Find the Cheap Lake Helen Hotels

Olga and Hugo run the nicest B and B in Lake Helen! Beautiful view, lovely room and excellent service. They are both so nice and accommodating. Very convenient to a lot of attractions like New Smyrna, Daytona, Downtown Deland, Sanford, Cassadaga and Orlando. Most things are a short drive away yet the B and B is so peaceful and quiet. The Inn has a private dock, canoe and you have access to Lake Helen to relax or fish. Property has a grill for those inclined to barbecue or plenty of nice restaurants in the surrounding areas. You won’t regret staying here.

Great room. Friendly and easy check in. Great breakfast buffet

Found this Gem while searching for places near downtown Deland. Stayed one night and fell in love. The older gentleman who checked us in was charming and very informative of the Hotel and the history.He even carried our bag to the room. The other staff especially Lily was so helpful. Our room was like stepping back in time and the beds were extremely comfortable. I could go on and on especially about the morning coffee! Yum Yum. Will difinetly return to enjoy all this Gem has to offer.

Our stay Thanksgiving 2021 Covid protocols were in place, very good. Clean! Security was great, as Deland has some issues with homelessness and a few people trying to make it on the streets. A few were somewhat agressive. So, the security was appreciated. This hotel (only one of two) on the main street in DeLand (the other is the Courtyard by Marriott on the opposite end of the main street- Woodland). The Artisan is the BEST OPTION in all ways - location, food and drinks, entertainment! We reserved a suite, here at the Artisan Downtown. It was nice, with a SMALL living area space with a couch, desk, and a small fridge. The suite had a queen bed, (maybe too soft) and nice crisp white sheets. Two phones - one in the living space and one in the bedroom. The bathroom - SUPER white crisp towels and we were provided with two GREAT bathrobes and two pairs of slippers! Coffee and tea are available in the room for no extra fee. Awesome A+ The only low point for us - “high-end” amenities - they were awful - Chinese soaps that would not actually lather. We actually shopped for alternatives in town. Only one suggestion to management - please REPLACE soaps and bath amenities, or offer none at all. Better bath amenities would be better than the nice slippers. They were an extra treat, but the soaps were so bad we actually shopped in town for alternatives. Nice Cuban café in the lobby (great breakfast) as well as a great on-site bar with live entertainment both nights we were there (on a weekend). The bar has GREAT ambiance and VERY fair prices($5-10). For $200 a night, this is a MUCH better option than the Marriott (any day). Period. The Deland Marriott Courtyard was good (B+++) , really good, but not as good, as is the Artisan in our opinion, a solid A. Our go-to in Deland. You will not be disappointed.

The walls must be very thick because I could not hear the interstate or the neighbors that were playing loud music and drinking beer next door. They had their door open playing music when I passed by. I think they were making tortillas in the room. The AC is wonderfully quiet. The fridge made noise, but I reported it when I left. If you unplug a fridge make sure you put a towel inside to absorb the water. The parking lot is well lighted. The area seemed very safe (not near bad neighborhoods). Breakfast was served by an employee. You just tell them what you want. The scrambled eggs do not have salt added for those with diet concerns (very nice). Fantastic coffee! Only 2% and reg milk; no skim milk. I stayed 4 nights with points so my review may be biased.
