Nice place to stay and to eat. Nice and quiet place full of charming people. Its owners, are just lovely. Perfect to stay and visit the north of Georgia and the lakes. Its tavern is also a good place to eat. They serve good food, with good music, and all surrouded by a good mood.

Great rooms and fantastic restaurant! Located at Lake Burton, Ga between Clayton, Helen and Clarksville. Very nice rooms and the Tavern and Grill is fantastic. A limited menu and hours but a 5 out of 5! Best steak burger ever! Karaoke some nights on the back covered deck.

Surprised by Romance Our first time to visit North 40 Tavern. Very quaint and cozy. Food was outstanding and service was warm, professional, and attentive. Pizza was one of the best I’ve ever had. Can’t wait to go back again and try a new entree. Ask for Cathy as your waitress- you won’t be disappointed.

Dinner was so great we ate here 2 nights in a row! Our family of 6 enjoyed dinner at North 40 so much we came back again the next night! The food was all freshly prepared and the service was outstanding. The highlights for family was the pizza and the homemade dessert. But truly, everything was wonderful! We will be back! Great price for great food 😀

Wish we were still there! Wonderful! We just got back home today and I couldn't wait to write a review for this wonderful lodge! We rented the entire lodge for a wedding at the LaPrades which was 5 minutes away from the lodge. We stayed in the Living Quarters and it was so warm and comfortable and our bed was incredible. We highly recommend the lodge....

Perfect north Georgia getaway I love this place. Year round, it's awesome. Bobby and Ginger are the perfect hosts, and we love being surrounded by the mountains, but close to so many great shops and galleries for rainy day activities. Helen is close by, too.
