The scenery in the mountains was beautiful. The lodge seemed old and kind of depressing. However the staff was really great!

Disliked: Amenities
The lodge’s bedrooms were quite acceptable, downside is there is no door to bathroom toilet area. No privacy from other guests in the room. The website hours were different to the tavern’s opening hours; no food available between 1:30 and 4pm. The food in the Tavern restaurant is not good; service is exceptionally slow. We waited 30 mins for the drinks order and over an hour and a half for food. Advice is not to eat there as the service, food and prices are not good. The prices are way too high for what you get!

We just stayed there during Christmas. We enjoyed it! The views of the creek and mountains were beautiful! There was construction in the lodge area, but it was okay; we had no issues with it since we spent our days out. I did wish the shuttle service and amenities were available on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day so we could take advantage of them, but we couldn't, so we went into town. Breakfast was disappointing, that is the area they need to improve. Overall, it was a great place to stay, and I'm sure after the renovations, it's going to look even better. We will be back!

The property is centrally located, but they were in the process of renovating the lodge when my family visited. Certain entrances were blocked off so we had to walk all the way around to get to our room.

Go!!!
This was a spur of the moment stay on our way back to NC. The place was nestle in the Mountains. The room was clean, the bed was so comfortable, and staff were very friendly. It is within 10 minutes of Downtown Helen, Ga. I highly recommend. We can’t wait to go back!

I liked that is in the woods and quiet but I did not like that the upstairs rooms are not easily accessible and I didn’t know there were no elevators until we arrived. I had a lady with me who does not do stairs well, she is older and is in remission from cancer so it was a challenge. Parking is far away from the rooms. I thought there was breakfast included but was told it was $13.95 per person. For the price and the difficulty getting in and out I would not stay there again.
