Creekside home with hot tub within 30 mins to Asheville

Relax to the soothing sound of Lickskillet Creek. This home is situated in the Bald Creek area of Yancey County near the quaint town of Burnsville.

At Lickskillet there is plenty of room to relax inside and out. The creek boarders the back yard which has a fire pit, picnic table, hammock and two decks. The front yard is flat with plenty of space to play and a picturesque barn and pasture across the road. The house was remodeled in 2022 making it feel fresh and clean. It is decorated in a trendy bohemian farmhouse style. The main level of the home is accessible by two steps and has all the living space on one level. There is a rec room in the basement with a ping pong and foosball table, couch, video games and card table making this a great hang out space. This area is not heated or cooled but stays comfortable most of the year.

This place was great and lived up to the rating. The house was perfect and the location peaceful. We enjoyed fires by the creek, cold nights by the wood stove, the hot tub and just relaxing in general. We actually enjoyed Burnsville as much as we did Asheville and ended up shopping and eating there more than we did in Asheville (The brewery was our favorite). Bonus points for the most comfortable bed and best sleep I’ve had in a while. We are already planning a return trip.

We loved our stay! The home is very clean and welcoming. There were touches of Halloween all throughout the home to make it feel festive. The space was very relaxing and just what my husband and I needed to get away from all of the business of life. The host was easy to contact. I would love to bring my family back for a vacation.

Our stay at Lickskillet was awesome. We got the full experience of mountain living, while also having everything you could want indoors. Our kids loved getting to listen to music on the record player, too. A really nice weekend for us all.

Fantastic stay in Burnsville

We had a wonderful time visiting this part of North Carolina. It is a lovely all mountain town and after a day out and about it was nice to return to this cozy home with a creek out back, build a camp fire and look at the stars. Very relaxing!

This property was in such a beautiful location. We saw many deer during our stay. The teens enjoyed playing downstairs on the ping pong table. The creek outback had such beautiful views, especially during sunrise. Our family really enjoyed staying here. We look forward to hopefully renting again in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Heather Loftin

Host profile image
Our family wanted a place we could relax and enjoy a slower pace of life but still be within 30 minutes of everything we love. This will be a retirement home some day but for now we are happy to share this sweet little spot on the creek.

Why they chose this property

Lickskillet Creek is a swiftly moving creek about 5-6 feet wide and at it's deepest it comes up to around you knees. This is a sweet holler with good people and beautiful mountains.
