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. Burnsville is the quintessential small town nestled in the foothills of Mount Mitchell, the highest peak east of the Mississippi. It is known for its artistic vibe and outdoor adventures. Its town square offers restaurants, local shops, galleries, antiques, and a lively brewery.
The space
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.
Guest access
-There is about an acre of flat yard to play in. There are some yard games/sports stuff in a storage building that guest may use.
-The laundry is in the basement.
Other things to note
Please note the rec room in the basement is not heated/cooled but does stay comfortable for a good part of the year.

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!

Multigenerational Getaway

We had a wonderful time with family at Lickskillet Creek!!! The location is very peaceful, yet conveniently located for hiking, shopping, antiquing, gem mining, etc! The hosts have thought of everything to make for a comfortable stay indoors and outdoors.

Absolute Perfection

My husband and I stayed for a long weekend Anniversary trip. The house is close enough to Asheville for activities but far enough away to enjoy quiet relaxation. The property itself is beautiful with the sound of the creek heard all the way to the front porch, where we enjoyed the view of the old barn and cows. The house was meticulously cleaned and the bed linens were heavenly. We had everything we needed and the decor was gorgeous. It literally felt like home away from home. We would definitely stay again!

Restful Retreat

We absolutely adored this place. It made it hard to leave. So many personal touches. We opted to stay in all weekend after a trip to the Biltmore because we just felt that cozy. The fire stove and hot tub absolutely were our highlights but there’s the creek, record player, and comfy beds. Heather gave us so much peace of mind with well thought out instructions and everything stocked well. We never even needed to contact her. We can’t thank you enough and will definitely want to be back. I totally understand the glowing reviews.

Thumbs up!

This is a great place to stay, just a few miles off US19E.Very comfortable, nicely decorated.We loved sitting near the creek and cooking s'mores in the firepit.There are beautiful views from the house.Many hiking trails in the area are still closed, due to damage from Helene. But it's an easy drive to the Laurel River trail (we recommend it) or to Asheville.

An AMAZING spring break!

I stayed here with my husband and my two kids, ages 11 and 15. They LOVED the hot tub and the ping pong table. If I had to pick one word to describe the home it would be “thoughtful”. From the little notes all over the house to help the guests to the QR codes for directions on how to work the temperature control and the record player, nothing was overlooked. Everything was extremely clean and well maintained. The views were breathtaking from the home and we loved watching the cows, deer, and turkeys We enjoyed eating at the Snapdragon and drinking (and more eating!) at Home Place Brewery. There were a few gift shops near the restaurant where we grabbed souvenirs. All in all, a wonderful getaway!

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.

Turkeys, cows, and fireflies, oh my!

We loved our stay at this peaceful mountain home! Heather has created such a wonderful home away from home. Comfortably decorated with notes to answer your every question. The hot tub was amazing after long days of exploring western North Carolina. We so enjoyed the valley view. The cows and fireflies were entertaining in the evenings and turkeys dotted the hills in the mornings. The kitchen and bathrooms had everything we needed. We had fun with the basement games. The creek was so relaxing! Easy check in and check the out! Would definitely recommend!
