Hi. After a long haitus, we've recently opened our cabin up again for guests to enjoy! Experience the perfect getaway. It's always a great season for drives, walks, hikes, and cozy chats in a beautiful setting, enjoying the quiet and tranquility of Cardinal Cabin.
Pack your knitting, books, bikes, podcasts and hobbies, this cabin HAPPILY HAS NO WiFi or cable connections.
(you can use your personal cell provider or catch up with free internet if need be at the local McDonalds )
The log cabin is located on a secluded, wooded, 3+ acre lot amid the face of the Massanutten Mountains, yet the river and conveniences of the Town of Luray are just minutes away! The 2-bedroom, 1-bath cabin comes furnished with the basics.
~ We pride our cabin on being a great break from technology, clean and sustainable, with a leave no trace philosopy.
Well maintained gravel road and community. Our cabin is quaint and rustic; you'll find yourself spending most of your time on the large screened in porch for morning coffee, relaxing, and nature gazing throughout fall, spring, & summer and then nestled inside with hobbies during cooler months! The wrap around deck is perfect for year-round star gazing.

    Just as described and just what we needed. The back porch is EVERYTHING, and stargazing for hours on the outdoor deck was a joy. Thank you!

    The cabin was just as lovely as advertised. It sits on a winding, picturesque gravel road that prompts the relaxation frame of mind. With no WiFi available, it forced me to relax instead of getting in a little bit of work. Our only point of dissatisfaction was the bed in the master bedroom - it was much more firm than we are accustomed to. However, everything else was exactly what we were hoping to find. Lastly, the property owner/manager was fabulous. She communicated promptly and ensured we got the most out of our visit.

    We loved Cardinal Cabin. The screened porch was lovely. The owners sent us a care package while we were there - so kind. It was cool even with just the AC in the living room. Fully equipped with everything you would need.

    The cabin was perfect, and the screened porch was the highlight for us. We spent the majority of our time out there. Even on hot days it was shaded and cool. It was completely serene and tranquil, which was exactly what we wanted. The cabin was clean and comfortable, and the host was friendly, accessible and very responsive. Cell service is good. We've stayed at other properties in the area, but this one has been our favorite by far, so we definitely plan to go back. If you want a place to decompress, this is it.

    Loved it. The property laced WiFi or TV, but in the end….that turned into a positive!

    Just what we were looking for, simple, clean, quiet cabin. The porch and deck were wonderful! Very close to the park for hiking and the river for canoeing. Great stay.

    Great spot and exactly what we were looking for. It was right next the the caverns so we checked out the caves while we were there. Place was super clean, had everything we needed, and we spent every morning on the covered porch. Thanks again!
