Ratings and reviews

We stayed in a condo that featured a bedroom with two single beds and a queen bed in a loft. There were two bathrooms and a full kitchen equipped with everything you needed for basic cooking and dining. Here are a few things we enjoyed. Betty's County Store is the only grocery store in town and it is right around the corner. It's is an IGA with extras and a café but the prices are more reasonable than I expected. This made cooking every day convenient and cost-effective. The condo had plenty of closets and drawers. Our spaces stayed tidy because all our stuff was hidden and organized. The large window gave you a nice view of the Christmas lights in Downtown Helen. The balcony was great for our morning coffee.
I have seen reviews where folks said it was dated, but though it may be, it was clean and functional. Others mentioned you could walk to town. I didn't try that but you would probably have to park at the check-in area because the driveway to the condo is very steep and narrow. Google Maps said it was a 15-minute walk. Also, if some of your party has issues with stairs the loft might not be for you. Those units are on the 3rd floor.
My mother and the vacationers next door were pretty out of breath.
Overall, I enjoyed my stay, and I will book my next Helen visit here. Highly recommended.

First, Hotels.com states that the check-in is open daily from 9 - 5, but when we arrived on Sunday, it was closed. By chance, a lady told us the keys were in the guard gate, but it was not intuitive for us to know to look in an empty guard gate. The Alpine Crest Resort is not far, per se, from the main road, but because at night there are no lights to comfortably see your way back, it is not "walkable" to the main road; moreover, there are a lot of hotels right on the main street which, had we known, we would have stayed at instead. Next, we had to drive up a very steep and winding hill to get to the room, which is not how other hotels in the area are situated, as they are on flat ground; in my opinion, this steep hill is very dangerous, especially if the road ices. Then, once inside, THE HOT WATER RAN OUT. As a family of 5, I was able to take a shower the first night. Since the office was closed and we were unaware of a help number that was on the back of the envelope the keys had come in, we did not know to call. We complained in the morning and a mechanic confirmed the water heater worked, but the second night was similar, except we called and were given a key to another room for us to shower there. Then, overall, it was dirty and smelly. The carpet and walls are soiled. The ceiling appears to also have mold. The slides do not work. Do yourself a favor and stay at a hotel on the main road. There is nothing about this place that makes it a "resort."

Pool & gym needs upgraded. Loved the location. First room shown was basement level with narrow walkway with ivy to side. Second was much much better! Floor level. Good value for money if amenities looked like pictures.

Bug in the master bedroom tub and spider webs in the other bedroom window.
Some animal was under the stairs leading to our room based on the claw marks.
TV reception was bad in the living room.
I would have like an email as to guardless shack and key control before arrival.

The place we were in was a lot bigger than we thought it was going to be. It was a nice surprise. Clean, friendly workers. Place could use some updating but we enjoyed our stay.

Adequate, but worn property in need of a refresh. Good walking "back path" to downtown area.
2.0 / 10.0
Overall the resort needs some major upkeep. Its to be expected for the area to be dated as far as furniture and all goes, but really needs to be refreshed in general. We were supposed to stay 3 nights, but left after 2. The first condo we stayed in fit our family fine and had everything we needed. The first morning we woke up to at least 50 "potato bugs", little white round roach bugs all over the bathroom floor. We notified the front desk, and they were very kind and apologetic. They moved us to another room in the same building. It was clean and an upgrade from our other condo. The next morning, we found lots of spiders in the showers. Bugs are to be expected in the woods, but we've been to Helen 4 times and never seen so many. Again, the staff is very kind, but this resort definitely needs a lot of TLC. The waterslides were closed, the clubhouse is very lacking, just a pool table. Its close to town with a walking path to get there thru the woods that comes out to a dumster area behind Pauls Resturants. The playground is in very rough shape for the kids. It was sad really. I'm sure in its day it was the place to stay in Helen. Hopefully someday it will be brought back to life.

So much potential for 5 star status. Needs renovations and some more upkeep. Rugs can be changed completely.
But it is in a good location, quiet and clean restrooms. Lots is space for a family. Wish more of the amenities were available.
We checked in the middle of the night and I called the manager. She answered and stayed with us on the phone until we arrived. We appreciated that.

Enjoyed our trip and stay. Loves how quite it was but so close to downtown. Have another stay already planned.

Overall the trip was great but the property condition needs improvement. The dishes in the cabinets had food still on them. That wasn't a huge deal because I just washed them again. The master bathroom toilet seat was broken and I almost fell off the commode several times. The boards leading to the office are super slippery. The location of the property is ideal, with a very short walk to all the shops and food. The pool was good.

While dated and run down, the resort is still pretty good! Two potential issues: 1) It was raining today and the patio coming into the door of the condo is SLICK as owl crap with the algae that’s growing there. The walkway from the door to the stairs is NOT covered and you will get soaked while exiting. 2) There’s a VERY weak spot in the floor in the den area.
As with most mountain cabins, the winding road up is precariously narrow. Otherwise we’re happy! The pool area and river access is great, but be warned the current right at the resort is STRONG. The room is very dated, but homey. Daughter enjoyed the jacuzzi tub. There are a few small maintenance repairs that should probably be done. The decor could be better. But it’s quiet, safe, and affordable. DON’T MISS THE WALKING TRAIL CUT THROUGH TO TOWN!!! Super convenient.

