Bat cave cottage

We had a great time here. It was convenient to many of the places we wanted to go. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch. The cottage was very spacious and bed was comfortable.

Perfect Dainty Oasis!

This cottage was the perfect get away for our family of 5, and our children’s ages of 20, 17, and 12. Very clean and welcoming. We enjoyed it so much that most nights instead of eating out, our kids even wanted to go back and cook and “hang out at the house.” We even took advantage of the fire pit a couple of nights. The games that were supplied were a huge hit! Specifically, table tennis. :)The house is in a great location as well! While there, we visited Chimney Rock, The Biltmore Estate, and Lake Lure- all within a short driving distance. We highly recommend this cottage for those seeking relaxation, making memories that will last, and perhaps, a sweet view of a mama turkey with her 6 babies;)

Blissful quiet charm!

Though we try to come up to NC from FL for a week each fall, this year's visit felt especially needed to reconnect and regroup as a family after hurricane Ian. The cabin was truly charming, blissfully quiet, removed from chaos but not too far from civilization. The beds and linens were really comfortable, the kitchen was well equipped, the sunroom was a gem, and the whole place felt snug and cozy despite two crisp 28⁰ mornings. My boys especially loved rock-hopping along the creek. My husband was able to remote work and the kids and I streamed our lessons on the TV (we homeschool) with complete ease thanks to sufficient available wifi. Cheers to Sarah, John and Phoebe and their beautiful haven!
