Bishops Retreat

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.

Wonderful home.
A group of 9 ladies stayed here for a retreat. It was perfect for us. There was a large gathering area for us to be together but enough space to spread out also. It is beautifully furnished and well appointed with amenities. Large kitchen and fantastic porch with a lovely view. We'll be back!

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.
