Step inside this grand home and you'll feel right at home! This charming, cabin-inspired haven is perfect for coming together and relaxing, especially if you're in the mood for sitting around the firepit. The flagstone patio might be your favorite place to be - though there's also always room around the indoor gas fireplace. So many comfortable spaces fill this home, with so many spots for everyone to settle in together. Take in gorgeous lake and mountain views from the living room's window seat. The nearby full kitchen is outfitted for any chef, featuring a special coffee station, a double oven, and a prep island that doubles as a table for casual meals. The lounge on the lowest floor is the perfect place for a game night, and the second full kitchen downstairs will keep snacks and beverages coming all night. The luxuries keep coming inside the bedrooms, where guests can enjoy curated decor and comfortable beds. The main bedroom of the home includes a personal library available for guest use, in addition to an ensuite bathroom featuring both a stone standalone shower and a soaking tub. Guests of this home will be close to numerous outdoor attractions, from Mount Pisgah to the Biltmore Estate. But you'll always have a great base to return to at this home.

Absolutely loved our stay here! Such great gathering areas inside and outside of the home. The location was superb. We loved walking the trails around the lake as well as just enjoying the gorgeous view. This stay was a sibling gathering, something we’ve done for many years in different locations. Everyone agreed this was our favorite stay to date.

House and location wonderful. On arrival it took us over an hour to get electronic door lock to unlock. My call to Vacasa for assistance was useless. The rug under dining table is a trip hazard. We love house and location and plan to stay again next year. Thank you.

Bishops Retreat

This was our second visit and we enjoyed the beautiful house and setting. However, as we are 4 older ladies in our 70’s we have decided to stay elsewhere next year because of the steep slope of the driveway. We had trouble being able to get up the driveway after pleasant walks around the lake.

Family Wedding weekend

We got married in the chapel and one family stayed for the weekend and then we stayed a couple of extra days to relax. We loved the space and layout and view. We made some great pictures at the house and front porch before the ceremony. The house was perfect for us!

Wonderful!

This was a wonderful house for our yearly trip with four old friends. The house is beautiful, extremely clean and comfortable. The kitchen is very well stocked and a joy to cook in. But, our most favorite feature of the house is the wonderful covered porch where we could sit, relax, and watch the parade of people, dogs, and wildlife as they made their way around the lake shore path!

1st Family Mountain Trip

The location was perfect. We loved the 2 story cabin home. Everything was profided down to the forks and spoons. Gas stove. We absolutely loved. Plenty of room for 12 of my family members. Home was warm, nice and cozy. They only thing we disappointing, was the lake. We brung along fishing equipment and the lake was drained. I was worried when we arrived because we was unaware and had never seen anything like that before. A bit scary. I'm glad the lake will be filled with water by April for Easter. We shall make plans to return and catch some fish next time.

Beautiful home. There were 13 of us! 3 were 90 years plus! Great home for 3 generations to stay in. It had everything we needed. The view is worth a million dollars. A well cared for home.

Lovely bungalow

No one told us the lake would be drained. So paying a premium to be on the water then arrive to a smelly, muddy dry mess was very disappointing. I wish so much someone would have let me know that was going to be the case. I would not have rented the property.

A beautiful home with an amazing view of the lake and the mountains. Very well stocked kitchen; lovely bedrooms; large open area for kitchen, dining and living rooms. The window seat in the living room was my favorite spot! Will definitely return here.
