About this property
Timber N Current -Reopening!
Previous known as The Cozy Rocky Broad Cabin. She was the lone survivor and just had some supports taken out and cosmetic damage .
She has now earned the name
Timber N Current
Along the Rocky Broad since 1944 This vintage 1944 cabin has stood along the Rocky Broad for generations, built of hand-set logs and raised above the river on sturdy stilts. Time, weather, and water have shaped its character, but the cabin remains—simple, steady, and deeply connected to the river that flows beside it.
Timber N Current- a lovingly restored riverfront log cabin near Chimney Rock and Lake Lure in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina. Built in 1944 ,beside the Rocky Broad River, this romantic cabin rental is where timeless mountain charm meets the soothing rhythm of the river, Today, Timber N Current welcomes guests once again, offering a rare opportunity to experience the beauty of the Rocky Broad River from a lovingly restored historic cabin, one of the few remaining after Hurricane Helene.
Nestled just steps from the water, this one-bedroom treasure invites you to slow down and reconnect with nature. Wake to birdsong, spend your days exploring nearby waterfalls, hiking trails, zip lining, Lake Lure, and the charming mountain town of Chimney Rock. Return to the peaceful sound of the river flowing just beyond your back door, enjoying an evening by the river surrounded fire pit.
Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply escaping the pace of everyday life, you'll find the perfect place to unwind in this intimate riverside hideaway.
**THE CABIN**
Thoughtfully restored after Hurricane Helene, while preserving its original character, Timber N Current offers the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. Come spend your day at the cabin fishing for some trout , wade, or kayak just steps out the back door in the river. Relax in a luxurious king bed, prepare meals in the fully equipped kitchen, or soak in the private hot tub for two beneath the stars. The back porch and a new rock terrace are the favorite places to sit and enjoy the rushing water of the Rocky Broad. The historic log construction creates the warm, welcoming atmosphere only a true mountain cabin can offer. Guests have enjoyed this cabin for a romantic getaway, anniversary trip, honeymoon cabin, weekend escape and more.
**THE RIVER EXPERIENCE**
The Rocky Broad River is the heart of Timber N Current. Enjoy your morning coffee listening to the rushing water, spend the afternoon relaxing beside the river and end the evening soaking in the hot tub beneath a canopy of stars, or enjoying a fire in the river surrounded fire pit. Every season brings something different- from vibrant spring greenery and cool summer breezes, to spectacular fall colors and peaceful winter views.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Great location, perfect getaway for the two of us. My wife and I really enjoyed sitting on the back deck listening to the rushing water and looking for wildlife at night. We would stay there again anytime.
We loved this cabin! Great location on the river that gave plenty of opportunity for fishing or just sitting on the deck and relaxing. Short drive to the restaurants and shops of Chimney Rock and Lake Lure. We've fallen in love with the area and will stay at this cabin as often as possible.
We so enjoyed our time at the cabin. The broad river was amazing and refreshing. The cabin was very clean and cozy. Perfect for my husband and me. We enjoyed having coffee on the back deck listening the broad river!!
Such a great, clean, and comfy/cozy spot! We loved hiking, exploring the area during the day. The evenings were spent relaxing in the river out back and enjoying local restaurants.
Very quaint cabin, well maintained and great location near all activities in Chimney Rock and Lake Lure. Most special was the back deck overlooking the river. The sound and sights while sipping wine on the deck was definitely the best part. A sweet place I would recommend for a single or younger couple wanting to take in the beauty surrounding the area.
What a cute and well-maintained cabin!! Just perfect for a getaway with my husband. The cabin was clean, comfortable and well equipped. To top it off, the bed was amazingly comfortable!! The best part was the back deck and the sounds of the water rushing over the rocks!! Our host was just great and had goodies and a kind note waiting as we arrived. We will definitely be back for more relaxation!!
We enjoyed our stay so much! The house was just as it is portrayed on the website, was very clean and quaint. Getting down to the river was easy and we enjoyed listening to the water while rocking on the deck. We did a lot of walking while there so we used the hot tub in the evenings. I would highly recommend this little cabin to anyone. And Lee and Amanda are so so easy to work with! Very nice people!
The cabin was clean, and met our expectations. The river was fantastic, and I spent a lot of time down by the bank, and watched the river go by.
Road was noisy during the day, but got quiet at night.
We had a large male bear visit two different nights. Scared Him away with a pot and lid to make noise.
The house is adorable, very clean, had absolutely everything we needed in the way of whole household products. The deck overlooks the river, we spent a good amount of time just sitting on the deck listening to the river roll. My husband did some fly fishing and my little pups enjoyed the great outdoors. After the long relaxing day we hopped in the jacuzzi, which was very clean and maintained. The house is super close to a lot of downtown activities, wineries, restaurants, music, and antique shops. I would highly recommend!
What an amazing stay! We were celebrating our 2 year anniversary. This is a great location just down the road from chimney rock and right on the river. We enjoyed sitting on the deck and sitting on the rocks in the river watching the cedar waxwings and other birds around us. We even saw a hummingbird land near us. Amanda and Lee go above and beyond with things most places don't provide. So many nice touches! We will definitely come.back again one day!!
We had a great time at this little cabin. Very cozy! Loved the easy access to Hendersonville, chimney rock, etc. The cabin is on the main road and the bedroom faces the road, so since I’m a light sleeper, I did have a little trouble with the car noise early in the morning but I knew that going in because their description of the property is very detailed. It didn’t discourage me from booking or staying again. Bed and couch are comfy! I loved the river access and can’t wait to come back when it’s warm. They had everything we needed for a great long weekend.
