Wonderful quiet relaxing stay, super nice place. We will try and go back again
Pros:

This place was very nice, comfortable and very clean. We were able to relax and enjoy the fall colors. Must give a big Thank you to Sherry and her husband they helped us out a lot and went well beyond they made us feel as if we were family.

Cons:

Wish there was a restaurant on the property. However, they do offer a simple breakfast like oatmeal, grits, yogurt, fruit, and the most wonderful coffee and a bit more. Also didn't like that there was on one present when we first got in but there was a misunderstanding and Sherry came right away all turned out well.

Would definitely visit again.
Pros:

Beautiful. Quiet. Awesome staff. The bed and pillow was amazing.

Cons:

The adjoining room wouldn’t shut up till we banged on the wall at 230 am. The AC unit only stayed on for 20 seconds and was very noisy.

Spooky Lodge at Helen
Pros:

How can you rate 5 stars? This property needs to be taken over to professionally manage.

Cons:

We met the receptionist just once on check-in. There is no service at all, no restaurant or Bar, and you're in the middle of nowhere. On check out nobody so just sent 📲 SMS which was acknowledged.

The Room has a Window Air Conditioner which would shut off every 2 mins. After spending an hour playing with the panel managed to set an off timer for six hours to catch sleep 🫣 Repeat next night.

Property is way off from downtown Helen with nothing at all in the vicinity. Beware of Bears.
