Staying at Cardinal Cabin was a dream. It was cozy, clean and quiet. Google Maps took us to the wrong place, but there's a little wooden sign right by the correct driveway. Would love to go back in the fall!

Wonderful Cabin

We had a wonderful time at Cardinal Cabin. The hot tub was clean and a great place to relax on the cool fall nights. We were comfortable and had everything we needed. Would definitely stay again. Lisa was even kind enough to let us extend our stay with short notice a few days before.

Patoka vacation

Great location. Secluded, quiet and just minutes from the main gate to Patoka lake. Screened in porch with hot tub was fantastic. Very clean and relaxing. Only negative we have was the bed in the main bedroom was uncomfortable for us . May have just been us as we are not spring chickens and are used to a firmer bed.

Spring Break

The cardinal cabin was just whet we needed as a family to just relax. It was a damp few days so we didn't get out much but that was ok. We wanted to relax and thats what we did. The cabin felt homey with the fireplace and one TV, which made the kids have to actually be around us, lol. The beds were comfortable, kitchen fully stocked, bathroom were great and overall we would book this cabin again! Lisa was great.

Perfect location

Positives: Perfect location, which was very close to patoka sp, winery, brewery, and coffee. Cabin was adorable, and plenty big for 4 adults and 1 dog. Would be plenty big for 6. The water was nice n hot. Fire pit was perfect and relaxing. The hot tub would fit 6 grown-ups. It was my favorite...on the screened porch, with cool lights, music and great jets. The cabin gas a great front porch for relaxing and grilling. Negatives: No dish rags. We left some. The main bed was one of the mushiest beds I've ever slept IN. I say " in" because we sank and rolled into each other. I'm not a big person. We slept in the living room 2/6 nights. The upstairs was occupied by our friends. My husband's best friend is 6'2", and he was too tall...had to sleep diagonally. The one thing that bothered me most, was that i opened the fridge, and was grossed out. There was at least 15 items in the door. The rules on the fridge specifically state that renters are to leave no food items in the fridge. I needed that space, but also, how do i know someone didn't stick their fingers inside those pickle jars or lick the syrup? I work with kids...they are gross. There were beers, beverages, and a drawer full of crusty dried milk (?). The condiment shelf was sticky, too. My first 15 minutes was cleaning a fridge.

Super cute and cozy cabin!

Awesome, kind, super communicative property manager. A really nice cabin - a gorgeous state of the art hot tub, cozy places to sit and spend time together, superbly clean place! Pro tip - Difficult to find groceries nearby, so plan your grocery pickup well before getting into Birdseye.

Relaxing Stay

Our stay was great. The cabin is well appointed and was pretty clean. There was some random deep cleaning that could be done but I’m just being picky. The only real complaint I would have is the beds. Again, I’m probably just being picky, but after 4 nights my back is a little tense. I would still give this a near perfect rating and will stay here again in the future. Thanks to our gracious host.

Great Stay at Cardinal Cabin

We wanted a weekend getaway around Patoka Lake. Cardinal Cabin was the perfect choice, the area is beautiful. There’s a lot to do around the area and French Lick is only a small drive away. The cabin was extremely clean and well maintained. We enjoyed the hot tub and overall, just relaxing in the cabin. Would definitely rent this cabin again!

My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful weekend away to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. With 4 children, full time jobs, and everyday responsibilities.... It was nice to spend uninterrupted time together and to just soak up each others company. The cabin was absolutely perfect and had everything we needed!!