I enjoyed the peace & quiet surroundings. I was disappointed in the non-disclosure of the steep uphill drive to actual accommodations.

Pool and hot tub were not working so it was inaccessible to guests.

The place is hidden away from the main stretch, yet within walking distance of downtown Helen. We would park by the clubhouse and just walk the trail to Main St. The property is dated, but provides plenty of amenities. You get to see some wildlife. The pool and hot tub are great, excellent for cooling off after a hot day doing touristy stuff. The clubhouse has a pool table and a couple tables for games. The property has several grills and picnic tables. Our room had a hair dryer, washer&dryer and a fully equipped kitchen. Rosie at the frontdesk was very helpful and so pleasant! We are looking forward to return.

The room we booked stated that it was a loft unit with a bedroom and a loft and one bathroom. The one we got had two bedrooms and two bathrooms, no loft. We were happy to have the extra bathroom, but please note that the description of the room does not match the actual room. It could be they just give you whatever is available. The resort was nice but needed updates. The location was good. There are some steep driveways going up to the unit, but our little four-cylinder car got us up there all right.

The property is nice and quite but the sheets were dirty and the room had a terrible smell. We had to go out and buy a candle. Besides that we enjoyed our stay.

Before we came up, we called and asked if the amenities like the indoor pool and spa were functioning and was told they were. We arrived on a Saturday to a broken handicap ramp and a closed office and directions to the box with our room key and instructions that if we have more than one vehicle we had to call and register the car with the office and park in a certain spot. We never heard from anyone but luckily our second vehicle didn’t get towed. Everything was very outdated and the bathtub jets did not work. We went to the indoor pool where that ramp was closed off/rotted away too. The “heated” indoor pool was like cold bath water. The jacuzzi was out of order. We went to the game room and everything there was out of order and broken. We reached out to management several times and never heard back. We called Expedia to ask for help and was told the office staff flat out refuse to make this right. Their answer was that we didn’t call - but we left a voicemail the first night and then Monday (when we checked out) was Christmas Day and no one was working. I absolutely would never stay here again.

Subpar. Outdated. The view was lovely but the property was so outdated and uncomfortable. The bathtub was a large selling point for us and it did not work. Water heater couldn’t even handle an individual shower. There was no water pressure and the shower heads were disgusting and clogged. Itchy old blankets. When I tried to contact the property they had already closed and never returned contact. The view was nice, far from the city life. Was just average to subpar. Nothing outstanding. Won’t stay there again. Don’t recommend for comfort.

No wifi or any internet / phone service was terrible. Was not informed the driveway was so steep and hair pin turns going up and a very narrow one-way down. Asked to clean everything before check out or would be charged extra. Booked 2 days, left after the first night.

It was a good experience. Location was great. Units are a bit dated, could use some updating but they were clean.

The pool was closed for maintenance but appeared to be fine. You must empty your own garbage, strip the bedding, and collect all the towels for the staff before you leave. You could not walk downtown quickly, so you still had to pay for parking downtown. There is no handicapped accessible entrance to the "clubhouse" or the office. There is only parking for one car unless you are willing to let the end of one vehicle stick which we were. The whirlpool tub was old, had rust, and an unknown hole that looked like a jet had broken out previously. Insulation was falling out of the roof in the parking area.

Wow, where to start? The location was pretty good, but one toilet didn't flush, a sink didn't drain, the mattresses were lumpy, and everything looked pretty old and dated. The road, though. Holy smokes, that was scary! A narrow, windy, one lane road went up to the rooms and was terrifying. We really thought our lives were in danger. The sliding doors did not look and all the blinds were broken so light came in all night. The doors definitely didn't feel safely locked, so I was glad I brought additional safety gear. It was inexpensive, which is good, but I have never had to gather my own trash and take it to the dumpster. So yeah.

Pretty great place for the money. Got a good view and plenty of family space. I loved the woods and nature right at the back of our property. Was some spiders hanging around but lady at the front desk was very very clear concise and gave good instructions. Also have good recommendations!! Thanks guys

As I totally enjoyed being in Helen, GA and Alpine Creat was so quaint, I think it could use a little sprucing up. Tons of spider webs with huge sliders outside the windows on the deck. The doors to the deck didn’t lock at all, which left me feeling somewhat unsafe. Overall I would totally recommend this place not hope the owners take a little more care with the property.

Resort is run down and dated. Needs better up keep. Water stains on ceiling. Smells old and musty.
4.0 / 10.0
The location is perfect to walk into the city, or if you want a quiet place in a wooded area.
Our place was clean, though was so dated it still had a broken/ dirty look to it.
The pool, waterside, club house and fishing area were all closed while we were there.
The staff was very helpful in answering questions we had when we arrived. We did arrive on a weekend so the main staff wasn't there, but housekeeping was.
If your vehicle doesn't do hills well, or if you struggle backing up/ drop off edges this is not the place for you.
We would stay here again for the price and location, but it is not a place for everyone.
