The cabin was very beautiful and accommodating. There was a really nice and functional kitchen with a variety of activities including bunches of games. The hot water was very surprising and lasting, possibly the best I’ve ever experienced in the mountains. The view was incredible and you can hear the creek from the cabin which was incredible at night. We were even able to watch the squirrels adventure close to the deck. I would certainly recommend an awd/ 4wd vehicle because of a steep and somewhat sharp turn towards the cabin. The one thing I would have enjoyed is if the rest of the windows had curtains/blinds for an added privacy but overall it was tucked just enough away for a personal oasis. We would certainly love to come again!!

We had a great stay in Bat Cave. It was the perfect location for us to travel between Chimney Rock and Gerton daily. The rooms were as described and just what we needed for 4 people to stay comfortably. We unfortunately didn't get to use alot of the amenities because the weather was bad or we were just too tired from our mission trip, but the place had a working kitchen, patios, fire pit and pool table that would have been amazing to use. The house is very big, complete with the laundry room, which we did use. Was a little hard to find. Had to have a local help us because GPS couldn't get us all the way there. Kenny is very responsive and easy to work with. A for the trip.

The cabin was just what we needed. It was quaint with plenty of room. We enjoyed the views. There was a burn ban in effect, so we missed the opportunity to enjoy a fire; but the fire pit area was very nice. We’d definitely stay again.

Thank you for sharing your home with my family. We enjoyed the views and the close proximity to the river. We didn’t utilize the fire pit area, but it looked very nice. The location is so close to numerous restaurants and shopping. Our favorite hangout was at Chimney Rock Brewery. We had a very quiet and peaceful stay.

Property was as advertised, clean and functional. Close to where we needed to be and in a very quiet area. We drive a two-weel drive Suburban and I did find the state-maintained access road to the property a bit difficult but functional. I would rent this property again.
