This is our third time staying in this adorable house. So easy to get to all the shopping and dining in Round Top. Sleeps all 6 of us with comfort. Nice living space, and the daily breakfasts are such a treat. We love this place and they are phenomenal hosts!!

Cardinal Kabin Round Top, Tx
We booked last minute and everything was ready when we arrived. The owners have done everything to make the Kabin comfortable for their guests. The perfect location for a quiet stay in the country but near Round Top. Highly recommend!

Roundtop Weekend Stay
This was our groups second time to stay, so that should say something! Gracious hosts! Great location for all the fun and shopping around Roundtop. Full kitchen, very comfortable sleeping for 6, nice bathrooms, and the homemade breakfasts each morning are the icing on the cake. Highly recommend, and we hope to return again next year!

Short Stay
We were a group of 6 (3 adult couples) in town for antique weekend! The house is set up perfectly, everyone had their own space, and two full bathrooms was great! We only stayed one night, but I feel we were treated just as well as someone staying multiple nights! This house is tucked back just far enough to quietly enjoy your morning coffee on the porch with a beautiful view, yet very close to all the hustle and bustle! We really enjoyed the fresh milk, cream, and juices in the fridge. The only thing we were slightly disappointed in was the "hot breakfast" although the breakfast pastries were very good, I do wish the explanation would have said warm pastry breakfast instead of just hot breakfast. Being farm and ranch type people We are just simply not sweets for breakfast people, had we known this we could have brought something and cooked ourselves in the fully furnished kitchen.
Overall, we enjoyed our quick stay and would stay again!

Wonderful Property in the Country
Home was very clean and communication with the owners was always prompt. Home was in a pasture and a great way to connect with the beauty of nature.
Loved the country charm and the proximity to Round Top.

Charming home in rustic location
The Kardinal Kottage is a sparking clean, charming 3-bedroom house in a rural location a short drive from Round Top. Three of us stayed there for a girls weekend. Eric and Deborah were very gracious hosts and communicated with us before and during our stay. They provided a homemade continental breakfast each morning. The home is set back in a rustic setting and close to an enclosed cow pasture. Guests who want to can feed the cows. It is a very comfortable and peaceful property.
The Hosts were the greatest. The house is perfect. We got to feed cows. One of the BEST places ever!!
We wish it was pet-friendly, but also understand why it is not!

The most gracious hosts we've ever experienced!
This is the second time I've had the pleasure of working with this host and both times, they have blown me away with the hospitality, kindness, and generosity! The house is comfortably outfitted with all the amenities you could want - clean towels, soaps, hair dryer(!), full kitchen...and a fridge with fresh squeezed orange juice, a carafe of fresh milk, cold waters, and they provide a delicious, homemade breakfast in the mornings!! They really made us feel at home <3 Some of our guests have a gluten sensitivity and they even went out of their way to adapt a favorite recipe, using gluten-free flour, so our guests could partake...and they were delicious! I've done a fair amount of VRBO rentals through the years and I've never experienced such gracious hospitality such as this. They're communicative, helpful, and their thoughtfulness is unparalleled. It was a pleasure working with Eric and Deborah and we hope to stay with them again and again!

Great property and hosts
We had a wonderful stay at Kardinal Kabin at Cottages of Winedale. We stayed only one night to go to Round Top Antique Show.This property was perfect, very short drive to all the shopping. The owners were great, very attentive and accommodating. The breakfast was a nice surprise. They took care of every detail for us. We will definitely come back.

Great Winedale/Round Top Retreat!
We visit the Round Top/Winedale area at least twice a year, so we are very very happy to found such a hidden gem in the Kardinal Kanin at Cottages at Winedale.
There is more than enough space for three couples, including a spacious open family room/kitchen area. Plus, two great bathrooms, with nice showers.
But the best part about the property may be the owners, Eric and Deborah. Very attentive, and quickly responsive about seven the smallest matters. Plus they don’t just “mail in” the breakfast portion. Wonderful, warm breakfasts hand delivered to us each morning. We didn’t expect that, but it was certainly appreciated.
First, I’m picky & this property was super clean & well appointed. The owners were very helpful & professional & they brought us homemade muffins that were amazing. The beds are comfortable & the bathrooms were spotless. Everything was inviting & relaxing; I would highly recommend
