"The property was quiet and not in the middle of the crowds but close enough for a quick drive!! Nice, clean, updated."

"For our 17th wedding anniversary, my husband and I chose the Valhalla Resort Hotel in Helen, GA, fulfilling his dream of enjoying authentic German cuisine and old-world charm. From the moment we arrived, the experience was exceptional. The valet and concierge, Jan, welcomed us warmly with glasses of champagne, while our luggage was swiftly taken to our room. Our spacious room featured a cozy fireplace, two TVs, a balcony with stunning views, and a well-stocked mini bar, making it easy to settle in for our five-night stay. The Sky Bar, with its breathtaking Blue Ridge Mountain vistas, was a highlight. Bartenders Matt and Loli greeted us with genuine hospitality, enhancing the picturesque setting. The staff's friendliness was consistent throughout our stay. Judy, the daytime concierge, was outstanding, and valet Steve suggested renting the on-site townhomes for future visits with family or friends. On Father’s Day, we enjoyed a round of golf at the Valhalla Golf Club, a scenic and challenging public course. Lunch at the Caledonia Dining Room was delightful, where owners Jerry Murdock and Gayle Stewart Murdock, accompanied by their charming standard poodles, made us feel like family. They even encouraged us to bring our border collie on our next visit. The General Manager’s professionalism added to the seamless experience. Valhalla Resort Hotel masterfully blends luxury, Scottish heritage, and Southern hospitality, all while being close to Helen for day trips."

"It was a half mile from everything almost and could walk everywhere."

"We had a great view from our room. Parking was good as well. The tubing place was not far from the park and Helen wasn’t far either. Overall we had a great time. "

"This is your typical older hotel. It’s not great to look at and the wear and tear is obvious. The lobby and breakfast area are a bit shabby. However, renovations were underway while we were there. All employees were very nice. The room was fine, bed was fairly comfortable. We ended up with a jacuzzi tub that needed deep clean but again that wasn’t a big deal. The thing that makes this hotel great is the ideal location. Not only is it walking distance to the shops and restaurants, but it is right on the river with a nice green space, picnic tables stairs right in to the water. Here you can watch the tubers all day and skip rocks in the evening. This hotel was perfect for my family although I do feel the price I was charged was a bit ridiculous, but I booked last minute so maybe that’s on me. "
