There are 2 homes and a bunkhouse on this property. You could have a church group trip here. It also has a fire pit and a gathering area in the bottoms. It’s NOT great for trout fishing. It’s a small stream with very little access to deep holes. You can go right down the road to long shoals wayside park for some good trout fishing. It’s a great place to take kids trout fishing. Go out to eat at Aunt Sue’s. They serve something different every night. They’re good southern folks with delicious food. They had a blue grass band and a great buffet the evening we went. But beware, they close early. Everything closes shop around 7PM around there. Including the BP gas station at the bottom of the mountain. Aunt Sue’s is the closest best food you’re going to find. Everything else is far away in Brevard or overpriced straight out of the freezer box food.

I am not one to write negative reviews but feel I should let others know of our experience before you book. I have videos of giant rats running back and forth between the kitchen and dining room in the main cabin that I sent to the host and only ever received AI responses from his account after trying to give him a chance to make things right.

This is our second stay at Blake’s with a very short notice. He was very responsive and professional. We really enjoy staying here. Would recommend to anyone to stay here.
