About this cabin rental
Situated in Bat Cave, this lovely cabin for $134 per night is a fantastic option for your next break. No Pets MOUNTAIN AND RIVER VIEWS ~ GREAT LOCATION TO HEAD IN ANY DIRECTION Southfork Cottage is conveniently located! Have plans to go to Biltmore? Want to spend a day at Chimney Rock State Park or the beach at Lake Lure? Looking to scout out some waterfalls? Want to shop in downtown Hendersonville? Excited to eat ice cream in Black Mountain? South Fork is a great little cottage to be your landing spot. It offers a comfortable stay in a very central location. This view has been described as "...fun, beautiful, peaceful, and stimulating all simultaneously!" Offering two bedrooms and two baths. The upstairs bedroom has a set of twin bunk beds and a bathroom, a kitchen, a living room, and a fabulous deck. The downstairs has an open bedroom, a private bathroom, and a laundry area. The lower level and lower level deck are both slightly lower than standard ceiling heights. This small cottage was built long ago, but a recent remodel has made it very modern and simplistic. It's a stylish little property that is perfect for up to four people. There's parking for one vehicle, and from the parking area, it is approximately a 50-foot walk to the home. A modern, stylish appeal and a nice upper deck with super cool views are the main draws to this property. For All Seasons This home can be enjoyed throughout the year with the area's temperate climate and beauty. Springtime brings the blooming of the dogwood and redbud trees as well as the azaleas, rhododendrons, and mountain laurels. Summer brings lush greenery, and the autumn colors are extraordinary. Winters are mild, and with less tree obstruction, the views are incredible. Add the year-round sounds of the Rocky Broad River, and you have peaceful perfection! The Lake Lure/Chimney Rock area and surrounding communities offer several entertainment and activity options. See the Amenities and Notes for just a sampling of what is available. Just pack your clothes, pick up some groceries, and then sit back, relax, and enjoy all this area and Southfork Cottage has to offer. We hope to see you soon and welcome you to be our guest!

The property as a whole was very clean and prepared appropriatelt for oir arrival. There was a minor issue with one of the bathroom's drains but that was corrected very quickly (and since there are two bathrooms there was no inconveniences at all). Highly recommend!!

The property was nicely decorated. However it was dirty, had bugs, and a smell of mold and must.

We liked the place overall. However, it was difficult for getting from our parking spot to the cabin. Very difficult if you have bad knees. Also there basically was very few channels on the TV. Unless there was some hidden secret on how to get the TV to actually work.

An absolutely adorable little mountain escape. Very clean. Perfect views for lazy mornings with a cup of coffee. The drive is a bit intimidating but the calm cozy feel is absolutely worth it. Nobody wanted to leave.

We visited during a rainy weekend and it was exactly what our family needed to escape for a few days. The cabin was big enough for us and in a great location. Good food options, short drive to anything you'd need but far enough out to really get away. Great stay and would come here again!

This place is beautiful, on a hill above a river, and the bed and cooking equipment is nice. One thing to note is that the driveway is very steep, so your car may have a tough time turning onto it.

We loved this place. However, don't depend on your phone for directions to get there or for check-in procedures. PRINT EVERYTHING BEFORE YOU GO LOL. There is no cell service starting about 20miles prior to getting there. But the views are stunning, the place is comfortable, and clean. We would definitely go again.

Pros:
We very much enjoyed our stay here. The kitchen was well equipped for a rainy weekend. We did a fair amount of cooking. The porch has a lovely view of of some rocky cliffs. The interior is well decorated and has a cozy feel. The vibe is excellent for a mountain getaway, and the price is great! We would stay here again!
Cons: The satellite internet barely works most of the time but our phones did end up working fairly well. I think the satellite dish needs to be replaced or repositioned. The main bed needs some maintenance (but rickety) and isn’t super comfortable. As mentioned the kitchen has most everything you’d need except a cutting board!

My wife and I had a fantastic time, everything was perfect and the location was perfect! . If you’re thinking of making a reservation definitely check out Point Lookout Vineyards, a quick drive and the view is magnificent!

The cottage was very nice, with all of the amenities. There were two great decks for relaxing after a long day of site seeing. We were not prepared for the terrain of Bat Cave Rd, but it added a bit of adventure each time we arrived or departed the cottage. It was a great experience.

Beautiful views
We enjoyed the view from the porches. The house was perfect for our family of 4. All appliances worked well and we had no issues during our stay. The parking situation was tight, we have a truck and the house next door was occupied leaving our spot right at the edge of a steep drop. We enjoyed being so close to the Village and Park for Chimney Rock. We left measuring spoons/cups and a collander which were missing and we needed them for cooking meals. Would stay here again in the future.

Nice and clean with beautiful views. Driveway up to cabin was a little dicey but okay. Would suggest having an iron and ironing board. Also with intermittent internet/satellite, would suggest a DVD player to have on hand

This cosy little cabin was perfect for myself and my friend, it was clean and tidy and had pretty much everything we needed. There was no power to the oven, only the stovetop when we were there but everything else worked.
There is a steep single lane track up to the cabin which was a little scary at nighttime. It was within easy driving distance of everything we wanted to visit and chimney rock can be seen from the upper deck.

Overall ok property nicely situated on a mountain slope surrounded by old trees with the view of a road, stream and mountains. Two story small house has big wooden decks on both levels, making it very enjoyable to rest there and watch views. Few things were not mentioned in initial property review: it is very close to main road, construction trucks during morning week days hours and bikes during weekend are noisy and heard laud inside. A lot of critters, bugs, crawlers getting inside through some mysterious ways crawling especially on the lower level of the property, a lot of dead ones laying in the corners of windows and walls. Every day I was killing at least a few long crawlers in between my bed and restroom. Nasty. One more negative: when we arrived whole house was smelling like a cleaning closet where someone has spilled cleaning supplies. The smell was very strong , mixed with natural moisture of an old house in the woods, forced us to open all windows for 2 days to get rid of it. Luckily it got away. We liked it anyway.

Everything was clean. And it was a nice location.

We enjoyed our stay, my family of four and two small dogs. However, I wouldn’t recommend for small dogs due to how steep the location is -there isn’t a lot of space for dogs to potty outside. Beds were not that comfortable. This place is very close to downtown chimney rock with a few good eating options, but close around 9! The trip to Asheville from here was winding, so it takes a little longer. The owners of the house before this one were very nice. Overall, we were pleased!

Due to the rocks around entrance and steep dop-off, I don’t recommend it for small children or persons with disabilities. The driveway entrance is in a sharp curve so watch for traffic both ways! Convenient to all we wanted to do.

Awesome Location - Cute Cabin
We stayed at this property for Labor Day Weekend and we had a blast! The cabin was perfect for our family, conveniently located near Chimney Rock, and the balcony patio was lovely overlooking Chimney Rock.
We enjoyed hiking all day and then coming home to this cute cabin to make and enjoy a home cooked meal and watch Netflix.
The cabin has internet and Roku, which was perfect after hiking all day!
We highly recommend staying in Bat Cave in this cute cabin retreat.
