Our Story

A place to set
your roots down,
even for a night.

Helen Alpine Village Inn has welcomed travelers to the North Georgia mountains since 1968. Situated on Edelweiss Strasse in the heart of Helen, our inn sits at the intersection of alpine charm and Appalachian wilderness — a distinction that shapes everything about the stay.

We are a pet-friendly property, because we believe the best mountain mornings include a dog at your side. Our rooms are thoughtfully appointed with the comforts of home — crisp linens, warm lighting, and the kind of quiet that only deep forest can provide.

Whether you are here for the annual Fest of Beer, a weekend of river trails, or simply a weekend where nobody asks you to check your phone, this is the address you want.

Guest Stories

What travelers
say about us.

"We drove in from Atlanta for the Fest of Beer and chose this inn on a whim. Best decision of the trip. The room was beautiful, the breakfast was generous, and our dog had the time of her life."

— M. Torres, Asheville NC

"The location cannot be beat. We walked to dinner every night and back to the inn without ever starting the car. The rooms have so much character — you can tell they are cared for."

— J. & A. Pemberton, Charlotte NC

"We came for a long weekend and ended up extending. The inn has this wonderful energy — quiet enough to unwind, central enough to explore. We will be back every year now."

— R. Okonkwo, Knoxville TN
