About this property
The Big Creek Lodge Pisgah
Tranquil getaway in the middle of the Pisgah National Forest.
Experience a secluded retreat within Pisgah National Forest near the North Mills River Recreation Area. Pisgah is a world-class destination with a vast array of recreational amenities including hiking/biking trails, climbing, fly fishing, backpacking, birding and more. Big Creek Lodge is within 30 minutes to downtown Asheville and Brevard and all accompanying breweries and restaurants, in addition to numerous other destinations in Western North Carolina.
The space
The Lodge offers visitors a private haven in Pisgah National Forest and includes 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms on over 6 acres. Enjoy a large screened-in front porch that overlooks a private pond, as well as the phenomenal views of the forest and surrounding recreation area. The property features direct access to the Mills River and Rocky Fork Creek for fishing and exploring and includes trail access right out the front door to the North Mills River and Trace Ridge Trails to connect to hundreds of miles of singletrack for hiking and mountain biking.

Common Areas
Big Creek Lodge features a stone-stacked fire place and warm, inviting surroundings to relax after a day of playing outside. The front porch is a highlight of the property and offers a relaxing and comfortable environment to take in the sights and sounds of the national forest. Enjoy an outdoor firepit near the Rocky Fork with bridge access to the creek itself and picnic areas scattered around the property. Additional amenities include a living room television (used for dvd player only), fishing equipment, games and extremely limited satellite WiFi accessibility throughout the home.
Kitchen/Dining
Enjoy a full kitchen with ample prep and storage space and plenty of space for entertaining with seating for six. The space features direct access to the expansive property behind the home, a gas grill located at the rear entrance and a mud room for convenience when returning indoors, including washer/dryer, full sink and storage.
Connectivity and Other Amenities
Big Creek Lodge features satellite broadband and, as such, will have limitations on streaming access and large file downloads. Cell service may be limited due to the unique location of the property within the National Forest. The property is approx. 30 minutes from downtown Asheville, 20 minutes from the Biltmore Estate and 15 minutes from Sierra Nevada Brewing/AVL Airport. There is an Ingles grocery store 10 minutes away, in addition to many restaurants, breweries and other destinations in the Mills River area. Parking is available for up to 4 vehicles.
