Rock face mountains with green quilt like surroundings, blue skies with white pillow clouds, boulders that sit at the mountain base and guide the rushing creek, winding roads that reveal lush surprises at every turn, waterfalls that pop out in unsuspecting crevices.
Welcome to Bat Cave!
As you turn onto Middle Fork Road more beauty awaits. A rushing creek flowing down the mountain, secret waterfalls that lead to the historic homestead as you cross the bridge to Sweet Water Cottage. A cottage hand-built from stone over 80 years ago. This newly restored home has an exterior of old Stone craftsmanship blended with an interior of modern amenities.
Sweet Water Cottage is a beautiful newly renovated home that has 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. All new modern appliances, fully stocked coffee station, washer/dryer, double oven, dishwasher, icemaker/ filtered water fridge. Each bathroom has its own unique luxury. Relax in the beautiful 70" soaking tub after a long hike or unwind in the Jack and Jill bath that displays the beauty of the exposed natural stone, complete with a walk-in tile shower. Bedrooms include the master which has a king adjustable bed with a remote wall fan, the classic twin bedroom, and a kids room that has a bunk with a twin over full. The kid's room is stocked with books, games, and its own TV/DVD. The front porch is the place to be for morning coffee, reading, or soaking in the sounds of Middle Fork Creek. Take a nap in the creekside hammock or just relax watching the water in the hammock chairs. The fire pit is a wonderful end of the day hang out, grilling steaks, roasting hotdogs or marshmallows. Be mesmerized by the fire while you allow the water sound to wash away any anxious thoughts. Be still and know that you are surrounded by so many fun activities that all you need to do is decide which one to do first.
