Romance is in the air LARGE REAR DECK with 6 Person HOT TUB just above the river with Trillion $ views & a Fire Place to snuggle in Front of for Late Night. Memories for all!!

This is truly a classic. This home was built back in the early 30's, and you will enjoy it's character. With a newly modern kitchen featuring granite counter tops and all modern ammenities. We also kept the old time feeling in the home which allows you to get back to the good life that is easy, relaxing and peaceful. The complete inside of the home has rough cut pine boards on all ceilings and walls just as it was when it was built so long ago.

Seating on the private back deck accommodates up to 12 people, and makes for a lot of fun. The 6 person hot tub was installed April of 2008 on the deck just above the river.

You sleep at night with the peacefulness of the flowing river and the 4 foot waterfall right behind the home. 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 1/8th of a mile north and 1/0th of a mile south, you are sure to enjoy the catch of the day, hopfully 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 & Try SKIING on the river in your back yard??
ASK about IT!!

    • A huge thanks to Bruce and Marion for providing such a wonderful place to stay in Bat Cave! Your quaint cottage on the Rocky Broad River was the perfect base of operations for our visit to North Carolina with Marc and Nancy Trowbridge from Houston. Although the rain prevented us from getting in a second round of golf and going to Chimney Rock, we thoroughly enjoyed exploring the area with trips to Biltmore House, Hendersonville, Downtown Asheville and the Blue Ridge Parkway. Thanks again for fixing the hot tub so quickly. We enjoyed that, too!

      Homeowner Response:
      Steve called said the Hot Tub wasn't HOT ( Had it fixed in 20 Min.! THANKS DAD for all you taught me!!

    • What a great time our family had at your place!. Bruce and Marion, you are both the best. You helped make our week (7/19-7/26) so much fun. The grandsons had just a great time in the river fishing, looking for minnows and whatever else they could find but they really had a blast tubbing and river skiing with Bruce. They are still talking about everything and how much fun they had with you. Thanks again for sharing your home with us. We all can't wait until we visit with you again! Love to you both! Barbara, Mike, Steph, Tony, Casey, Landon and Ryder

    • Once again had a blast....stayed in the downstairs apartment the first time and the 4 bedroom this time. Both are super nice and clean. Also had a great time riding the Pisgah Forest and the Blue Ridge Parkway with Bruce and Marion Knieval. "Big Chief" was not real "excited" to see us though. Once again thanks a bunch and we will be back. Oh yeah Mrs Marion please let me know how the infamous river ski works out.

      Homeowner Response:
      We have enjoyed Martin and Sherri as much as they have enjoyed staying and being with us. We had a great time riding, as always, and love showing the great places that are around us here in the mountains. Once Bruce gets the "hang" of sking on the river we will shot you a picture to prove he is capable of sking the Rocky Broad River. We had a blast and look forward to the next stay and time together. Thanks for your friendship and time together, and your choice of staying with us. Bruce and Marion

    • My wife and I needed a break from the hustle and bustle of work and this was the perfect place for us. The view of the river was amazing. Bruce and Marion were wonderful hosts who thought of everything you might need. We can't wait to stay again!

    • My husband and I have a one month old baby and needed some rest and relaxation with him. We got it!!!! We drank coffee on the back porch in the morning and had a glass of wine in the hot tub at night, all while the baby slept. It was an added bonus to see a light dusting of snow on the river rocks one of the mornings we stayed. Our son stayed warm and cozy in the pack-n-play (with changing table) the owners let us borrow. They were wonderful and treated us like family. We were able to find activities that will entertain our son at every stage in his life...playing in the river, hiking, the water park, and Biltmore. We will be back soon. Thank you Bruce and Marion for helping two new parents get the rest and relaxation we needed!!!

    • We really enjoyed staying on the river--what a great deck! Sleeping to the sound of the river rushing by was incredibly peaceful. This house really feels like a home away from home, with Marion & Bruce your best friends next door!! We had a great time there, we will most certainly be back as soon as we can.

    • We had a great time on Labor Day weekend. Always wondered what you found if you took the I-26 exit to Bat Cave. Well, we found a really nice cabin on the river with great hosts. And the kids had a great line for where they spent Labor Day weekend. "Bat Cave." ... thanks, Bruce and Marion ... the Campbells
