    Staying here felt like going home in the country to visit your favorite relatives. Billy & Joanne could not have been more gracious. They even invited our friends down the street to join us for breakfast (which was delicious). That was above & beyond. We enjoyed the charming country house, country road along a stream, chickens, border collie, and gazing over the farmland next door. Would stay here again if ever in the area.

    If you are looking for a Bed and Breakfast experience that will take you back...or introduce you to...the quiet-paced, country-lane living that so many of us crave...then the Red Cardinal is the place for you! The minute you meet the proprietors, Joanne and Bill, you will feel as though they are long-lost friends. They truly cannot do enough to make your stay comfortable, peaceful..everything you would want on a get-away. The breakfasts are superb, the service great, the home is immaculate, the area is beautiful, and their Border Collie Molly is just an added plus! We will be back to stroll on their lane, chat with the owners, take photos of the fields and cows and sky...and Molly.


    Great B&B!

    We had a great stay with Joanne and Billy! We didn't get to spend a lot of time at the B&B due to family commitments, but what a beautiful place. The location is country, but close to Camp Hill and Harrisburg which was perfect for us. The breakfasts were delicious and unique and made with fresh, home grown herbs and vegies and eggs from their chickens. I would definitely recommend the Red Cardinal!

    We stayed at the Red Cardinal a year ago this month and had an absolutely wonderful time. The place is clean and very comfortable, located in a beautiful part of the area outside of Boiling Springs, Joanne and Billy are very kind and they took absolutely wonderful care of us! I would go back every single year if they weren't so far away from us here in California!!!! The breakfasts were huge and delicious and held us until dinnertime every day, and the quiet, serene location next to a large Mennonite farm was so much nicer than a hotel on the highway.
