Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The owners of the property were responsive and helpful, and their check in instructions were easy. We weren't aware of the $80 resort fee and wish that had been clearer. Finding the cabin was easy, but be prepared for a tight turn and steep hill. The cabin itself was beautiful and the closed porch was great for our dog to hang out on. There's not much of a view, but it wasn't what we were going for. The biggest downside was the beds - they were not comfortable and left my back sore. Overall, it was pretty, convenient to Helen, and within our budget.

It was wonderful, I will say Expedia advertises this property as sound proof room and that is not true at all, the property also stated that this is incorrect so we mentioned for the property manager to have kayak and Expedia fix this as this was the reason it was booked due to our dogs. It changed up our trip since we couldn’t go off and explore unless we took our dogs (they bark) The place was clean and the staff was really kind. The bed was amazing!! We got to enjoy the jacuzzi tub in our room, except it drained the whole time but it was still wonderful! Very close to Yonah and the town of Helen which you must check out!

The staff was pleasant when addressed. The windows could use blackout curtains as we could not sleep due to the parking lot lights. The room was clean but needed updating. Also, had a musty smell as we entered. We bought an off brand bottle of wine from the gift shop which was $55 to our surprise. The clerk informed us that only one wine glass was supplied per room and gave us plastic cups. Really? We just paid $55 for a bottle of your subpar wine. We used the coffee mugs. No one said hello or goodbye. Did not feel very welcome.

Planned our anniversary at the Lodge. We were very pleased with the ease of check in, cleanliness and how private it was!. We did have a shared balcony but that was fine. Perfect weather 👌. Ac was good and cold. Shower nice and hot. Loved how it was just a short 8 min ride to helen. And Cleveland is just right down the road and has some great restaurants. Try Ol Cyldes!. We will definitely be back thank yall so much. They have have an email and text message that you can contact the employees and they have always been prompted and very helpful to me.

The Odor.

The room itself was great. When we arrived everything downstairs and upstairs was fine. We went out to supper and when we arrived back there was the most horrendous odor that hit you when you walked in the door. The horrible odor remained the entire weekend and followed us upstairs. We were unable to enjoy the common room due to the odor hit us the minute we stepped out our door. No explanation was given by the worker in the gift shop.
