Private! Hot Tubs, Massage Chairs, White Water River 10 FT away Large Decks

The “True Early 30’s classic cottage with character. Historically captured as the first “BAT CAVE POST OFFICE” now equipped with newly modern amenities, and still possessing the old time feeling of easy, relaxation, and tranquility.

You sleep at night with the peacefulness of the flowing river and the 4 foot waterfall right behind the home below the deck. The view is breath taking in all directions.

Trout fishing is a lot of fun with a river stocking taking place once a week. Only 100 yards down stream and 1/4 mile upstream you are sure to enjoy the catch of the day, hopefully for all to see. Personal steps that lead to the river are for our guests with the brand new decks on each level. We recommend water shoes for everyone to wear.

Come, sit and relax by reading a book or watching all the wildlife here.

We invite you to come and relax and enjoy the beauty of the NC Mountains.
And enjoy our own little water park !

Lovely quiet stay
Our family enjoyed our weekend away at Bruce’s place! The hot tub and massage chair was wonderful after a long day of hiking. Quick drive to hiking and mtb trails, groceries and restaurants. Enjoyed the location on the creek as well.

Nice thanksgiving!
We went for thanksgiving. Family had a great time. Plenty of room for everyone. Bruce was great and allowed for our dog to come last minute even. Very accommodating. The kitchen was super well stocked and made thanksgiving cooking easy! Hot tub was great after a big meal! Place was very clean!!! The stairway light didn’t work, so that was a little scary. It’s a dark steep staircase! And the gas fireplace in the living room didn’t work. We’d recommend. Nice place and sleep with the window open to hear the river! Nice little touch! ;)

Quaint cottage in a great location
The cottage was rustic and charming. The location was great, just a short drive to Chimney Rock and Lake Lure. The river running through the backyard was heavenly. The host was responsive and accessible. Definitely would recommend!

Perfect tubing place!
We loved being right on the river it was the perfect spot to float along the river. People have complained that this property is right on the road but if you’ve ever driven through that area you know the river is close to the road so of course the houses will be even closer to the road. The place is cute with an updated kitchen, the house is old but well taken care of. The only thing we didn’t like were the ring cameras on all the posts outside our door, it just felt a little creepy like we were always being watched & the communication with the owner was strange, he was quick responding which was great but his texts just seemed rude. I don’t know if that was intentional. Over all it was the perfect spot for us.

Best review of the river !
This property is a delight ! The view is breathtaking. We enjoyed coffee on the balcony as well as watching the sunset . We spent so much time just staring at the view . There was plenty of room for kids and the river was so much fun ! This property is in one of the best locations in Bat cave . The owner communicates promptly and is very kind . We all took turns in the massage chair which was a huge hit . This is a rustic cabin , with a new washer dryer and dishwasher . We ate most of our meals there and it was very convenient to wash out swim suits , clean up after meals . There is a hose right when you come up from the stream so you can wash up and leave water shoes outside . I would stay here again . Great experience ! Very close to chimney rock and grandads apples !

The disappointment
There was a reason the front of house wasn’t in pictures. The house was right on the road with fast moving cars not good with young kids. River had been lowered so no fishing. Floors very dirty. Bathroom was black in a lot of areas. No extra blankets, and we were told we could use futon or roll away bed. Sheets were old and stretched out and didn’t fit beds. Though the mattresses were probably great when new, unfortunately mattresses were old. Internet, though listed as fast, does no go if the internet is off and on. The tv had no real stations to watch. The deck door was so heavy and difficult to open or close. Oven very dirty. When power went out there were no flashlights. The owner brought candles. He had no idea fire frightens me due to childhood. All the bedrooms upstairs. I didn’t spot that on listing. Not great for handicapped. There was a list of things to do before leaving. I was told it was over 15 years old and don’t bother with it. Why is the list there then. There was no mop to clean floors. There was no cleaning products to was floors anyways. We left a day early. That added to the cost I do not feel this place was honestly represented. It was not worth the price.

Awesome host, great location, very clean
This cottage is clean inside and out and is also located very near Chimney Rock and Lake Lure. Deck area has a nice table and good seating which overlooks a rushing river, with interesting wildlife and nice view. There is also a hot tub. Grill on the deck is so clean it looks practically new and we enjoyed using it! Kitchen is also very well equipped with everything you need. Bruce dropped by shortly after we arrived. He let us know he lives very near if we needed anything. After that, he sent a text once in a while if he was going somewhere out of cellphone range, but he was always very respectful of our privacy. We had the house to ourselves for the entire stay. The morning of check out, my car would not start. He was so kind, and tried to jump start the car for us, but it didn’t work. He invited us to go back inside the air conditioned cottage to wait for a tow truck. It was a hot day, and a long wait. We are so grateful to him for his kindness and good conversation that day. But I must be honest. This is an older cottage that sits close to a highway. I was worried about that at first, but you rarely hear highway noise inside. It was built perhaps in the 1940’s or earlier? and the walls are thick rough hewn wood. It has been renovated to update bathrooms, kitchen, deck, add a hot tub, etc. so it is a mix of old and new. This is not a fancy place, but it is a great spot if you want a peaceful place on the river to visit with old friends. We truly enjoyed our stay.
