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.

We didn't eat there. The restaurant was 2 hours behind in serving dinner, so we didn't chance breakfast.

I like the peaceful of the environment. The setting was gorgeous. When you looked out the window and saw the green, it was truly peaceful. I didn’t like there was a stain on the fitted sheet.

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!

Clean room and spacious. We had view of the woods. Large windows.However, no microwave in the room, you need to walk to where the ice/ vending machine is to warm anything. Only one chair by the table, 2 cant eat their sandwich together. We are in the 2 queen bed room, white covers, afriad to put unoack other suitcase in bed, might stain the cover! Ample parking, a little walk where your building is. Breaksfast buffet is reasonably priced with lots of selection.There is an Italian restaurant and Tavern with good selection in menu. Hiking trails there, zip lining and a short drive to main street in Helen. Quiet and relaxing, away from the noise.

It was very quiet, & the room was spacious, the beds comfortable. This is more like a conference center than a resort. No pool, no activities, other than a zip line, which is a separate cost. Next time we go will certainly stay in another hotel in down town.
