About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Best Around - 3 Miles to Helen & 4 Miles to Cleveland - 3.5 Acres

Smokerise Cabin is located on 3.5 private, fenced, wooded acres which back up to Smithgall Woods-Dukes Creek Conservation Area (5,600-acre mountain retreat). Smokerise Drive is directly off Hwy 75, a little more than 3 miles from Helen and 4 miles from Cleveland GA. A perfect mix of privacy, cabin-cozy yet so convenient to Helen and surrounding areas.

This veteran-owned, 3 Bedroom and 3 bath cabin offers you a full and relaxing vacation experience. The property is off Hwy 75, yet close to Helen. For those that know of the Babyland attraction (for the kids), it is literally "just around the corner." As for wildlife, it is very likely you will see deer and other "critters" during your visit. We have a winter view of Mt. Yonah's stone face.

The cabin has all the comforts of home and more. You and your guests will get a good night's sleep in the comfortable king or in one of two queen size beds. Each bedroom has its own full bathroom. We offer wireless internet, Direct TV, fireplace, Caldera (6) person hot tub, pool table, good shower heads, and a relaxing fire pit for roasting marshmallows.

Smokerise has been delighting renters for for more than 15 years.

The driveway is very narrow and could use repairs, but that's not the owners problem. It's a county road. The property is very secluded and private. We enjoyed the stay. It had all the amenities we needed. The hot tub was nice and relaxing. The house is located in close proximity to Helen and Cleveland. Close to Ingles, grocery store which we frequented. We had a great time just sitting in the porch, relaxing and enjoying each others company. We were college roommates and we take a yearly trip and this location we perfect. The lockbox is a little hard to open as well as the outdoor trash can. The basement stayed hot even with lowering the air, But those are just minor issues. It is a nice place to stay. I would go back.

Great place, only downside was not having a working light in upstairs closet and I couldn’t figure out the ceiling fan in the loft. The property itself was very well kept. Communication was great, beds were comfortable. Home was very welcoming!

What a wonderful property! 3 levels with a bedroom and full bath on each level. Was perfect for 3 couples for a getaway weekend. We came for Crush Fest at Yonah Mountain Winery. This property makes you feel like you’re away from everything but very convenient to Yonah Mountain, Serenity Cellars, and The Jumping Goat. The property is just as described and host incredibly responsive. We felt right at home during our stay. We saw deer from the back porch both mornings while enjoying our coffee!

Absolutely beautiful!!! Check in info arrived well before our day to depart and all was exactly as described. The cabin is secluded and very private. Fence around entire property to assure pets are secure. Cabin and grounds were well maintained and anything that was a must for your stay was provided. Kitchen was clean and well stocked with cooking and eating utensils. Rooms were well decorated and very roomy and comfortable. It truly felt like home away from home - with amazing views. Everyone loved the hot tub and making s'mores in the fire pit. I loved the cool breeze on the front porch swing. The location was great. Secluded but only 3 miles from plenty of activities and eats. We really loved the place and are hopefully to be able to return for a longer more laid-back trip as this trip was for my Grand-daughters graduation.

I can't say enough about this adorable cabin. It was sizable enough for space and comfort, but also cozy for a small family. The owner, Steve, was very tentative and communicated well with answers to the questions we had. The grounds were well kept, offering a fire pit w/ wood and a fun walking path around the acreage. We will definitely stay at this cabin during our next trip to Helen!

Mother Nature At Her Finest

1st night at the cabin we were lucky enough to watch 2 Black Bears walk across the driveway. The next morning, 6 deer were grazing in the yard. The location is perfect for nature lovers and tourists, as Helen & Cleveland are just a short drive away. The cabin was clean & comfortable. Highly recommend.
