Description Description
Discover the best kept secret of the Blue Ridge at Cardinal's Cove! A stay at this well-equipped cabin puts you a stone's throw from shops and dining in the Village of Cheshire, and just a mile from beautiful downtown Black Mountain.

Cardinal's Cove features soaring ceilings, stunning architectural details, and double covered decks. Cozy up by the wood fireplace in the living area and watch your favorite shows on the flat-screen TV. Show off your culinary skills in the fully equipped kitchen! After a fun-filled day, a soak in the jetted tub will relax you for a good night's rest. Wake up to the surrounding natural beauty and cool mountain breeze. A queen sleeper sofa on the main level provides another sleeping area, and a full bath on both floors makes everyone happy! Note that the lower level bedroom is only accessible down a flight of exterior stairs off the covered back deck. Find your new favorite place to be among the trees at Cardinal's Cove!

Groups are welcome! The six Village of Cheshire Cabins are situated together along a wooded path, making them ideal for reunions, retreats, and group gatherings. Check out Blue Jay's Perch, Chickadee's Hatch, Wild Turkey's Roost, Woodpecker's Hollow, and Wren's Den!

Designed to offer the convenience and simplicity of a timeless place, this peaceful community fosters a healthy quality of life where shops, dining, fitness, and recreation are all a short distance away. It's a smooth, scenic drive to either Black Mountain or downtown Asheville, both offering celebrated culinary and entertainment scenes.

Important Property Notes
• The bedroom at Cardinal's Cove is located on the lower level, which is only accessible by using a covered exterior 2-tiered set of stairs. If going outside to go between the main cabin and the bedroom level is an issue for your group, or if you have limitations concerning staircases please ask a Vacation Planner about the different floor plans that are available at the Village of Cheshire Cabins.
• Guests must furnish their own firewood to use the wood fireplace.
• While the cabin is surrounded by trees, traffic can be heard from the nearby road, particularly during peak commuting hours.
• A visit to the Village of Cheshire provides an authentic mountain experience. Please be prepared to encounter rough terrain such as steep, unpaved trails and stone stairs when walking to your cabin from the parking area. Appropriate footwear and easy-to-carry luggage is strongly suggested.

Very clean, cozy, and had everything we needed.
Great place to stay! The location in Black Mountain is excellent. A little tricky to find, but great once you get there. Be aware that there is a very steep staircase that you must climb in order to access the property. Very clean, cozy, and had everything we needed. We will be back!

Perfect vacation stay and will be booking again!
Carolina Mornings is an excellent service. Sparkling clean property, world class scenery, extremely accommodating employees. Will be booking again!

There's nothing quite like listening to a stream right outside the door!
There's nothing quite like listening to a stream right outside the door! The porch is lovely. The dogs loved all the places to explore right there in the Village of Cheshire. And we loved all the places to explore in nearby Black Mountain. While the cabin is surrounded by other homes, it feels very private, tucked in the trees up a steep set of stone stairs. I guess I'd call the place quirky.

Me and my dog enjoyed our stay!
A good location with lots of places to walk my lovely dog.

First time in NC and the cabin is pretty amazing!
We are from Miami. First time in NC and Asheville. First time in a cabin. Pretty amazing. The cabin was beautiful and in a good location close to everything we needed. We loved it and would stay again.

We enjoyed it
We really enjoyed staying in this cabin for our family vacation to Black Mountain. We loved making a fire in the evenings after getting back from hikes and breweries. We also took advantage of the Mountain Discovery pass that came with the listing to get a free pass to the Biltmore, which was a great added value! As other reviewers have noted, we thought the design of the house with the bedroom accessible only by going outside was a bit odd, but ultimately it didn't affect us during our stay.

Quiet and Serene
The neighborhood! Great for walking and loved the restaurants that we could walk to. The quiet and serene stream.

Very Clean and Comfortable
This cozy cabin in Cheshire Village was a hit for the kids in a snow storm. They can get out and explore and you can hear them playing from the porches. The beds and linens were very comfortable and clean. The jetted tub was also very nice. We will visit again and again.
Corrina W from USA - Posted: 6/21/2022 - Stayed from: 1/14/2022 to 1/17/2022

Loved the Cabin
We loved the cabin, neighborhood and location. There was a nice playground, areas to walk, and a creek that can be seen/heard from the deck.

Black Mountain is Great to Explore
The property is beautiful! Loved the babbling brook, the walk around the neighborhood and the walk to the Black Bear Tavern. Oh, and being able to build a fire all 3 days was so great! We wanted to be in a 'log cabin in the woods' and we truly were!!! We would LOVE to come back.
Sue M from USA - Posted: 4/14/2022
Black Mountain is the Best
We enjoyed staying in Black Mountain. The neighborhood is beautiful, welcoming, and with great hiking spots. Our fido loved it here. Food at Que Sera and Trailhead was delicious. We hope to come back in a different season of the year.
Catia S from USA - Posted: 3/24/2022
Amazing and Comfortable Place
What an amazing and comfortable place! Loved my time here and I’m sad that I have to leave. Hope I can come another time next year, maybe in the fall or spring to experience the different seasons.

Relaxing Cabin
We had a great and relaxing time in this cabin. It gave us time away from our health care jobs to recharge.

Very pleased!

Perfect for a couple looking for a weekend getaway in a friendly and quiet mountain neighborhood!
Loren M from Charleston, SC - Posted: 1/7/2021
The main floor and outside were out of a magazine gorgeous - to die for. I felt like I was wrapped in warm wood. I had a wonderful time. We had a positive experience with Carolina Mornings and this property - we would recommend. 5-star cleanliness and bedding - kitchen was well stocked.
Linda T from Camden, SC - Posted: 12/4/2020

Very clean! Thought having a bedroom downstairs and having to go outside to get there would be bad but it was actually neat. Very quiet. Highly recommended!!
