Description Description
Expansive, spectacular mountain views await you from nearly every room of this cabin just south of Blowing Rock! Cardinal's View offers everything you're looking for on your next High Country adventure. 

The main level features a large great room with vaulted, exposed-beam ceilings, a gas log fireplace, a foosball table, a big TV, and lots of leather furniture arranged around the room. Double doors set into the wall of windows leads you outside to the deck, where you can kick back in one of the Adirondack rockers and soak in the 50-mile views. Head back inside and prepare dinner in the well-equipped kitchen, which has granite counters and stainless steel appliances including a gas 4-burner stove with griddle. There's room for 6 people at the dining table and 4 more at the additional table at the side of the great room. 

Time for bed? Cardinal's View offers three bedrooms each with their own bathroom. On the main level off the great room is a suite with King bed and private bath with a shower and double vanities. There's a second bedroom down the hall from the kitchen with a Queen bed, and a full bath across the hall. Upstairs is a second suite, designed especially for a family to enjoy as it has a Queen bed and two sets of Full over Twin bunk beds, as well as a private bathroom. 

Outside, the grounds offer so much to enjoy. There's a huge in-ground stone firepit, a picnic table, a swing facing the beautiful mountain views, and rustic steps leading into the forest where you can wander through the trees. There's an EV charger by the side of the garage, as well! (Tesla owners - bring your own adapters.) Have a cookout with the gas grill.  Kick back and soak in the big views from the hot tub, too. The cabin's land backs up to the National Forest so you'll enjoy great privacy here! 

Cardinal's View is located off scenic Highway 221, affectionately known as The Little Parkway due to its forested beauty and route parallel to its famous namesake. Historic downtown Blowing Rock is just a 15 minute drive away, and the towns of Linville, Banner Elk, and Newland are all close by as well. 

IMPORTANT NOTES: 
- Take into consideration that the house is located at least 25-30 minutes from the nearest grocery store. We recommend stopping at the store before checking in at the house! 
- This home is accessed by a steep gravel road. 4WD or AWD vehicles with good tires are required year-round, and during winter months chains may also be necessary during inclement weather.

Depending on your carrier, your cell phone may or may not work in this location. Verizon is the best coverage here, and if your plan supports it, you can use your phone as a hotspot. 
- Guests do not have access to the detached garage.
- All BRMR homes offer well stocked kitchens with all utensils needed to cook meals. There is also a "starter set" of paper products at the house: a roll of toilet paper per bath, a couple garbage bags, a small vial of dishwashing liquid, a few tablets of dishwasher detergent, some laundry pods, a roll of paper towels, hand soap, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and some makeup remover cloths. There are enough of these items for one night, or maybe two. We do not provide hair dryers.

We LOVED the Cardinal View Lodge. It was very clean, well equipped with everything we needed and enough space for our group of 6 women to move about comfortably. The driveway was steep, but in early September we had no problem navigating the driveway with our Lexus SUV. The communication from Blue Ridge Mountain Rentals was always quick with replies and full of all the information we needed. The lock was easy to use and even the requested cleanup was very clear and simple. ( I appreciate that because some companies or Air BNB's almost require a full clean up of the rental which can sometimes negatively impact your pleasurable perception about the rental experience upon checkout.) The views of the Blue Ridge Mountains were spectacular and ever changing with the sun casting different shadows all day long. The accommodations were extremely comfortable and furniture arranged appropriately to encourage fellowship and lively conversation. The hot tub was clean and strategically placed to allow for the best views of the mountains as we soaked and soaked it all in. The fire pit was conveniently close by and allowed for ample seating and fun swinging while we sang and chatted around the fire. As our fire slowly faded we admired the distant lights of our night view and the gorgeously dark sky with sprawling bright stars, which were a feast for the eyes. Cardinal View Lodge was everything we hoped it would be... and more.

