Whispering Timber our spacious 3 Bedroom, 3 Bath Family Home

All aspects of our stay were excellent. Hosts immediately responded to questions.

Our group consisted of 2 family units with 4 adults and kids ages 12, 9 and 4. Things we loved: The house is located in the middle of a very peaceful cult de sac. Outside traffic was practically nonexistent. There are train tracks nearby but the noise was not loud and didn’t cause an issue for us. There is a walking/biking path directly behind the house which we found convenient. The house itself has a master bedroom on the ground floor with a private tub bathroom. There is an additional half bath in the hallway. The kitchen provided adequate counter space and there was plenty of seating at the table. The dishwasher was also quiet enough to run while we stayed in and chatted. The hearth and long window seat provided plenty of seating options for us to spread out and get comfortable. There was also toys available for the younger kids to play with. In the garage there are 2 game tables, bikes and sleds. We didn’t use any of these due to our schedule but it was a nice touch and would have been very enjoyable if we’d had the time. We did use the hot tub once which was in perfect working order and clean. Things we didn’t love: The upstairs bedrooms (bunkbed room and king bedroom) were connected with a Jack n Jill style bathroom. I’m not a fan of these in general. The bathroom contained a nice shower and toilet with separate sink units on each of the bedroom sides. The pocket door into the bunk room had latching issues and the kids had a habit of leaving the bathroom door to the king bedroom locked. There was also only one working light switch for the bathroom which was in the king bedroom sink side (there was as no light switches in the actual bathroom itself). This meant the kids had to open the bathroom door into our bedroom in order to turn on the light which was pretty disruptive due to the opening and closing of the door and the light shining onto us while trying to sleep. We opted to just leave the bathroom light on at night and keep the doors on both sides closed. The light still shinned in when we came and went but at least it was for just one side at a time. There was also a cut out shuttered window in the upstairs king bedroom that looked into the living area. This wasn’t ideal when the early risers awoke but my husband still wanted to sleep in. (A rarity for him due to his job.) In general the light switches in the house were numerous and kind of confusing. It appeared like several them didn’t do anything. It didn’t really cause a

The house was clean, easy to check into with a great location. We enjoyed the hot tub after a day of sledding. Would highly recommend.

PROS: The house was nice, the great room is big and spacious. Big kitchen. New looking appliances. My family loved playing air hockey and foosball. SHARC passes. There is a bike trail right in the backyard that leads to the village about 1.5 miles away. Good Internet speeds. CONS: Lots of dirty dishes in the cupboard and silverware drawer (I had to pull out and wash what we were going to use during our stay). Missing some usual supplies these houses normally have: No salt, no cookie sheet, no hand soap in the kitchen. Foosball table is missing a handle. Only one of the bedrooms has a TV.

We had a nice time. The house is a bit far from the village which was hard with little sand taking bikes there or to the pool. The house has no AC and we were not aware of that and it was 95 degrees when we got in with no fans on at all. We were able to keep it fairly cool by opening windows but it was a lot of effort and we won’t rent a place without AC again. It had lots of good bikes although we brought our own. We have a 2 year old and the crib is very small but we were able to use the spare mattress for him. Lots of dishes but no cleaning spray for counters or things like Ziplocs or Saran Wrap. The ice maker didn’t work which was awful. Overall it was a fine stay but we won’t visit this house again for our annual trip.

It was a great location and right off the bike path. We had a really good time

Very clean, well stocked (except for bath soap and shampoo). Plenty of room for a family of four! Beautiful location.

Nice place with lots of space to spread out!

My husband and I stayed here for our 2 Year Anniversary and everything was perfect! It had everything that we needed and more. Loved the gas fireplace and hot tub. Location was great. Comfy bed. Enjoyed star gazing through the skylight. The decor was spot on. We will definitely be back!

We stayed here with friends and had a great time! Kitchen was very well appointed, the furniture was nice and comfortable, and we utilized the bikes! The skylight over the king bed was very nice for star gazing. SHARC passes got us into the launch area to float the Deschutes. Lots of wildlife and the deer had no fear. Great long-overdue trip.
