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, 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. Jill was awesome…she did an outstanding job decorating the cabin for my wife’s birthday. My wife was totally surprised. 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 but let them go because we didn't want to cook while we were there. It was heavenly to be in your beautiful cabins. We will likely come back again soon

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. The enclosed porch/sunroom is beautiful! .. Being right on the river, yet close to pick up supplies was an added bonus.

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

I just wanted to let you know what a fantastic time we had during our stay in your Berry Patch cabin. We couldn't have been more pleased with our accommodations and the helpful assistance Jill provided to us..... ..
Again, thank you for affording my family the opportunity to create everlasting memories of our stay in Hickory Nut Gorge.

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. Thanks to the both of you for a wonderful vacation.