Thanks for a great stay!
I cannot say enough about the hosts for this property… we initially booked 1 yr. Ago and had to cancel due to our dog’s health. We rebooked for this year and had to them adjust our booking due to work schedule. The hosts were not only understanding but worked with us through the process. The cabin is comfortable with a relaxing deck that affords the opportunity to sit and listen to the flowing River and birds that inhabit the area. It rained much of our stay and we ventured out very little but we got a much needed time of rest and relaxation.
We had a wonderful stay at the cabin with amazing views of the river and woods behind the cabin. It was clean, cozy, had a wonderfully comfortable bed. It is located in a tiny town and had many options for meals. We also drove 30 minutes into Asheville to go see Old-time Country Music and Blue Grass music at Jack of the Woods, a bar & grill. We also enjoyed Burntshirts Wine tasting bar, in Chimney Rock Village, which serves small plates and entrées. We went hiking in Chimney Rock State park & the Wildcat hiking trail. We were a little early in the season for fall leaves, but mangaged to find the south end of the Blue Ridge Parkway had a lot of trees changing (10/4).
Thank you Amanda for your hospitality!
My husband and I enjoyed our 23rd anniversary in this rustic, fun, funky, and dog friendly cabin. The large balcony overlooks the beautiful Rocky Broad River which you can access by your private staircase. You can enjoy lounging on the huge boulders and dip your feet or body(if you’re daring enough)in the cool water. The sound of its gentle rushing will ease your stress away and lull you into a state of contentment. We found the location to be quite ideal as it was just minutes from downtown Chimney Rock and Lake Lure. Also very easy to get to all the beautiful wineries in the Hendersonville area. The only thing not totally ideal for us was the close proximity to the road which made dog walking a challenge. There is so much to do and see in this area!! We look forward to coming back here!
My husband and I celebrated our 40th anniversary traveling in the NC mountains. Our 4 days at this adorable cabin were our most relaxing! The cabin was clean, comfortable, and well stocked with anything we could have needed. The back deck overlooking the river was our favorite spot! The river runs through huge rocks and provides the most relaxing views and sounds. We fished and lounged on the rocks. My favorite thing was watching the sunset while sitting on the rocks. We enjoyed spending time in the Chimney Rock/Lake Lure area at Burntshirt Vineyard Tasting Room, Chimney Rock Brewing Co., and Appalachia Restaurant. Sierra Nevada Brewery and Postera Restaurant in Hendersonville were a short drive and we highly recommend. The cabin does sit close to the road, but that was not a problem for us. The location by the river was exactly what we wanted! We look forward to staying at this cozy cabin again soon.
What an amazing piece of paradise!! This was our first visit to the Chimney Rock/Lake Lure area and we are already making plans to go back with our families and have designated this as our cabin and vacation spot for our girls’ trip next summer.
Everything about your cozy riverside cabin was perfect from the moment we walked in. We were greeted with a personalized note, baked goods and all of the necessities needed for our stay. The owners were extremely responsive to any questions throughout our stay and the check-out process was the simplest that I have experienced with a VRBO rental. Our favorite part of our stay was all about the river - whether it was coffee on the deck in the morning, drinks on the deck listening to the river in the evening or wading in the afternoons- IT WAS MAGICAL!!! On our final morning while having our coffee, a bald eagle flew down the river as a farewell.
Thank you so much for sharing your cabin and hospitality with us. We cannot wait to return!
This lil cabin packs in a lot of great features. Incredibly clean and well planned. Full access to play on and around the river rocks directly behind the house. The sounds of the rushing waters are so relaxing from the deck rockers. The hot tub is right around the corner in a tucked in garden area next to the side door. Perfectly relaxing. The home itself is roomier than you might think from the pictures. The bed was big and comfy and the furniture was too. Most of the necessary consumable supplies were provided and appliances were supplied and easily accessible as well. Just bring in your food. The deck views spectacular. We saw a Blue Heron, River Otters, hummingbirds, hawks, fresh bear scat in the back yard (no bear sighted though) and even saw a few water snakes in the water we were playing in. The full nature experience. The location is ideal to various recreational areas and food. Shops and restaurants are within a few miles of the house.
*The only noteworthy negative is the road noise especially on the weekends with motorcycles and big trucks. BUT we believe the many positives about this home work to outweigh the noisy negatives.
We had a great time and left relaxed and grateful for our time away at the cozy cabin in Bat Cave, NC.
The pictures and description are as advertised. Clean and cozy cottage for two. Easy to find right off a main highway. Parking is adequate. There is one neighbor who is very close, but we never did see or hear them. The cabin is also very close to the road. We stayed during the week and the traffic did not interrupt our sleep. Just a warning—You have to be cautious if bringing pets. Keep them on a short leash when taking them outside or they could walk in the road very easily. There is a small patch of grass by the road for the dogs to relieve themselves. There is more grass down the steps by the river. However, we were warned by a neighbor that bears frequently use these same steps when searching the neighborhood for food at night. We did not see any bears on our trip. And just a friendly reminder, be a good pet parent and clean up after your dogs. We were hoping for a fire pit, but it wasn’t a deal breaker. The cabin was clean and organized. It had everything that we needed. The king size bed was comfortable.The bathroom and shower were on the small side for us along with the hot tub. (We are larger adults). It didn’t stop us though from enjoying our trip. The best part, in our opinion, was the deck overlooking the river. It was so peaceful and relaxing sitting out there watching the water flow over the rocks. The propane grill worked great and the outdoor rocking chairs were comfortable. I would highly recommend this cabin if you are looking to stay in the Bat Cave area.
