Located near the center of Carlisle and Boiling Springs, we are easily accessible from I-81 and the Pennsylvania Turnpike. The Carlisle Car Show Fairgrounds, Dickinson College, Appalachian Trail, Yellow Breeches Creek and the Army War College are nearby. Gettysburg Battlefield is @ 1/2 hour and Lancaster is @ 1 hour. Our B&B is surrounded by mountains, fields and streams which makes a stay here very relaxing. We have two bright and sunny guest rooms with private baths. Each guest will be served a full country breakfast in our quaint dining area or on the patio.

5 out of 5Fell in love with the Red Cardinal B&B
May 01, 2013
We visited Carlisle, PA for the car show and while that was a great (but tiring) event, the highlight of our weekend was the stay at Red Cardinal. Joann and Bill are the best hosts ever, the countryside is just unbelievable, the food was divine and abundant, Molly (the resident pup) is so incredibly sweet and smart we wanted to bring her home with us (and we already have a dog and a cat). Every need was anticipated and I wouldn't go to Carlisle again without staying at the Red Cardinal. I've actually missed everything about it since we returned!
5 out of 5Relaxing getaway!
September 17, 2012
We stayed here from 9/14-9/16 2012. Billy and Joanne were very accommodating, especially since we arrived an hour earlier than we thought. The room was clean and cozy. Billy gave us a tour of the property and a history of the house, making us feel as though we were family, from the very start! I worked with Billy and hadnt seen him since he had moved to PA, so it was a nice reunion and a beautiful place to stay. Joanne was accomadting to my food allergies and made my breakfast, with that in mind. It was wonderful to be able to go someplace and not worry about my food allergies. We had to leave extra early on our departure day, so they both got up early to see us off and even offered to make us a meal to go! We are hoping to get back to Carlisle next year, and this time, to stay longer than a weekend! Of course I couldn't forget about Mollie....beautiful dog and very entertaining! Every time she saw us, she needed to show us the chickens. She would run to them, then turn around to make ure we were following! Ilook forward to our next stay!

August 02, 2012
I lived in Carlisle while attending law school, decades ago, so I know something about the area. After one night at the Red Cardinal, I am convinced that I will return for my next visit to this historic area. I arrived by MOTORCYCLE to a warm welcome from Bill (Billie), and was able to park my bike in their garage. Traveling alone, I was comforted by Billie's hospitality and warm welcome. The Red Cardinal is set in a lush green valley, not far from Pine Grove Furnace park, where gentlemen Farmers reside; and every morning is a wake up call with nature. Breakfast on the patio was my best meal on a five day trip, and I enjoyed the view as much as I did the company. I stayed in the Bluebird room and had wonderful views out windows front and back.. Recently completed, the Bluebird room is a 5-star experience. Joanne is a wonderful cook, and sets a welcoming table. I was quickly accepted as a member of the family on what was the most memorable stay of my travels. I highly recommend this inn. It is ideal for people returning to Carlisle and not far from Gettysburg.
5 out of 5Magnificent Molly and her Fabulous Family
July 25, 2012
After two stays over the last three years, we can declare Red Cardinal perhaps the most congenial and unique B & B in which we've ever been welcomed; and that includes a passel of accommodations all over Ireland and Great Britain. The hosts, including Molly, are generous in their sharing of the facility, the setting, and the history and culture of the area. Our room even had a featured photo of one of us from a previous stay. That sort of personalization is typical of all aspects of our stays. Coupled with the consummate comfort and finish of the ensuite room, this degree of friendliness and thorough-going preparation. make Red Cardinal a sheer traveler's delight.

July 21, 2012
Bill and Joanne were very hospitable and gave us helpful info on the surrounding area and things that we wanted to see. The room was extremely clean and comfortable and the location offers a lot of peace and quiet. Our breakfasts were delicious and they weren't kidding about the fresh eggs ( right from the hen!). We highly recommend this B&B.
5 out of 5Terrific Bed and Breakfast
July 11, 2012
We had never stayed at a B & B before and so glad we decided to try this one. Joanne and Bill go out of their way to make you feel comfortable and right at home in their home. The friendliness and warmth was outstanding. Breakfast was great and if you didn't get enough to eat, it was your own fault. Molly greeted us and showed us the chickens and even wants you to play with her. We would definitely stay there again and highly recommend the Red Cardinal B&B.
5 out of 5Quaint, Quiet, Home Away from Home
June 27, 2012
Joanne, Bill and Mollie(their dog) warmly welcome you into their home. They literally meet and greet you at the door. Their hospitality and friendliness is very welcoming in these days. Mollie will be anxious to show you "her" chickens. The B&B is a real find for this area. We travel and stay a lot in the Carlisle and surrounding area due to family and friends and activities we attend. We like this B&B because it is off the beaten path of hustle and bustle, but, within minutes of being able to hop on the highway and do what you came to do. The rooms are comfortable, nicely decorated and a great value for the price. Joanne will make you an outstanding, hearty breakfast with fresh ingredients, including some of those eggs laid from some of Mollie's buddies right at the B&B! You will not go away hungry. All served up by Bill who will engage easily in lively conversation with you. We will be recommending Cardinal B&B to our friends and relatives looking for a nice place to stay for any getaway. When you leave, Joanne and Bill treat you like family. They offer to help take things to your car, walk you out to say goodbye and take a picture for a memory of their guests. Really, really outstanding. You won't go wrong with this one. Thanks Joanne & Bill for going above and beyond to provide a nice retreat during a stay.

Stayed in the upstairs room. Very light, very pleasant. Breakfast was excellent. Also, the company. Joanne and Bill are interesting people; they love to talk about the house, garden, neighbors, things to do, etc. Their garden is a special treat.
