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.

Everything was as the listing said. Steve got back to us immediately with a few questions we had. The property is very peaceful and private, with alot of room for our dog to run..The cabin is cozy, clean and has everything you need. We had a great time. Only issue was the key lock box, I had to fight some when we arrived and I could not open it when we left., but this could possibly have been me, it was raining and I have cancer so I couldn't stand in the rain to long .

Disliked: Cleanliness
Kitchen experience was poor. Deep clean, replacements, and order required. Large cracked glass oven door, rusted stove burner grates, broken portion off of oven drawer pull. Kitchen cupboards packed too full of many dishes that should be thrown out. Split porcelain on coffee cups, burnt up overused teflon pans. Dish washer wont deliver the soap pod from broken dispenser. Food and grime down the side of refrigerator. Grime in cracks of appliances, cupboard door handles. Table mats are sticky/dirty. No room in the cupboards nor was there a pantry - our drygoods had to be left out in boxes. It was our anniversary and Im a cook. Ugly dishes and kitchen experience. Much more 'rustic' than the pictures indicated.

We enjoyed the outdoor woodsy space and fire pit. The hot tub was so relaxing. This cabin reminded me of the cabin my family had when I was a child. Being near Helen for Christmas holidays was a special time.

The wind was bitter cold so we didn’t use the hot tub or the fire pit but the cabin was cozy. The host was very responsive. There was plenty of space to enjoy games and family time but also spread out to three separate rooms on three floors for couples to have alone time. The only criticism that we have and it is a small thing but we like to shoot pool and it was one of the reasons we picked this cabin. The pool table is too large for the space it is in so you couldn’t play on all sides. But, we loved the place and the stay and would stay here again.

This location is close to Helen and Dahlonega, but quiet and secluded. We enjoyed the fireplace, fire pit, pool table, hot tub, and fenced yard for our friends' dog. The cabin was clean and cozy. The owner, Steve was nice and responsive. We loved having 3 bathrooms available. The bed was comfortable. A perfect place to get away!

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.
