Perfectly situated right on Main Street in the heart of downtown Helen, this one-bedroom cottage at the Upcountry Inn provides a front-row seat to outdoor adventure. Stroll a few blocks to the Chattahoochee River, charming shops and restaurants, and the longest-running Oktoberfest in the United States.
Nora Mill is a standalone cottage on the grounds of the Upcountry Inn, ideally located half a mile from Helen's Oktoberfest each September and October. In this picturesque Bavaria-inspired town, you'll be within walking distance of the river, trails, tubing adventures, great dining and shopping, mini-golf, and so much more. Unicoi State Park and Lake are only two miles north as well, where you can spend the summer paddleboarding, swimming, and fishing.
Through the storybook red door is a living space that's wonderfully modern and comfortable. Begin each morning by preparing breakfast in the well-equipped kitchen, and share stacks of pancakes at the dining room table to prepare for a day full of fun. In the evenings, unwind in central AC, stream movies on the living room's smart TV, and log onto the complimentary WiFi to catch up on email or share a few photos.

We really enjoyed our stay. Everything was perfect. The house was so nice and clean. It was also close to town so we could walk to everything. I would definitely stay again and would recommend this house.
This cute cottage was perfect for us. We enjoy a separate living room and it suited our needs. Check in was easy. We were notified when we could get into the house which was around lunch time. We would stay there again.
We enjoyed our stay and loved that it was walking distance from town and all the shops and restaurants. I would recommend to anyone with littles, as they enjoyed the bunk beds.

Awesome Cottage
We loved our stay in this very nice cottage!!!! It was so beautifully decorated and close to Betty’s country store and Main Street shopping and restaurants!!! We felt very safe and comfortable!!!
We were able to walk to everything downtown Helen. Right beside Betty’s which was very convenient. House is newly renovated. Will definitely stay here again.
Easy to find and a fantastic place to stay. Perfect for two adults and two children. The kids loved the bunk beds. Easy walk to everything. Loved having Betty's groceries right next door.
From the cozy location, to the beautiful interior, Nora Mill was the perfect place for us during this adventure in Georgia. Very clean, well lit, comfortably furnished, and reasonably priced, if we ever come back to Helen we won’t be looking to stay anywhere other than here!!
