Julie and Chris are amazing hosts. Cardinal Cottage is a German designed energy efficient home surrounded by picturesque mountains, sunrises and sunsets. This home is spacious, bright and beautifully furnished. It provides all the comforts of home and more. There is plenty to do in the surrounding area to keep you busy, but be sure to enjoy the tranquility, view and abundance of nature this vacation home offers.

This was the perfect spot for a nice family getaway! The cottage was exceptionally clean with incredible attention to detail. The cottage has every amenity/supply you could ever need. Chris & Julie were quick to respond to messages and were so welcoming! We loved sitting on the patio enjoying the views and watching the animals. It was so peaceful and quiet. We explored Wades Mill, Lexington and Stanton. Lunch at The Palms & Gelato at Pronto in Lexington. Lunch at Blue Point in Stanton for fresh oysters/seafood. We also had a great German dinner at Edelwiess. Thanks for sharing your slice of the Shenandoah Valley. We will definitely be back!
