Hershberger’s is only a 5-7 minute drive. Our friends own this place. They make absolutely wonderful donuts, cinnamon rolls, danishes and breads. Saturday mornings are usually busy and they often sell out by mid-morning. Try the raspberry cream cheese danish or the maple donut!

We love that you can sit out back by the creek to enjoy your BBQ. And Brasstown Falls is very close if you want to do a little hike and then eat! They usually start selling out of certain food items early especially on Saturday.
