Great location and price
This was a last minute reservation. Price was great and location was amazing. Pro’s: beautiful beach area, right on the water, walking distance to everything, small and quaint place, shower was large. Con’s: mattress was way too hard for our liking, lights from outside shined into room. Overall, we loved staying here and would definitely stay again!!

Quiet and next to the water.
One must keep in mind this is a very old property so you should not expect it to be in the best of condition. Having said that, the property is very quaint and located next to the river (The Chattahoochee is but a small creek running through Helen as these are the headwaters for the river) and located in a very quiet area at the end of a short roadway. I have stayed at this property many times since 1986 and though, as stated above, it is quite old today, the rooms are adequate for the region. There was black mold in the grouting of the shower and the linens are very basic. Although there is a “breakfast” area in the small lobby it consists mainly of cellophane wrapped “snack cakes” and two fruit juices and of course coffee. Do not, and I can’t express this strongly enough, expect anything hot (sausage, eggs, pancakes, waffles, etc.) to be served! You stay here for the few of the river and the quiet!
