Very welcoming host! The home had all of the necessary amenities and more. Entry was easy and prompt. Very comfortable stay all around - this was our second time staying at the 'cottage'. Thank you so much!
This was a fun place to stay for my short trip! Loved how close it was to a lot of local sites & stores. It’s a super clean & well-organized, and communication was great! If I’m ever in town again, I’d definitely consider staying here again!
Very clean, cozy and attractive home! Host was easy to reach and accommodating. The beds were comfortable, the home was well-stocked with necessities, and we had a wonderfully relaxing stay. Highly recommend!
Was in Muncie to take my daughter for a college visit at Ball State. The house worked out perfect for us. It was a very nice place to stay at. I would highly recommend this house.
We were visiting for a school competition at Ball State. It was very affordable and comfortable. The beds were comfortable and everything was clean! It’s 13 minutes from Ball State according to GPS.
This house is easy to locate, and great access to the highway. Neighborhood very quiet and clean. Beds were comfortable, amenities were plentiful and clean. Will definitely stay here again when in Muncie. My friend has stayed at a hotel for the last six years and has not found one he would stay at again. Cardinal Cottage for the win!
My husband and I planned a bike trip on the Cardinal Greenway. This property was very conveniently located for getting to the trailheads. The house was very clean and comfortable. It was well suited for our needs. We also enjoyed sitting outside on the deck.

Kitchen had no toaster. Kitchen sink was very dirty. Coffee pot was very dirty, still had water in it from??? We had to wash it thoroughly before using. Overall the house had a strange smell to it, do t know if it was from cleaning products or what. Bathroom sink was dirty, soap dispenser was dirty and the shower was discussing! Sheets in one bedroom had something g white on them in two places. Would not stay here again; needs a good cleaning.
