Rocky River Retreat - Pet Friendly, Riverfront!

Rocky River Retreat - Peaceful Riverfront Cottage Close To Bat Cave and Chimney Rock!

Imagine spending a week or a weekend sitting next to the Rocky Broad River and yet being minutes from Bat Cave, Chimney Rock, and Lake Lure Lake, North Carolina. The cottage is 4.5 miles to the Beach at Lake Lure, 4.2 miles to Chimney Rock State Park, 22.5 miles to Asheville, and 23 miles to the Tryon International Equestrian Center (TIEC). Built right at the river's edge, Rocky River Retreat has plenty of appeal for an escape getaway.

Picture yourself enjoying the sounds of nature (four-legged family members welcome) and listening to the rushing water steps away. This is the perfect spot for your morning coffee or tea. You may want to jump into the river to play or to cool off.

Basic but functional
It is basic but functional, offering Internet for needed work hours or searching for your next adventure, a true escape from the modern, hectic world.

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 Broad River, and you have peaceful perfection!

The Lake Lure/Chimney Rock/Bat Cave 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 Rocky River Retreat has to offer. We hope to see you soon and welcome you to be our guest!

If you need more space, check on the cottage right next door, Rocky River Retreat II. Just check the calendars for availability or pick up the phone and give us a call; we are happy to assist you.

AREA WIDE NOTICE: Lake Lure will undergo a drawdown from January 1st, 2024, through the first quarter of 2024(March 31st). The lake will begin to be lowered by approximately 1 foot per day until 12 feet have been reached. Infrastructure maintenance, dredging, and dam projects will be expedited during this time frame. These efforts by the Town of Lake Lure may affect access to the lake and restrict any lake usage. For more information, click here. The lake will likely be back up to normal levels by mid to late April. While we understand this is an inconvenience, this does allow you to enjoy the full beauty of Lake Lure in the fall and holiday season. This will not affect the smaller lakes in the area, only Lake Lure itself.

Smoking is prohibited in all of our vacation rental homes.
Dogs (up to 2) are welcome. Guests are required to clean up after their pets to avoid additional charges.
Parking for two (2) vehicles.
Check-in time is 4:00 p.m. local time or anytime later.
Check-out time is 10:00 a.m. local time or anytime earlier.

Note: Cancellation policies may vary on various marketing sites, but it is ALWAYS most affordable to book directly with us at Carolina Properties. Booking direct also enables a guest loyalty discount, available across our many properties upon your second stay.

Perfect Couple Getaway
Gorgeous location to be close to Chimney Rock, Lake Lure, Hendersonville, and Asheville - all were just a quick, beautiful drive away through the mountains. I have a tiny Toyota Yaris, and it could make the drive, so you can too! I've booked through VRBO in the past and regretted it when I got to the property, realizing my little car just couldn't get up a mountain road. You won't deal with that here. You will deal with beautiful views, a clean space, a gorgeous deck to read till your heart's content, or a space to sit by the fire and cast your cares away. Definitely recommend, and will definitely be back.

TERRIFIC LOCATION & CLEAN
Great location near lots of natural hiking, waterfalls and Lake Lure. Cottage was perfect size for 2 adults/small pet. All appliances new and clean. Mattress was perfect. Deck beside river WAS THE BEST! Enjoyed coffee out on deck every morning. Property management was easy to speak with and very attentive.

My family loves this cozy cabin on the river. We have been staying here for years & hope to many more. I would suggest moving the sign on the deck railing to a spot that doesn’t block the view of the river, otherwise it’s perfect!

Just perfect!
Was more than we expected, had everything and more that would be needed plus a firepit, bbq, a picnic table on the deck over looking the Briad river. Was even able to flyfish 20 feet out the back door. Ample parking and close to shopping and restaurants. Was just outstanding, hope to return soon.

Delightful “Tiny House”
Luved listening to the “roaring” river - so lulling. When two adults and two large four-legged fur-babies live in 5000 square feet and then stay together in 500 square feet for a week - a TIGHT space. A well appointed “tiny house,” with EVERYTHING you really need! King-sized bed is comfortable. All cotton linens - no polyester [bring your own feather pillow]. All kitchen necessities [no dishwasher - bring paper plates!], including a mixer [if you want to bake a cake?]. A PERFECT deck overlooking the river with a picnic table - coffee and wine were thoroughly enjoyed, there. Unfortunately it rained [ha! it POURED!] five out of our six days making it way too muddy for the fur-babies next to the river… But, my husband and I still managed to take advantage of the fire-pit AND damp evenings outdoors. There are a couple of warnings posted about how SLIPPERY THE ROCKS are. THEY ARE!!! Took four days for a pair of hiking boots to dry out… We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this “tiny house” and found plenty to do nearby, including great hikes with our fur-babies.

Beautiful BUT
This was a beautiful experience for my family. We really enjoyed this trip. We usually drag our camper but this was our 1st Vrbo . The otters played in the morning and the river was beautiful. Our thanksgiving setting was just perfect. Our first thanksgiving away from home. Only problem we had was the neighbor told us that he owned the river and he hated tourists . He was cursing and very rude and almost ruined our thanksgiving dinner. We tried talking and apologizing but his wife came out and was yelling we own both sides of this river. We just brushed it off and prayed for them lol. We at this point stayed around our area instead of exploring the rocks on the river. We always clean up and never leave nothing but a footprint. Not sure why he was so upset . They told us they were sick of these rentals and tourists. Also toaster didn’t work . No big deal . Just a heads up. Thank you for our adventure.. ~The Williams~
