We've stayed at Mike's place multiple times. It's great every time. Our go-to Black Mountain rental. The property is clean, well stocked and has everything we need. The proximity to downtown is fantastic. We walked everywhere (shopping, restaurants). Looking forward to our next stay already!

Perfect Black Mountain Getaway

Perfect place to stay park your car and walk to anywhere you need to go in Black Mountain. Easy short drive to great hiking in Montreat. The house and yard were equally welcoming with everything you would need. The extra touch of having a full bird feeder outside the living room window added to our relaxation. Looking forward to booking again.

Private and close to downtown.

The place was really clean and beautifully decorated. The location is great for privacy and if you want to walk downtown. The bird watching was a nice addition to our trip. It is also a great location to drive to Asheville and hiking trails. The only downside was it mentioned having a hot tub, there was no hot tub. I think they meant a tub.

Fishing Trip

The property is beautiful. The yard is well kept and creatively landscaped. The cottage is correctly named, Cardinal, as birds are everywhere. The inside is well decorated and felt very homey. The kitchen is well equipped. My few complaints were lack of toilet paper and paper towels. We also didn't know the small key was to open the basement for washer and dryer access. These complaints will not keep from staying here again.

Lovely cottage in park-like setting

If you love nature and quaint cottages that are well-decorated and well-maintained, this is the perfect house for you. It had everything we needed. I enjoyed sitting on the little porch one morning and hearing the catbird mimic other birds, with the occasional crow chiming in. The lovely landscaping and large oak tree in the front yard create a relaxing setting that welcomes not only guests but the local wildlife. A little bunny hopped out of the bushes right in front of me and a chipmunk came within inches of my foot on the porch before perching on the edge to observe his kingdom. The bird decor inside tells you that this is a family that loves the natural world. We enjoyed walking to breakfast downtown and to Lake Tomahawk. It was conveniently located near Montreat and not too far to Asheville and the Blue Ridge Parkway. Our only regret is we didn’t have another day to enjoy a longer stay.

Come for the Cardinals, stay for the experience

A wonderful, very comfortable home in a beautiful spot. We were there at the height of the Fall colors. Our first trip to the area from New Mexico and we were instantly smitten by the gorgeous mountains, amazing hardwood trees with brilliant colors, gorgeous weather, fantastic hiking very close by and great food nearby. Cardinals View is a welcoming, well equipped home that enhanced the enchanted experience.

Excellent Location

We enjoyed staying at Cardinal's View. The home is comfortable and very well equipped. It is a short walk to the shops and restaurants and Lake Tomahawk. The only issue was the very high counter top in the bathroom. My husband is 6 feet tall and he could only see his neck up in the mirror. There was no hope for my petite stature to see more than the top of my head. Lol! Love the bird feeder outside the sitting room window. We are members of the Audubon Society and love birds. Perfect place to spend a relaxing and peaceful vacation.

Comfortable and great location

Within walking distance from town and 2 miles from Montreat. Quick access to interstate highway and only 25 minutes from Biltmore estate. The house and neighborhood were very quiet. My wife was very impressed by the selection of spices and cooking items. Relaxed with coffee on the front porch and watched birds and squirrels.

May-June 2022 Stay at Cardinal's View

Loved this property and the town of Black Mountain. Wanted to get a sense of the town over a longer period (45 days) and really fell in love with it. The property was beautiful, inside and out, expertly designed and landscaped. Kitchen had everything one could possibly want and the beds and furniture were super comfortable. My wife and I worked remotely during our stay and the internet performed perfectly. The property is easy walking distance into town and to Lake Tomahawk, which we did to both quite often. The town has a number of good restaurants and cool little shops and, of course, is surrounded by beautiful mountains. Mike is a very responsive host and , again, the property is beautiful, very comfortable and lacks for nothing. I would not hesitate to recommend this property to others and will very likely return myself.
