Lovely setting. Evening smores is a great idea that provides a reason to stay outdoors. Very nice and attentive staff. Resort is a little understaffed and building finishes are a little worn and could be updated.

Outside of hotel was beautiful. Beds were comfy. However, the balcony room was unlocked when I entered. There was no hook for the showers. Lots of holes in the room & general smell of mold.

The property has two floors and quiet. I rated four stars for staff, because the front desk staff was not readily/physically available. Other visitors also waited for front desk staff to appear. I rated four stars on the property condition, because the resort is under current remodel ; otherwise, I would have rated a five star.

Came to watch 1st and 2nd round of Conference Carolina Tournament and support our Young Harris Men's and Women's basketball team. Cheered both teams on to their 21st wins of the season. What an exciting environment. Now on to Spartanburg, SC for the Quarterfinals. Lets Go Mountain Lions!!!!

We chose this property while we were visiting Helen, Ga. This was a great choice, the property sells itself. Nice fire pits on cool nights. The hotel offers free s’mores to the guest. Good times for family and friends.
