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.

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

I recently stayed at Unicoi State Park in Helen, Georgia, and it was a fantastic experience! The park is stunning and impeccably clean, making for a refreshing getaway. Our room was tidy and conveniently located near the charming town, which is filled with delightful shops and excellent restaurants. We particularly loved the Oktoberfest celebration, which added a festive touch to our visit. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful and enjoyable retreat!
