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.

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.
