Hot Tub. Firepit. Game Room. Pet Friendly. 11 Acre Retreat.

This house was perfect, location is hands down one of the best if visiting the National Park. Everything inside was tastefully done and the property is perfect. I will definitely stay again when in the area.

We had a great stay - beds were comfortable, everything was clean, and very useful amenities. We were also very close to our hiking and rafting activities.

Very nice stay!

Great stay and excellent host. The location was ideal for the trip.

property. The surroundings were incredibly peaceful, making it the perfect place to relax and unwind. Everything was very well kept, and you could tell a lot of care went into maintaining the space.The amenities were thoughtfully chosen and high quality. The overall design of the property was beautiful and well planned, creating a comfortable and inviting atmosphere throughout.We truly enjoyed our time here and would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet, well-designed getaway and a bonus that is close to local attractions .

We had a wonderful time at this home! Great location and relaxing environment when we came home from hikes.

The cabin is cozy and comfy! The perfect retreat for city folks like us. We enjoyed the area immensely. Coming back to the hot tub, game room, and daily deer viewing was just the relaxation we needed after a day of adventures. We absolutely loved having our dogs with us! We look forward to future stays at this property.

Was an excellent place to spend a few days with a friend and our dogs. The host was great and helped got a left item back quickly. Kitchen was well stocked and great for cooking in a lot.

My host was quick to respond and always pleasant to talk with. The house is very comfortable and on very nice land! It’s beautiful

The property was absolutely gorgeous and meticulously maintained—it truly checked every one of our needs for this trip. From the moment we arrived, we were struck by how beautiful and well-kept everything was.The hosts' kindness and attentiveness were just as impressive. Shelby was an amazing host—always there to help if we encountered any issues and full of fantastic recommendations for both day hikes and local food.After a long day of hiking, the comfortable beds were extremely inviting. We especially appreciated the expansive property, where we were able to sit outside and relax. The location is perfect, being only a mile or two from the Endless Wall Trail.As for dining, we took Shelby's advice and would highly recommend Cathedral for breakfast, and Pies and Pints and Secret Sandwich Society for dinner.This was a truly wonderful trip that will stay in our memories forever. We would highly, highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a beautiful, comfortable stay with outstanding hosts!

This was perfect for our family of 6! Hot tub and fire pit were a bonus!

Property was in great shape and provided a peaceful retreat when done exploring the area for the day. Wildlife came up to the back of the property to add to the peacefulness.

The place is absolutely gorgeous, it is close to many things to do and I cannot recommend this place enough to anyone who needs a place to stay. The deer and turkeys visited everyday, and birds were plentiful. Our dog enjoyed the walk around.

My family & in laws had a great experience! Very accurate listing & the hot tub hit just right :)

The Cardinal Cottage is as adorable and serene as the photos and description claim. The location is so convenient to all the sites yet secluded and abundant with wildlife. We saw many deer and turkeys during our time there. Our host Shelby was most gracious and accommodating with our stay. We will definitely stay here again when visiting New River Gorge.

Excellent property and stay

Amazing and clean house with lots of room outdoors. We saw turkeys and deer everyday. Shelby was easy to reach and a wonderful host. Couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay!

Easy booking & check in, amazing location, beautiful cabin & property grounds, great amenities, well stocked. Would love to visit again in the future.

Perfect location for a peaceful stay near New River Gorge. It is close to everything … restaurants in Fayetteville, Adventures on the Gorge, Babcock State Park, and even Summersville Lake.

My family and I loved our stay at the Cardinal Cottage. The location made for easy access to everything the New River Gorge has to offer, and we were able to bring our dogs along for the adventure. I'm sure we will be booking another stay at the cottage in the future.

First off. This property is within the national park with a plethora of hikes and scenic overlooks that are all under a 30 min drive. The house was very comfortable and clean. The property was private with wildlife all around. After a long day of hiking or rafting the hot tub was the perfect end. I would come back

Excellent property! Close to all things NRG! Very clean and updated. I would recommend to anyone!

I’m very picky about cleanliness and details. Compared to other places we’ve stayed, this was my favorite. We wanted to experience the eateries in the area, and I was on vacation from cooking, so we didn’t use much in the lovely kitchen besides coffee mugs and a few glasses and silverware. Nearly everything was provided that we needed and then some. Would book it again, for sure!

My family really enjoyed our stay at this lovely house in a great location. It is great proximity to a variety of activities, restaurants, and shopping and the hot tub was a great way to unwind after a long day of outdoor activities. Would definitely stay here again when we visit in the future.

Loved the property! Learned a valuable lesson about GPS in the area though! We quickly figured out that taking Lansing Edmond Rd. To Route 19 is the best way to get anywhere!! Lots of one lane, mostly gravel roads around the area. The cottage was so comfortable! Great sleeping! Owner was very responsive.

The Cardinal Cottage was an awesome escape. It had all we needed in a beautiful location. We loved the privacy, peace, and the views of deer, turkeys, and birds. The hot tub was a great bonus for warmth (though the jets could use a little TLC). We really appreciated the pet-friendly and clean environment! The thoughtful details made our family getaway a success! Thank you

Awesome property! Bright and fresh with lots of natural light. Beautiful large kitchen with plenty of cookware and dishes. We appreciated the gate at the deck stairs so we could relax in the hot tub without worrying that our fur baby would wander off. Convenient to the New River Gorge area.

We stayed with our 2 young kids and dog and came to explore the New River Gorge National Park. The location was perfect and close to the Gorge, visitor center, and minutes from the Endless Wall Trail! We enjoyed a fire in the fire pit and watching the sun set from the property. The kitchen was well equipped and had a very nice gas range! We had a great stay and the Gorge offered spectacular views from the trails and overlooks.

The cottage was well stocked, clean and homey. Our boys enjoyed the game room while we preferred the porch and hot tub.

Enjoyed location & amenities! Wonderful place for a get away with our puppers!

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!

Very close to great hiking and beautiful property!! Great host very receptive with messages and questions. Dog friendly too which was great!!

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!

We’ve stayed there two years in a row to celebrate Thanksgiving with friends. The kitchen is perfect for cooking large meals and well stocked with cooking equipment. The dining room table is placed in front of a row of windows that provide a lovely view of woods. We love the back porch which looks out over woods and large grassy areas. We saw lots of deer. The bedrooms are simple but warm, with the perfect amount of hooks and drawers to easily unpack. The layout of the bedrooms and bathrooms are well situated to provide privacy, especially since the house isn’t particularly large. We had a manual wheelchair user in our party and he was able to get up on the front porch and into the house easily with a small portable ramp we brought. After that he could access the rest of the house and back porch. There’s also a separate game room and hot tub, but we didn’t use those. We were too busy cooking and eating and working a puzzle in the Cosy common space. We really enjoyed this house for the four of us. It could easily handle a couple more people and still be comfortable.

Great location.

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.
