About Us

The Lake House

Bull Creek Ranch is owned and operated by Suzanne and Ron Gustafson, along with their beloved pets. Feel free to give us a call if you have any questions or would like to set up an appointment to visit us.

Ron and Suzanne have lived at Bull Creek Ranch for 17 years, enjoying the rustic beauty of the valley and the people who inhabit and visit it.

Suzanne says, "Now more than ever, we have grown to appreciate the nature and spirit of these mountains, and all the treasures they hold for us in fruit, gardens, rock, and history."

The Ranch

Surrounded by the historic Blue Ridge Parkway, Bull Creek Ranch is nestled in the mountains of western North Carolina. The surrounding valley was once roamed by buffalo, and was the only mail route across the mountain to Weaverville and Hot Springs.

Once known for it's quality 'shine & sang' (local lingo for moonshine and gensign), the Ranch is rich in history and beauty. The Lake House was built on the "Old Burnette Place", which was around 150 years ago, and was even used by the builders of the Blue Ridge Parkway.

The spring-fed lake is pristine, clear, and cold year-round, and serves the Riceville Fire Department and surrounding community as a water source.
