As you enter Cardinal Ridge, you are greeted with a beautifully crafted mountain house. Outfitted with hardwood floors, custom finishes, and panoramic windows, you feel right at home while you take in the views of the surrounding mountains. The entryway leads to a large, well-appointed kitchen, stocked with all the supplies you would need to cook a gourmet meal. The adjoining dining area has scenic views from every angle and can set up to 14 (an additional four seats are available at the bar for larger groups).
The spacious family room has a gas-burning stone fireplace, 75 inch flat-screen Smart TV, ample seating, and gorgeous mountain views off the back window. Off the living area are two of the house's King suites, each equipped with a king bed set, en suite bath and a flat-screen TV. One of the two also has an attached nursery (crib and changing table included) for those traveling with little ones.
Beyond the living room is Cardinal Ridge's arcade, a two-story game room, with 750 sq ft of space. Between shuffleboard, pop-a-shot, foosball, skeeball, darts, and dance-dance revolution, as well as an assortment of arcade and pinball machines, you will never run out of ways to stay entertained.

Great place to get away and enjoy nature. Amazing views, peaceful and very private. Love all the games and arcades for entertainment.

Our family of 13 had plenty of space and enjoyed our stay tremoundously. The location was great to go rafting and visit downtown Asheville. Hope to visit again next year!
5.0 / 5.0
Everything as advertised, except better! Excellent location for a large family gathering or bachelor/eye party outside of Asheville, secluded property, gorgeous Mountain views. The host has thought of every detail, and it shows. Extremely responsive, communicative, and friendly host. We asked if there were coolers for a river trip and she thought this was a good idea and obtained two large coolers for us to use prior to our arrival. Hope to have a reason to come back!
5.0 / 5.0
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!!

This gorgeous home has been updated and it had everything your family may need! From the video games to the game room, theater and hot tub, to the many places to gather and kind sized beds in almost every room… there was something for everyone, from infant to senior!
5.0 / 5.0
This was a wonderful place to stay. The house was immaculate! 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!!

Great property

We were so happy to stay at this beautiful location to rest and recharge while spending time with family. The pictures do not do it justice and we enjoyed our time here so much. We enjoyed touring the parks and sites, then returning to share a meal with family, hang by the fire and have competitions on the arcade games. Would love to return.

We had an incredible time at Cardinal
Ridge! The biggest challenge we encountered is that we didn’t want to leave! We are a bunch of old folks and acted as if we were kids the whole time there. We loved ALL the entertainment options! And the house is so pretty and well decorated. Honestly, it’s perfect!
5.0 / 5.0
Highly recommend! Accommodations were clean and very nice! We had 20 people and it was perfect! Love the movie room and game rooms! Would love to go back and stay again!

This place is more beautiful in person. 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.
5.0 / 5.0
The property is exactly as stated. The host is excellent at handling questions, and her attention to details makes you feel most welcome. The house has stunning views, and so much to entertain your family. We can’t wait to go back for another stay.

This is a beautiful property and a great place for our extended family to get away for a few days.
5.0 / 5.0
Perfect for our family ranging in age from 8-76. Boys were enthralled with the game room, the arcade room, and the pool table room. Bedrooms and baths worked well for our group and the kitchen was well-supplied for the cooking we did. The driveway is a humdinger though.
4.0 / 5.0
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.
5.0 / 5.0
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!
5.0 / 5.0
Amazing house!!! The accommodations were perfect. Very clean, lots of room. Playroom, movie room, hot tub, and karaoke fun! The scenery was breathtaking. Owner was responsive and willing to make any accommodations. Thank you for an amazing weekend!!
5.0 / 5.0
We had a lot of people joining our family reunion from a baby to one in their 70's and the house was outfitted for us all.
- The bedroom with the nursery was perfect and the nursery has a crib and changing table.
- The game rooms ... how can I add to this? 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.
