Summary: Cardinal Cottage was absolutely one of the most beautiful places we’ve ever been to. The home and the amazing view cannot be beat. We went there to get away from the bustle of the City, and we were not disappointed. Chris and Julie were so gracious and so accommodating … they even had a bottle of wine waiting for us when we arrived. So many amenities that we hadn’t even thought of awaited us. If you’re looking for peace and tranquility, there is not a better place. I would highly recommend Cardinal Cottage!

Summary: Amazing sunsets, peaceful surroundings, an abundance of deer and turkeys, a well-designed and comfortable home with easy access to all that the Shenandoah Valley area has to offer and attentive owners/hosts (Chris and Julie) who genuinely desired for us to have a wonderful visit and experience - that’s how we would describe our week at the Cardinal Cottage. It was superb! We’ve stayed at VRBO’s across the country and this one tops them all for the complete experience. Thank you Chris and Julie for an awesome time. If you are going to the Shenandoah Valley area and have the opportunity to book the Cardinal Cottage, I would highly recommend it. We look forward to returning.

Summary: Unique property, quiet and comfortable. Immaculate and thoughtfully decorated home away from home. One of our favorite places we have ever stayed. Highly recommend. Note, far from town but worth the winding drive.

Summary: My husband and I stayed at the Cardinal Cottage for our Anniversary and it was perfection. The owners Chris and Julie welcomed with a thoughtful gift of flowers and wine to celebrate the special occasion. They also provided information regarding things to do and see in the area. The property itself was a dream and the cottage is gorgeous. Thank you so much! Can't wait until next years Anniversary!

Summary: My husband and I came to Virginia with our 17-year old son to do some scouting of the western Virginia area. We are hoping to relocate to Virginia in the next 5-10 years. Cardinal Cottage served as home base for our quick stay, and we never wanted to leave. Chris and Julie have the most beautiful home that they share with others. The view cannot be described, but the pictures don’t even do it justice. We loved spending afternoons swinging on the front porch with the company of the pasture cows to debrief our days in other parts of VA, and they all lacked in comparison to what we found at Cardinal Cottage. We didn’t get a chance to meet Julie, but Chris was extremely attentive. The area lost power, and he was down within minutes to ask about turning on the generator. We didn’t even know the house had lost power because it’s so airy and the landscape is so beautiful that we were really only inside to sleep. With that said, the furnishings and comforts are top notch. Cardinal Cottage is stocked with all of things you need while away from home. I seriously can’t think of anything the home was missing, and there are personal touches and helpful, yet discrete, messages everywhere. Truly a gem, and we can’t wait to visit again someday!

Summary: The Cardinal Cottage in Raphine, VA was just what my husband and I were looking for as we planned for a family get together. This spacious cottage deserves a 10+ star rating. The location and amazing view of the mountains were exceptional! The hosts, Chris and Julie, focused on all the little details to make your stay as comfortable as if you were home. My husband noted that the electric car charger was another big plus for us. Chris' directions off the interstate were clear and made the cottage easy to find. We would not hesitate to stay here again and would highly recommend it if you are going to be in this area.

Summary: The pictures on VRBO don't show how absolutely beautiful the property is. The cabin is comfortable, well decorated, and had everything you could possibly need. Unfortunately we were not able to stay the entire time due to a family emergency. The hosts were so kind and understanding and invited us to come back another time.
