First let’s talk about how nice they were at the front desk, Kayla figured out a credit card issue for us and was very patient. The property was in a perfect area to be able to walk to all The Oktoberfest Festivities, love the swings by the river, super relaxing. Loved the quick breakfast options to grab on your way out for the day especially the lemon loaf and waffles in a bag. The property could be updated a bit and it would be nice if the curtains could block all the walkway light, and if the bathroom and toilet wasn’t such a tight area. But overall, it was a great stay for the price, I will definitely be back!

Excellent location, safe and quiet. Dog friendly with a dog park right next to the river. On the pricey side for bringing your dog as they charge per day and not a one time charge. Everything in Helen is easy walking distance for shopping and dinning.

Hotel was walking distance to the town. Room was very clean. River runs in front of the property with swings that you can sit in and watch the tubers come through. Great little spot!
