Lillian’s blackberry cabin in Goodhope

Lillian’s Blackberry Cabin is a labor of love — once my childhood home, it sat neglected for 40 years until we lovingly started restoring it in 2020.

We are actually about 15 miles southwest of Ava on highway 76 near Goodhope (there is no address on GPS for more exact location).
