What a great location! Everything was as listed when we arrived. We do not give top stars lightly but we could not have asked for better directions, ease of check in, everything as it looked in the pictures, clear expectations at the house as to how to work and leave items, and everything in working order. Among our top rental experiences and the cabin was enjoyed by our group. If we have reason to be back in the area, we hope The Cardinal will be available.

Short WeekendTrip

Property was beautiful with more than enough sleeping quarters for our group. Gas company had turned off the gas prior to our arrival to do some repairs so the hot water heater pilot light was out. We called management and they responded quickly! They were very helpful and made some wonderful suggestions for us to check out while on our stay. Even though the property description was accurate on distance to Winterplace VRBO had it listed a lot closer. Overall stay was wonderful would love to stay again!

Cabin needs cleaning

The cabin was nice and comfortable but it wasn't very clean. The cabin needs to be cleaned properly, there was food inbetween one of the downstairs mattresses and the wall. There was also a lot of dusty inside, especially under the beds and other furniture.

Enjoyable family vacation

We spend 5 nights at the Cardinal at the end of May. It was more than enough room for our family of 4. We found the kitchen well stocked for cooking and eating at home. We used the charcoal grill and the fire pit for s’mores. It was easy to gather some sticks to make a fire from the wooded area behind the house. The place was clean and updated. If I was going to make a suggestion it would be to have some extra blankets on hand for the beds, the first couple nights were quite cool and I could have used another layer on my bed. The Cardinal is located just minutes from the main gate of Pipestem State Park where we spent most of our days hiking, swimming at the lake, riding the aerial tram, and playing at the adventure zone - we got the all inclusive day pass and it was well worth the money and a lot of fun! Overall I would absolutely recommend the Cardinal for families, couples, and friends looking for some time away.

Absolutely atrocious directions. "Go a few miles".... how about thee owners or property maintenance folks actually go out and measure true distances?!?! Poorly maintained. Two key boxes, none of which made any sense, only to be told when we called to ask for help- oh, we know, the bottom box should have been removed a long time ago. To start- why on Gods green earth should my son and husband spend 2 hours cleaning the walkway of ice/ frozen snow to make it safe for any of us to walk on?Lastly, and why we left a full day early- we found LIVE bugs in the beds. The master bed had "organic debris" from previous guests... on stained sheets to boot. Two missing smoke detectors in the upstairs bedrooms/ hallway area. When we gave up on using the master bed when we found all of the nastiness left over from another guest, only to sleep on beds that felt like they belonged in a prison instead. I attempted calling / texting all three numbers left as contact numbers, and got no response from any of them. I've got the screen shots/ photos/ videos on anll of these items as well. All in all- ranks pretty high on the "don't EVER stay again" list. Safe yourself the time- book the Pipestem Lodge instead. It's closer to the park entrance, clean, far more amenities, and a fraction of the price.

Lovely location, buuuut

While the location was beautiful and the cabin layout acceptable, we were taken aback at how dirty it was. The kitchen floor was not swept, the counters had food caked on them, dishes in the cabinets had dried food on them, and multiple bathrooms had black-looking mold from water leaks. It was not a relaxing experience to start a vacation by deep cleaning. It is very unlikely we will return or recommend this particular cabin.
