My husband, pup, and I stayed here a few nights after the new year. The cabin was such a lovely place to watch the snowfalls. We also loved bird watching and seeing the deer. Kitchen was well-stocked so we stayed put, relaxing and playing games. Thank you for a relaxing start to 2025!

We really enjoyed our stay at this house. It was super clean and met all our families needs and wants. The hot tub was very clean and a nice addition to our stay. Beds were comfy and we had everything we needed in the kitchen. Thank you to the owner who even decorated for Christmas as we were having a Christmas get together with our son and his family, and the house was just perfect! Our grandson loved the game room. You will not be disappointed with this rental!

What a neat place to stay, everything was very clean. Very close to hiking trails. We got to see the northern lights and a meteor shower while sitting in the hot tub our second night. Also got to see a bear along the road when headed to town. Host was super quick to respond to some questions we had. Game room is a nice bonus as well. Will stay here again.

We forgot to write in the journal but there were 3 adults and our Westie who stayed in the cottage. We loved seeing all the deer and turkeys in the area. Our family reunion was at Adventures on the Gorge and this cottage was only 10 minutes away from all the family and activities. It worked out great! Thanks again for a great stay!

Our group loved this property for our visit to New River Gorge National Park. Great location. Property has a lot of personality. Communication with the host was excellent throughout. We enjoyed the large dining room table and living room sofa, as well as the hot tub. The two king beds were super comfortable and we slept great. Thanks for a fantastic stay!

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.

Property was even better than advertised! Very clean, close to MANY attractions, quiet, plenty of room for six adults, friendly and responsive owner, and deer are literally there every day laying in the field. Check out the endless wall hike that is very close and you may make friends with a random goat. :) Would highly recommend! Gave my son and I memories that will last forever.

Perfect home and location near New River Gorge. We hiked, rock climbed and rafted each day. We stayed very active, so the hot tub and comfy beds were a blessing. The family also enjoyed the game room in the evenings. The house is very close to Fayetteville, which had great options for food.

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.

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.

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!

The home is well appointed and situated close to all the major attractions while still providing a secluded, country experience. The bonus game room was a real treat as well, especially for our older teenage boys. The wildlife and well-groomed path around the property were a great touch. We saw deer every evening in the field. We would definitely stay again!

We truly enjoyed staying at this property. The location is perfect for exploration of the Canyon rim area and for excursions for rafting and exploration of the local town of Fayetteville. The property is on several acres with a beautiful pasture. Tons of wildlife to include deer, turkeys, and rabbits. We truly enjoyed every morning and evening, watching all of the Wildlife enjoying the peace of the backyard The evenings were made more enjoyable with the hot tub The property manager and owner was very responsive. If you enjoy small hikes, endless wall is close and highly recommend. West Virginia is an absolutely beautiful area and we cannot wait to return. Thank you we will be back!

Everyday was an adventure for our group of two couples from NJ who travel together every year. Biking (downhill was the best!), eating out at Gaines Estates and other local restaurants, grilling in, boating, and more biking were some of the highlights of our trip. We were all able to get a good night sleep for each of the five nights of our stay. The wildlife in the backyard was a bonus. Kitchen was well-stocked! Wild and wonderful time. We love West Virginia.

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 had a wondeful time at the Cardinal Cottage. From walking in to a fresh, clean smell to the great layout and newness everywhere we coud habe not been happier. The kids loved the outbuilding game room fully equpped wih TV, fusball table, wifi, and AC. They spent a lot of time out there. The main trails were within 10 minutes. We would definitely stay here again. I would highly recommend it!

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.

We stayed at the Cardinal Cottage while we were looking at homes for sale in WV. It was so refreshing to be able to go back the the cottage and unwind and destress in the hot tub from all the frustrations house hunting brings. Our pups loved their walks around the property and just being outside in the fresh air (its always too hot for them in SWFL). This is the best lil escape one can have while still feeling like home away from home! We enjoyed our stay beyond words….thank you for allowing us to enjoy the home!

We just spent the holiday weekend at this cottage and it exceeding our expectations! The home itself is beautiful and spacious. More than enough room for my guest and I. The area is quiet and the property is secluded enough to really let you enjoy nature. Every morning we had a family of deer grazing in the yard. The home itself is also in an ideal location for activities. Only 4 minutes from Endless Wall trail (highly recommend) and about 1hr from Charleston. You’re also close to shopping and grocery stores which came in handy for some extra beer runs lol. Overall this home was amazing. Highly recommend for your next get together!
