Alpine Valley Inn

"Our stay was good! Everything was clean and the staff was very friendly and helpful."

Mountain Forest Manor

10/10 Excellent

"My girlfriend and I stayed at this property during our trip around North Georgia, and we had a wonderful experience! The location was very convenient for exploring nearby attractions such as Helen, Brasstown Bald, and Blood Mountain. The property was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, and we especially appreciated the cozy bed-and-breakfast atmosphere and the breakfast provided. Having access to a bathtub and sauna was also a great bonus, especially for relaxing after a long day of hiking and sightseeing. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this property to anyone planning to explore North Georgia!"

Days Inn by Wyndham Helen

8/10 Good

"The hotel was incredibly close to Main St and made touring Helen much simpler. However, the door to our room would get stuck and was incredibly difficult to push open. The bathtub did not drain well and the shower curtain was too short so water soaked the bathroom floor. The room was clean and well-stocked and the AC was lovely and fairly quiet. There was no coffee in the room and the breakfast spread in the lobby was very limited and disappointing. And the pool was closed but that makes sense with it being October. Parking was great. Privacy was great. The hotel was very quiet. We enjoyed our stay but do feel like the hotel was overpriced for the actual state of things but we did go in peak tourist season and it was very close to the main area so I can understand some price increase. Will most likely stay again if only to avoid having to deal with parking at the hotels that are actually on Main Street."

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Helen

10/10 Excellent

"I like my room because I had a window view towards the street. It was nice."

Mountain Valley Inn Dillard

8/10 Good

"Place had 8.2 star which was a little high in my opinion for the type of place. There was a lot of “junk” around the front office that appeared renovations maybe were being done. The room was clean but definitely could use updating. Had to turn heater on and the smell was horrible. Could hear everything going on upstairs most of the night. There was a lot of young people hanging around outside a good bit of the evening. The staff was very pleasant checking in. Not sure I would stay there again though."

Dahlonega Resort and Vineyard
