Creekfront! Private ponds for fishing! Mountain views & trails. Pet-friendly

CREEKFRONT! PET-FRIENDLY! Over 1/2 mile creekfront, walking trails, two private ponds for fishing and 60+ acres of woods, creek & wetland on a managed trout stream. Blackwell Branch Cabin in the beautiful Tusquittee valley...It's all about the creek. And the mountains beyond. Fall asleep to the sounds of the rushing creek right outside the windows. Enjoy morning coffee on the wrap-around deck, 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 2-story playhouse. Fish for a trout dinner just steps outside the back door!

Blackwell Branch Cabin is bordered by two creeks-- it sits right on rushing Tusquittee Creek which can be heard from every room in the cabin and in addition, there is another small creek ("Blackwell Branch") that runs along the western edge of the property. The cabin boasts wide wrap-around decks, a rocking chair front porch and a two-story playhouse for the kids! A large section of the rear deck is closed off with gates to keep small children and pets secure. Enjoy a campfire right on the banks of the creek.

Interior: 3 bedrooms & 2 full baths (1500sf)
Upstairs--master bedroom loft with queen-size four-poster bed, two closets and large dresser. Second bedroom upstairs--single bed with a pull-out trundle and closet. Between the two bedrooms is a full bath with shower/tub and a large closet to stash away all your things. Third bedroom is downstairs with a queen bed, closet and large dresser with TV. Next to it is the other bathroom which has an old-fashioned claw-foot soaking tub, perfect for unwinding after a day on the trails. (The stacked washer/dryer is in a closet in this bathroom.)

The downstairs living space has an open plan with kitchen open to the dining room and living room. Dining room has a large farm-style table. There is a second smaller table in the dining room area for games & puzzles and setting up your laptop. The living room has a large wrap-around sectional sofa w/recliner that sits right in front of the river-rock hearth and wood-burning stove and a large HD TV. Kitchen, dining room and living room all open out to the wide wrap-around decks. The large rocking chair front porch is a great place to watch for deer as they trek from the pond and head up the mountain at the end of the day.

The property: The cabin sits on three wooded acres along Tusquittee Creek, level, with a gravel pull-through drive. Serenity Lane is a dead-end road with only four homes, offering both peace and privacy.

Internet, TV and telephone: Keeping in mind that cellular service here in our little corner of the mountains can be somewhat erratic, we've provided a landline telephone (unlimited long distance in the continental US) and hi-speed internet to help you keep in touch. TV is provided by DirectTV and a Roku streaming device lets you use your Netflix, Hulu and other apps.

Equipment & supplies:
Bedrooms & baths: All sheets and towels are provided with extras in the linen closet. Bathrooms are supplied with bar soap, liquid hand soap, extra toilet paper and Kleenex, and hairdryer.
Kitchen is fully equipped: microwave, coffeemaker (Keurig and drip), toaster, blender, hand-mixer, all pots & pans, dishwasher soap and liquid dish soap, hand soap, paper towels.
Living room: Starter supply of wood for wood-burning stove is provided. For the big fire-pit out by the creek, you'll find plenty of dead-fall wood on the property.
Reading library, games & puzzles: You’ll find a large collection of books and puzzles of all types in the bookcase and nightstands.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned cabin, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a DVD player is provided for your entertainment.

Absolutely Perfect!

The location is perfect! My son loved fishing and Cooper the dog loved swimming in the pond. Lots of trails to walk around the 2 ponds. We did smore by the fire pit. The kitchen is stocked with everything you could ever need and very organized. The grill was clean and nice. They provided fresh strawberries, cider, crackers (these are yummy) & fresh flowers. We will be coming back!

Absolutely Amazing!!

From arrival to departure our family had an amazing time. The property was private, beautiful and there were many trails to enjoy, a pond for fishing and a beautiful creek. When we first arrived we were greeted by Linda and given a tour of the house. She had fresh picked flowers, a bottle of sparkling apple cider, a treat from a popular local store and even a few dog treats for our pup waiting for us. The cabin was so clean and organized and the house was stocked with everything we would need for our stay. There were so many special touches including filled bird and squirrel feeders, dry firewood, plenty of outside seating and so much more. Linda provided great communication and so much information about the surrounding area and recommended fun things to do. We loved the app too. We will look forward to visiting again!

This was our third time staying at Blackwell Branch cabin and it definitely will not be our last. The cabin is very clean and well stocked. Jorge makes the prettiest flower arrangements. Our favorite part is sitting by the creek reading a book or lying in the hammock. The sound of the creek soothes the soul. I highly recommend Blackwell Branch to anyone who is looking to relax and destress.

A Most Memorable Stay!!

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!!

Perfect Getaway

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!

Beautiful mountain hideaway

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.

Beautiful Location

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.

This was the nicest and most well stocked rental that we have ever stayed at. The owner met with us when we arrived and shared all the information that you could ever need about the property . When we arrived, there were fresh flowers and snacks for us and our pups. The house was well equipped with everything we needed and then some . The creek is steps away from the house and is so peaceful. The property is beautiful with a walking path goes along the creek and around the pond. We saw deer every day in the field across the creek and also in the lot by the cabin . I caught some pretty nice trout in the creek also ,Would definitely stay here again.

Amazing

If I could rate Blackwell cabin 10 stars I would!! This cabin is the cleanest, well stocked cabin that we have ever stayed in. All you need is clothes, food, a few toiletries and your fishing gear. They have books, puzzles, games, hammock, fireplace, firepit, all of the kitchen supplies one could ever need, the list goes on and on. Linda is a great hostess, she left the best fresh cookies, fruit, wild flowers, doggie treats and snacks for us that you could imagine. All of those extras are such a nice touch, and I for one noticed them as soon as I walked in the door. We got exactly what we went there for, lots of rest and relaxation. We fished at the pond daily, and caught some trout and many bluegill. We ventured out on the trails to take in the beautiful scenery as well. My favorite part was laying in the hammock down at the creek everyday and just taking in all the sounds of nature that surround. This is definitely our happy place and we would 💯% recommend staying here as much as possible!!!!
