Pet Friendly The Cardinal Cabin 15MIN to Magnolia
The Cardinal is a popular cabin in our resort. Its festive decor will brighten your day. We hope you enjoy your stay! The Cardinal is our only pet friendly cabin.
The Space: Cardinal Cabin
Cardinal birds mate for life, which perhaps is why they are often viewed as expressing the harmony of life. They also frequently sing together—one bird trilling several phrases, which the other completes. In spring, the male conducts a courtship feeding, bringing his companion tidbits of food, their bills touching briefly as she accepts each offered morsel.
You and your significant other may also sing together about the Cardinal cabin as a temporary nesting site for two guests. A rocking chair for two invites you to relax on the porch. Inside, you can stretch out on the king-size bed or take advantage of the comfortable seating area.
The chefs among you will appreciate the kitchen area supplied with utensils, cookware, hot plate, microwave, refrigerator, and Keurig beverage maker. There is also a dining table and chairs where you can offer your loved one tidbits of food.
Need Internet access? Individual Wi-Fi is provided in the cabin. Have a Roku subscription? Stream your favorite content to the TV. A full list of amenities is below.
Conveniently located to local area attractions, the cabin is only 15 minutes from Homestead Heritage Craft Village, Magnolia Silos, and Baylor University, just to name a few.
We invite you to vacation a while in the Cardinal cabin. (And do not be surprised if you find yourself experiencing the harmony of life during your visit!)

Loved our stay at the Cardinal cabin! We’ve stayed at many resorts, from luxe to cabins, and this stay hit the mark for comfort (sheets and pillows so soft and high quality) and modern amenities, especially after a long day in Waco.

I loved the serene natural environment. Everything was clean and decorated to match cabin name. The kitchen and bathroom were full of amenities. We needed nothing. I loved all the windows and the porch swing. My little dog was so happy to have a safe place to chase his tennis ball. All good!
