We chose this property while we were visiting Helen, Ga. This was a great choice, the property sells itself. Nice fire pits on cool nights. The hotel offers free s’mores to the guest. Good times for family and friends.

I love the view of the lake and mountains. The decor and the seating area with the cozy fireplace in the lobby area are so relaxing. As a handicapped senior, it would be appreciated to have a microwave in the room, instead of just ONE for the whole floor way down the hall.😒

The resort is in a lovely location and we enjoyed the lake view and the breakfast was fantastic. We were somewhat concerned with the balcony railings. Very rotten wood and some banisters were falling out. The landscaping crew must be on vacation. So much work to be done.
