April 2024 Eclipse Family viewing party

Drove up from NC to see the eclipse and were blown away with how great the Red Cardinal Lodge was. Absolutely gorgeous with amazing rooms, outdoor spaces and game room. Nancy and Doug were fantastic hosts and made us feel like part of the family. Hated to leave and look forward to going back. Definitely worth the 9 hour drive.

Perfect!

We really enjoyed our stay and would love the opportunity to spend more time here at the red cardinal lodge. Our boys enjoyed the fish pond and caught a huge bass. All the children enjoyed the game room. The beds were super comfy and our host had so many extras with fresh flowers on the table and snack basket and anything we could possibly wish for! 5 🌟 for sure!!!

Amazing stay!

We took a trip to Snow Trails for the weekend with family and rented this cabin because it was so close. This was only a mile drive. The cabin was so clean, the owners left us a gift basket upon arrival with lots of goodies for the kids. The hot tub was very large and very clean. we defiantly plan to stay again, maybe in the summer to enjoy the amazing outside amenities the cabin also offers!

OMG!!! Beautiful Property

This is by far our best rental property we have stayed at through out the country. The house was magnificent, super clean, updated & cozy. The game room was a surprise bonus and the back yard was amazing with all the different seating areas. Nancy & Doug went above and beyond as far as we are concerned with accommodations and extra amenities they provide. Communication was spot on with responses back in less than 30 minutes to our many questions throughout the process. We can't wait for an excuse to have to go back and visit the area so we can rent here again!!! Thank you guys for sharing your beautiful house & property and all that you did for us.

The best

Our family stayed at this property only for a weekend but we all wished it had been longer! We travel extensively and this property is definitely the nicest we have encountered. It was spotlessly clean. The kitchen was stocked with anything you could want for. The two bedrooms on the main floor were huge, each with two comfortable queen beds. They share a large bathroom with a shower and jacuzzi tub. The 3rd bedroom is upstairs in a beautiful setting with its own private bathroom. The weekend turned out to be cold and rainy but no one minded. The outside hot tub under a beautiful gazebo warmed our spirits. And the game room in the converted garage was so nice with an arcade game machine, an old fashioned pinball machine, dartboard and darts, and various other board games. They have extensive outdoor spaces to sit which we didn’t use much of but it must be stunning in warmer weather. Do not hesitate to stay here. I wish I could give it 20 stars!.

Look No Further

VRBO should assign special Premium rankings to properties like this one that go above and beyond. Everything was thought of when stocking this house. From extra toothbrushes and toothpaste in the bathroom, towels and slippers out by the hot tub, to a personalized welcome basket that had something for all ages. Every room had something extra that made our room so much more enjoyable. The two downstairs bedrooms are huge! One has an extra twin bed that can be used, and the mattress is unbelievably comfortable. My children enjoyed being able to spread out a little more. The kitchen has everything you could ever need. And they even provided a few drinks and snacks to get us started on our trip. With the fishing poles and tackle provided, we caught over 15 fish. The smores kit was such a great surprise. Our kids (big and small) all enjoyed roasting them over the fire with an abundance of wood pre-cut. The game room with glass doors was a HUGE surprise. We rolled up those garage doors when the weather was nice and had so much space to enjoy with our extended family. When it rained, we rolled the doors down and still had so much light in the room yet felt cozy playing games and watching sports. I can’t begin to describe how many outdoor seating spaces this house has surrounding the house. The serenity from the front porch, which overlooks the pond and the beautiful property, is just what we needed for downtime between outings. I highly recommend this property!
