called multiple times over the span of an hour to try and get in touch with someone to ask if there was mini fridges in the rooms, which we were really banking on. We had items with us that needed to be refrigerated and/or kept in a freezer box. No one ever answered nor ever returned my call after leaving a voicemail that I was prompted to leave. (spoiler, they are in the rooms, but there's no freezer box in the fridge). I've never experienced a hotel being completely unreachable via phone. Pillows were really thin/ skimpy with stains on the covers. Ick. (Hence why I always travel with my own pillow in case). We knew breakfast wasn't included, but some of the staple food available was not at all worthy of a $15+ price tag per person. The eggs were dry, overcooked, and what you might expect at free continental breakfast. Overall, the quality/options just did not at all match the price tag. Had I known, I would have gone elsewhere to pay for a meal of better quality. They were also running low on a few things. I witnessed some guests not even able to get some food because it ran out. If we're paying for our meals, everything should be available till the last minute breakfast is listed to end. The wifi was spotty and tv signal dropped out multiple times when it started raining (it was light rain)

Everything was perfect until the second day where we encountered a roach on our way to our room later another one was crawling on the wall in our room and next morning one was at the door as we walked out. The room was cleaned and comfortable but since they are in a rural area they should do fumigation more often. They had a full house so we couldn't change rooms so front desk couldn't help on the other hand they have a free shuttle and first day manager was very helpful and nice
