About this property

Callaway is in Bloom. Comfy cabin nestled in Nature at Spring Rates

Whether you plan to celebrate a honeymoon or anniversary, or enjoy a few days of "family time", we welcome you to Casa Cardinal. Rock on the porch, or go for long walks in the woods, then enjoy cooking in a completely outfitted kitchen. Savor the sounds of nature, or watch streaming TV. This is a custom built cabin offering a peaceful retreat! and located, literally, at the end of the road at Mountain Top. As you'll see from the most sweeping porch in the resort, cardinals, hummingbirds, deer and other wood critters appreciate the remoteness, and so will you.

All year 'round, you'll enjoy the ever changing panorama from the porch rockers and swing: spring blooms, summer shade, or cascade of fall color. If you're a winter hiker, you'll return to a roaring fire in the stone fireplace. Two bedrooms, two baths and a loft - sleeps 4 adults and 2 children comfortably. The decor is comfy without being too frilly, or too "country"... just your "home away from home". The entrance ramp and interior, master bath and bedroom, were built to accommodate guests with mobility restrictions on the first floor but is not completely to ADA. On a rainy afternoon, the upstairs loft provides a comfy reading nook, skylight and a second full bath. Fully furnished for a weekend, or a few weeks, "mi casa es tu casa".

Casa Cardinal is located a few miles from Callaway Gardens and Warm Springs, in a small private development surrounded by FDR Park. Picturesque setting, well outfitted kitchen with full sized stove, refrigerator, microwave, and coffee maker, and all the pots, utensils, glassware and dishes you’ll need!

Kim, Ali and Stefani invite you to share our take on tranquility.

Amazing Getaway in the Woods!
This cabin was perfect for my wife and I and her parents, and it had plenty of room to spare! If you're looking for a quiet mountain getaway, this is your place. The woods behind the property were beautiful to walk through, but pay attention to the neighboring property's "No trespassing" paint markers on the trees along the property line. Can't wait to come back!

The property was as listed online. The cabin was very clean and quaint! It is a very quiet location. We enjoyed just being in nature. It is very close to Warm Springs and the Little White House which is a very interesting piece of history to visit. Kim was very prompt to answer any questions and concerns we had!

Great stay, ramp issue
Great place to stay. Only problem we had was that even though there was a ramp for my father, who is in a wheelchair, it was not easy getting him from the vechicle to the ramp. There was gravel, which i understand why it is there. Would be nice to have ramp more accessible

Peaceful and quiet getaway!
We loved this cabin! It was just what we were looking for to get away for our anniversary! Being at the end of the road , we had gorgeous woods on one side that made sitting in the rocking chairs on the porch just so quiet and peaceful! The shopping was amazing and the food we ate in the many restaurants was delicious! We will definitely return!

A little piece of heaven...
Our week at Casa Cardinal was absolutely perfect. If you are looking for relaxation and still not far from all of the fun things to do in Pine Mountain/Callaway Gardens, then look no further. Kim was incredible to communicate with regarding our stay. Casa Cardinal is so clean & quaint and had everything we needed to make our week-long stay relaxing. I found myself sitting on the porch just listening and watching for wildlife - my idea of relaxation. It was close to everything we wanted to do: hiking, biking, swimming at the Liberty Bell Pool, exploring the little towns...it was just perfect! Thank you, Kim, for everything!

About the host

Hosted by KIM M. LEWIS

Host profile image
Kim, Ali and Stefani welcome you to our beloved log cabin and hope you make your own family memories! We three (mother & daughters) built the cabin to be a place of peace and spirituality-- a place to enjoy nature and one another. Over the years, we have hiked, biked and horseback ridden pretty much all of Callaway Gardens, FDR park, Warm Springs, LaGrange, Westpoint and surrounding countryside. A former military family, we still travel the world, but love to return to Casa Cardinal, to rock on the porch, enjoy the fireplace, play board games and enjoy photography. Now that reliable internet has arrived;-) we particularly enjoy sharing our home-away with other foreign service and military members and their families, teachers, authors & artists, and all who are young at heart or who find the flora and fauna, as well as rich history and outdoors activities in the area, a welcomed change of pace.

Why they chose this property

With roots in Atlanta, but a life spent in Florida, Callaway Gardens was a family "stop" along the oft traveled road in-between. On one such stop, to marvel at the Christmas Fantasy of Lights at Callaway Gardens, Kim, Ali and Stefani found Mountain Top Resort was being planned, near FDR park and above Callaway Gardens. We chose the lot literally at the end of road, bordering the forest and brimming with fireflies and birdlife. We intended our cabin to be a place to relax, observe and enjoy nature and our own ever-changing lives. From the start, young Stefani (later an architectural student and designer) had clear ideas as to how to build and furnish our cabin. Over the years, Ali (now an ER Doc) and Kim (slow retiring from DOD) also brought items which reflect our international travels and interests, yet fit harmoniously into our simple place. When the girls were small, the surrounding attractions offered safe but beautiful trails for them to explore; as they grew up, the cabin, Callaway and day-trips to Atlanta's great museums, shopping and restaurants made our cabin the perfect place to share with friends. Designed with future accessibility and space utility in mind, we three plan to keep the cabin for decades to come and to continue to enjoy the seasons of our family's life, as much as the panorama of nature's changing annual seasons. We hope you will do likewise, as our guests.

What makes this property unique

There are many log cabins sprinkled around Pine Mountain and Warm Springs, but our cabin was one of the first. We situated our cabin to allow for privacy and proximity to woodlands nature. We enjoy morning coffee on the porch, rocking or porch-swinging; and evening wine as the sun sets and the wood fire in the fireplace is started. The downstairs master has a sauna and walk-in shower with a built in seat. Upstairs, the girls' room, has a skylight which often showcases a passing moon, as well as a loft for reading or naps. A metal roof allows just the right amount of soothing patter on the roof when the rains come. It's simple, but cozy and convenient. Internet allows for one, streaming, TV; a dishwasher and stackable washer/dryer make the cabin modern. If you like the all white sterility of chain hotels, then our cabin is not for you. If you prefer the peace and quiet, and tasteful colors and textures of nature, then you will find your comfy escape here.
