About this property

Cardinal House Retreat

  • Summary:

    Beautiful dog-friendly, mountainside cabin w/ private hot tub, and pool table



    The Space:

    Steal away to the gorgeous North Georgia mountains at this family oasis plus loft in Mineral Bluff, where you'll have a private hot tub overlooking the treetops to help you relax and unwind. Soak in the beauty of the great outdoors on three furnished decks (including a private balcony off the main bedroom), or curl up with a book in front of the gas fireplace. After days spent hiking and fishing, you can gather around the outdoor firepit to tell stories of your adventures or retreat indoors for a round of pool in the game room.



    Speaking of the game room, it's located on the first floor of this mountain gem and features a pool table, smart TV, board games, and a dartboard. This level also hosts a secluded bedroom with a smart TV and a desk, a full bathroom, and access to the patio where your outdoor hot tub lives. Upstairs, the second floor of the home offers a roomy and light-filled open floor plan. Snuggle up by the gas fireplace as you stream your favorite series on the smart TV located above the fireplace or head over to the wrap-around deck to grill some patties and veggies for a warm-weather barbecue! If the weather is warm enough, take advantage of the eight-person dining table there as well. This level also hosts a bedroom with a TV and another full bathroom. And last, but certainly not least, the third floor has a small but convenient loft area with a desk, a secluded main bedroom with a private balcony, and an en-suite full bathroom.



    You'll have everything you need while you kick back in this mountainside retreat, but if you do decide to venture out, there are plenty of parks and nearby water activities, and the towns of McCaysville (three miles north) and Blue Ridge (12 miles south) are within an easy drive. In both towns, you can browse boutique shops, enjoy some Southern cuisine, and take in the mountain scenery along the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway (which connects the two towns). If you're looking to get out on the water, Lake Blue Ridge (11 miles south) and Lake Nottely (23 miles east) are beautiful spots to fish, take out a boat, or bring a picnic.

Beautiful Cabin

Wonderful views, hot tub was nice and hot. Plenty of bedrooms worth bathrooms. Could you a couple more kitchen pans, but stocked very well with spices, plates and glasses. Firepit was fun even had hotdog forks for s’mores! Would stay again!

It was an lovely experience, my wife and i spend majority of our stay at the cabin. which was unusual for us being on vacation, the cabin just had all the entertainment we needed. The pool table was awesome and well kept, pool stick and chark are provided and the hot Tub was clean and relaxing as well as the entire cabin.if u seek privacy it is not short of that and the location is just nice and quiet. My dog also ejoyed the space, i will definitely be back.

Relaxation Refresh

The house was beautiful. I would imagine views are amazing in spring and fall. It was very cold so we stayed in, ate and played games by the fire. We were two couples but plenty of room for a third. Woke up to beautiful sunrise and a family of deer. Short drive to town. Will definitely rent this house again.
