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.

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.

As advertised

All in all, this was a beautiful property in a great location with just a few very minor issues. I would 100% rent here again.The cabin is just minutes from downtown Helen and the local wineries. The entire 3-1/2 acre property is enclosed with goat/hog fencing, so it was perfect to let our dog outside with no worries about him wandering off. Tons of parking, a nice fire pit and a gorgeous back deck with views of the forest. There was plenty of room for everyone with 3 bedrooms and bathrooms, although curiously, the room labeled as the "master bedroom" is in the loft and open to the living room below. Not sure why there is not a wall there for privacy, as it would be easy to add one. It didn't bother us as we used the other rooms but it might be an issue to some people.There is a good assortment of plates and dishes and cookware, along with coffee makers (drip and keurig) and a working fridge and dishwasher. We did notice there was dried food on some of the plates in the cupboard and dirty dishes in the dishwasher though, along with dust and cobwebs on all the windowsills, so not sure if the cleaning service is doing all that great a job. That said, the bathrooms were clean and all the plumbing worked just fine so really not too bad for a vacation cabin. Only other issue we noticed were a lot of light bulbs (inside and out) were burned out and some of the dining room chairs were kind of sketchy to sit on. They could use some glue and TLC...We were there in early April so

The only problem we had was the address not being available on gps so we had to use the convenience store across the road to get back each time. But the host was attentive and the property was just as described. I would suggest getting a TV on the lower level

Cozy Weekend for Valentine's Day

We had a great time at this cabin, despite the rainy weekend. Tons of kitchen supplies to cook with, but bring your own ingredients, spices, oils, coffee, etc. Very very clean and well kept! Lots of cute decor throughout the cabin, as well as games, books, and DVDs! Would have loved to visit when the weather was nicer, as we weren't able to use the hot tub or fire pit, but the gas fireplace was lovely. Highly recommend!

Excellent accommodations for a quiet and secluded vacation but still close to town

Smokerise is a wonderful cabin at the end of a private and secluded road. While you can see neighbors they are far enough away to have privacy. The property is beautiful and provides a peaceful walk around the grounds. Access to the home is via physical key in a lockbox. Be careful with the front door as it will appear unlocked from the inside and be locked on the outside. The cabin is very well stocked. From the kitchen, to the bedrooms and bathrooms, this cabin has everything you will need. The beds are sufficiently comfortable but not great. If you toss and turn during the night, the bed frames squeak which could keep your house guests awake. Smoke alarm in the upstairs loft was beeping upon check-in. Owner was quick to respond and send maintenance man. Downstairs is a pool table and darts. Hot tub on the back deck was clean and wonderful. It is more private than the listing pictures appear. We felt comfortable and secluded while soaking. Overall it’s a great cabin, beautiful spacious property, close enough to town, but quiet for rest. Would recommend, we plan to stay again!
