My family really enjoyed our stay at this lovely house in a great location. It is great proximity to a variety of activities, restaurants, and shopping and the hot tub was a great way to unwind after a long day of outdoor activities. Would definitely stay here again when we visit in the future.
The Cardinal Cottage is as adorable and serene as the photos and description claim. The location is so convenient to all the sites yet secluded and abundant with wildlife. We saw many deer and turkeys during our time there. Our host Shelby was most gracious and accommodating with our stay. We will definitely stay here again when visiting New River Gorge.
Our family had a terrific trip! We enjoyed the cottage very much. Kids loved the game room. Location was great for us for hiking and Adventures on the Gorge adventures.
The property was absolutely gorgeous and meticulously maintainedâit truly checked every one of our needs for this trip. From the moment we arrived, we were struck by how beautiful and well-kept everything was.The hosts' kindness and attentiveness were just as impressive. Shelby was an amazing hostâalways there to help if we encountered any issues and full of fantastic recommendations for both day hikes and local food.After a long day of hiking, the comfortable beds were extremely inviting. We especially appreciated the expansive property, where we were able to sit outside and relax. The location is perfect, being only a mile or two from the Endless Wall Trail.As for dining, we took Shelby's advice and would highly recommend Cathedral for breakfast, and Pies and Pints and Secret Sandwich Society for dinner.This was a truly wonderful trip that will stay in our memories forever. We would highly, highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a beautiful, comfortable stay with outstanding hosts!
We loved Cardinal Cottage. Location was perfect for all the hiking and sight-seeing we wanted to do. The house was very cute, very clean, and very well stocked. It had everything we needed. Host was extremely responsive. The neighborhood is quiet with glorious trees and some wildlife to observe. We could not have been happier.
Lovely home. Everything we needed. Only complaint is the hot tub water had a stinky odor and the firepit chairs were sticky. Besides that it was great.
We stayed for a week-long family trip to explore the New River Gorge National Park and the surrounding areas. The location was perfect, the house was so nicely renovated (cooking in the kitchen was dreamy!) and we thoroughly enjoyed the peace and quiet of the property. Everything was exactly as it is represented in the listing! The host has amazing communication and was able to quickly resolve any small issues we had. I highly recommend this location!
We wanted to see the New River Gorge & surrounding area and the Cardinal Cottage was the perfect place to stay. It had everything we needed including 2 king size beds. It was located in a peaceful setting on 11 acres. Our group consisted of 2 couples around 70 yrs old. The house had easy access and the 2 showers in the bathrooms were easy to get into. The owner was super responsive and answered all of our questions. We had a wonderful week!
They had everything you needed at the cottage. It was enjoyable to watch the deer, turkeys and bunny from the back deck each day. You are just a short 10-15 minute ride to the New River Gorge Park, which was so convenient for exploring. Not to mention if you forgot to pack something Walmart was only about 15 minutes away. Yes, we had to make two trips to Walmart during our 9 day stay. I suggest stopping at the Secret Sandwich Society for a meal. Their food and service was excellent. We had a wonderful time.
Cardinal cottage played host to a group of 6 couples and one dog. We had everything we needed and especially enjoyed the hot tub to soothe our aches after rafting and hiking. The views from the deck were also a highlight as we spent every morning and every evening watching deer and listening to bluegrass. Home is very close to a couple of great hiking trails, rafting outfitters, and the Burrito bar at Breeze Hill. The beds were comfortable and we appreciated the large kitchen for our group. We look furward to returning.
I stayed at this house with a group of friends who does an annual trip to the Fayetteville area at least every year. It was very clean and nicely decorated with good quality, bedding/linens, etc..
The general location was nice. Itâs a gorgeous area in general, but the house is very close to other houses, so if seclusion is important, know that it is not secluded, however, the way the house is set up with a larger porch facing the game room, fire pit, and a beautiful open meadow, it does feel private when you are out back. The hot tub, fire pit, and string lights really enhance the outdoor space. We loved the large TVs in the living room and bedrooms and enjoyed the high quality kitchen appliances.
We probably wouldnât go back in the winter because we like a fireplace, but we would definitely consider going back in the summer or early fall.
Property was in great shape and provided a peaceful retreat when done exploring the area for the day. Wildlife came up to the back of the property to add to the peacefulness.
The place is absolutely gorgeous, it is close to many things to do and I cannot recommend this place enough to anyone who needs a place to stay. The deer and turkeys visited everyday, and birds were plentiful. Our dog enjoyed the walk around.
Amazing and clean house with lots of room outdoors. We saw turkeys and deer everyday. Shelby was easy to reach and a wonderful host. Couldnât have asked for a better place to stay!
Perfect location for a peaceful stay near New River Gorge. It is close to everything ⊠restaurants in Fayetteville, Adventures on the Gorge, Babcock State Park, and even Summersville Lake.
My family and I loved our stay at the Cardinal Cottage. The location made for easy access to everything the New River Gorge has to offer, and we were able to bring our dogs along for the adventure. I'm sure we will be booking another stay at the cottage in the future.
First off. This property is within the national park with a plethora of hikes and scenic overlooks that are all under a 30 min drive. The house was very comfortable and clean. The property was private with wildlife all around. After a long day of hiking or rafting the hot tub was the perfect end. I would come back
