About this property
Blackberry Hill: A Dog Friendly Cabin in the Woods
Welcome to Blackberry Hill, a three-story rustic cabin nestled in the woods that perfectly blends mountain charm with modern conveniences. Tucked away on a lush property with the tranquil sounds of Blackberry Creek running right along the property line, this is your ultimate nature retreat. Watch regular visitors—deer and wild turkey—right from the deck, and enjoy the feeling of being a world away while staying less than 5 miles from downtown Blue Ridge on fully paved roads. Best of all, we are proudly dog-friendly with no additional pet fees!
The Space
With three beautifully appointed stories, there is plenty of space for family and friends to spread out, relax, and make memories.
Top Floor (Master Suite): Your private oasis awaits. This floor features a spacious King master suite complete with a private balcony. It’s the perfect spot to sip your morning coffee, listen to the creek, and watch the wildlife start their day.
Main Level: The heart of the home includes a comfortable Queen bedroom, a modern, fully equipped kitchen, and a cozy living area anchored by a gas fireplace. Step outside to the screened-in porch to find an outdoor wood-burning fireplace, or head to the deck to fire up the gas grill.
The Basement: The ultimate hangout zone! This fully finished lower level features a third bedroom with a Queen/Full bunk bed and a private bathroom. Spend your evenings shooting pool, fixing drinks at the wet bar, or warming up by the basement's dedicated gas fireplace.
Outdoor Living & Amenities
Hot Tub: Melt your stress away with a relaxing soak under the stars.
Fire Pits & Fireplaces: Take your pick! Roast marshmallows around the new flagstone outdoor wood-burning fire pit, get cozy by the outdoor wood fireplace on the main level deck, or enjoy the ambiance of two indoor gas fireplaces.

About the host
Hosted by Hillery and Tom Siffermann
Tom and Hillery are both Real Estate professionals with a combined 45 years of Real Estate experience, mostly in commercial real estate development and management. We discovered St Croix almost by accident. With Covid running rampant in 2020, and international travel not an option for us, we ventured to St Croix to avoid international travel restrictions. We immediately fell in love with the island. Having the ability to choose from several breathtaking beaches frequently by ourselves, was all we needed to know this was the place for us. We purchased Mojito Hill in May of 2021. Just prior to closing Mojito Hill, Splash of Lime became available. We made an offer within an hour of it hitting the market, and now have two amazing St Croix Villas. In September of 2021, we decided and add a more mountainy property to our offering, and we selected Blue Ridge for its beautiful mountain scenery, rivers, great downtown restaurants and dozens of nearby local wineries. Our favorite activity at Blackberry Hill is enjoying a coffee on the upper deck with a roaring fire in the chimenea.
Why they chose this property
Blue Ridge offers something for everyone. A sportsman's paradise with endless local hunting and fishing opportunities. Blue Ridge also offers activities for many other interests. Between zip lining, river rafting, horse back riding, hiking and waterfall viewing, among many other activities, there is no shortage of things to do. For the real adventurer, just 15 minutes to the south Expedition Bigfoot will answer all your questions about Squatch movements. Downtown Blue Ridge is 4 miles away from Blackberry Hill, and is packed with restaurants and shopping. Blue Ridge is also an emerging wine region with over 40 wineries within 60 miles of the cabin and many much closer. Blue Ridge is also a big apple growing region, featuring Mercier Orchards and short drive to Georgia's famous Apple Festival in October. Our favorite thing to do in Blue Ridge is to start our day with Coffee (latte machine provided in cabin) on the upper deck with a roaring fire in the Chimenea. We then like to discover new wineries and bring our favorite bottle of the day back to the cabin, sprinkle some corn on the patio, build a big fire in the main deck fireplace, and enjoy our wine, while watching the wildlife visiting for an afternoon treat.
