Beautiful, Quite, mountain cabin.

This was an amazing cabin, we loved every minute of our stay. It was a girls trip for my daughter’s birthday. We all loved seeing and petting the horses and mule. The morning was gorgeous. We loved how it felt very cozy and with nature while there. The Host is very sweet and her daughter in law as well. It was nice to get away from the hustle and bustle of city/suburban area’s. We will return.

Wonderful Family Experience!

Our kids have ranked this their favorite vacation, “We have our own mule, pony, cats, chickens and cows”! We were able to see deer off in the distance and one came in the yard. The hot tub was wonderful! The house was clean and the pictures don’t do it justice, there is plenty of room. We traveled into McHenry for the Festival of Trees and stopped at Mountain State Brewery (based on other reviews - awesome!) on the way back to the property. Overall, we had a great time and will probably be back!!

Mountain farm retreat

Place was better than described. Very clean, well taken care of rustic cabin. Hot tub was the best ever for a rental I have seen this far. Animals were a lovely addition to the overall experience. We loved it! Would definitely rent again from this host.

Amazing Cabin, Property and location

This place was awesome! Laura very friendly and answered any questions we had, Cabin was very well done with nice finishes. Comfortable beds, clean kitchen and bathroom. Hot tub was awesome with great views. The animals surrounding you were very friendly such as the Donkeys, chickens and cats. Few ponds, eggs in the chicken coop, fire pit with nice seating area, close to hiking trails and state park. Kitchen had lots of things to make cooking easier, laundry room, and overall very peaceful and quiet.

Wonderful Farm Stay

My son and I need an escape from being stuck in the house due to online schooling (Covid times). Oh this rental was just what we needed and then some. Beautiful surroundings of pastures , ponds and our favorite farm animals. It was truly therapeutic being surrounded by such peaceful beauty and the lovely farm animals. The cabin/ home was very spacious, thoughtful decor, cozy, great Wifi, sparkling clean and every window view was beautiful enough to paint a picture of. Lori was such a kind host and went above and beyond to make our stay absolutely perfect. She has several rentals in the area on her website Crainsville Country Rentals’s which we plan on returning to. Thanks so much for sharing your slice of heaven with us. Julie and Joe

Whispering Pines, Cranesville

Our stay at Whispering Pines was fantastic! Great place to stay and relax. Our kids loved the horses, chickens, and fishing. We were able to enjoy Deep Creek Lake area activities, while also having our own secluded area to unplug.

Urban to Farm-Like Disconnect

Whispering Pines provided the solitude and privacy so needed by my wife and me. Having been raised in Baltimore City all of our lives, spending the week with horses, chickens ( with daily fresh eggs), geese and deer was a delightful and wonderful contrast to the normal for us. Laura, the owner was wonderful.

Nice getaway!

Had a great time:) Very clean and rustic interior. Hot tub under the stars at 15 degrees outside was fun. Fed the mules carrots everyday... very gentle. Cold outside but super comfortable inside. Will definitely go back with the kids when it's warmer.

A little glimpse of heaven

From the moment we arrived we fell in love. Beautiful spacious cabin. Laura has thought of everything to make your stay amazing! The 12 year old and 7 year old loved the animals. Beautiful scenery. Had a campfire both nights and roasted hotdogs and had s’mores. Got fresh eggs from the chickens. Dining room table was perfect for playing lots of games. So quiet and peaceful. Hated to leave and can’t wait to go back. Laura was one of the nicest people we have ever met. We can’t thank her enough for making our stay so wonderful!

Perfect getaway

If you want to unplug from society and truly relax - this home is perfect! We loved every minute of our stay - from the happy chickens, mules, birds, to the complete peace and quiet. We enjoyed fires every night and looking at the stars in the hot tub. The home is very comfortable and has everything you need. This is our second time staying in one of Laura's homes and we will definitely be back!

Wonderful weekend getaway

What an awesome little getaway. We came up the weekend of Easter to getaway from the city, unplug ( no internet or signal for miles), unwind and reconnect as a family. Although the weather was iffy, one day being 60's and rainy to snowing on our last day, we were still able to enjoy all the amenties. Loved the hot tub & all the cabin had to offer. So much more spacious than pics show. Laura stocked her cabin with so many essentials, we now know next time, we don't have to pack as much. The highlight of the trip for both my teens & toddlers were the chickens. Very friendly & loved collecting eggs each morning. Just a few mile drive to the beautiful waterfalls. Be careful, no GPS signal and we did get a little lost on the way back. Laura was very friendly, stopping in to check on us & made sure we have fire wood even with the wet weather! Cant wait to go back in the summer and experience all the lake activities.

SO MUCH FUN - SUCH A BEAUTIFUL PLACE!

This is a 10/10 for us. Three of my closest friends and I had a girls getaway weekend here at the end of March. Yes, the winter was brutal and it did indeed snow but we loved the house, the property, the animals, EVERYTHING so much that the snowy/cold weather didn't even matter. The house is spacious but cozy and has everything you need. We enjoyed fresh eggs in the morning and had so much fun watching and petting the donkeys. We can't wait to come back in the summer or fall and see how beautiful this place is then. Laura is a superb owner - she stopped by to say hello and make sure everything was going okay. Totally recommend this to those looking for a secluded and peaceful experience. Thanks, Laura!

2nd stay...will go back. Just love watching the mules and chickens...we gathered eggs for breakfast every day. Mountain State Brewery= pizza is amazing. Discovered a cafe in Accident with live bluegrass on Friday night and the food was superb. Bonus this trip- 2 barn kittens and a miniature pony!

Super, fantastic, excellent, loved it!

We had a fantastic stay at the beautiful cabin. It was very comfortable and spacious. Loved all the animals and the scenery. The chickens were very hospitable and sat with us in the mornings and evenings while we enjoyed coffee. The mules and the mini were spoiled by us - we bought lots of apples, celery and carrots for them. Ike and Buster fought like brothers for attention and veggies. Brown and Midnight were a little more shy but eventually we earned their trust. fresh blueberries from the backyard were so tasty. Laura and her family were very kind - I wish I had them as neighbors!
