Cardinal's View Lodge
Location: Blowing Rock Cabin Rental South Hwy 221
Type: Log Homes
View: Year-Round Mountain View
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:
- 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.

There are enough of these items for one night, or maybe two. We do not provide hair dryers.

Gorgeous home with a truly unbelievable view. We felt right at home and it was the coziest Fall weekend. We will absolutely be back!- Nina, Posted: 11/03/2023
The view was fantastic!! We were very happy with everything.- Cecilia, Posted: 10/23/2023
Property was clean with many amenities. Steep drive way, so other reviews corrected in saying all wheel or four wheel drive recommended. Views are awesome and good location for visiting Blowing Rock and Parkway. Would definitely stay here again- John, Posted: 09/12/2023
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!- Sandy, Posted: 08/15/2023
We had a wonderful time at the cabin! Spectacular views and very clean cabin! We will be back!!- John, Posted: 06/23/2023
Beautiful place with an exceptional view.- IstváN, Posted: 05/30/2023
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 !!- Tobie, Posted: 05/18/2023
Excellent cabin- extremely clean and tons of beds for kids with space. Everything was as listed, and we would definitely use again next time in the area.- Ben, Posted: 04/06/2023
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!- Joe, Posted: 04/03/2023
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.- Andres, Posted: 03/02/2023
Views are incredible, place was clean, spacious and it felt like home. I would recommend this place to anyone I know and I can’t wait to keep coming back.- Andres, Posted: 02/28/2023
Can’t wait to come back already- the house is comfortable and clean- lots of space and incredible scenery and views…thank you!- Reagan, Posted: 02/27/2023
The stay was perfect. The house was great and had everything we could have asked for. In addition the view cannot be done justice by any amount of pictures. We will absolutely stay here again if we are in the area.- James, Posted: 02/09/2023
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!!!!- Betsy, Posted: 01/18/2023
We absolutely loved our Christmas stay and it was even decorated perfectly! We will definitely be back in the summer time!!!?- Brittany, Posted: 01/02/2023
The cabin was absolutely beautiful and very clean! The view was fantastic. We will definitely be back.- Teresa, Posted: 12/15/2022
Easy 5 stars. Cabin had everything you could possibly need from kitchen utensils to board games for the kids. Views from the fire pit/hot tub are incredible. Little bit of a drive into town but that was expected. The views are worth it. Highly recommend.- Rj, Posted: 12/09/2022
Both the view, amenities and the cleanliness of the house prior to our arrival made for a great experience.- Alex, Posted: 11/22/2022
Great place to get away. A little bit of a difficult drive to town but the place is beautiful, secluded, and just as advertised. Would definitely stay here again.- Aj, Posted: 11/08/2022
We loved our stay the house is beautiful and clean. We would definitely be back- Kate, Posted: 11/01/2022
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.- Nancy, Posted: 08/22/2022
