Beautiful state park, quiet, trees were lovely. Great front desk staff. Room was significantly over priced, not the value I was looking for. Great updated room. Did not include breakfast. No elevator for luggage. Won't stay here again but was local to Helen.

When we got to our room one of the beds had a soiled stain and the phone in the room didn’t work. I used my cell phone to call the front desk. I held for 30 minutes before anyone picked up. They sent housekeeping and changed the sheets and we noticed the floor was wet from the AC unit. They sent maintenance and she told us that we may swap rooms because the room below us had a leak from the ceiling. We packed up and when maintenance arrived, they used a wet vac to get the water up and said it was leaking through the window and we should be fine. I finally went to bed after midnight. She also said they were extremely short staffed and only had 5 workers when they had 20 before. I asked to be compensated for some of the stay and they said I would have to deal with Expedia. They wouldn’t be able to help with that. It was not a pleasant experience. We were tired and needed to rest before our next early day of activities.

We loved the zip-lining, kayaking, hiking, and Anna ruby falls. Nice views of the north GA mountains. Lodge rooms are fine for our fam of 4. Strong weed smell in our hall, but maybe it’s not always like that.

I liked that the lodge was tucked in the woods. The lodge was big, warm and inviting. I didn't like that our only option for breakfast on the weekend was a buffet. We don't typically eat that much food so ended up going to town for breakfast.
