Red Cardinal Bed and Breakfast

This place is a hidden GEM. Bill and Joanne are the two nicest, down to earth people you will ever meet. Thank you for making our 8th wedding anniversary so special with the banner and cake. It was very kind and very appreciative of you to think of us. Thank you for all your wonderful suggestions and lovely conversations. We enjoyed our stay! The room was impeccable, and food was out of this world, fresh and with hugh portions. We are planning to stay again next fall during the Apple Festival! We will definitely recommend this hidden gem to all our family and friends! Thanks again, Craig&Mary

Billy and Joanne are kind, caring people who are living their best lives. They put all their love into this B&B and into their attention to their guests. I stay here when I am in town for work and have found it the perfect place to rest after long shifts. Joanne makes delicious breakfasts with many locally-sourced materials, including vegetables from her own garden and eggs from their chickens. The property is gorgeous and includes beautiful sunset views over farmland, and there are so many trails close by, including the AT. My drive to UPMC Carlisle from their place is only 11 minutes and much preferred to the lodging options there. If you want to do some yoga while you are in town, their neighbor has a home studio and accepts drop-ins. Boiling Springs is just a few minutes away, which is my favorite little town in this area and includes a great lake with walking trails and a cozy cafe. Joanne and Billy have also been so generous with their knowledge of the area and recommending good hiking spots and other things to do on my days off. I've stayed in other places in the area, but this is my favorite. It feels immediately like a home away from home :)

Joanne and Bill make their wonderful home so welcoming. They make you feel like you are the only guest they have ever had. This is the third time I have been with them but it certainly will not be the last. Oh yeah...and don't skip breakfast!!
