Has anyone been to Helen, GA? Is it worth a weekend getaway?

Yes I have and no it’s not. Unless you’re heading out into the woods.

Yes, loved it. Stay in mountains and hike

Depends on where you’re traveling from? Oktoberfest is fun and it’s a cool town with German architecture. Other than that it’s not much different than the other mountain cabin areas around the Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina border

Stay in a cabin outside of Helen in the mountains. Go to Helen for a few hours for a meal and to walk around.

Yep, that was the plan to rent a cabin in the woods and check out Helen for a few hours one day. Seems to be the closest mountain area driving distance from Florida.

I wouldn’t go out of my way. The mountains are nice, but like any other ones in the south. The Helen area is best in the fall and really popular during Oktoberfest, but I personally think it’s a bit of a cheesy place... I’d make a stop if it’s on the way, or if you get a bad case of cabin fever at some point during your cabin getaway.
