They said they doubled booked us so no king available. Gave us a very small queen room and re-ran charges that were much more than we had already paid. Credited the difference, but still charged for a king room, not the queen room we had no choice about. The property was in nice shape, but had none of the recreational amenities advertised, only a fire pit. Undersold a visit into town (Helen) for dinner. It was bustling and the best part of the stay. Overall, a pretty property, but not as advertised and lacking proper front desk management. Disappointed and overcharged.

The hotel has beautuful views and is close to town and all it has to offer. It has zip lines/ropes course on site. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and the beds were comfortable. The biggest downfall was that there was really nothing to do for little kids. I found the pictures to be somewhat deceiving. You have to drive to the beach area. All in all, it was a good experience for the price.
