Lovely stay in a winter wonderland!
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!

Wonderful place to Stay
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!

Fall Getaway
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.

The Cardinal Cottage is very nice and comfortable!
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!

Fantastic stay for New River Gorge National Park!
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!

Outstanding Stay in Every Way
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.

Perfect
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.

Wonderful place to stay
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.

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.

Outdoors vacation
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.

West Virginia getaway
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!

Peaceful retreat
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!

Loved our stay
Location was great for visiting New River Gorge. We enjoyed the beautiful property, seen deer every evening along with a beautiful sunset and turkeys in morning. Property had everything we needed to make breakfast each day. We also had a fire every night. The fire pit was great for relaxing and all the outside furniture was clean and in great shape. Bed was comfy and house was nice and quiet. We are already talking about coming back to this property and we never stay the same place twice. We loved it.

Happily Exhausted
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.

Wonderful!
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!

Such an amazing home base for a visit to the NP
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!

The BEST place ever!
If you’re looking to visit West Virginia and/or visiting the New River Gorge, look no further. This beautiful home is remarkable inside and out! Everything from the finishings, comfortable beds, incredible scenery (we had a family of deer visit us multiple times), and the location was absolutely perfect. The hot tub was so wonderful to come home to after a long day. And the Host is so accommodating and thoughtful in every way. We left some clothing behind and they contacted us immediately. I highly recommend staying here for any occasion. I know my friends and I look forward to doing so again in the future!!
