Room was clean bed was good. Property was under renovation which was fine but the cart to help us get to our room needs to be replaced. It was very difficult for us as we are older to get to our room.

Disappointing and Overrated

It was not as great as I thought it would be. I think the website oversells the lodge. It says there are two restaurants but there is really only a type or sports bar type of place with a very limited menu. The lodge staff definitely is not friendly - almost every interaction I had with them, they had the demeanor of "I am talking to you only because I have to, but I would much rather not talk to someone like you". Not to mention there was an issue with a charge on my account and I was told I needed to speak to the manager, Susan Baxter, but she was in a meeting and would not be out for another thirty minutes. I waited a full 45 before I called but she was still in her meeting and she would call me back. Did Susan ever call me back? Of course not! Whatever the reason was is irrelevant because the fact is when a guest has a serious financial issue on their account and they are told someone will get in touch with them, someone should follow through. The saving grace was park itself, the zipline experience, Anna Ruby Falls, the hiking trails, and the kayaking. The staff members from the zipline (Dustin and Ethan), the lady working in the gift shop at Anna Ruby Falls, and the staff at the Visitor Center for the kayaking were so helpful, nice, and made up for what others lacked & I really appreciated them. Side note, the town of Helen turned out to be a "sundown town" and the people were NOT shy about letting it be known either.

Under construction

Entrance was blocked by plastic sheeting with no directions how to get to check in. After entering a side door the building looked abandoned . After walking down two flights of stairs and a long hall I finally found the registration. We were given a room on the 2nd floor at the end of the hall with no elevator. The room had construction going on outside on two sides of our room. Fortunately it was close to their quitting time but early the next morning we were awakened by worker singing, drills and plywood being thrown. On check out I did suggest they not place guest in that room.
