We're always just a message away and happy to offer local tips or answer any questions. We look forward to hosting you and helping make your stay special!

Why they chose this property

We chose Innsbruck because of its close proximity to downtown Helen—just minutes away from all the charm, dining, and activities the town has to offer. We also loved that it’s a gated community in a beautiful mountain setting, which gives our guests both security and serenity.

Innsbruck offers fantastic amenities, including a golf course and access to the luxury spa at the Valhalla Resort—making it an ideal location for both relaxation and adventure. It truly gives you the best of both worlds: peaceful mountain vibes with easy access to town.
