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).

    Good place. Peaceful. We had a great time.

    Cabin was cute and rustic, which I expected and was fine. Beautiful setting and location convenient to where we wanted to be. But bathrooms were not clean (toilets) and the kitchen was kind of gross--ants and flies everywhere, surfaces very sticky. Well beyond what you expect in a house in a lake or wooded setting.

    The house was cute and had just the right amount of modern features and quaint charm. The pond is directly behind the house and you can fish off the porch if you want. The pond seems to be well stocked but the fish are particular about their food. They mostly liked worms and bread. We brought our kayaks and the size of the pond was perfect for beginners. The property is large and remote. There is a lot of wildlife to experience. We even saw some bears so make sure to keep you trash secure. Check in and out was easy. The GPS found the place with no problems. The Internet worked well. The kitchen is cute with modern appliances. The beds were comfortable and the AC worked well.

    We enjoyed this home because of the hidden, quiet location, and the beautiful lake was a wonderful bonus. The house is roomy, cozy, and nicely decorated. The location is far enough away from the main highways, yet close enough to grocery, restaurants, shopping, etc. It is 21 minutes away from the beautiful Biltmore Estate and other attractions. Along with Biltmore, we also visited the Cove Arcade and the Pinball museum, which was a lot of fun. Also, the wildlife there is amazing. We saw wild turkeys, rabbits, fox. Fish and turtles come to greet you at the back deck when you peek over into the lake. Also, we literally watched a black bear climb the apple tree in the front yard and eat apples. We would stay here again if we return to Asheville, NC!

    We have an awesome stay at this cabin on a private lake! We fished all week and caught several bass and catfish. The commute to Asheville was very easy and went into the city daily.

    We came up for a weekend to enjoy some down time with my sister and her husband. We enjoyed our stay and did some fishing. We caught some bluegill and a large mouth bass. A group of turkeys roamed the property and nested above the pond in some pines. It was a clean and quiet place to stay.
