Helendorf Inn Stay for Christmas
I recently stayed at the Helendorf Inn in Helen, GA, and overall, it was a pleasant experience. The location is fantastic, with the hotel nestled right by the river, offering beautiful views from the room. Sitting on the balcony and soaking in the peaceful scenery was a definite highlight of my stay. The staff at Helendorf were exceptionally polite and friendly, going above and beyond to ensure guests feel welcome and comfortable. Their warm hospitality added a personal touch to the experience, making it even more enjoyable. The rooms, while clean and functional, do feel a bit outdated. That said, given the charm and history of the property, this is understandable and didn’t detract much from the overall experience. A little modernization might elevate the comfort level, but the rustic vibe does complement the quaint, Bavarian-themed town. If you're visiting Helen and looking for a cozy spot with excellent service and lovely views, Helendorf is a solid choice. I would happily stay here again!

We had a spectacular time in Helen, GA and the hotel was key for this! Everything was walking distance! Great restaurants around the area, Mountain Coaster was crossing the street, lots of shops around, etc! Our bedroom was really comfortable and clean for our family of 4 and has everything you could need for a short stay! Including a mini fridge and microwave!!! Balcony with a beautiful view to the river and the bridge, etc! We highly recommend staying here! Breakfast needs to improve a little but at least a good cup of coffee and some sweets are included in your stay!

Excellent location. In the middle of it all. It was clean and enjoyable. My only suggestion is some renovations -,squicky doors and beds and not enough outlets; that don’t really charge and some more lighting. Some changes to the continental breakfast would be good,such as adding two waffle makers.
