Helen Hike Wine and Dine Private Tour from Atlanta
"Staff very friendly and helpful. Room exceptionally clean and well stocked with towels, coffee, etc. Beautiful scenery, peaceful and quiet. Greatly enjoyed our stay there."
"The rooms are clean and comfy, the lobby is gorgeous, the coffee shop is legit. Nightly smores around the fire pit, right on the lake, can walk to the water park of inflatable slides on the lake."
"Great location on the lake.
My husband and I kayacked, fished, brought our pup along. We enjoyed sitting on the porch overlooking the lake.
The owners were more than welcoming, anticipated our needs before we thought of them. "
"This is an "ok" place to stay. The rooms are clean but there are absolutely no amenities. There were electrical problems in our room and they did not turn on the AC prior to our arrival. With temps in the 90s it took quite a while for our room to cool.down. The view was the best part of our stay."
