The cabins are located on The Rocky Broad River by Chimney Rock, NC,  right in the middle of apple country. The river is stocked weekly with trout within about 100 yards from the cabins, and we see lots of folks catching their limit. Be sure to have a fishing license.   Tubing, kayaking and just playing in the river have delighted many of our guests, and you can go horseback riding in the area, as well as rent canoes in the river below the Lake Lure dam. At Chimney Rock Park they now also have rock climbing, and it's suitable for beginners.  There are several rivers  for white water rafting   within a couple hours drive.  The French Broad River  is only 30 minutes away, and has both all day and 1/2 day rafting trips.  We're located within convenient driving distance of attractions such as The Biltmore House in Asheville and Chimney Rock Park.    Access to the Blue Ridge Parkway just a few miles away on the way to Asheville. A good destination is Linville Falls going north on the parkway. The Dupont State Park, on the other side of Hendersonville, is a great day trip for hiking to several nice waterfalls.    Several  nice and reasonably priced golf courses are within 30 minutes drive.  Black Mountain is 15 miles north on  Hwy 9.  It has some very nice shops, artists and restaurants.

On our last visit  we had dinner at El Sereno in Lake Lure.  I had the Seafood Fajita and Sheila had the Super Sampler and both were outstanding. Great value. We've also enjoyed  lunch at LaStrada also in Lake Lure.  Good food and it has a nice view of the lake.   There's a lot of other good restaurants in the area, these are just 2 we've tried recently.

Comments from our Guests:

Ken, I just wanted to tell you what a great time we had at The Berry Patch. We loved the place and personally I wanted to live there....In closing we had a great time, the color's were beautiful and the cabin was very nice. We will be back again.    The Tarkentons    Orlando, Fl    Sept 2001

I wanted to thank you so much for letting us stay at your cabin this past weekend. We had such a wonderful time. We were very impressed by the presentation of the cabin. It was clean and cozy, and we have never been so relaxed!               E Steckel     Sarasota, Fl  May 2002

I just wanted to let you know how very much we enjoyed our time at your Cabin.  Dante and I consider this one of our all time favorite vacations.    This week away afforded us an opportunity to just BE.  For me personally, I have never come back to the work so rested and renewed...  The simple accommodations and the opportunity to disconnect from most of the world was not only exciting but additive.   The Tomasini's  Columbia SC  July 2006

Once again we've had a wonderful time up here and hate to leave.  We'll see you next July
The Gibsons,   Reidsville NC    July 2006

I just wanted to take this time to say "Thank You" for allowing me to spend  some much-needed time away from it all. I truly enjoyed the time that I spent at your cabin and I do look forwarded to going back again someday soon.  I also want to express my gratitude to Jill who was always willing to help and made my stay even more enjoyable.  May God continue to bless you and your loved ones with lots of love, health, and happiness.
Respectfully,

Just wanted to let you know that my father and I had the best time ever in NC at you cabin. The river supplied us with fresh fish two nights and it was completely relaxing. We needed that break and solitude. Your manager Jill, was more than accomodating to us during our stay and was so courteous also. We would like to come back again next year to your cabin. Thanks
J. Gleaton,      Lexington SC  May 2007

Wanted to say thank you, thank you, thank you!  We just had our best  family vacation staying at the Berry Patch for a week! The cabin was
centrally located to everything, but I felt like we were far, far  away from the world with the rushing river and beautiful setting!   The cabin was cozy, clean, and had everything we needed in the  kitchen too... My girls made us promise we would go back again next year.
The Skeltons,     Tampa, Fl     June 2007 

I wanted to  let you know how much we enjoyed staying at the Berry Patch. Jill did a great job making everything nice for us, and we had a great time! We even got to meet a lot of your family while we were there, so that was great, too! Thanks for providing  such a wonderful vacation place!                Marty Davis,   July 2007

I just wanted to drop you a quick note and let you know what a great time we had at the cabin a couple of weeks ago.  We didn't get any new snow but the kids enjoyed the "leftover" snow just the same and it was beautiful.  Thanks again and we will be in touch the next time we need to get away
The Friersons'  Columbia SC  Jan 2008

I wanted to let you know that we had a wonderful time last week at the cabins in Bat Cave.  The weather was great and the fishing was even better.  Between me, my father, and my brother, we caught more than 150 trout just down from the cabins.  Jill was very helpful during the week and the cabin was great.  She made sure we had everything we needed.  Thanks to the both of you for a wonderful vacation.
