Restored Riverfront Cottage Escape- Chimney Rock

After Hurricane Helene swept through and left the area devastated, we’ve worked hard to rebuild our Riverfront Cottage-a cozy, updated retreat just minutes from Chimney Rock, Lake Lure, Hendersonville, and Asheville. While the backyard and deck were damaged, they’ve been lovingly restored, and the home is ready once again to welcome guests. Nestled beside a rushing river, this peaceful cabin sleeps four and offers the perfect place to relax, recharge, and support a community rising again.The spaceWelcome to the Riverfront CottageA place of quiet resilience, renewal, and rest by the waterWe are deeply grateful to welcome guests back to the Riverfront Cottage.Riverfront Cottage in Bat CavePeaceful, Restored Retreat on the WaterOur riverfront cottage in Bat Cave has been thoughtfully restored and is ready to welcome guests once again.

You will need to supply your own after the starter supply runs out. Summer Yard Maintenance: This Cottage does require routine yard maintenance throughout the spring, summer, and fall. I attempt to schedule this on days the Cottage is changing guests but it is not always possible. If yard maintenance ends up needing to occur during your stay, I will give you 24 hour notice. The service would never occur prior to 9 AM. If this is a concern, please let me know.Check in Time: 4:00 PMCheck Out Time: 10:00 AM.
