We stayed for one night. It was an inexpensive place to rest our head for the night after a long drive. We were going to Babyland the next day. The mattress is very low quality. I could feel the springs through the mattress. I really wish all hotels would provide quality, comfortable mattresses to sleep on. Housekeeping could do a little better of a job paying attention to a couple things.

Nice place but a little abandoned

We were really excited about the stay at this place because of previous positive reviews.... The truth is that we would have liked a little bit more service in terms of: 1. Cleaning up the room, 2. Some front office service to guide us in the area and on the facility, 3. Offerings on site. It feels like the hotel is only operated by a skeleton crew providing only minimum maintenance!

For overnighting travel the complicated checkin made the staff look poorly. Expedia implied a pay onsite checkin but I never saw the staff. We corresponded entirely by text message. The check-in window is very narrow so you really can only pay and check-in by phone and website. The room HVAC was so loud and blows over the bed every 40 minutes so sleep was bad. The bed was over soft and had a large depression in the middle so we had to sleep close to the edge to minimize back pain. The setting is in good condition but it is dated. Room ventilation was poor so that even the bathroom fan running a long time could not get the excess humidity out of the room. For the value to price, I wish I had stayed elsewhere for an overnight stop.

We enjoyed our stay. Staff at check in appeared friendly and helpful. All ok, but elevator would have been nice. Seemed strange so few people stayed here as the town was full. Quiet and peaceful for sure.

This is a really pretty location in the woods, located just outside Helen. We did book through Hotels.com and there is contactless entry BUT be vigilant the day of. I paid my full amount minus a small amount and the 15.00 a day fee stated ( what Hotel.com asked me to pay like 90% of the fee) but the day of I did not get a code to get in as stated. There is only staff at this location until 5 pm and they are not back until 9 am so I was aware I needed the code as we would not be there until after that time. I messaged them and was told they needed the remaining balance paid before I would get that information. I was at work in the middle of craziness so I had to call in a flurry to get that done… so if you are booking through here and know you will be showing up after 5pm make sure you take care of this or are on top of it. In saying that the woman I spoke to was VERY nice and took care of it and minutes and I received all my codes. I would give this property a 7/10. Pluses- short drive to Helen. Quiet in the woods feel, and a very pretty property. They have wine tastings by appointment, a cute gift shop and a very nice covered venue area, and a back patio with little hanging lights that’s very pretty at night. Ample parking, very clean, the family room if you were with multiple families is a nice touch. They have keurigs with nice mugs in the rooms with good coffee and nice size TVs, and our room had a jacuzzi tub ( we didn’t use it so no reviews on that). A nice veranda

Beautiful lodge with views of the mountains. Quiet and secluded. Bathroom in our room could use updating. Shower took rather long to heat up and the Direct tv in our room didn't work, but we were able to stream via the wifi.

We stayed here for a night this weekend. I specifically sought out a cabin instead of a hotel because my husband loves nature. The cabin was easy to find, cute, and private. There was a private porch with chairs, bathroom, kitchenette, living room area, and a bedroom in the cabin we stayed in. You also get your own parking space for one car and wifi, which was so great because we had NO cell reception. We only had two issues - along the driveway where we parked were a ton of pistachio shells on the ground. It was obviously left there from a previous guest but it was gross and all over the ground as soon as I got out of the car. Another issue was that we were sound asleep after an event and at 5:30 AM the fire alarm started blaring!!! We woke up with so much adrenaline and were panicked looking for smoke or fire - no appliances were on (or used), the ceiling fan was going, there was no reason for it to be blaring. After a few minutes, we started looking for the emergency after hours number and the smoke alarm stopped. I couldn't sleep after that. We told the staff over the phone when we checked out and all they said was that they would tell maintenance. There was no other efforts to make the situation right, which was disappointing. We won't be staying at this location again, which is too bad because we would have if we received more compassion from the staff after sharing our experience.
