Cozy Mountain Villa with a wonderful view!

Very clean with everything you need for a relaxing time in the mountains. The property managers, Jerry & Sally Mass, went above & beyond to answer any questions and see that we had everything we needed. The view of the mountains while we drank our morning coffee was beautiful. We enjoyed our stay 10/17-10/23. Ralph & Barbara Stinson-Florida

Our condo was very clean and fullfilled all of our needs! Very easy access to and quiet community! Very safe to take morning walks. Your reps, Sally & Jerry, were only a phone call away, if we needed them. It's a beautiful location! We even saw a pretty fox! This is our 2nd stay there. We'll go back.

Amazing view

We had an amazing long weekend here. The condo is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. Everything we needed was there. We thoroughly enjoyed the amazing patio and the view is spectacular. For such a view, it is a relatively easy drive but do try to get there before dark. It is an easy drive to Franklin. I would definitely stay again.

Vacation Let Down!!

We set off on our trip to the mountains to a place that advertised a beautiful view!! We arrived at this property only to find the owners were there. They decided to come for the week even though the property was rented. When we told them that we had rented the property they acted as if it was no big deal that they decided to come and we could just stay at another place. This property is managed by a third party, who was as surprised as we were that the owners just showed up. The property manager promptly moved us to another place that was significantly smaller and had NO view of mountains......which is why we were there in the first place!!! They also gave us a significant refund for part of the stay. We appreciated there immediate attentiveness to us and it was not there fault. HOWEVER.....if you can't communicate with the owners enough to prevent this type of behavior then maybe you should drop the property and rent other places. Totally Unacceptable!!!!

Outstanding View

Didn't give 5 stars on cleanliness as the oven was in dire need of a cleaning. Needed a peaceful getaway with a wonderful view and Cardinal's Nest more than delivered. Thanks!

Perfect!

Cardinals Nest is the perfect place to escape to! I live in a very small place nearby and booked this for my family visiting from out of town. It is roomy yet cozy, perfectly decorated, and so well appointed! The owners have thought of absolutely everything. The view is spectacular! Our only problem had nothing to do with the house; it was due to the crazy weather. The snow and ice kept us stranded up there for a couple days until it was safe to navigate the road in and out...but if you're going to get stuck somewhere, there couldn't be a better spot. I highly recommend the Cardinals Nest!

Loved the villa and view

The villa was very relaxing and beautiful. Everything that I needed seemed to be there. The view was awesome. I've been to the mountains many times but the view there was the best. Loved it😍
