Blackwell Branch Cabin

It's OK, you're in the mountains now... Breathe.

Take a snooze in the hammock or idle the day away on the yard swing. Watch the kids try their hand at fishing in the creek. Catch your dinner right from your backyard and cook it on the gas BBQ grill. Your trip to Blackwell Branch Cabin is all about experiencing the outdoors.

Blackwell Branch Cabin… It’s all about the creek. And the pond. And the mountains beyond. Peace, nature, serenity. Fall asleep to the sounds of the rushing creek right outside your window. Open the French doors wide and let the fresh breeze in. Enjoy morning coffee on the wrap-around deck overlooking the creek, watch deer in the meadow and geese in the pond. Relax in the evening on the rocking chair porch. Let the kids run – they’ll love the playhouse or just messing around in the creek.

Nestled In The Trees

The cabin sits on acres of woods, just steps from the rushing creek. And the kids will love the two-story playhouse!

...With A Cozy Woodburning Stove

After a busy day of hiking and waterfalls, curl up with a good book
in front of the cozy woodburning stove.

More Details About Your Stay

Blackwell Branch Cabin lies nestled between two creeks. It sits right on rushing Tusquittee Creek which can be heard from every room in the cabin and in addition, Blackwell Branch (another small creek) runs along the western edge of the property.

This smaller creek is perfect for younger kids to get their feet wet, exploring under rocks for salamanders and frogs. The cabin boasts wide wrap-around decks, a rocking chair front porch and even a two-story playhouse for the kids!

A large section of the rear deck is closed off with gates to keep your small children and pets secure. There’s a large fire-pit for nighttime campfires right on the banks of the creek.

The Property

The property: The cabin sits on three level wooded acres along Tusquittee Creek with a gravel pull-through drive. Serenity Lane is a dead-end road with only four homes– the first is Gili’s Cove Cottage (our sister property), next is an acre of woods, then Blackwell Branch Cabin, another wooded lot, then our own home. Beyond our home at the dead-end is our one and only neighbor.

We own all the wooded property between Gili’s Cove Cottage and the Cabin, so children (and grown-ups) can feel free to wander among the trees and wildflowers. Parents can feel comfortable allowing their children to run and play around the property, in the woods and along the creek.

Want to Return

We want to return! The most beautiful place ever, right on the creek.

Playhouse Simply Adorable

Playhouse was simply adorable. This exceeded our expectations! The cabin is such a quaint, comfortable, well-equipped home on the most gorgeous property. Honestly, the pictures are beautiful but don’t do it’s justice. The owners make you feel welcome and even left treats and goodies for our two daughters! Dog treats were left for our pups and we felt they were welcomed in the cabin. We told her which type of dogs we had and she had old towels and linens for us to use to cover their furniture which was so nice to not have to travel with and even had gates to keep our pups downstairs. The property is stunning. The creek was so fun for our girls and dogs. We walked the whole path which they keep mowed AND we saw small planes take off and land on the grass strip just beyond the water. It was truly a dream. We ate out in town but also ate in twice. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed and grill worked great. I was amazed at how well the home and property was maintained. We weren’t running into spider webs or having to brush off furniture outside. It was all ready for us. The girls also loved the playhouse. Simply adorable. We really hope to be back. We rafted the Nantahala with our girls (9,11) and the drive was nice. Super cute towns all around. You won’t regret your stay here. We promise!!

Listening to the creek

Listening to the creek! My wife and I recently stayed at Blackwell Branch Cabin for a quick getaway before the school year started. It was just what the doctor ordered! Linda has done a great job of making the place homey and it is well stocked with everything you may need to settle right in. The grocery store is close by and we loved sitting on the back porch with our coffee and listening to the creek gurgle by. I have to give Linda five stars as well because she always available and yet totally unobtrusive. The area itself is beautiful and you should take a walk around the pond and look for the turtle! There’s also a small airfield there and while you think it may be a distraction to the calm and peacefulness we didn’t see or hear one small plane until the last hour before we left. In fact I began watching and hoping I would actually see one land! If your thinking about booking this property I’d say just do it. You won’t be disappointed! Thanks for a great stay Linda!

Amazing stream!

Amazing stream in the back yard. Beautiful cabin & property. Owner was nice and cabin had everything needed for a 4 day stay. Highlight was the nature trail and the DEER!

Watching the Wildlife!

Loved watching the wildlife! Thank you Linda and Jorge for creating such a beautiful and well-equipped place for us to stay! Very cool and relaxing during the summer heat! Enjoyed our time in the creek and fishing in the pond and watching/naming the wildlife. We had never stayed in SW NC mountains and enjoyed getting to know Hayesville and N GA was only minutes away. But I can’t say enough about our hosts – they were available for any question and so generous with time and great recommendations. Hope we can come back again sometime and will recommend to others wholeheartedly.

Trail Along The Creek

Trail along the creek was my favorite! We enjoyed our time here, and we would definitely stay here again. The cabin was very well stocked with everything that you could need, and it was very clean and secure. The creek is beautiful and as their description mentioned you could hear it clearly from the house. Very relaxing and tranquil. The kids absolutely loved meandering down to the creek to throw rocks in and walk (carefully) through the water. My husband caught several fish in the pond near the house. The trail along the creek was my favorite. The surrounding area is so peaceful to drive through. The only thing I’d like to mention to other travelers not from the area is to be prepared to have little to no cell service if you do not have Verizon. Make sure before you leave the house to have your destination ready to go in your phone, because you surely won’t have service in a lot of areas. Despite this we always made it back to the house with little to no trouble.
