The Cardinal property was great! Extremely clean, well stocked and comfortable. The property just outside of Athens was very peaceful and super close to the Little Fish Brewery. Bonus!! The host was very quick to respond to all my questions. We will definitely return.

Great quite country location, yet minutes away from Athens. We saw deer one morning in the adjoining field. Host communication was also good.

Property was better than advertised and well stocked. Great location close to OU campus.
10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2026
Couldn't have asked for a better experience. Everything from location to the unique container, was fantastic. Everything was very clean and and I loved the "Patio" on top of the roof. Having coffee up there in the morning was very peaceful. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay there and will hopefully be able to experience it again.
