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.

Cute little spot in town!

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.

Quiet and close

The house was clean, good location and convenient walk to groceries and other places to visit in Helen, but at the edge of town so still felt private and quiet. Loved it!

Nora Mill, We Love You

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!!

The perfect stay

We loved everything about our stay! Our suite was super cleaned, it had everything we needed. Walking distance to all the restaurants and activities that Helen has to offer. Vacasa local team were amazing. Looking forward to coming back next year. Ready to book for our 3rd year in a row.

Disappointed

We arrived at the property. It was terribly misrepresented from the beginning. The location and condtion of the place was unacceptable. After making an exhausting effort to try for another place, have a refund, or simply move into another space that would be more suitably they were unwilling to assist us at all. I finally just left after being told they could do nothing. We returned home the same day because we were so tired and disappointed. Nevwr again!!

Weekend getaway

This was such a great little cottage! We had our 2 year old son with us and there was plenty of room for all 3 of us. The bathtub is great for kids of course. Everything you could need honestly. From the nice fridge to a smart tv. It was a great location. Very safe. It’s right off the main strip so you can’t hear the passing traffic near as bad. Walking distance to right downtown Helen. It’s like a 5 minute walk to right downtown. Being Right beside Betty’s county store was so helpful for last minute snack and drink runs. Our only complaint/negative ( don’t mean to be petty) but the beds were pretty hard and an adjustment to sleep in for sure. Also the hot water ran out pretty fast. Another problem we had was lights and passing car lights coming through our bedroom curtains. It wasn’t all night. But every once in awhile so it was enough to wake the toddler some throughout the night. But overall It was all super clean and cute and we would definitely stay here again!

Very central location where you can walk everywhere

This is a newer property and recently redecorated! It was well done and easy to maneuver. Plenty of towels and most everything was clean with the exception of the pullout sofa bed. We found money (bonus) kids hair rubber bands, sunglasses…Needless to say we did not use it. I attempted to reach the property owners or management company and was not able to find email or texts since I had pics, I wanted to make sure they saw that housekeeping needed to do a little better. Other than that the property was just fine hat we needed! We went to Betty’s store daily for coffee and a Diet Coke in glass bottle! A few things we took note of to make this propoerty a little more enjoyable since we stay at many Properties , 1. We need hooks in the back of the door to hang wet towels or reinforce the shower curtain to withstand the weight of a towel 2. There is no remote (that we could find) to adjust volume of the tv however there was a small button on the back of the tv but a remote would be easier. 3. We need instructions on the ceiling fans… we believe there is a separate on/off switch but they only worked 1/2 the time. 4. The front door needs blinds. Although there is not a lot of foot traffic in front of the house, we felt very exposed at night and linked a sheet over the front door. Not trying to be picky just thought these were a few ideas, others might benefit from. We would DEFINITELY stay here again!!!
