We left the hotel at 10:30 pm. We checked out and drove the 3 hours home. We couldn't sleep, people were to loud in the hallway and outside. You could also smell weed in our room. We would like our money back, very disappointed. We won't recommend this place to anyone.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The room was 80 degrees when we got there because the AC units (3 of them in the cabin) weren’t working. Maintenance person came twice (very helpful guy) and he confirmed that there weren’t working and there wasn’t anything to be done to get them up and running. Hotel offered my family and I a full refund and that we could look for a room somewhere else at 6:00PM (with my 11 y/o daughter) in a packed small town. The cabins and AC units are obviously in need of good maintenance. Before booking, make sure to ask for a room that is in working order.

The location to downtown Helen is excellent. There are nice hiking trails, we did one around the lake 2.5miles and one into downtown Helen 3 miles. Free shuttle into town runs every hour. Nice fire pit area. Room was clean and bed was comfortable. We did not eat breakfast on site but the coffee was good.

My husband and I arrived at the property at 3:30pm. I went to attempt to check in early, but was yelled at by a stressed out male clerk stating that check in is at 4pm. We parked our car and explored the property. They had a firepit with chairs around it. There was a restaurant and bar on site that had excellent food and service! The only thing we didn't realize when we booked this lodge for one night is that it doesn't have any elevators. So beware! We had to haul all our luggage up 3 flights of stairs.

Perfect place to be surrounded by nature. Room was spacious and window overlooked mountains. Fire pit at night was nice as was the lit fireplace inside. Shuttle to downtown Helen was appreciated. Very close to Anna Ruby Falls, and lake is beautiful. We only had one day there, we will be back
