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.

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!

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!

Absolutely beautiful!!! Check in info arrived well before our day to depart and all was exactly as described. The cabin is secluded and very private. Fence around entire property to assure pets are secure. Cabin and grounds were well maintained and anything that was a must for your stay was provided. Kitchen was clean and well stocked with cooking and eating utensils. Rooms were well decorated and very roomy and comfortable. It truly felt like home away from home - with amazing views. Everyone loved the hot tub and making s'mores in the fire pit. I loved the cool breeze on the front porch swing. The location was great. Secluded but only 3 miles from plenty of activities and eats. We really loved the place and are hopefully to be able to return for a longer more laid-back trip as this trip was for my Grand-daughters graduation.

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!

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.

Family get away

This was the perfect weekend get-a-way after our daughter graduation from UGA before her and her husband move to ID. We had 6 adults staying and it was perfect. One bedroom and bathroom on each floor. And of course the hot tub was a hit. Would highly recommend and would stay again on our next trip!

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.

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
