After a day of fun come home to a lavishly furnished cabin with incredible outdoor space to enjoy. Climb the waterfall beside the house to see an enchanted fairy tree stump, surrounded by wildflowers, ferns and birds. Play in the mountain stream and catch fish or crawdads. Read and enjoy the views on the front porch swing. As evening falls, head to the waterfall deck to relax in the hot tub overlooking the waterfall, light up the grill in the yard, have a beer on the back deck while enjoying amazing river views, nap in the hammock overlooking the river, do yoga on the deck over the waterfall, roast marshmallows in the custom stone fire pit under the clear and starry mountain sky! No matter what your preferred way of relaxing is, we have you covered! Stay long enough and you can enjoy them all. The children's room is full of so many games, toys, movies, books, art supplies, etc. that they will entertain themselves for hours, allowing adults some time to relax. Enjoy hiking, kayaking, canoeing, swimming, fishing, apple picking, dining out, zip lining, horseback riding, golfing, antiquing, brewery tours, pontoon boat tours, a working farm tour, barn dancing, an Amish store, fresh cheese from a goat farm, mountain biking, motorcycle riding, gem mining, a winery tour or dining out ALL within minutes from this centrally located home nestled between Asheville, Hendersonville, Chimney Rock, Lake Lure, Blue Ridge Parkway, Black Mountain, DuPont and Pisgah Forests.

Another great way to enjoy the outdoors is a guided bass fishing adventure on beautiful Lake Lure. Carolina Trophy Bass Guides offers 1/2 day and full day trips. Contact Mark Cook at 828-329-3517 or check out their web page at https://carolinastrophybassguides.com/tours

The house is very well stocked (toiletries, paper products, linens, etc) so you can pack lightly! We know planning a vacation in a region with so many offerings can be overwhelming, so we provide all guests a list of top recommendations for things to do during your stay. I am also happy to help you with specific questions you may have and to provide recommendations based on your individual needs/preferences. I pride myself on helping guests with any support/needs they have planning their trip. We also stock materials from the Visitor's Center, so planning your stay is made even easier.

*Note* There are 50 wooden stairs to access the bottom level of the cabin. Guests can either enter through the bottom door into the master bedroom, which requires a flight of stairs inside to ascend to the main floor, or continue up to the main entrace up stone stairs. There is no accessibility for those who cannot make the climb.

*Security camera facing road.

Thank you for reading to the end.

Mountain Paradise!
My husband and I had such a magnifcent stay at Hollee's property! The property was impeccable and was the getaway we so much needed. The location was perfect (close enough to the small towns, hiking trails, etc., yet far enough to make feel you are escaping the hustle and bustle of life). Waking up to the sounds of birds chirping and the babbling brook was so serene. Truly a mountain paradise where you can simply escape. Hollee thought of everything in making this the perfect stay, and she was a wonderful and responsive host. Look so forward to being able to return and would highly recommend this property. Thanks so much, Hollee, for a perfect getaway!

Relaxing getaway
My wife and I actually won an overnight stay and to say we were impressed is an understatement. The cabin was cozy, and the hot tub was the perfect place to unwind after a long day of hiking at Chimney Rock. We cant wait to book our next trip as paying customers

Peaceful Retreat
Loved the property. There is a very nice and well kept outdoor area with a small grill, firepit, hot tub, and picnic table. We ate outside every evening and relaxed in the hot tub. I loved the small touches by the host with good quality paper towels, small areas for toiletries. The lighting outside was also a nice touch. The bedding was very comfortable as well.

About the host

Hosted by Hollee Ferrara

Host profile image
This is us, our crazy family of 4 who fell in love with a mountain cabin that we stayed in 3 years ago and bought it! We live in Pittsboro, North Carolina, about 3.5 hours east of this cabin. We enjoy visiting when it isn't booked solid, and our boys love having a home away from home to become mountain kids.

This house has become such a special place to us, from our first visit, to becoming owners, getting engaged here, and then married under the pergola next to the waterfall.

Why they chose this property

What?? I only have 2000 words to encapsulate why THIS property is so amazing?

I was first a guest at this amazing cabin in 2019. I fell IN LOVE with the aesthetic, location, and the waterfall. My partner, Ray, and I left dreaming of someday owning something as amazing. We had no idea what life would have in store for us.


When we visited, I was in awe of this breathtaking mountain cottage perched on the side of the mountain, surrounded by water, AND in such close proximity to Asheville, Hendersonville, Lake Lure and Chimney Rock. After leaving, at least monthly we talked about how amazing this place that we affectionately referred to as 'The Bat Cave' was and reminisced over the elements we would want to include in our future home.

We reached out on a whim to the former owner, Melissa- you will see her name on this page often, from prior reviews to our conversations and you may even get lucky enough to interact with her as our property manager from time to time. I can't erase her because she is such an integral part of this retreat.

Melissa bought the house in a state that can only be described as SHAMBLES! It was a dilapidated shell at that point. No plumbing, electrical, flooring. No kitchen. Nothing. But it was IN THIS MAGICAL SPOT! Surrounded by trees, birds, wildflowers, a trickling waterfall, and a rushing river. Melissa and her son Cole made it their mission to rehabilitate the empty shell and make it their dream home, where so many others fell in love with it, including myself.

We hope you will enjoy the magic of this place as much as we have and understand why it was a place that we couldn't stop dreaming of for years until we finally made it a reality.

What makes this property unique

In a nutshell, it's the ABUNDANCE of things to do within a few miles (hike, bike, fish, canoe, shop etc), combined with a luxurious retreat while at the house relaxing and enjoying the water features.

Several miles down the road towards Asheville on Hwy 74 (let me point out that this gorgeous section of road is a NC Scenic Bypass), lies Hickory Nut Gap Farms. You can get local grass fed beef & seasonal vegetables. They also have a barn play area for kids and a horse farm if you enjoy riding. Go several miles further and you are in Fairview, where you can visit a local creamery if you love fresh cheese, or a country Amish store. A few miles further puts you in Asheville... Where there is more to do than you will ever have time to do! If you had traveled a few miles in the opposite direction on Hwy 74, there is Chimney Rock. The park is amazing and offers some of the best views of the area, as well as Medina's Bistro, our local favorite. Their biscuits and gravy, and AMAZING homemade cinnamon rolls, are amazing! A mile further and you are in Lake Lure, with a waterpark and beach, also offering boat rentals. Or cut across on Hwy 64 (only a few miles back) and you will head into Hendersonville, another great little town. This is truly the ideal location!

Do you like hiking? You wouldn't believe how many hiking trails there are in this area, including the many off the Blue Ridge Parkway. Have you heard of DuPont State Forest and its amazing waterfalls, as seen in the Hunger Games? Sliding Rock? Look it up! And PLEASE look up Asheville, Lake Lure, Hendersonville, Black Mountain, Brevard, etc. before visiting. There are so many things to do! The surrounding areas are ALL wonderful!
