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. Need Internet access? Individual Wi-Fi is provided in the cabin. Have a Roku subscription?
