Ana Ruby Falls was beautiful! First off! And the paved trail was very accommodating to my uncle who has had knee replacement. We used the “Seek” app to identify plant species along the trail. We read every one of the fact plaques along the way as well. Truly wonderful way to spend the afternoon and the company that manages the gift shop and gate employ wonderful people!

Beautiful hotel and beautiful location. The two restaurants/bar are great. A little hard to get to some room with a bunch of baggage though lifts and ramps are there. We had a great view from our room and a staff member said it was the best room. Lots of places to sit and hang out outside. Fire pits available etc. There is a shuttle to take you into town and back. Super clean, great room service people. I liked it and would stay again.

The folks at the front deck were very welcoming and pleasant. The shuttle is a great luxury for getting to and from Helen without the hassle of parking. The tavern was a great way to unwind at the end of the day. However…the room was …

What a great experience. The barrel cabins were awesome! Location is perfect and staff is friendly! Perfect jumping off point to visit all the trails and waterfalls in North Georgia! We loved it are going back in December!

Overall: great! Good: End of October, leaves changing, first frost, great time. Service was excellent: needed extra bedding, no problem. Food was great. Shuttle was good and very convenient. Take the trip up to Anna Ruby Falls ($5/person). It's a short hike, but was good. Bad: Mattress was a bit older inner spring, a bit of a hard time sleeping. Shower did need some caulk to prevent leaking. Could smell someone smoking dope occasionally; no fault of lodge. Overall, a great stay. Would do again.

Excellent camping experience. Friends and I shared a buddy site and had ample room with designated hook ups. Bathrooms clean and shuttle to Helen was very convenient with pick up at my site. A free round trip shuttle in to town is wonderful if you do not have an additional vehicle while camping.

I was at the Lodge for the GRWA conference and was very happy with everything associated with the stay. All the employees, From the front desk to the hospitality staff, were polite and professional, quick to offer assistance. Unfortunately, the weather kept me from taking advantage of the activities offered by the lodge. Overall it was a great experience.

Lovely scenery with lake. Plenty of shade from all the trees at campsites. Trails close to campground.very hilly site especially to the comfort station. Campground was well maintained. All utilities worked. Plenty of trash receptacles.

I have been a frequent visitor of Unicoi for about 7 years now. This week we got married in the park, and had a great time. I had to depart for a family emergency early and Ms. Patty was outstanding in listening and being kind. This park, it’s always clean and friendly. You can see wildlife all year round here. (Our favorite is the armadillos). If you go please be safe, keep it clean and make memories here.
