The best place to enjoy Oktoberfest is from one of the many cabin rental accommodations in the region, or a deluxe room in one of Helen’s lovely European themed inns.

The town’s renaissance commenced in the early 1970s as it began to reinvent itself in the Bavarian style, influenced by an artist who had served with the U.S. Army in Germany. Nowadays, Helen is one of the top destination resorts in the region.
