Rock face mountains with green quilt like surroundings, blue skies with white pillow clouds, boulders that sit at the mountain base and guide the rushing creek, winding roads that reveal lush surprises at every turn, waterfalls that pop out in unsuspecting crevices.
Welcome to Bat Cave!
As you turn onto Middle Fork Road more beauty awaits. A rushing creek flowing down the mountain, secret waterfalls that lead to the historic homestead as you cross the bridge to Sweet Water Cottage. A cottage hand-built from stone over 80 years ago. This newly restored home has an exterior of old Stone craftsmanship blended with an interior of modern amenities.
Sweet Water Cottage is a beautiful newly renovated home that has 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. All new modern appliances, fully stocked coffee station, washer/dryer, double oven, dishwasher, icemaker/ filtered water fridge. Each bathroom has its own unique luxury. Relax in the beautiful 70 soaking tub after a long hike or unwind in the Jack and Jill bath that displays the beauty of the exposed natural stone, complete with a walk-in tile shower. Bedrooms include the master which has a king adjustable bed with a remote wall fan, the classic twin bedroom, and a kids room that has a bunk with a twin over full. The kid's room is stocked with books, games, and its own TV/DVD. The front porch is the place to be for morning coffee, reading, or soaking in the sounds of Middle Fork Creek. Take a nap in the creekside hammock or just relax watching the water in the hammock chairs. The fire pit is a wonderful end of the day hang out, grilling steaks, roasting hotdogs or marshmallows. Be mesmerized by the fire while you allow the water sound to wash away any anxious thoughts. Be still and know that you are surrounded by so many fun activities that all you need to do is decide which one to do first.
Bat Cave is centrally located to so many interesting areas. You can easily explore Chimney Rock/ Chimney Rock State Park, Lake Lure, Hendersonville, Asheville, Black Mountain, Blue Ridge Parkway, Pisque National Forest.

    Our family needed a place to stay for the weekend for a wedding outside of Asheville, and this little cottage was perfect. Super cozy, well appointed, and the property is gorgeous. Our kids had a blast playing in the creek, and we all enjoyed exploring both the garden and the house itself. The kitchen is perfect for preparing family meals, and is very well equipped. The soaking tub was also a lovely bonus. The property manager was super responsive and helpful. We will be looking for excuses to come back for a longer stay.

    The property was clean and well stocked with cleaning supplies, pots and pans, TP, etc. They had thought of everything. Even had small towels at front door to wipe the dogs feet when entering. The house looked like it had been redone and was very comfortable.

    Our entire crew loved this place. It was hard to leave, and the kids are already asking when we can stay there again! Lindsey seemed to think of everything as a host. She was super responsive when needed. The outdoor space was unmatched....listening to the rush of water on the creek while napping in the hammock- relaxation at its finest. Ten out of ten recommend this place.

    My extended family and I stayed for a week. The house is as advertised. Easily accessible and close to many activities. Kids and adults loved the stream every afternoon as a great way to wind down. Loved our stay.

    This was our third stay at this property and we love it. It was the first time with our grandchildren and we had a blast. They loved playing in the stream, catching fireflies, making s’mores over the fire pit, and the PlayStation. We will definitely return!

    My only complaint is that the original listing has 'hot tub' as an amenity, and a large soaking bathtub is NOT a hot tub. This part of the listing should be changed. However, we spent a long weekend and the place was immaculate and we would absolutely love to visit again. The kitchen was very well stocked, the property is beautiful, and while I was disappointed there was not an actual hot tub, we did not miss it. The house is very close to downtown Chimney Rock, where we were able to find more than enough to do when the weather was nice. It was very easy for us to unwind for a few days for my wife's birthday and the host was so easy to work with. 10/10 would recommend this place!

    Our family stayed here while our daughter rode at Tryon. This is such a charming and unique house full of character. It's convenient to many main attractions, and we had a great time and a wonderful stay. The owner was very communicative and helpful throughout our trip. Thank you so much for providing us with a wonderful experience!
