This was an outstanding place to stay. The staff was so nice and very helpful when we had questions. Dinner at the bar was expensive, but well worth it. Danielle was an amazing bartender! Ashley at the front desk was great. We highly recommend and will definitely return.

The room, location, and view were outstanding. The elevator was out so that was an inconvenience. But if you want to skip the loudness of Helen and get back to nature, this is an ideal lodge.

We came to the Helen area for an event that kept us away from the property most of our time. We found the location to be the BEST feature for our stay. Close to Helen but away from the hustle and bustle of the "tourist attractions". We enjoyed the morning view of Yonah Mt. and the lush tree landscape, peaceful and quiet. The property is fairly well maintained and our room was a 4 out of 5 on cleanliness. A few swipes with a bug brush along the tongue and groove ceiling to remove old spider webs and we'd give it a 5 star on cleanliness. Bed linens needed a refresh as well as the bed pillows.
