Blackwell Branch Cabin - What's Provide

Here at Gili's Cove Cottage and Blackwell Branch Cabin, our guests can enjoy fishing in Serenity Pond right outside their back door. It's the perfect spot to mess around with your new tackle, to help the kids land their first fish

There are many things we don't have here in our little corner of the mountains-- Walmart, strip malls, highways and traffic lights-- but one of the things we do have is easy, local access to some of the finest, freshest fruits and vegetables imaginable. Late Spring is the season for fresh, locally grown strawberries. Early summer is when all the wonderful Farmer's Markets open and growers from the entire region gather to offer the bounty of their harvests. Here in our little community of Hayesville, NC we're blessed with SMM Farms, a family farm owned and operated by folks who have called Hayesville and Clay county home for several generations. Meet Salvador and Alyssa and their family in this wonderful article that details the risks and rewards of operating a family farm here in the western North Carolina mountains.

Jackrabbit Trail System is a hiking and biking trail system, part of the Nantahala National Forest, right here in our little corner of the mountains!
