The accommodations were great and the entire staff was excellent - courteous, anticipatory, and always willing to offer advice or help. Thank you. Coming to Unicoi State Park and Lodging has always been my pleasure. I’ll see you again!
The location to downtown Helen is excellent. There are nice hiking trails, we did one around the lake 2.5miles and one into downtown Helen 3 miles. Free shuttle into town runs every hour. Nice fire pit area. Room was clean and bed was comfortable. We did not eat breakfast on site but the coffee was good.
Lovely property, comfortable, and great staff! Lovely weekend get away!!

Clean, simple room. Bed was comfortable. Shower was warm and bathroom generally clean and functional. Breakfast was quite good at the restaurant with sizable portions. Consider splitting. :) No frills room, but great location with a good view. Perfect for those who want to hike the park or enjoy other park amenities. I would definitely return.
Perfect place to be surrounded by nature. Room was spacious and window overlooked mountains. Fire pit at night was nice as was the lit fireplace inside. Shuttle to downtown Helen was appreciated. Very close to Anna Ruby Falls, and lake is beautiful. We only had one day there, we will be back
