About this property

CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE - HURRICANE HELENE

Welcome to C & G's Rocky Broad River Cabin - the longest 'family owned' rental property in Bat Cave. One step onto our back porch and you'll be "hooked"!!! Remodeled in 2010, the porch boasts over 300 sq. ft. of screened-in space which is a great extension of the living area of the cabin. Here, you can rest, relax, read, or even take a nap while listening to the river in complete "bug-free" comfort. Better yet, start your morning with breakfast on the porch; lunch and dinner work equally as well. There is seating for 6 at the table but with all this space, more can be included.

Originally purchased by my grandfather in 1947, we have owned the house since 1987 and now it will be passed down to our grandchildren, Carson and Gabby Kincaid. Since starting this ad, Carson is now 12 years old and Gabby is 7. Both enjoy playing in the river and exploring!!

We have completely remodeled the upstairs (downstairs not yet available) and have updated all utilities and living spaces. Practically everything is new - granite counter tops, cabinets, bathroom, wiring, and plumbing.

Come stay with us and experience a new level in Mountain Luxury!!

Best Spot in Bat Cave

We've stayed all over the Bat Cave/Chimney Rock/Lake Lure area for years. This may have been the best place we've stayed (for a small group). Right on the river, beautiful trees, great location, and FANTASTIC back porch! House is 100% updated, comfy beds, great kitchen etc... Nothing to knock here! Great place!

Wonderful leaf peeping!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this cabin. My friend nick named it Cozy Toes Cabin. It was just the perfect place to stay and see the beauty of the fall leaves. The porch is fabulous with a lovely flowing river behind the house. It was wonderful to hear the river as we had our morning coffee. Woould definitely stay again!

Terrific View!

This cabin was perfect for a getaway. It's a few minutes from hiking and food at Chimney Rock, and about 30 minutes from Asheville and Hendersonville. The back patio is wonderful with the Broad River running behind the property. Both bedrooms have glass doors looking out towards the river. And the remote-controlled fireplace was perfect at the end of the day. Thanks!!

A jewel

My husband and I had a lovely time staying in this older cabin. This is a house on the banks of the Rocky Broad River; the upstairs of the house has been renovated for rental. The vibe here is "laid back nice" with a roomy kitchen that's well equipped. We spent most of our time in the recliners on the large porch at the back, reading and listening to the river. The cathedral ceiling on the porch and fans helped us be comfortable for all but the hottest parts of the days during this summer visit during a heat wave with high humidity (heat index 104 degrees). We appreciated the varnished wood floors and variety of lighting. The custom cabinetry which makes maximal use of space in the bathroom & closet added to its appeal. Everything was very clean. Parking space for 2 cars max is in front of the cabin, just off the road. The hosts are very helpful and responsive; they provided an accurate idea of what we we're going to find. The cabin is small but well laid-out; my 5-star rating is applicable to this size cabin, not on a scale with huge new elaborate rentals. We like to live simply, so it was perfect for us.

The Sound of a Mountain Stream

This is a wonderful place to stay! If you like to sit on a screened porch and listen to the beautiful sound of the mountain stream, then look no further! The hosts called to check and make sure we found everything as we should have! The house was immaculate and we had everything we needed. Can't wait to return and thank you Brenda & Randy for sharing your mountain get-away! We loved it!

Awesome place to Relax and Enjoy

We really enjoyed our stay here. The accommodations are fantastic, the beds are comfortable, and the view (and sound of) the river flowing in the back is incredibly relaxing. The stay was great. It felt like home. Anything you need is available. I would certainly recommend this place to anyone. It exceeded our expectations.

Property was clean upon arrival and was exactly what we expected. Screened in porch was a nice treat and the sound of the River from the porch is very relaxing. House had everything we needed and communication with owners was friendly and easy. Would definitely recommend to others and/or rent again for another trip.

Wonderful getaway!

My family and I had the most pleasant stay at this cabin in Bat Cave. It was our first time to this area, and we went on lots of hikes and loved being in the Blue Ridge Mountains. The cabin was beautiful, clean and had everything you would need for a relaxing vacation. We especially enjoyed the fireplace in the living room as well as the screened-in porch with the view of the river. We made a fire in the firepit by the river and roasted marshmallows, which was a big hit with our child. Randy was very responsive and caring and answered any questions we had promptly. We had a wonderful experience. Thank you, Randy and family!

About the host

Hosted by Randy and Brenda Kincaid

Host profile image
Carson was born in 2012 and is our 'Pride and Joy'. He is so much fun to be around. As our only grandson and the heir to this property, and considering that my grandfather, Charles Carr Harrelson, was the first in our family to own this house, I thought it only fitting to call the house 'Carson's Cabin'.

My name is Randy Kincaid. I practically grew up in this house and spent every summer there until 1968 when my grandparents sold their mountain property. My wife, Brenda, and I purchased the house in 1987 and have been continual part-time residents of Bat Cave since then. I am a retired elementary school principal but still do contract work for our local school system. Brenda retired as the Director of Cooperative Education and Student Employment from the community college in our town.

Since retiring, we have spent most of our time remodeling Carson's Cabin with the thoughts that most of our free time will be spent there since getting up early to go to work is no longer a concern. Many of the upgrades we've made have been to make life easier for us while also appealing to the 'guests' we may have stay in our house.

Carson is now 9 years old and developing into a fine "little man". One of his hobbies is fishing in the river or, when the fish aren't biting, jumping around the rock or simply playing in the river.

Why they chose this property

A friend who got me interested in real estate investing once said, 'Never buy a property with your heart!'
Well, if you read the section above, you know that's exactly what I 'DIDN'T' do. I was upset when my grandparents sold the property so when the opportunity presented itself for me to buy the house, there was no doubt that I had to have it. Obviously with the name (Carson's Cabin), I have no plans of selling and hopefully, one day, this house will be his!!

What makes this property unique

Spend the weekend here and you know the benefits - so peaceful, so restful - OMG, an almost perfect place!

If you're fortunate enough to be here on Sunday mornings, be sure to take your cup of coffee to the back porch and listen to the church music from Bat Cave Baptist Church right across the river and up on the mountain. An unforgettable experience!!

Spend time down by the riverside. We have a large fire pit and chairs on the lawn for your use and enjoyment. The sound of the river is almost 'hypnotic'; you will definitely feel the calming effect!!
