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.

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!
Great place to get away. Just far enough away from town and easy to get to. The mountain views are spectacular and just waking up watching the wild live around the lake... Can't ask for anything more.
We had a fantastic time! The property was spotless, comfortable, and exactly as described. The host was welcoming and responsive, making everything easy from check-in to checkout. We truly enjoyed our stay and would happily return again. Highly recommend!
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.
Fantastic property! It’s a little piece of heaven!

Great stay just outside of Asheville!
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.
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.
We had a wonderful stay at this property. The location was beautiful and the house was spotless upon arrival. We will certainly look to book here in the future.Thanks for having us!
Bull Creek Escape was set in a beautiful, scenic environment. The pond, trees, hills surrounding the property are gorgeous. Remote, yet easy access to Asheville and Blue Ridge Parkway
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.

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!

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.

Relaxing by the pond
This was a great get-a-way. Nice big rooms. Easy access to the pond. See lots of nature and wildlife.
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
We had a great time staying at this property, very quiet and had everything we needed. The house was very clean upon our arrival. The kids loved kayaking around the lake while enjoying all the wildlife that was there! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!
