Very peaceful cabin in a beautiful location. Well appointed with everything we needed. Loved having the wood stove for the cold evenings. We would definitely be back.
Great location and loved having 2 en suites. Had small issue late one evening. Owners were there and issue resolved in less than an hour. Couldn’t ask for a faster response/outcome. Would definitely stay again.
We loved Whispering Pines cabin. Super clean and property was exactly as advertised. Jessica was super responsive to any questions we had. The area is beautiful and quiet. River front is a quick drive. The town is about a 10 minute drive and had groceries, an awesome butcher shop and good restaurants.
Beautiful cabin with all the amenities next to nature. Enjoyed gazing at the stars with the fire pit burning in the background. Truly a wonderful experience. Will definitely do this trip again.

This cabin rental exceeded all expectations. Very clean,safe and secluded. The cabin was equipped with everything needed to cook dinner and more. It was a very enjoyable experience
We met at the cabin with my husband's childhood friend he hadn't seen for 40 years.
It was a great place to hang out and talk. The cabin is very cozy. Loved it
Basic travel items missing, industrial laundry detergent provided, use 1-2 oz for every 100 pounds? How do I measure that from a gallon bottle? Basic amenities not provided. The cabin needs bedroom furniture, no place unpack, 8 days living out of a suitcase on floor. Rented from the prior owner 10+ times, this owner may lose me as a regular customer. Owner seems to be too greedy to provide items provided by every rental I have used, all over North America.
