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.

This is our second time at Smokerise. It’s perfect for three couples for a weekend away. There are three floors each with a bedroom and full bathroom. The cabin feels like you’re away from everything but still convenient to places in Cleveland and Helen. We enjoyed Serenity Cellars one night and Yonah Mountain Winery the next day. The host is very responsive. Would recommend for your next mountain getaway.

We loved our stay at this cabin! The property is so peaceful; our dogs enjoyed the freedom to run around and we loved watching the fireflies in the evening. The cabin itself was very clean and well stocked, and the hot tub was clean and relaxing. It was the perfect weekend getaway, close to restaurants, tubing, hiking, and shopping. Highly recommend!

Everything was clean and as it appears in pictures. We loved that it gives that out in the country feel but yet is just a few miles from downtown Helen. We appreciate that it is pet friendly as we do not vacation without our pups. We had one small question while we were there & Steve texted right back. The hot tub at night is peaceful.

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 military 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.
