Bull Creek Peaceful Escape

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 and use the small table top grill 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).

Perfect Asheville Getaway
This home was stunning. It was upgraded very nicely, the beds and couches comfortable and the kitchen easily useable. The home is secluded and quiet with stunning views but also not too far from activities. We would 100% stay again!

Quiet getaway
We were looking for a relaxing place to get away and this place had it all. We brought our blue heeler who absolutely loved the pond and all the swimming. Beautiful place for evening walks and we were fortunate enough to see a momma bear and her two cubs. We will definitely remember Bull Creek Ranch.

Unbelievable piece of property
The lake is georgeous. The night sounds and stars are awesome. Invite your friends to come visit while you are there - It’s a wonderful small party place with swimming, volleyball, mountain biking close, hiking close, and just sitting and being with nature. Really awesome place.

Mountain Life Private Lake Escape
Our family really enjoyed the wildlife that visited the property and fishing and swimming in the private lake. The property was clean and tidy, and it was pet and kid friendly. We truly appreciated the excellent customer support. We would love to return for a stay in the fall. Thank you again for helping our family create such wonderful memories!

A delightful location for relaxation, with pond and kayaks, wild turkeys, bunny rabbits, geese, and even the occasional wandering black bear. We will be back

Asheville Getaway
This was a hidden gem of a property. The outside property was perfect with the pond, the large deck, and the walking trails. The inside was comfortable; could use a little TLC. Was a great place to spend a relaxing week.

Perfect Getaway
This was my family's second stay at Bull Creek and we had an even more amazing time and look forward to making it an annual tradition. The property provides for a perfect escape whether the morning mist over the pond or the mountains in the background, you can't help but from being relaxed while staying at Bull Creek.

Lovely, peaceful stay
We ended up staying in the house a lot due to the weather, and had everything we needed. The only thing that would've made it better was if the fireplace had been working especially since the heaters had to work very hard (sub-zero wind chills while we were there).

We loved everything. The home was spacious, clean and very comfortable. The location was away from town and quiet and peaceful. The pond was spectacular. Lots of fish and turtles greeted us.

Beautiful property that makes you appreciate nature and a slow pace, all while meeting one’s needs for peace! Love this place! If you stay, you will meet Hook & Buddy the local snappers. You will hear the crow cry, the rooster welcome the morning, coyotes yip, and the mesmerizing sound of water. You may see a bear, bears, turkey, rabbits, and definitely fish…who will follow you…and beg for food. (They like Purina. Just saying.) Play a board game. How refreshing?! Eat at EVG. Baklava is a must have. Really enjoyed it and just what we needed! Thanks for sharing your space with us!

Beautiful property for relaxing
The drive to get to this place was beautiful. The house itself was well maintained and comfortable. I wanted a spot to relax and enjoy the cooler temperatures and this fit the bill. It is a bit of a drive on winding roads to get to a grocery store so be sure you have everything you need for your stay.

Wonderful!
We enjoyed our stay! Quiet, great location, and the pond was great! Clean and comfy beds. Our boys fished every morning and evening. We were in a great location to visit Asheville, The Biltmore, Black Mountain, Mt. Mitchell, Chimney Rock and other surrounding areas. Great to come back to relax/fish each day after our outings. Beautiful views. We enjoyed it!

Perfect getaway
We had an amazing time. The location is secluded and peaceful as advertised, but it’s just 15 minutes from Asheville proper. Waking up to a flock of turkeys gathered around the pond each morning was a highlight for us and our two puppies. We had one member in our group using a wheelchair and walker and the zero entry into the house, as well as an accessible bathroom and shower was extremely helpful. We would definitely go back!
