Cardinal Hideaway | Cozy Cabin w/ Hot Tub + Porch

Welcome to Cardinal Hideaway, a cozy two-bedroom cabin tucked among the trees near Luray. Mornings start with coffee on the covered front porch, dinners stretch out at the wooden dining table, and evenings end with a soak in the outdoor hot tub. With a king bedroom, a queen bedroom, and warm wood interiors throughout, it’s made for a romantic getaway or a quiet weekend with a few favorite people.

Cardinal Hideaway is a cozy two-bedroom cabin made for time together, with warm wood interiors, one full bathroom, and a porch, patio, and hot tub that give you plenty of room outside. It works especially well for couples, with space for a friend or two when you want company. Here’s how you’ll spend your time:

🍽️ Gather
The living and dining areas flow together, so whoever is cooking stays part of the conversation. Two sofas face a smart TV for movie nights, and the wooden dining table is a natural spot for a long breakfast, a home-cooked dinner, or a board game brought from home. The kitchen has the essentials, including a stove and oven, refrigerator, microwave, and dishwasher, so staying in for dinner is an easy choice after a day out.

🛏️ Rest
Bedroom 1 is the warmer of the two, with a king bed set against wood-paneled walls. Bedroom 2 feels lighter and brighter, with a queen bed and a window looking out to the trees. Both bedrooms have a smart TV for winding down at the end of the day. The shared full bathroom has a shower and a separate bathtub, so a long soak is always an option.

🌙 Unwind
Mornings start at the coffee bar in the dining area, with a Keurig, French press, drip coffee maker, and a selection of K-cups and teas, then carry your cup out to the covered front porch with trees all around. Out back, the patio and picnic area are set up for lunch outside or an afternoon with a book. As the evening cools, end the day in the outdoor hot tub, whether you’re soaking after a hike or simply staying out under the trees a little longer.
