Baymont by Wyndham Helen  

Tucked a short walk from downtown Helen, GA, this hotel drops you into the town’s Alpine vibe. You're minutes from Helen Festhalle, Alpine Mini Golf and Cool River tubing, and about 10 minutes from Anna Ruby Falls and Unicoi State Park.

Sixty-five non-smoking rooms and suites mix interior and exterior corridors with microwave, mini-refrigerator, flat-screen HDTV, free Wi‑Fi, safe, workspace, iron and coffee/tea maker. Select rooms add fireplace, jetted hot tub, private balcony and mountain views.

Free parking and high-speed wired and wireless internet keep things easy, plus a fitness center, on-site mini-golf, picnic and barbecue areas. Outdoor pool and aquapark deliver splashy fun (pool closed Sep–Apr); evening fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies add a sweet touch. Pet-friendly (up to 2 pets; $40 per pet plus a $250 pet sanitation deposit).

Business center and business desk on site, plus high-speed internet and an ATM for convenience.

Start with a free full continental breakfast each morning (6:30–9:30) and grab snacks or drinks at the on-site bar and snack shop. Downtown dining is steps away, including Big Daddy’s Restaurant right next door.
