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 cabin was amazing! The layout was perfect for a small group and it was so nice that it was set on a few acres of land. The host was so responsive and helpful, and everything inside was immaculately clean. We are looking forward to staying here again next year. Such a great experience.

Perfect get away spot near Helen. Really enjoyed the layout of the cabin. My granddaughter, 9, got to see a deer and it's fawn from the back deck. We are planning another trip and definitely will be staying here!!!

We have been coming to Smokerise for many years. Unfortunately the cabin is showing its age and is in need of some updates. For instance the dishwasher is in need of replacement. Its current condition is unacceptable. New plates are in order as well. Kitchen pans and knives are in need of replacement and or sharpening. Most disturbingly the smoke detector in the loft which died during our visit last year has not been replaced. Also only one key was supplied as opposed to two which have been provided in past years. The cabin is in a great location on a great property, but delayed maintenance is taking its toll.

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!

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!

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!

Had a wonderful time.

We had a wonderful time. The cabin was in a perfect location for hiking, tubing, zip lines, and if you just want to take it easy in town. We loved it and had a blast.

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.
