From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this home was designed with care and thoughtfulness. The house is spacious and beautifully decorated, with a perfect layout that offered something for everyone in our family.One of the things we loved most was how well the home catered to all ages. Whether it was the kids enjoying the cinema and game/arcade rooms or the adults relaxing in the fire pit areas, cozy living room, balcony, and outdoor spaces, there was never a moment when we felt crowded. It truly felt like there was a spot for everyone to unwind and enjoy themselves.The kitchen was fully stocked, making it easy to prepare meals together, and the hot tub, game room, BBQ, and backyard fire pit area added extra fun to our stay. We also appreciated the little touches, like the welcome gift and the host’s thoughtful recommendations for local attractions, which made us feel right at home.Overall, our family had an amazing time, and we are already talking about when we can come back. If you’re looking for a beautiful, well-equipped home that offers plenty of activities and space for everyone, we highly recommend this property! ##### Jorge C. Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gary G. Jul 16, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great house for a family! We had ages 5-80 (16 of us!) and there was plenty of space for everyone and lots to do. We really enjoyed all of the games and the theater room. The beds and bedding were all very comfortable and nice quality. Same for towels. The only thing I would warn about is that the road up to the house is quite steep, narrow, and winding. 2 of us had sedans and were able to make it just fine but there is a part of the road that is unpaved and a bit difficult. Also, you would not want to drive on this road at night. Also, the house has a lot of stairs so someone who isn’t comfortable with that might want to stay somewhere else. There are stairs to get to pretty much every part of this house as it is on a hillside. Overall, a wonderful place to stay!! ##### Gary G. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Weldon P. Jul 10, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing While the pictures were representative, the actual place was even better. 9 adults and 6 children (3-12) never had a lack of things to do and had plenty of space for everyone. The two game rooms provided things for all ages and the theater room got plenty of use. The view from the main floor deck was amazing. The only small things that we missed were an electric griddle (the griddle for the gas range was challenging for pancakes) and non stick fry pans (keeping eggs from sticking was problematic). We do realize that some people use metal utensils on those surfaces which result in scratches. The biggest drawback was that we had to leave!!! Thank you for providing this wonderful place! ##### Weldon P.

All the kids from age 4 to age 70 loved the games. - The house location is close to grocery shopping including a Dollar General grocery store which has a great selection and makes Walmart look expensive. - The mountain view is spectacular. - We loved the fire pit AND the fire pit on the deck that is propane fueled. - The house is spotless and very well appointed. - We had an issue with the AC in the game room and Corey, the maintenance person, brought a portable AC which worked perfectly. So I can attest that the management company is quick to respond. We loved our stay and Cardinal Ridge is amazing! Thanks for hosting us. ##### MaryAnn R.

We had an unforgettable stay at this incredible rental in the North Carolina mountains! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the breathtaking views — the property offers panoramic vistas of the mountains that are absolutely stunning, especially from the outdoor sitting area. We spent hours relaxing here, soaking in the views and enjoying the fresh mountain air. The home itself is spacious and thoughtfully designed, with plenty of room for everyone to spread out. The fully stocked kitchen made meal prep a breeze, and we loved cooking together and dining in the comfort of the home. The outdoor firepit area was another highlight — we gathered around at night enjoying the warmth and the clear mountain skies. One of the best features was the arcade and game rooms. Our family spent countless hours playing games and bonding — the kids (and adults!) were kept entertained for hours each day. The hot tub and sauna was also a perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring and hiking (we also also went white water rafting and mountain biking). One thing to note: The driveway up is long, CRAZY steep, and a bit perilous...not for the faint hearted! We loved it, but it was the middle of summer. We would definitely not stay here in winter months! Outside of the driveway, this property truly has everything you could want for a mountain getaway. It’s peaceful, spacious, and filled with all the amenities you need for a memorable family vacation. We didn't want to leave! ##### Teri E. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Charlene K. Jul 30, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Family Reunion This home was a wonderful place to accommodate our large family of 18. There were plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms to make everyone comfortable. Everyone enjoyed the amenities. The game room was a big hit. The firepit area was also very nice but a little tight to move around when you have a fire going. Having a little more yard space would have been nice for the kids. We had a few small issues that were fixed while we were there. The curtains fell down in the primary bedroom in the middle of the night and towel bars in a couple of the bathrooms also fell down. The biggest inconvenience was the clothes dryer. It did not work properly despite our attempts to try all settings. The property owners did try to rectify the problem but it never seemed to work correctly. It was a real issue with that many people for a week. I was told that previous guests had complained about the same issue. But they insisted they could not find anything wrong with it. The gravel portion of the driveway can be a real issue if it is raining or wet. If you have all wheel drive its no problem. The property is pretty far out but offers beautiful views from the deck. ##### Charlene K. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emma M.

Comfy beds, nice linens. One of the cleanest VRBO houses we have stayed in. Only comment would be an extra fridge. We utilized all beds available in house and only one fridge was right. The house does offer 2 large coolers to try and help accommodate. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 6 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lacrisia T.

There is plenty of space and lots to entertain you! They have thought of everything that you would need. I definitely recommend this property for family’s and friend’s trips. I will note that if roads are wet or icy then getting there is quite difficult. There was eight of us, so we rented a van to get there. We arrived after dark and found the roads were hard to maneuver through in the dark. Not a lot of lighting and roads were narrow. (We almost fell off the mountain at one turn.) So the next day we ended up having to rent two jeeps and returning the van without any refund. This cost us over double for vehicle rental. It rained most of the time we were there and didn’t want to risk slipping down the mountain. This of course is not the fault of the property owner just should be noted that 4 wheel drive is definitely needed. Again, I would definitely recommend this property!! ##### Lacrisia T.

I booked our stay 6 months in advance for a bachelorette weekend with 15 ladies. This house was perfect for us. The kitchen was fully equipped for us to cook daily and dine in together. Julia already had coffee, utensils, wine glasses, literally everything we needed (besides the food and condiments of course). The hot tub, arcade, fireplace, sauna was perfect so everyone could enjoy their activity of choice. The morning view was spectacular, will definitely book here again. All of the ladies commented about how stunning and perfect the cabin is. ##### Michala M.
