The space
The Cozy Cardinal comes by it's name honestly. We have one full size and one twin size bed, as well as a futon in the living room, suitable for children. There is extra bedding available in the closets of both bedrooms.
There is one bathroom with brand new toilet and shower. Towels, wash cloths and hair dryer are all provided!
The kitchen is fully stocked with most anything you should need to cook and eat your meals. Pots, pans, cooking utensils, cookie sheets, plates, cups, silverware. Even a can opener and ice cream scoop! All you should need to bring are your groceries.
On one side of the kitchen is a three chair breakfast bar. Here you'll find a Keurig with coffee pods and tea bags.
On the other side is a new washer and dryer, with detergent, so you can keep yourself in clean underwear during your stay!
The living room has a futon with fold down armrest and cup holders, and a deceptively comfortable chair for unwinding or eating. We do have a smart TV, so feel free to stream your favorite shows. We also have a DVD player with a small assortment of DVDs. We have a couple board games as well.
The yard is small and unfenced, so you'll need to leash your pets. It's very peaceful day and night, with a pleasant mix of sun and shade.
We have a firepit and a couple of chairs. With a swing away cooking grate and charcoal platform, it's perfect for cooking s'mores or an outdoor meal, or simply enjoying the pop and crackle of an evening fire while enjoying our West Virginia nights.
As our guests you have access to the pool, a short walk or drive, closer to the Village entrance. Leaving the Cardinal the way you came in, you'll make the first left onto Rock Ridge Drive, and take your second or third left onto Pool Drive. This is a loop road and the pool is near the outside of the loop. There's also a pavilion and a gazebo and a small playground set for the little ones. There are bathrooms at the pool, and a large deck with tons of seating for sunning and drip drying. Be sure to bring your pool pass which is hanging near the front door!
