It feels like a throw back to an earlier era when life was simpler and the food tasted like what it was suppose to taste like. It's always a delightful pleasure to stop in and see what's just come in.

There were various options from produce to sweets to meats and cheeses. We didn't purchase anything since we didn't particularly need anything (plus, no fridge in our room) but were happy we stopped by to get a feel of the local Saturday market and hear some of the musical entertainment.

If you're looking for a apple house with a little history this just might be the spot. This…read morebusiness sits on a very narrow strip of land between the roadway and the boulder filled mountain creek where chilled water pours down from the higher elevations, it's a tranquil setting and the tree canopy provides a shady bank to sit among the massive rocks and listen to nature, depending on the time of the year a passing car may be slightly distracting but those unnatural noises are easily tuned out. You can also rent a picnic table for a dollar an hour if you've packed a lunch or just want to take a break. The old gentleman attending store here passes his time greeting the visitors from his rustic rocking chair near the front entrance he probably won't stand unless there's something to ring up on the antique cash register and it's definitely a cash only business - I noticed a old refrigerator containing tall bottles of pops, the sweat on the glass door seemed so inviting so I grabbed a cold bottle of Mountain Dew and paid the two bucks and threw in an extra dollar for his trouble after he popped the top with the backside of an old church key opener. He mumbled something about having to raise the price to pay for the refrigeration, I nodded and didn't challenge his comment as I put the glass bottle to my lips and turned it upwards. What appeared to be a antique bottle turned out to have glass threads so I guess the distributor has yet to inform him the bottles are all twist tops so I didn't feel I should be the one to break his nostalgic gesture of popping the top although finding this out it did temper my childhood memories a bit. This building is old and it appears it's been expanded over the years although it definitely wasn't last year - this wooden structure seems sound and a nice place to escape the sun and provides adequate protection for the fruits and vegetables. I walked around the areas that were accessible and avoided those areas that seemed to filled with decades of junk and were structurally challenged. I like these kind of places and I think they have a lot of historic value and I don't know the plan when this old man calls it a day but I'm sure it will not be the same. The selection of apples is minimal, I'm sure he buys a few boxes at a time from the local growers they looked okay and I don't know anything about pricing it may be a bargain but not sure what a bag of apples goes for in the area. It was a great place to stop and visit but probably not one I'd frequent even if I lived right down the road...

You will NOT find the name of this place on google maps. If you search for Bat Cave Apple House,…read moreyou will find a blog and that's about it. We found this place without looking for it. We were taking a drive along the blue ridge then decided to head into Lake Lure. We found a cute post office in Bat Cave, NC. Once you get to the post, continue driving towards Lake Lure and you will find this place a short distance down the road on the right hand side. They have apple butter, honey, apples, and a variety of other items. The setting is park like along the broad river. You can pay to park there and hang out by the river for the day, or pay by the hour $1 for picnic table use. Parking is free for customers and you can walk down and look at the river/ take pictures and leave for free, but if you linger for too long, parking fees are wanted. This is a quaint shop and the tree covered benches is a great place to stop and have a picnic. Well worth the $1 if you're on a road trip!
