My wife and I stayed at Sylvan Valley Lodge & Cellars for our Anniversary and it was fabulous. Lucy, at the front desk was amazing! She went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. The location is peaceful and only 8 minutes from downtown Helen. We loved our short stay and wouldn't hesitate to stay here again!

It was beautiful, peaceful, and quiet! If you are looking for a place to stay that is close to Helen but not right on the strip, this would be the place to go!! It isn't a big chain hotel, so there aren't people running up and down the hallways. We really enjoyed it and will definitely be back!!

The stay was absolutely amazing. We checked in with no problems. Our cabin was so cute and cozy. The bed was super comfortable and loved having the fireplace in the evenings. We were able to have our dog there with us. We had a wine tasting with Lucy on property that was wonderful. Just a 10 minute drive to a Helen and many outdoor hiking opportunities. We will definitely stay again.

This is a beautiful property! The accommodations were clean and very comfortable. Things were calm and quiet. I liked the ease of access and check-in with the door code system. We enjoyed the heart-shaped hot tub. As an amateur naturalist, I noticed and especially enjoyed the historical botanical prints on the walls - that was a special little detail, and I and would love to know more of the story about these prints.
