What to do and see in Helen, Georgia (GA): The Best Things to do Good for a Rainy Day

June 22, 2021 Fernanda Pittenger

Helen, a Bavarian Alps replica town in Appalachian Georgia, is home to an Oktoberfest for the ages, overflowing with two-liter beer glasses and Germany's famous bratwursts.  To recover from the festivities, the savviest make their way to Cedar Creek Luxury Cabins on the edge of the Chattahoochee National Forest.

These olive and vinegar stores vary, but this is one of the best. And my thanks to the friendly, helpful Amy who made the whole thing easy. There is a good collection of oils and vinegars, Amy did a great job showing my group of 5 how you mix and what to pair. And I loved it and brought one home. Worth a pop in to smell and taste. No pressure to buy.

The Lost Room Escape Adventures

The Lost Room Escape Adventures is a unique and refreshing take on the Escape room industry. Featuring completely original escape experiences and equipped with a large conference space to host parties, events, and business getaways.

Reviewed By 264samyag - Jefferson, United States

I have done over 50 escape rooms. I look at rooms from the perspective of immersion, game flow, types of puzzles, and how well the puzzles fit the theme. My family and I recently experienced both rooms at the Lost Rooms Escape Adventures in Helen, GA. Both rooms had excellent game flow. The Final Piece room made excellent use of the space available. The MasterKey room is good for larger groups. For both, the immersion felt pretty complete. The rooms were fun to play. The puzzles were varied and were more than just lock and key. The puzzles fit well with the theme of the room. I would definitely recommend.
