One of the attractions of our bed and breakfast is our location. The Red Cardinal B&B is located on a "country road". Although it is a little over a mile long, it is filled with many interesting neighbors and views that our guests enjoy. Running along side of the is a "mill race". This stream was channeled off the main body of water, the Yellow Breeches Creek, to operate the mill at the head of our street. We have a barn across the street and it provides the guest with a great photo opportunity.
Although the mill is no longer in operation, it is the home and studio of Petra Wirth, one of the premier yoga instructors in the area.
As you continue down Lerew Road, you pass our neighbor's farm. Here they raise beef cattle. The cows provide another great photo opportunity for our "city" guests.
Further along, you pass the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Campbell. This is the home of the "Chimneys Violin Shop". Mr. Campbell is a world renown violin maker and instructor. He has taken in students for years, and when they are finished their apprenticeship, they become certified violin makers, and their skills are in high demand. On a sunny day, you can walk past the "Chimneys" and see the violins drying on the porch. Some of guests have even had the opportunity to have a tour of the shop.

On the other side of the street, is "PJ" Heyman. PJ owns and operates the exquisite Village Artisans Gallery in Boiling Springs. Every item that she sells in her shop is a work of art. Check out: www.villageartisiansgallery.com.
At the end of the road is the Belt Farm. Our friend and neighbor, Patrick Belt has the sweetest corn at the end of summer. Several years ago, he worked with South Middleton Township, to grant an easement along his property so the town could construct a walking trail that connects 2 parks. It is a wonderful extension to the walk along Lerew Road.
