Once
an old mining town, the quaint Alpine village of Helen,
Georgia is now one of North Georgia's vacation hot
spots. You will find plenty of activity whether it be
searching the antique shops, souvenir stores, hiking the
trails, biking, playing golf, horse back riding, trout
fishing, gold panning and much more. |
One of the most photographed landmarks in W hite
County is the Sautee Nacoochee Indian Mound. It is
located just minutes outside of Helen in the Sautee
Nacoochee Valley. The Mountain in the background is
Mount Yonah. The word "yonah" in Cherokee translates to
"bear". This mountain reminded the Cherokee of a
sleeping bear. Mount Yonah is White
County 's tallest mountain at 3,156 feet.About
three miles from Helen is the community of
Sautee.
Whether it be horse
back riding, shopping, dining, or enjoying an evening
outdoor concert; Sautee has a lot to offer visitors
without the crowds and traffic,.
 Also located in Sautee, is
one of the last 15 covered bridges that still exist in
Georgia. The Stovall Mill Bridge is no longer open to
traffic.
This White County historic site was built in 1895.
This bridge and some of our own locals were also
featured in the Rita Hayworth movie "I'd Climb The
Highest Mountain" |
 Plan to stay the weekend, or better yet, come and visit
for a whole week. There is always something happening in
the Alpine Helen area.Every
year since 1970, one of the most largest
Oktoberfest
celebrations takes place right here in the North Georgia
Mountains.
Helen's Oktoberfest Festival draws millions
of visitors per year to the North Georgia Mountains. It
is a festival so big we have to start it in September!
German bands playing "Oompah" music nightly at the
Festhalle in Helen have people dancing to the polka and
the "chicken dance". From knockwurst and bratwurst made locally to wiener schnitzel
and spaetzel, you will find some of the best German cuisine
this side of the Atlantic Ocean. |
 Alpine
Helen is built around the Chattahoochee River. A Helen
vacation would not be complete without spending a couple
hours floating down the river in a fluorescent colored
inner tube. The local phrase would be "shoot the hooch".
Onlookers have just as much fun dining from a
river's edge restaurant patio, listening to the squeals
of laughter as the tubers go under the Main Street
bridge and hit the swift waters.
Helen is also home to a water
park for a day filled with excitement for the kids. |
Babyland General is the original birth place of the
world renowned Cabbage Patch Kids and it is located
right here in the North Georgia Mountains.
Don't forget to take a free tour while in the area.
Adoptions are an option while visiting and spectators
can even help name the newly born Cabbage Patch babies. |

The North Georgia Mountains are also abundant with
spectacular
 waterfalls.Inside Unicoi State Park, you will find the twin
waterfalls of Anna Ruby Falls. The
waterfalls are named for the daughter of Captain John H.
Nichols, a wealthy White County resident who owned much
of the land in the vicinity. Among his attributes,
Captain Nichols also designed and built the gazebo that
stands atop the Sautee Nacoochee Indian Mound.
Just a few miles from Helen on Alt. Hwy 75 is
Duke's Creek
Falls
(pictured left).
So be sure to explore the waterfalls of
North Georgia during your stay in one of our Helen
vacation rentals. Make sure you have plenty of film in
your camera and put on your walking shoes. |
Unicoi State Park
is located just
outside of Helen and near all of our vacation rentals.
The 53 acre lake (pictured below)
has a beach for swimming, paddle boat
rentals and miles of designated trout stream. Don't
worry if you don't catch anything. The Unicoi Lodge has
a GREAT buffet that serves All-You-Can-Eat Fresh Trout. |
Make plans to visit Alpine Helen the first weekend in June
and catch a
 glimpse
of the hot air balloons rising above the North Georgia
Mountains.
Helen is home to the south's oldest balloon
race as balloonists gather every year to
race to the
Atlantic. Pete Hodkinson,
started this tradition.
Pete was also one of the four men that made Helen what it is today by giving it the
Bavarian theme. Helen still honors Pete today by the
Gazebo and Park on Main Street duly named
"Pete's Park".
You can usually get balloon rides in town the night
before the race and weigh up all the competition. Be
sure to grab your camera because this is a sight to see! |
Visitors flock to view Georgia's highest point -
Brasstown Bald at 4784
degrees above sea level. You can see
White County's very own
 Mount Yonah from there. You can also check the Brasstown Bald
LIVE webcam to make sure that you are visiting on a
clear day so you can take advantage of the fantastic
view.
Once the site of the nations first gold rush, the North
Georgia mountains still hold some treasures, so don't
forget to try your hand at gold panning while in the
area. |
