About this house rental

Summary:
Bull Creek Peaceful Escape

The Space:
Peace and quiet await at this Bull Creek Ranch 2BR/2BA retreat, nestled on three acres and boasting a private mountain lake, sweeping views, and a fruit and nut orchard. Spend the day swimming and fishing from your own dock, or take the canoes out for a float. Gather on the huge back deck to watch the stars come out, or make s'mores by the firepit. Play sand volleyball at the court just across the driveway. Sip cocktails on the front patio or read a book while the kids play in the pond. You're minutes from the fine dining, local breweries, and eclectic shops of Asheville. Go for a drive along the Blue Ridge Parkway, or spend the day touring the Biltmore House and Grove Park Inn -- all within 15 miles. Black Mountain is also 12 miles away.

This newly renovated home offers a mix of rustic-chic decor and charming original touches, while vaulted ceilings and scenic vistas throughout create an inviting vibe. Gather on the queen-size futon and love seat to watch a movie on the 55 TV. The fully stocked kitchen features stainless steel appliances and a large island, while original cabinetry adds charm. Thoughtful touches include an espresso machine and a waffle maker. There's a breakfast table in the living area, and the dining table makes a comfy spot for a meal. Or head to one of the many outdoor tables for a meal alfresco.

Whether you're swimming in the lake, roasting marshmallows around the firepit, fishing, or playing volleyball, this home offers plenty of outdoor activities. Hike the lush forest paths and set a picnic beneath a shady tree. With the birds chirping and the leaves rustling, this peaceful three-acre oasis feels worlds away.

Sleep soundly on a plush king bed in the primary bedroom with a 42' TV. The en-suite bathroom has a tub/shower combination. The second bedroom has a California king bed and gorgeous lake views. A nearby bathroom has a walk-in shower and a separate water closet. Extra perks at this home include complimentary Wi-Fi, a washer/dryer, and driveway parking. (There's plenty of room to park an RV.)

Drive along the Blue Ridge Parkway, spend the day touring the Biltmore House and Grove Park Inn, or check out local breweries, including Highland Brewery and Pisgah Brewery -- all within 15 miles. Other nearby natural wonders include the WNC Nature Center (6 miles), Black Mountain (12 miles), Pisgah National Forest Preserve (20 miles), Chimney Rock (27 miles), and Lake Lure (31 miles).

We had a great time at Bull Creek Ranch Lake House! The home’s views were expansive and we had a ton of fun with our dog on the property and around the lake. It is beautifully taken care of. Some elements that could use updating are the beds, linens, pillows and towels, and the guest bathroom shower had mold. We didn’t sleep well, but think these are easy fixes to make this place 5 stars! A note to future guests: this home is 10 mins from grocery/gas and another 10 mins to downtown Asheville restaurants and activities. It’s not a hard drive, but can definitely add travel time for any plans or reservations. Also, we saw bears which was so cool! Never felt in danger but a good thing to be aware of for other guests with pets.

Pretty pond. Comfortable home.

The kitchen was fully stocked with anything we needed to prep and cook meals. The pond, the views, the field and volleyball net for playing, checked all of the boxes for us for a fun and relaxing family get away. Host was accessible and super kind. Made some great restaurant and hiking recommendations. What a great place to visit!

Good lake side property. Nice quite and private setting. Slightly away from activities. Probably better in summer, fall or with snow. Kitchen utensils could be better. Grill worked well. Sofa bed is comfortable. Internet is decent. With all the VRBO junk fee, price is STEEP. This is not owner's fault.
