Bat Cave has 400 people, No RedLights, 2 Stop Signs, No Town, No Grocery Store (is 8 miles away) 2 Bridges & 1 Post Office.
Bat Cave is like the old Route 66 it was the Old Traders Trail in the 1800s from Asheville to Charlotte & Columbia until the Interstate system was developed. It had a Horse Exchange & the only drinking spot on the route. We are at the cross roads of 64, 74 & 9. A 2 lane nice paved road now.
This is truly a classic. This home was built back in the early 30's, and you will enjoy it's character. Was the first BAT CAVE POST OFFICE. 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!!

The Bruce and Marion were genuinely hospitable, and eager to help with anything. The property and hot tub were immaculate. Beds were comfortable and kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed for cooking and cleaning. Location is fabulous on the river, and a quick ride into the Chimney Rock community for a great lunch! Shopping in Hendersonville and at Biltmore Park made this a great spot for our retreat weekend!

We had a nice, relaxing holiday weekend. We needed sometime away and this was a great place to do that. We drove into Ashville and did some shopping. Got in the water and sadly lost our Golden's favorite ball; don't worry she got a new one and was happy again :-)
Owner response: I don't understand a rating of #4 these must be automatic computer read, SADLY lost the ball the River will take what you don't hold on to. Wish i could have saved it but i see them float by all the time. Ididn't see anything negative in this review. SORRY Bruce, Owner Operated

Staying at Bat Cave was a new experience for us. The house was the perfect vacation spot to keep us all entertained. We spent most of our time in the kitchen and on the back porch. Bruce and Marion could not have been more helpful. They are perfect for that business. I would highly recommend it!
Owner response:It was great having Beth, Robert & the boys enjoy the river and do a little (River Rock Art) that is still standing after a big rain & just relaxing in the river & Mtn. biking. Hope it was all we had promised. Bruce & Marion Owners

I found this place on VRBO while just browsing for a different type of vacation this year. We have always gone to the beach and I just wanted to try something different. My husband loves fishing and mountains...I did it for him as I really didn't think I would enjoy it a whole lot. Boy, was I wrong! I am in love with this place and these people! What character the house has! I only wish it could talk and share it's stories! I don't think I've ever felt more at home on vacation. The hot tub was wonderful, my 12 year old loved it..she now says she likes the mt.s more than the beach! She and her friend statyed in the river 80% of the time, the remaining 20% was spent in the hot tub. The den is like a cozy haven, so quiet and relaxing. Everyone saw the mink but me :o( maybe next trip. Didn't want to leave...but will definitely return!
Owner response: It is always a pleasure to meet and see new people have a great time enjoying the river & the peacefull area we have to offer! Hope to be neighbors soon! Thanks Again! Bruce & Marion

Perfect spot to relax and enjoy the beautiful sounds of the river. This much needed mini vacation gave us a very memorable and romantic trip before MP leaves to go overseas! We had an excellent time and enjoyed the peace and serenity of the river. Cabin was in great condition, very clean and very comfortable - Hot tub was amazing. Our two dogs had a blast in the river as did we. Highly recommended and very close to several amenities. Chimney rock and Lake Lure are just around the corner. Bruce & Marion were great to work with and provided excellent service. Thanks for the great memories - I am sure we will see you again soon!!
Owner response: It was an honor to be able to provide a getaway for anyone headed overseas that will provide services to protect our Country the U.S.A. Good Luck! Patrick. " We Thank You Now " Bruce & Marion Baker Owner Operated

This quaint mountain cabin was perfect for my wife and I, and our other couple friends. It was roomy and clean as a pin. Loved the game room and the hot tub was awesome. The owner was wonderful. We had few needs, but when we called Bruce he was right there every time to help. The cabin is strategically located to many spots to visit and see. The river right behind the cabin is beautiful and the sound affects are wonderful. We hated to leave and can easily recommend this cabin for any couple with or without kids. Thanks for the hospitality Bruce and sharing this wonderful cabin with us.
Owner response: It was great to see friends enjoy the cabin as much as they did, Hope you enjoyed the fishing. Thanks Again! Bruce & Marion Owners

Thank you Bruce and Marion for allowing us to experience your beautiful rental. Amazing views, super clean home, very accommodating. My husband and I came up with our two teen kids for spring break. Not having traveled to North Carolina in the past, Marion and Bruce were very helpful in guiding us to the many amazing places in the area to experience. Horseback riding in the mountains, river kayaking in Green River, climbing Chimney Rock, and relaxing on their back deck overlooking the river, sitting in an amazing hot tub. It just doesn't get any better. Thanks again!!!!
Owner response:It was a pleasure seeing Suzi Craig & the boys enjoying the raft in the river. I would also like to Thank You for leaving it so clean & the nice review. Thank You! Bruce & Marion

We came to Chimney Rock for our anniversary & decided to venture a little out of town to find a private romantic palce to stay. Just 2 miles up the road we found "The Bat Cave Cottages" & what an AMAZING find!!! It was everything we were looking for & more!! It is romantic, private, relaxing, clean, comfortable, beautifully decorated, luxurious, & FUN!! We truly enjoyed every minute we spent there! We relaxed in the hot tub checking out the views from the deck, snuggled & played board games near the fire, got in touch with our inner child in the game room, cooked a few yummy meals in the gourmet kitchen, & fell a sleep listening to the river. Bruce & Marion (the owners) are wonderful & kind people who made us feel right at home.This place has everything you need & want while on vacation! There is so much to see & do in that area that it makes "The Bat Cave Cottages" the PERFECT palce to celebrate any occasion, any season for couples, families, & friends!!!! We are already planning our next trip back!
Owner response:Thomas & Rena were a great young couple just trying to have an Affordable & Memoriable weekend, I think we fulfilled that for them & wish them the Best of Luck in what ever the future brings. Thank You! for picking *Bat Cave River Cottages* Bruce & Marion Owner Operated

Thanksgiving Weekend - Perfect

Review Submitted: 11/28/10
We spent an amazing Thanksgiving weekend on the River. We decided to prepare a complete Thanksgiving dinner and we did not want for anything. Bruce and Marion's home literally possessed everything one could possibly need or want to prepare a holiday meal! Furthermore, the home is centrally located, so we were able to enjoy an afternoon trip to Chimney Rock (I recommend the climb to Exclamation Point!) and a day trip to Asheville for shopping. The remaining days we spent lounging around the fireplace, hot tub and taking in the beautiful sounds of the rushing river. This is a true gem. Do not pass this up.
Owner response: Colette, Thanks for a great review i ask all renters to read them and it is always better to hear from a previous renter! Hope to see you again, Thank You! Bruce & Marion
