Description Description
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.
