Tucked away on two peaceful acres in Mineral Bluff, Cardinal Lodge is more than just a mountain escape, it’s a place to reconnect, reflect, and breathe deep. Thoughtfully renovated and artfully designed, this four-bedroom retreat blends soulful character with natural beauty, offering the perfect setting for rest, restoration, and making memories.

From the moment you step inside, the atmosphere is both calming and captivating. Vaulted ceilings and architectural windows flood the living room with natural light, drawing your eyes to the stunning floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace. Nearly every detail, from the custom finishes to the original artwork, has a story to tell. Much of the art throughout the home is the work of Jacqueline Morelisse, a renowned artist and the owner's mother-in-law, adding layers of personal history and meaning to each space.

The heart behind the name is just as thoughtful. Inspired by the owner's law firm, Cardinal Lodge nods to the symbolism of the cardinal itself, a spiritual messenger believed to represent love, hope, and the presence of those we’ve lost. It’s a fitting name for a home that feels tranquil, healing, and full of quiet beauty.

The cabin offers four bedrooms and three baths, with two king bedrooms on the main level, a queen on the lower level, and a cozy bunk room with four twin beds and a crib, ideal for families or groups traveling with kids. The living spaces are warm and welcoming, with curated décor collected from years of travel, and a custom kitchen outfitted for easy entertaining.

Step outside, and experience the quiet of nature. The expansive deck is a true highlight, with an outdoor fireplace and lounge seating perfect for sunrise coffee, sunset cocktails, or simply gazing at the stars. With mountain views in every direction and the sounds of nature all around, it’s a space that invites you to slow down and savor the moment.

Located just minutes from the Toccoa River and outdoor favorites like Old Toccoa Farm, Mercier Orchards, and downtown Blue Ridge, Cardinal Lodge is perfectly positioned for both peaceful retreat and mountain adventure.

Our stay in Mineral Bluff, Georgia was absolutely outstanding. The house exceeded all expectations, we especially loved the outdoor spaces. The outdoor fireplace was one of our favorite spots, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the peaceful surroundings. The home was fully equipped with every amenity a large family could possibly need. It truly felt comfortable and cozy, yet spacious at the same time. The area was incredibly quiet and relaxing , exactly what we needed. Definitely a 10/10 experience. I highly recommend this place and would love to come back!

Happy New Year!
We had an amazing stay! The host was very responsive, friendly, and easy to communicate with. The space was spotless and beautifully maintained, exactly as shown in the listing photos. The location was perfect—quiet, yet convenient to everything we wanted to do. The home felt thoughtfully curated, from the comfortable bed to the well-stocked kitchen and little extra touches that made it feel upscale and welcoming. Check-in and check-out were effortless. We’d happily stay here again and highly recommend it!

Amazing Scenery!
I loved everything about this cabin ! From the beautiful decor and amenities to the amazing scenery. The host left a nice and detailed book of how to take care of the home and even gave us a mini gift box upon arrival. I would say be very aware of how steep and dark this area is during the winter and night. The house is on a hill so be mindful ! I would recommend this company and cabin to anyone and plan on returning ! Thank you for a wonderful time.

This house was really spacious and very clean. It basically had all the features we were looking for and not too far outside town. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. It was great!

The home is beautifully appointed, and we especially enjoyed using the fireplaces, both indoors and out. Our family from Kansas City to Naples, Florida found this to be a great mid-point vacation stay to celebrate 3 fall birthdays. The home is spacious and a relaxing retreat for such an occassion. This was a fabulous get-away and exposed our family to a new area that none of us had been to. We truly had a terrific family getaway!
