• A perfect anniversary weekend

  5/5

  This cabin was perfect—clean, beautifully decorated and cozy, remote/private for our dog to run around freely and had absolutely everything we needed. We hope to go back again someday.

• Our anniversary stay

  5/5

  First of all, this cabin has EVERYTHING you can think you might need. Mike and Debbie have thought of it all. The space is very true to photos, and honestly, even better in person. They had left a little welcoming pack for us and our fur baby. The property is well maintained and our hosts were very quick to respond to any question that came up - although with their welcome book - there wasn’t much left to ask. We found plenty to do in the area that was dog friendly which was another HUGE plus. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.

• Perfect blend of rustic feel and modern comforts

  5/5

  Cardinal Pines is in a lovely, quite, remote spot surrounded by nature. The hosts clearly put a lot of thought into the décor and feel of the place to match the mountain setting.

  If you like to cook, the kitchen they have there is very well stocked with appliances and cookware which we really enjoyed using. It's secluded but not far from Oneonta which has all the stores & etc. you need.

  In short it's the perfect blend of rustic mountainy feel, without sacrificing any modern comforts!

• An all around amazing cabin!

  5/5

  Simply put, Cardinal Pines accommodations, location & beyond dog friendly policy are extraordinary.

  Foremost, the Dinardo’s are exceptional hosts, highly responsive and gracious.

  The serene environment is an opportunity to engage deeply with nature, with exciting flora and fauna around the property.

  The cabin’s rural location, Adirondack design, robust exterior visual & sound security, high end cookware & comfortable furniture ensure a relaxing, restorative holiday break, with every season offering glorious landscapes. I honestly could have spent the entire time on the porch swing.

  Worth noting since 2021, I have travelled with my dog more than 30 times, staying in hotels, inns, Airbnb’s & VRBOs. Every property demonstrates varying degrees of “dog friendly,” from barely tolerant to accepting with a pricey fee per night. By contrast, the Dinardo’s embrace dogs, providing bowls, toys, blankets to cover furniture, even towels to wipe their feet. Recognizing dogs as fellow travelers, not simply income generating nuisances, was deeply appreciated. As a responsible dog guardian, that respect and trust is a valued guest amenity. I hope subsequent guests ensure these benevolent gestures continue.

  Weaver’s (open currently Wednesday-Sat) is a wonderful Amish store, sells a wide selection of local meats, vegetables, baked goods, crafts & additional provisions.

  In sum, Cardinal Pines is highly recommended, and I will absolutely return!
