Red Cardinal Bed and Breakfast

The sounds of a quiet country setting! Bliss! We arrived at the most charming B&B on a peaceful setting right outside Carlisle Pa. Joanne and Bill could not have been more gracious hosts. Breakfast served with fresh homegrown produce and eggs. We cannot wait to return.

Fantastic If you want the nicest place with the nicest hosts and to feel like a treasured guest in the home of a great cook, stop looking, you’ve found it.

My room was just what I wanted - comfortable and with every thing I needed. The breakfast was great. Hint to hikers - don't plan for lunch the morning you leave . You won't need it. Hosts were very pleasant to talk to and work with. They were willing to pick me up and drop me off whenever I requested.

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 :)

We had a enjoyable stay at the Red Cardinal Bed & Breakfast. Joanne and Bill are fantastic hosts and make you feel so welcome. Our room was very clean and very comfortable. We had all the amenities you could ask for. Morning breakfast was delicious and filling. We stayed 3 nights and every morning it was a different and delicious breakfast. The landscaping and scenery is like a picture out of a magazine. Thank you Joanne & Bill for an enjoyable and comfortable stay at your beautiful home. Thank you Bill for your service.

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!!
