Other then the scenery this place has very little to offer. The shops are dirty and totally overpriced. We ate at the Alt Heidelberg Restaurant. In this place you don't know what you are getting. The food is below any grading. NASTY. The service is terrible. The Sauerkraut was cold, the potatoes tasted awfuld. The Black Forrest Cake was at ...
Loved the carriage rides, sweets, try an Alpine drink at the funnel cake place yum yum,

Been to Helen twice!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/23/08
Overall, Helen is a wonderful, off-the-beaten path experience!! The Bavarian atmosphere is a great change of pace and palate. Kind of reminiscent of Leavenworth, WA. We have visited Helen twice and both visits were not by accident. If you want to go to Helen, you have to work to find it. We suggest putting into your GPS and letting technology ...

Our visit to Helen
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/22/08
Helen is a great place to visit and spend a couple of days. Our favorite time of year is during the fall leaf season. The traffic in and out of town can be hectic but that is the way it is. Our favorite place to eat is Paul's Steakhouse and a must for Sat night is the Elvis Show at Remember When Theatre. Betty's Country Store is a MUST visit.

Helen Ga.
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/16/08
We love Helen Ga.we go ever year and always have a great time. But this time we went to see the new Elvis show at Remember When it was the greatest show we have ever seen I have told everyone I know about it. Helen Ga. got a great thing we they got this show. Wonderful Elvis and great entertainment.
The shops were dirty. The shop employees were not very friendly. There was not much to do other than tube in the dirty river. Not a very child friendly town. There is so much more to do in other Georiga towns... would recommend not wasting your time at this place.
Helen is a has a cute little German agriculture. We stayed at the Best Western I believe, and it was perfectly nice. We went tubing and it was fun to see old-time magic stores and candy shops that you could actually purchase items at. My favorite restaurant was "Trolls Taverns" or something like that. I would defiantly recommend it and its very good as a place to stay over night when headed somewhere else. Great for all ages.
We truly enjoyed ourself here at Helen, people were very nice, especially alpine wedding chapel, Mr austin and his wife were very nice and helpful ,took great pictures of our wedding.... we also took a trail to see Anna ruby falls it was beautiful... rode the carriage horses in town, went to haunted Helen.... and relaxed in our hotel by the ...
What a fun place! We went on a Saturday during Oktoberfest and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The shops are cute and the merchadise is nicely priced. You can go and not have to spend a fortune. I drive to Heen is a great one- very scenic. It's a wonderful way to spend a Saturday!

GREAT !
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 02/18/07
We just got back from our weekend trip to Helen. It was a WONDERFUL time ! We stayed at the Black Bear Lodge less then 10 Min. outside Helen. The lodge, up the mountains, was just beautiful ! Since we were there on a business trip with my husbands co-workers, we didn't have all day to see everything, but I believe we hit all the Hot-Spots ...
