We rented a small cabin with a built in hot tub and fireplace. Perfect place for an intimate romantic dinner which they will cook on request and deliver to your room. We also chose to get a massage from their full service spa. Very good massage I can highly recommend it. The surrounding areas are a park like setting with lots of flowers and plants . The cabins are in the heavily treed woods and in the mornings we were awakened by the chatter of birds. It was so good to take in the views and sit on our back porch listening to them with their morning chirps and breathing in that fresh mountain air. If you are looking for a place to relax and enjoy excellent dining, this is your place. There are also a couple outside cats on the property that like to visit while you are sitting on your porch swing or rocking chairs.

Monica and Stan thought of every single thing to ensure the wedding was flawless. Again and again I, the m-o-t-b, found myself impressed with yet another moment of a perfectly executed day of wedding plan. This was no doubt due to choosing Monica as the Day-Of Event Coordination instead of someone not familiar with the venue. Choosing Monica for this Cooridnator is really a must-do for anyone considering the Cardinal's Nest. Doing otherwise is really a disservie to yourself. Another particular note is the Access to Extensive Selection of Decor, for they have thought of everything to lighten your load and create the the absolute perfect venue. Thanks Monica and Stan for making our daughter's wedding "better than she ever could have imagined!!"
