Pet Friendly The Cardinal Cabin 15MIN to Magnolia
The Cardinal is a popular cabin in our resort. Its festive decor will brighten your day. We hope you enjoy your stay! The Cardinal is our only pet friendly cabin.
The Space: Cardinal Cabin
Cardinal birds mate for life, which perhaps is why they are often viewed as expressing the harmony of life. They also frequently sing together—one bird trilling several phrases, which the other completes. In spring, the male conducts a courtship feeding, bringing his companion tidbits of food, their bills touching briefly as she accepts each offered morsel.
You and your significant other may also sing together about the Cardinal cabin as a temporary nesting site for two guests. A rocking chair for two invites you to relax on the porch. Inside, you can stretch out on the king-size bed or take advantage of the comfortable seating area.
The chefs among you will appreciate the kitchen area supplied with utensils, cookware, hot plate, microwave, refrigerator, and Keurig beverage maker. There is also a dining table and chairs where you can offer your loved one tidbits of food.

Loved our stay at the Cardinal cabin! We’ve stayed at many resorts, from luxe to cabins, and this stay hit the mark for comfort (sheets and pillows so soft and high quality) and modern amenities, especially after a long day in Waco.
Quiet place to relax and unwind. Adorable cabins and treehouses. Well maintained property with cute store. Close to Waco with all the great restaurants to enjoy. Close to Heritage Village that has cute stories and amazing restaurant. We're definitely coming back next year

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
I loved the serene natural environment. Everything was clean and decorated to match cabin name. The kitchen and bathroom were full of amenities. We needed nothing. I loved all the windows and the porch swing. My little dog was so happy to have a safe place to chase his tennis ball. All good!
The Cardinal at Waco Creekside Cabins was absolutely adorable! The cabin was very comfortable, spotless, and reasonably priced. The hosts were friendly and responded quickly anytime we needed something. It truly felt like a hidden gem. I would definitely recommend this cabin to friends and family and look forward to staying again!
This place was an unexpected surprise. Super clean and had everything on hand you could ask for. This was a quick last minute get away. Would stay here again.