The views speak for themselves
From the minute we arrived to the minute we left, we had an amazing time. The place is top notch. The views speak for themselves. We went to Blowing Rock, Grandfather Mtn, and Boone. You are literally just off the parkway. The driveway is steep and we had 4WD and would suggest that year round. The WiFi is listed as “not good for streaming” but we were able to. T-Mobile did not work here unless connected to the WiFi (we expected this) but Verizon had service. The first night we were here we were already talking about coming back. Thank you for sharing your slice of Heaven with us.

They weren't kidding about the view from the porch: at least 50 miles and ridge after ridge made the perfect Blue Ridge landscape. Plenty of room for 10 or more people (we had 3). Pet friendly but in exceptional shape compared to other pet homes we've stayed in. We'll be back.

This is a gem! Outdoor firepit with a view, next to gorgeous clean hottub with a view and next to a picnic table and swing! A wonderful long porch with rocking chairs and a high barstool picnic table with swivel chairs, all with amazing view, are ideal. There is a foosball table and chess table inside, comfy beds, each bedroom with a full private bathroom, and chairs around gas fireplace that recline. I just cannot say enough great things about this place - we are coming back!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay and would highly recommend this property. The cabin is in a beautiful, private location very close to Grandfather Mountain and with an absolutely stunning view. The cabin was clean and had all the necessary supplies, though I would recommend a stop at the grocery store before arriving for extra supplies as it is a good 30-40 minute drive to town one way. Overall a wonderful stay and we greatly enjoyed the cabin, view, location and the amenities provided.

This house is tucked into the mountainside and very private. At the top of the ridge is the blue ridge parkway. The views from are absolutely stunning and the house is so comfortable. We were greeted with a loaf of pumpkin bread and mountain spring water which we loved. They also had little kits in the bathrooms and kitchen for guests that had all the essentials. Came in handy when we forgot laundry detergent. Nice touch! The house and property are very well maintained and clean. We can't wait to go back!

Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful home. My husband and I needed a stress free few days to just get away and unwind and Cardinals View Lodge helped us accomplish that! The home's kitchen is very well stocked for cooking and the views are amazing. We enjoyed sitting on the deck just relaxing and listening to the quiet. We will definitely consider staying in this home again!

Love Blue Ridge Mountain Rentals and Cardinal View Home!
We've never had a bad stay when renting with Blue Ridge Mountain Rentals! Their properties are accurately described, they are clean, well kept, and they are our go to when planning a trip? Cardinal View home had absolutely breathtaking views and such a perfect outdoor space from which to enjoy them! The home is very nice and we could not have asked for a better place! We will go back !!

Amazing View and Location!
We loved our stay here! So much good hiking around and cute towns to visit. One day we got iced in and Blue Ridge Parkway was closed for ice too. We were able to use old trails behind the cabin to explore a bit of the national forest next door and were even able to hike up the mountain north/northwest about a mile up to the parkway and had it all to ourselves, very surreal. The cabin itself was setup nicely and the view was unbelievable. We'll be back!

The Cardinals View Lodge was amazing! I spent the weekend there with family and friends and we couldn't have chosen a better place to stay. One night we were in the hot tub, a sea of clouds below us and above was the night sky filled with stars. The place has incredible views and breathtaking sunrises so I recommend you get up 30 minutes before the sunrise. It is year-around place to stay. I cannot wait to be back with my parents and brother soon so I can show them this beautiful place.

This was the perfect winter getaway for small family reunion. The house and outside space was amazing…. Beyond description. My family loved the hot tub and views are spectacular. Only tip is to stop at grocery store because just running out for something will take about 30 winding road minutes each way! Can't wait to come back… just amazing!!!!

My family & I had a wonderful time! Extra clean and beautifully furnished. We could enjoy the mountains no matter what the weather - an open sitting area as well as a covered one. If you don't mind driving US 221 (which I don't mind at all), this is a perfect location. Quiet, and did I say anything about the view? Oh my. The pictures don't do it justice.
