Went there last year for Christmas. Started snowing the night we got there. Snowed all the next day. Wound up with 10 inches of snow. Was the most beautiful place I had ever seen with all the snow.

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Nice!! Another great video!! Helen is a beautiful town. We went in the fall one year and had a great time. It was very cold though for us Florida people. 😁

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Thanks Deb

[@foreman29078]

We went to Helen a few years ago and we were blown away with how cute the town was. I believe they have a hot air ballon festival they hold there every year. Also we see you made a slight change to your opening.

[@yankeeinthesouth]

[@littlehenrytrewhitt8875]

[@BanditontheAT]

How ironic, I'll be in Helen this Sunday 8/19 - Tuesday 8/21. Been several times before but been about 8 years so can not wait to revisit and after watching your video am I ready to go. I leave there and head to Gatlinburg for a couple days and going to Dollywood on Wednesday 8/22, wife is a season pass holder and has a free pass for me that has to be used this month.

[@yankeeinthesouth]

sounds like fun Thanks Brian😁👍👍

[@JAMESHOLLISGOLF]

I live in Helen

[@BTCMAN]

Great!

[@charlenekolera1782]

You missed the most important Place is Betty's grocery store they have some very unique stuff in there and she makes homemade pecan pies. And they sell all kinds of old fashioned candy

[@eleanormassaro5195]

charlene kolera Betty’s is awesome!

[@debcobb9739]

I live in GA but have never been to Helen. I love it

[@kathypage1674]

So peaceful So beautiful Nice video

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Thanks Kathy😁

[@BTCMAN]

Next time i go back to USA, I will visit Helen-Georgia-USA!

[@alan30189]

If you want to see the coolest things in the USA, go to the national parks, out west. Probably the most diverse is Yellowstone National Park, then go south to the Grand Tetons, and stay in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Other national parks to check out (not necessarily in this order) are Zion Canyon, Bryce Canyon, the Grand Canyon, the Painted Desert, and In California, Yosemite is unbelievably beautiful,. North of there, go to Muir Woods, near San Francisco, where the giant sequoia trees are. Check out my explanation on how Helen, GA, came to be, above. Helen, GA is nice, but the must-see thing in Georgia, is the Georgia Aquarium, in Atlanta.

[@nancyj7873]

Enjoyed your video! We live in Georgia and went to Helen in December for our anniversary several years ago. It was 13 degrees and the fountain was completely frozen! Are you going to come to Stone Mountain Park? It would make a great video too!😊

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Thanks for sharing with us Nancy😁❤

[@AlliChuckAdventures]

We were there this past October for our anniversary too!

[@donmartin4618]

I want to go there great vid I know I keep saying this but they are getting better thanks to you both

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Thanks so much Don❤👍👍

[@markleisa98]

Dawn was trying to show you that beautiful pond.

[@alan30189]

Since you didn’t look into it, or explain the history of the town, I will throw this in. Years ago, the city leaders of Helen wanted to attract more business to the town, so they decided to re-design the town to look like a German Village. It worked! Nearby is Dahlonega Georgia, which is a gold mining area. There are still are some active gold mines there. A couple of other sites to see if you go to Helen, are Anna Ruby Falls, and Brasstown Bald. Brasstown Bald is the highest point in Georgia. There’s an observation building at the top, which is very cool.

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Thank you for sharing your information with us

[@alan30189]

@yankeeinthesouth No problem!

[@annacraven7847]

Lovin' the hat Dawn!♡

[@yankeeinthesouth]

thanks❤❤❤Dawn

[@basilsage1313]

You are such a cute couple, love your videos!!!

[@darlene19668]

Dalonaga Ga. is also good town to visit u will love it...so not exactly right...but...Google it...Dahlonega Ga

[@yankeeinthesouth]

we will have to check it out Thanks Darlene👍👍

[@margaretgreenway2339]

You will love it but when it's gold rush you can't hardly move there lol so many folks from all over.....did you guys go to babyland General out from Helen when you were there its where the cabbage patch dolls are born(made)lol also go visit Tallulah gorge if you haven't and see where the great wallenda walked across the gorge on the high wire

[@eleanormassaro5195]

Darlene A I love Dahlonega with the little town square. Was just there on our trip to Pigeon Forge. I love visiting the little mercantile store on the square in Dahlonega. My brother has property near Dahlonega😁

[@carolgrove390]

It's like Frankenmuth in Michigan alright!!!

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Without Broners and chicken Thanks Carol😁👍👍

[@Tony-5000]

Wow, what timing. Remember I told you we are coming 1st week of December? Helen is of of our destinations! Helen, Bryson City (train ride), and, of course, Gatlinburg. If you were thinking of moving to N.C., where would you look?

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Waynesville area is nice and there are some jobs there Thanks apb

[@theresaj.payne-johnson457]

It's Creston, NC for me :)

[@CornerBoothGames]

As someone that's lived in gatlinburg half my life, I am more than qualified to say, GATLINBURG SUCKS. I would go practically anywhere before choosing to go here on vacation.

[@Tony-5000]

@@CornerBoothGames Obviously, you aren't well traveled.

[@josephroberts3418]

Unicoi state park has Anna ruby falls that’s nice in Helen

[@jillsmith3937]

Ah come on go to the winner store one of my favs

[@yankeeinthesouth]

maybe next time Thanks Jill😁👍👍

[@jake2213b]

I see you are not doing 100% Smokey's Area. And you love Water Falls. Check out Fall Creek Falls State Park. It has some small falls but they have a very large one. Bring your hiking stuff because we use to park at the visitor center and you can hike all the way over to the big falls. But you can also drive over to it.

[@yankeeinthesouth]

will do Jake😁👍👍

[@lesliejames6870]

I would rather go to Gatlinburg and Pegion Forge...

[@Rhondagail]

I love pork snisle

[@Rhondagail]

[@ZenTheMusician]

I like you but you confirmed for me that it sucks and there's nothing to do
