We were here from 11/23-11/26, over the Thanksgiving holidays. It was a special 40th birthday treat for me! The owners were very nice and accomodating. It was like a home away from home, but better. Chimney Rock and Lake Lure right down the street, and just a little drive away, and we were able to hit to see the beautiful Catawba Falls for Thanksgiving. We enjoyed the DirectTV for football, lounged in the hot tub every night, and relaxed in the cozy living room with the fireplace. Having the running river right outside the door was so tranquil, we even got to see an otter at play! This is definitely a wonderful place to stay. Thank you for the hospitality!!
Owner response:The Otter & Mink love to play in the swimming hole just below the rear deck by the waterfall & fork of 2 rivers. EVERY TIME i see them i think how BLESSED HUCK FINN was just laying on a river bank under a tree ( No fence to paint TODAY? ) Happy 40th! Bruce & Marion Owner Operated

We had a great time at Bruce and Marion's cabin. It was pretty chilly that weekend, so we took full advantage of the hot tub on the back deck, enjoying nature right from the nice warm hottub overlooking the river, even in the morning when the temp was in the 30's! We also enjoyed making our own little bonfires and roasting marshmallows at night. And we cooked out on the grill both nights! All these things you just can't do in a hotel or most rentals. The location was great, a short drive from Lake Lure (where we very much enjoyed the pizza and views at La Strada) and the shops at Chimney Rock(the ice cream place was really fun and nostalgic). Bruce and Marion were great and so hospitable! You can tell they've put so much work into this place, i.e. updated fixtures, granite countertops...Perfect for a couple or small family!
Owner response: We always enjoy hearing about renters enjoying a fire less than 2ft. from the river edge as they said you can't get that in a hotel room. Thanks for your review.

Thank you Bruce and Marion for your overwhelming hospitality. The pictures and listings were all that and more. We very much enjoyed the area and closness to everything we wanted or needed. The hot tub was awesome! Especially with a glass of wine. We would highly recommend this property to anyone who would like a romantic getaway.
Owner response:It was great to see Judy enjoy the River Raft & leave some River Rock Art on surrounding Boulders. Thanks for the nice review

My wife and I just spent two wonderful nights at Bruce and Marion's Bat Cave River Cottage - it was wonderful. The river was great to swim in, relax on, and pass out on the deck next to. Hot tub is perfect after a day hiking Chimney Rock. Really nice chairs on the deck. Super comfy Tempur-pedic mattress on the bed. Everything was great! It's also nice being a little bit out of the way from the center of Lake Lure and Chimney Rock - and it's still a really quick drive to both places. Definitely recommended!
Owner response:Bryan & Kira We are glad you enjoyed yourself Hope all the stops on the way home were as good, Thanks for the great review! Bruce & Marion

2nd time here this year. Stayed 2 weeks and will do the same next time we go.1 week is too short to truly get in the relax frame of mind. Owners are more like friends than a people you are doing business with. We can't wait to get back
Owner response:Ken & Linda It's always a pleasure to have friends back to enjoy the rear deck & just sit back & relax as a good vacation should be. Thanks for such good review, SEE YA next year. Thank You! Bruce & Marion Owners

My husband and I just spent the weekend at Bat Cave River Cottages for the first time and had an amazing experience! The cottage was clean and cozy, the hot tub was relaxing, the river was peaceful and the owners were beyond hospitable. We will definitely be returning to Bat Cave River Cottages for many years to come! Thanks Bruce and Marion for such a wonderful weekend!
Owner response:John & Megan were great they came to the Mtn's for the same reason we ended up here. Because of all the great twisting & rolling Highways & secluded off the beaten path areas. All i did was loan them a GPS with Roads & Waterfalls, There is a Diff. when Owner Operated and it show's. Thanks Again! Bruce & Marion Owner Operated
Recommended for:Romantic getaway.
