Summary: Cardinal Cottage is absolutely beautiful inside and out. The mountain views are spectacular, Chris and Julie are perfect hosts. We could not have dreamed of a more relaxing getaway, waking up each morning enjoying coffee on the porch was a perfect start to each day. The fireplace on the porch was a wonderful way to end the day after site seeing and exploring the beautiful mountains. My husband and I look forward to returning to Cardinal Cottage again one day. Thank you Chris & Julie for sharing your spectacular home!

Summary: Chris and Julie were truly the best hosts we’ve ever had. From the moment we arrived, their warmth and thoughtfulness made us feel completely at home. They went above and beyond to accommodate our guest Sophie, who has special needs, ensuring she felt just as comfortable and cared for as the rest of us.We celebrated a beautiful Mother’s Day and birthday weekend, and the space was perfect for making heartfelt memories. It was more than just a getaway—it was a deeply meaningful time for us, as we also had the chance to say goodbye to a dear and special friend.The setting, the attention to detail, and especially the hosts made this a weekend we will treasure forever. We are beyond grateful.

Summary: We highly recommend the relaxing and refreshing Cardinal Cottage!! You won't want to leave!!Chris and Julie are responsive, caring, friendly, and knowledgeable hosts!! They have designed and decorated this home beautifully and comfortably, with ample supplies (coffee, books, games, towels, etc.) and personal touches.The primary bedroom suite has an awesome shower with a small window to look out at the nearby pastures and cows. The window seat in the bedroom is a perfect spot to read and take in another view (and nap too!). If you have friends joining you, their suite is across the cottage giving you privacy. The open kitchen, dining and living room is large and welcoming. Yet, we spent most of our time on the front porch looking at the barn, mountains, meadows, and mesmerizing views. At night we also enjoyed the outdoor space staring at the sky and crackling fire, under warm blankets they provided.There is a useful welcome booklet and tons of brochures if you want to leave the farm. We enjoyed Wades Mill, the Rockbridge Winery, and several hikes.We totally want to come back again! This will remain our serene and happy place!! Thanks to our wonderful hosts for sharing this gift!

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.
