Marsha, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Clean room and spacious. We had view of the woods. Large windows.However, no microwave in the room, you need to walk to where the ice/ vending machine is to warm anything. Only one chair by the table, 2 cant eat their sandwich together. We are in the 2 queen bed room, white covers, afriad to put unoack other suitcase in bed, might stain the cover! Ample parking, a little walk where your building is. Breaksfast buffet is reasonably priced with lots of selection.There is an Italian restaurant and Tavern with good selection in menu. Hiking trails there, zip lining and a short drive to main street in Helen. Quiet and relaxing, away from the noise.
