    The owners of the property were awesome, friendly informative. The house was beautiful. The 2 acres was just amazing to walk out. The forest was quiet .elk coming up walking around the house. It was just an amazing place. Probably one of the best places I’ve ever rented.

    What a fantastic relaxing and peaceful stay with so much availability to hike and enjoy nature. The fenced in yard is perfect for your pup and also the wrap around deck has gates so they don't escape. Nice large home with plenty of sleeping space and 2.5 bathrooms. Brick is very prompt in replying to messages and accommodating! Thanks for sharing your home with us!

    We had a lovely 12 night stay. The property is homey and welcoming to guests and pets. Having the crate and pen plus a fenced yard were wonderful! We did run out of paper products and dish and laundry detergents-and it’s quite the trip to the store so that was disappointing not to have enough supplied for our stay. And the house could use a bit of TLC-broken furniture (living room, dining room and patio) and a/c that wasn’t cooling upstairs. But the house and patio are laid out well and the owner super to work with. We’ll book again!

    Great cabin close enough to town for any exploration but far enough in the mountains to be in nature, slept 9 of us a dog perfectly and met all our needs

    This cabin was truly awesome! It was nicely secluded and backed up to forest land where we were able to take walks with the family. It was extremely clean and was stocked with all necessities as well as many fun amenities. The host was very responsive, helpful and easy to work with. Our family enjoyed our time at Whispering Pines and would stay there again for sure!

    The gates at both ends of the balcony and the large fenced in area make this home the perfect place to take your dog. We saw 4-5 elk every single day we were there. It was lovely. Our host was very kind and responsive to all our needs. He always responded to my inquiries within minutes.

    We loved our stay at this cabin. My four teens all had space to spread out with comfortable family areas for us to spend time together. The property was the perfect secluded cabin we were looking for and we even had elk come visit us every evening.

    Great getaway in the woods! The cabin was well stocked with everything we needed for cooking, relaxing and having fun. It was so nice being able to take our dog on vacation with us and the fenced backyard meant he could be outside worry-free. There were even dog bowls and a dog bed for him! The cabin backs up to a fully wooded area and we truly felt like we were isolated since any neighboring houses are not in view. The hammocks and stash of puzzles, coloring books and board games kept the whole family busy. Would definitely recommend this place for a family getaway and we will be back for sure! Host is amazing!
