An exceptional 3BR/2Bath, mountain retreat w/private waterfall, fire pit & European hot tub! 

An exceptional mountain retreat w/private waterfall, fire pit & European hot tub! Does the thought of sleeping with the soothing flow of a waterfall nearby, sound wonderful to you? Or maybe, having a glass of wine while soaking in a beautiful European hot tub, overlooking that waterfall? How about roasting marshmallows over the fire pit at the bottom of that waterfall? If, so... "THE RETREAT @ MINIHAHA" is for you. This upscale, 3BR/2bath... newly renovated... property, is nestled perfectly in the Blue Ridge Mountains, beside it's very own "Minihaha Falls". The owners have gone to great lengths to make this vacation home as "perfect" as is can possibly be.

You'll enter the one-level home, with ease, from the parking area... just one step up onto the side portion of the multi-level deck. Inside, the open floor plan, greets guests into the fully equipped kitchen, w/stainless steel appliances, the dining area w/seating for six (6), the living area, w/beautiful leather furnishings, and... a spectacular lounging area, in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, overlooking the waterfall & the fire pit area below.

The large Master Bedroom features a King size, adjustable bed, luxurious linens & bedding, a flat screen TV, a private entrance/exit out onto the deck, and down to the hot tub, and more floor-to-ceiling windows, which let in lots of natural light, and showcase the incredible views. The adjacent Master Bath includes a large, two-person, walk-in shower.

Both guest bedrooms have Queen beds, with top-of-the line linens & bedding, and the guest bathroom also has a double, walk-in-shower.

Outside, the multi-level, wrap-around, deck, provides the peace and tranquility that mountain life offers. Just off the living room, and off the master bedroom, the upper portion of the deck is home to several, comfy rockers, where you can enjoy your morning cup of coffee... an afternoon with a good book, or an evening with the moon & stars. The lower portion of the deck leads the way, down a stone pathway, to the screened, lighted & furnished, European hot tub cabana. The steps down to the fire pit area below, are also reached from this portion of the deck.

Once you're here... you may find yourself wanting to stay forever, or... at least wanting to come back again and again!

Amazing scenery
Pictures don't do this property justice. It was breathtaking. Couple that with comfortable beds, and just a short drive to Chimney Rock, Asheville, or Black Mountain made for a perfect weekend getaway.

This was the best weekend getaway my husband and I have ever taken. The property was beautiful and allowed us to not only build on our relationship but also connect with nature. We will stay here again soon.

Literally Heaven On Earth!!!!!
This was our annual "Girls Trip" and I always work hard to find the perfect spot! I FOUND IT!!! It is even more beautiful than the pictures and we didn't want to leave. Debbie and Melissa were very accommodating and their goal was for us to have the most amazing time...and they delivered!! The sound of the waterfall soothed our souls and the jacuzzi was so relaxing! The back deck was wonderful with the rocking chairs and morning coffee! You cannot go wrong with this property and we can't wait to go back!

This property is amazing!! I have stayed in many VRBO properties and the beds here are wonderful. Listening to the waterfall right in the back of the property was so peaceful. I would highly recommend this home.

Long weekend!
Excellent!! Great weekend getaway!! Just far enough out to enjoy the peace and quiet, but close enough to go to Chimney Rock Village in just a few minutes! And Lake Lure is just a little further but still close by! Highly recommended!

Immaculate, beautiful cabin with waterfall
This cabin in Bat Cave is in the perfect location: a couple of miles from Chimney Rock and Chimney Rock State Park, and 30 min from Asheville, Black Mountain, and other cute little towns! The cabin was immaculate, it has a beautiful waterfall in the backyard. Plenty of space for our family of two adults and a 19 year old and 17 year old. It has everything you need to grill and cook, and the ice maker makes plenty of ice so you don’t have to worry about buying any. The washer and dryer work well and the dryer is loud but dries your clothes super quick! We spent so much time on the back porch rocking and watching the waterfall. The beds were super comfy and the master bed adjusts up and down. The hot tub was very nice and relaxing after long days of hiking and kayaking. My only complaint, which wasn’t really a big deal, was that I emailed the property manager a day or two before we left to ask a question and never received a response, but I realized it might have been better to call, because I called to ask a question on our departure day and they called back right away and were very helpful and friendly. Also, they start you off with a roll off paper towels and TP and a small bottle of dish detergent, etc which was very helpful. The showers were awesome and plenty of towels were provided so that you don’t have to wash towels constantly. I would definitely come back, such a wonderful place!!!!
