Staff was very friendly and our room was very nice and clean. There was no staff or security on site overnight. You were texted a number to call if you had problems. Would not have stayed here had i known this. Building was left open all night. Anothe couple staying there burnt popcorn in the common area microwave and set off the fire alarm. I thought the alarm going of at first was on the tv. This was at 11pm. At 11:15, i looked out the door to see a gentleman with the outside doors open fanning the awful smell and smoke. He told me what was going on. The alarm is still blasting. I then call the number we were texted and a lady answers the phone only to say she would send the maintenance man over to shut it off. That happened around midnight. Night of sleep ruined. No fire department or police showed up to make sure nothing else was going on and to clear the building. What if that microwave had blown up and caught on fire, were we to put the fire out and hope everything was fine. No one even followed up to apologize for this inconvenience! Their grab and go breakfast was a joke. Almost empty baskets of chips, power bars, granola bars, and a couple of containers of yogurt in this little fridge. What the heck! In my book this is one and done. We could of stayed at one of the other chain hotels in the area for the same or less price and at least had a decent breakfast. What a way to ruin our anniversary weekend!

Cozy lodge in the mountains!
My husband and I had a great stay at Sylvan Lodge with a few other friends for a weekend getaway. The room was very spacious. My only complaint was the shower did not get very hot and a bigger breakfast other than a grab and go would have been nice. Definitely plan to return!

Cabin was cute, close to Duke Creek waterfalls. The blinds were dusty. Stairs to second floor/ upstairs room is so steep and we didn’t feel safe going up and down. The property was generous with towels and coffee / tea and snacks.

I reserved my thoughts about this property until we stayed there. First of all, the good things about this property is that it was quiet and still close to Helen to be able to enjoy the town without being in the middle of the holiday crush and the staff was friendly. However, we were very disappointed because we had booked this property with the understanding that a hot breakfast was included in the rate in order to save some money. A couple of days before we were to arrive (and after the deadline to cancel had passed) I received an email from the property talking about their “Grab and Go” breakfast, which consisted of packaged pasteries, packaged cereal and whole fruit only (my husband is Celiac and unable to eat this kind of food). In fact, even though Expedia and the property’s own website states there is a restaurant, be aware that this property DOES NOT have a restaurant on site. When I called to confirm this, I was told that Expedia should have changed the information, but as stated, it is also on the property’s website that there is a restaurant still. The management offered a bottle of wine as “compensation” but having to go somewhere for breakfast and spend more money, after expecting a full breakfast, was disappointing. The room we stayed in, while it was clean and tidy, it is in desparate need of a renovation. I got the impression that the sister property in Dahlonega, GA is the one that is getting all of the love.

Very pleased with the Sylvan Valley Lodge! Cute rooms, quiet location, and a wine bar downstairs to boot! This place gave off an b&b-tiny hotel vibe but still felt private. Shared accommodations like the shared living room area with the coffee and snack bar were a nice touch since hot breakfast is not available downstairs. I would absolutely stay here again due to how cute and neat it was, and also its proximity to hiking, wineries, and downtown Helen. A few suggestions to management to make this place even more awesome would be: 1. Have the wine bar be open more than 4 days a week. 2. Add more snack options to the shared area such as prepackaged cereal and milk. Right now the only snack options are snack bars, yogurt and oatmeal, with little condiments like butter to dress up the oatmeal. 3. Add a full length mirror to every guest room. Right now the only mirror in our room was the one above the sink so it made getting ready tough when you're sharing with another person. 4. Replace the stairway carpet. It is super soiled and takes away from how amazing this place is! 5. Offer some activities for guests to do around the property, such as cornhole, horseshoes, a hammock, fire pit, etc. It can get pretty boring if you want to hang around outside of your room outside of wine bar hours.

It is close to but not in Helen. It is quiet, conveniently located, has a wine tasting and the rooms are very nice. However, the windows need to be washed. The outside tables on the balcony need washed. The rug in the room needs cleaned. There was no food Saturday night. We heard so much about the charcuterie board but it was not available. We ended up eating a granola bar for dinner.
