Beautiful location with soft beds and trails you can walk to. My only complaint is that the breakfast and dinner were way out of my price range. But I would definitely come back to stay here again.

Amazing views!! Very clean and gave you toiletries and bottles of water. We only stayed one night but I wish we stayed longer to enjoy more of it. Bed was soft and comfortable. Only issue was the fitted sheet kept coming off the corners of the bed.

Tracy, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

My good friend came to visit me from out of town for his birthday and he had never been to Unicoi or the Helen, Georgia area, so I looked up local places, and stumbled upon this amazing hidden gem, The Unicoi State Park & Lodge! The staff was amazing, food was great, rooms were perfect, and I am so glad I decided to book his stay with this Lodge! It simply exceeded my expectations, and I have nothing but great things to say about the entire place! A Special thanks to Nae, Brooke, and Chris from the Tavern!

Adrian, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I love the improvements in the rooms but hated the parking and how far it is to hike back up to your room in the rain.
lana, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

We had a trailer. There is no trailer parking near the lodge. We had to park it about a mile away at some abandoned tennis courts. We were very uncomfortable leaving it there as there was no security.
Linda, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We love staying here with our 12 year old son. There's so much to do and explore with him. This is out 3rd spring break here and we'll be back soon!
Phillip, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

All around good property experience from check in to check out. Upstairs has a pool table, bar and grill, plus a restaurant. Went for a night cap and the service was pretty bad though. Not greeted because the bartender seemed to be to busy yelling at her helper in the middle of the floor. Eventually the manager took our order. Besides that issue make sure you walk around and see the sights. Many beautiful spots all around
