This was our third time staying at this lovely, cozy cottage. We enjoyed it immensely once again. The hosts are so very kind and always quick to answer any questions. The cottage is clean and location is great - tucked away just a few miles from downtown Hendersonville. We’ll be back!

Our stay at the Cardinal Cottage was very enjoyable
and relaxing; just what we were looking for when we decided to visit from Florida for a short week. Lonnie was very responsive before and during our stay. She provided a detailed introduction to the house and property and offered us recommendations to local attractions. We are already talking about returning next year to the Hendersonville area and if we do, we will stay at the Cardinal Cottage.

Great stay, watching birds were great for there were so many that was not in out part of the world. Saw Pilates Woodpecker.
Best part of stay was enjoying the screened in porch. Great location for traveling part of the Blue Ridge Parkway.

After many trips to the mountains, we've come to love the Hendersonville/Mills River area. We chose this property because of its proximity to both.
Lonnie greeted us when we arrived and gave us a thorough tour. She may be the kindest person you'll ever meet. The kitchen is fully stocked, the beds are very comfortable, and that porch...oh my! We watched birds at breakfast and lunch on the porch and finished our nights there relaxing in the cool mountain air.
We visit the mountains regularly and I would absolutely rent this property again. It's secluded and cozy...a perfect little cottage.

We had a lovely, peaceful stay at Cardinal Cottage. Lonnie met us when we arrived and gave us a thorough intro to the house and advice for the area. The cottage is charming, clean, and super comfortable. We felt at home instantly. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. I learned some new birds - watching them at the feeders and in the trees.

The cottage is well located to visit the area attractions and only about 5 miles from downtown Hendersonville.
The cottage is clean , private and very well equipped .
The owners are available and helpful in answering all your questions.
So many birds came to the feeders. We saw at least 3 white squirrels and 3 deer grazing in an open area. We were happy we booked the cottage. Will definitely return.

This is a charming cottage in a great location, easy access to Hendersonville and Asheville and surrounding areas. The cottage is private and in a beautiful setting, with everything you need for a few days, a week or even longer. The beds are extremely comfortable and all the linens and towels are luxurious. The owners are wonderful, quick to answer any questions and to offer great suggestions on places to go or eat in the area.

Spring Adventure
Our second stay at the Cardinal Cottage was just as lovely as the first. Our hosts were super helpful with any and all needs, as well as being kind, wonderful people. We loved the peace and quiet of the area, and the convenience to Asheville, Hendersonville, and Pisgah National Forest. So much beauty everywhere this time of the year! We didn't want to leave!

This was the second time we’ve stayed at the Cardinal Cabin and it was just as we remembered it. We have stayed both times in February, and the cabin was warm and inviting both times. The bird feeder gets lots of birds that are fun to see and the location is out in the woods but still close to things to do in the area. One day, we hope to stay when it is warm enough to use the lovely screened in porch!

It is difficult to get a feel for lodging based on internet ads and pictures. Even reviews can be misleading...people who write them come from all walks of life and situations. But if you are looking for someplace peaceful, clean, and quiet (my three major criteria) and well located for outings to Asheville and Hendersonville, Cardinal Cottage is the place to stay. In my opinion it is underpriced and a great value. VRBO pics do not do it justice. It has all the modern amenities. But what makes Cardinal Cottage even more exceptional are its owners...their kindness, thoughtfulness, and efforts to make your stay all that you hoped it would be. Obviously I recommend it highly, so much so that I will not visit the area unless Cardinal Cottage is available.
