About this property

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.

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!

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.

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.

Stay was good, cabin all way in back down a one-car road, when other cars driving opposite way have to try and get out of way.. Fire pit not dug into ground and no fire wood, wind blowing fire all over.

About the host

Hosted by Steve Fleming

Host profile image
The Smokerise Cabin is owned by the Fleming Family. The Flemings purchased the property in 2015 after completing a 30-year career with the United States Army. We have been so pleased by the number of quality renters and many military members (present and past) who have appreciated our home the way we do. Come enjoy the North Georgia Mountains in a relaxed setting...you will not be disappointed.

What makes this property unique

Our place is for those who want to relax and feel like you are staying at someone's home not a rental. We offer a 3 level 3BR & 3BA home on 3.5 wooded fenced acres. It is private, relaxing, comfortable, inviting, easy and convenient to Helen without being in Helen. We are just 3 miles from Helen. This is our home - it is decorated with a warm feel and has it all from slippers to everything a gourmet chef would need. All you have to bring is yourself, clothes, food -- and (of course) a great attitude.
