Top Hiawassee Hotel Reviews

Hampton Inn Helen

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed one night at the Hampton Inn in Helen Georgia. I was skeptical about Hampton Inn as I have never stayed at one. I have to say, I was very happy once we arrived. The front desk staff was super friendly and very helpful with suggestions (and a map) for dinner. We had a suite that was quite roomy! I would most definitely stay there again and recommend to my friends and family."

Quality Inn Downtown Helen

GREAT DEAL $85 per night ON BEAUTIFUL HIAWASSEE RIVER

"Perfect place for a restful stay. We got a beautiful quiet and comfortable stay with no problems and perfect hosting .I will absolutely recommend this place to others and would absolutely book it again"

Dillard House

8/10 Good

"Good stay."

The Ridges Resort on Lake Chatuge

8/10 Good

"This property was beautiful. Located right on the lake, the morning and evening views were gorgeous. The description is a bit deceiving. You get the idea there is a lounge, dining, and other amenities on site, and this is just not true. Within walking distance on, or adjacent to the property you will find food and drinks, but within the lodge itself is only a small coffee shop with pre-made sandwiches and random drinks. The website makes it sound like a true meal and drinks are more convenient that what they really are. It looks to be an older lodge that has been renovated. In our room, the fit and finish was not great. They attached a modern barn slider door to the bathroom and left a 2–3-inch gap because of some older and thick base boards. If privacy in the bathroom is a must, you would have not been pleased with this. The fan in the bathroom did not work so it fogged badly during each shower, and the in-room refrigerator was frozen over. Appeared it had not been serviced or replaced in a long time. Other than that, staff was wonderful, hot water and water pressure for showers was GREAT, and the swimming pool was a bonus. My family will stay there again, but only if the rate is right. We stayed during the week, so rates were not bad at all. Their weekend rates I did not believe were a good value."

Lake Chatuge Lodge

8/10 Good

"It's a very nice place just somewhat outdated. There are some areas that need maintenance (balconies and electrical outlets, most notably) and used linens were piled in the hallway of our floor overnight."

The Perch, Fantastic Mtn Lake View! Very clean, Dogs Welcome.

Mountain Valley Inn Dillard

"This was the cutest little motel. Bananas were too ripe and the rooms need some updating and maintenance. Otherwise I'd stay there again. It was the hub of everywhere I wanted to go at a reasonable price."
