Cozy stone Cottage Pet friendly on Rushing creek porch, soaking tub, & fire-pit

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. There is something for everyone from Hiking, Mtn biking, canoe or kayaking, sightseeing (Biltmore, Carl Sandburg home), shopping, gem mining, boat tours, water park/ beach(Lake Lure) fly fishing, creek play, Zip-Lining, horseback riding, snow tubing (Moonshine Mountain), Winery tours, Local Brewery, Distillery's, Massage and Spa's.
Adventure awaits! We have suggestions and a wealth of things to do here at the Sweet Water Cottage. I am here to help you make your mountain experience as enjoyable as possible! Thank you for considering our Mountain retreat.
If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to send and inquiry before making any bookings! Thank you

Fantastic Mountain Retreat

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.

Exceeded expectations

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.

Best Airbnb experience we've had (maybe ever?)

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!

We had a lovely time at this property. It was very well stocked and was just an amazing setting. My kids loved the creek and the property was close to many of the activities we wanted to do (30 min or less by car) but was also very private and secluded. So many great memories were made!

This place was amazing! My family and I truly enjoyed it. The location is perfect. We were able to get out into the fresh air and hike in Dupont Park and Chimney Rock. We also did some shopping and eating in Asheville and Hendersonville. At the end of each day we were excited to go back and spend the night in this beautiful, comfortable place. We have already started talking about the next time we want to stay here. Love it! Lindsey was great and very prompt with her communication.

Magical

We scheduled this trip for our anniversary and my birthday. However, we experienced loss the week before. Our stay turned into a weekend of grief. We could not have been supported and held in a better space to feel our sadness and experience connection, nourishment, and safety from the property and cottage alike. The consistent sounds of the creek were so regulating to our nervous systems and the design of the cottage felt like we were spending every moment in a warm hug disguised as a creekfront cottage. The feeling of the property is hard to describe, it's something you just need to experience. That sweetwater feeling!

We had such a great time at Lindsey’s Place! It was the sweetest little cabin and was exactly what we wanted. We just wanted to escape the fast pace of life and be in the woods for a few days and that’s just what we got! The cabin was very central to Asheville, Black Mountain and Chimney Rock. The sounds of the creek were amazing and it was nice and cool in the little valley. I really enjoyed sitting in the hammock and reading. If we ever come back to NC, we’ll definitely stay here again!

Perfect Fall Girls’ Weekend!

Stayed at this property for 3 nights in October. There were 3 of us, all in our 30’s and 1 dog. This was the perfect property for us! Lindsey truly thought of every creature comfort in this cottage, for us and our dog. We especially appreciated that the back porch is gated, and the provision of dog bowls, dog blankets, a crate, outdoor lead, and dog towels. The cottage was clean and cozy and all the labels on switches made it easy to get comfortable quickly. We had a little trouble with the padlock on the gate when we arrived, but Lindsey answered our call (at 9:00pm even) and talked us through getting it open. The location is great, just outside Chimney Rock Village and a reasonable distance to everything we wanted to do (Jeter Mountain Farm, Sierra Nevada, Shoji Spa, and some great hiking). The outdoor fire pit was well stocked with wood, fire starter logs, lighters, and tools. And the indoor gas fireplace was perfect for movie watching and chilly mornings. The bedrooms and bathrooms were clean, comfortable and well stocked, and we could have made a gourmet meal with everything provided in the kitchen. WiFi was great, which is especially important since cell service is spotty at best. All in all we loved our stay and only regret not getting to stay longer!

September trip

This is our first time staying here. We have been staying in the Henderson, Edneyville, Bat Cave area for about 8 years now. I was very impressed with this cabin. I love the area and the cabin was exactly what we want. All of the supplied movies, games and everything we need in the kitchen was awesome even though we didn't really need them since we really like to enjoy the outdoors. If I had one complaint, it is the power wires and the street being so close, but we overlooked that by the babbling stream flowing by. Thanks and we'll be there in October.
