Serving you since 1983 - Now open year round

Do you find yourself daydreaming about your last fishing trip? Have you been feeling the need for a weekend get-a-way? Bring your family for a relaxing vacation in scenic western North Carolina and stay at River View Cabins! Located on the Rocky Broad River, near Lake Lure and Chimney Rock, North Carolina, these vacation cabin rentals are set among picturesque natural beauty and offer clean, comfortable, accommodations with reasonable rates. Family-owned and operated, Ken and Sheila Pyle have been renting their mountain cabins since 1983—the cabins are now available year-round!

River View Cabins are conveniently located near many of this area's attractions and the proximity of the cabins to the banks of the Rocky Broad River gives you the option of staying “close to home” for an even more relaxing vacation. For the fishermen (or women), the river is stocked weekly within 100 yards of the cabins. Tubing or kayaking down the river is a great way to spend an afternoon and there are canoe rentals available nearby. For the more adventurous, the French Broad River is a 30 minute drive where half-day or all-day raft trips are offered. If you crave even more excitement, white water rafting is an option within a two hour drive!

River View Cabins are within a convenient driving distance of scenic Lake Lure, the majestic Blue Ridge Parkway, and the fabulous Biltmore House in Asheville, North Carolina. Closer to your lodgings, you can enjoy horseback riding, golf, shopping, and many fine restaurants. Chimney Rock Park provides hiking opportunities and rock climbing—some suitable for beginners. No matter what your interests or chosen activities, the quality rentals at River View Cabins provide the perfect place to relax after a busy day of sightseeing or playing in the great outdoors.

Our mountain cabin rentals include two 1-bedroom units, the Sunflower and the Berry Patch—each with a comfortable sleeper sofa in the living room to accommodate parties of four. Our 2-bedroom cabin, the Applehouse, has a large family room overlooking the river and a cozy fireplace in the living room. You will enjoy the comfort and amenities of River View Cabins and appreciate the convenient proximity to the myriad recreational activities available in this area. We look forward to hosting you as you visit beautiful western North Carolina!

Ken, Brandon and I just wanted to say thank you for allowing us to rent the cabin this past weekend. We fell in love with it the moment we walked through the door. Y'all have thought of absolutely everything to make us right at home the minute we arrived. Jill is such a sweetheart, and she was overly accommodating to anything we needed or any questions we had. We are looking forward to coming back very soon. Maybe next time we'll have the pleasure of meeting you and your wife. Again, we had a wonderful time! Erica and Brandon, April 2012

Dear Jill, Thanks you so much for your hospitality and kindness. We had a wonderful time. The Berry Patch is an adorable little cabin and exactly what we needed at a very reasonable cost. The river is breathtaking, the people are friendly and we will most definitely coming back... Ken was very sweet to work with us on such short notice and I will be sure to review our stay on the internet 5 Stars The Rineharts, March 2012

Hi Ken. Just a quick note to say that we enjoyed our stay this weekend at the Applehouse. We loved the location, and enjoyed grilling on the deck, building fires in the fireplace, and sitting by the river. We very much appreciated Jill's hospitality and the cleanliness and comforts of the place! We will check in with you again next time we plan a trip to the mountains

Restful and relaxing you can't beat the location. Have been coming back for over 10 years. The river is perfect. You can do as little or as much as want. You can fish out the back door.

The river makes a wonderful sound at night that creates a soothing atmosphere within the cabin and on the deck. Its a great place to convert stress to a willful likeness of nature Miny from Charlotte March 2011

We want to thank you for a AWESOME time!!!!!! it was soooooooo peacefull... Everything was great....We loved the cabin, the river running in back was one of the most relaxing sounds we have ever had. We saw Chimney Rock, Mount Mitchell, Triple Falls and rented a pontoon boat on Lake James[125.00 a day] vs 500.00 at Lake Lure!!! Beautifull!!!! You made our vacation/honeymoon perfect...Again, thanks for the great time and we will be back...

Ken, Just wanted to thank you for your hospitality this weekend. Our family had a wonderful visit. The children loved the river (as a matter of fact they didn’t want to leave the house to visit Chimney Rock or the Sandburg Home, etc., but we took them anyway J). They swam for 2-3 hours each day! The house was very comfortable. We very much appreciated Jill, who was always kind and available.. I guess the best indicator was that each member of my family, at one point or another during the weekend, came to me and said “we’ve got to come back here again and soon!” We really hope to visit again soon -- just wanted to say thanks.

Thank you for setting us up Thursday night in the Blueberry cabin. My family had a great time this weeekend and somehow you made it snow while we were there. I will be recommending your place to all my friends and family. What a view! Can’t wait to come back and try a little fishing and tubing. C Yeazel, Sebring, Fl Jan 2010

Let me take this opportunity to tell you what a wonderful 2 days Larry and I spent in the Berry Patch cabin. Also let me brag on your manager Jill Lockhart, she was bubbling over with personality and full of information for us to see while we were there. My husband Larry caught 4 rainbows off the rocks ..It was heavenly to be in your beautiful cabins... The Love's, Lavonia, Georgia July 2009

I had a fabulous time. The cabin was great and it had everything I needed. The weather was PERFECT (thank you). Jill was awesome and very accommodating. I look forward to renting it again. E Armijo, Albuquerque, NM June 2009

The first thing that comes to mind is W O W!!!!! You were right, we barely stepped a foot off that deck, how relaxing. It was so hard to leave. The cabin is so beautiful and well maintained and you've kept to it's age and character.. Being right on the river, yet close to pick up supplies was an added bonus. Kim, Pam and Teia, Hendersonville, NC June 2009

Ken, I just wanted to write to tell you that Steve and I had a wonderful vacation. The cabins in Bat Cave were outstanding! We were comfortable and the location was close to many things that we enjoyed. We will definitely do business w/you again. Many, many thanks for your kindness and hospitality P Travis Sept 2008
