Wonderful home

Our group of friends thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

The kitchen was stocked with plenary of dishes, pots and pans and various spices for cooking in-house! Just a wonderful getaway.

Beautiful Home and Relaxing Property

The home was just as pretty in person as it is online. We really enjoyed our trip and time with one another. The property is big enough to make you feel like you are secluded and private. We only had a few issues with some housekeeping problems, but other than that the home was wonderful.

Spring Break Memories

From the minute we pulled up to "Whispering Willow" we knew we were in for a treat. The property is incredibly maintained. The cabin had every amenity you could ask for and the layout was perfect for our family of 4. The home was extremely clean and comfortable. We really enjoyed the location as it was easy to access many different cities, towns and activities. We will definitely be enjoying this cabin again in the future. Thank you!

We LOVED staying at Whispering Willow. The house is beautiful, updated, clean, spacious and decorated beautifully. Everyone was super comfortable. Waking up to see the clouds hovering and ending the day with the quiet black starry sky was a wonderful experience. The location was great and not too far from lots of high country activities. We hope to return again. Thank you for sharing this beautiful home!

Fantastic!

This is a great home for a family gathering! It had everything we could think of and I would book again in a heartbeat. Three distinct floors each offer a suite for different couples and 2 bunk beds (with a tv) give the kids their own space for chilling. Game room was a hit. Hot tub used after golf and hiking. Fire pit was a gathering spot. Lots of nooks for folks to find quiet time alone and large gathering spaces for fun. Kitchen perfect. Centrally located to enjoy all that the High Country has to offer.

Exceeded Our Expectations!

Our family and friends felt like it was home away from home. Very clean and it was evident that that someone takes great pride in their rental property inside and out. Ample space to feel warm and cozy yet be able to have quiet time away from others either on the porch or in the hot tub. Well stocked kitchen allowing the ability to eat-in was a plus with a fabulous grill! And the icing on the cake was meeting Jenny before leaving. She was so friendly and does a wonderful job preparing the house for the next guests to have a relaxing stay. We will definitely be back.
