About this property

The fun house: fire pit, hot tub, fishing, pond, pizza oven & outdoor movie gear

You’re not looking for just any house; you’re looking for an experience for the whole group! Blackberry Springs will keep everyone entertained the entire vacation!

Got FISHERMEN? Enjoy fishing in the pond stocked with Blue Gill, Bass, and Catfish! If you can bring in our big catfish Mr. Whiskers you’ll enjoy a good fight, just make sure to throw him back! We provide all your fishing gear.

Prefer WATER SPORTS? Enjoy swimming in the pond, have swim races as you jump off the dock and swim to the center fountain. Float on provided inter tubes or bring all your fun inflatable toys (we have a machine to blow them all up). Or just lay back and catch rays as you float idly on the pond.

Do you love SMORES AND CAMPFIRES? Gather around the fire pit and enjoy a free s’mores charcuterie tray on us! Sing campfire songs. Tell scary stories. Or just become mesmerized by the flames as you enjoy the sound of the nearby waterfall on the property.

Why watch a movie inside when you can have an OUTDOOR MOVIE PARTY! We have an outdoor screen and projector so you can host a memorable movie night! Watch a scary show in the trees. Watch the big stars onscreen under a million stars. Brave sitting on a tube in the water as you watch Jaws. Have the kids build pillow forts on the grass and watch a family movie.

Host and EPIC GAME EVENT! We have horseshoes, cornhole, board games and a poker table! Late night gaming is a must!

Enjoy a unique dinner with an AUTHENTIC ITALIAN PIZZA OVEN! If you’ve never hosted a make your own gourmet pizza charcuterie event, you’re missing out! Supply all the pizza toppings you can think of (we love using unique things like honey, balsam vinegar, blackberries and lemons) and then let everyone make their own. Pizzas cook in 90 seconds in the pizza oven. Additionally Publix sells delicious pre-made pizza dough you can just stretch and assemble!

Enjoy OUTDOOR EATING? We have just the place for you! Perched overlooking the pond is an outdoor kitchen beneath a gazebo top. Use our Weber grill to prep dinner, or our large kitchen with two ovens and two fridges. We have everything you need in this chef’s stocked kitchen to host meals to remember.

If you can pull yourself away we have the following within a a 20 mile radius: zip lining, river rafting, horseback riding, hiking, biking, one of Americas best brewery scenes, hundreds of restaurants, Biltmore mansion, shopping, leading in fall, skiing in winter. We’re just

Beautiful Property
Amazing property with so much entertainment! The kids loved fishing and swimming in the pond. We also had a blast watching an outdoor movie and making pizza! Great house for a large group- served as a wonderful “base” for our family group while visiting Asheville for a wedding. House was VERY well-equipped with cooking supplies and towels- multiple washers & dryers- Truly a “home away from home.”

Thanksgiving
This place is amazing! We had a wonderful time over the Thanksgiving holiday. The house is fully equipped for anything! Chef's kitchen 2 ovens great cooking gear. The house is cozy and very comfortable to settle down with a book or a morning cup a coffee looking out the front windows. We will be back for sure. :)

Fantastic Vacation!
Everything about our stay was incredible. The owners and caretaker are extremely thoughtful and responsive. The house is beautiful and truly a home away from home. We loved the pigs and the chickens! My youngest son visited them several times a day, feeding them and interacting with them. We celebrated my wife’s birthday here, and the owners and caretaker went out of their way (balloons, cake, endless treats) making her feel special. We will always treasure the memories here!
