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.

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!

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.

Our group of friends thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The house is well-stocked and we were pleasantly surprised by the thoughtful amenities - towels for the hot tub, throws for sitting around and cuddling by the fire! The kitchen was stocked with plenary of dishes, pots and pans and various spices for cooking in-house! Just a wonderful getaway.

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!

Great Stay - Family Love
This experience for my family was incredible. We found the peacefulness of this location and the opportunity to be close to everything a joy. There is a park right down the road that our kids love, and the Mast General Stores were so fun. We also had the opportunity to go to the Cone Manor, do a hike, and hit up Grandfather Mountain, which were both fantastic. The house itself comes with top-of-the-line accommodations, and as someone who loves to cook, I thought the KitchenAid appliances and the Napoleon grill to be a huge hit. The only thing I would have loved, and this is minor, is to have the deck, and lower levels pressured cleaned prior as there was a lot of pollen that we ended up taking care of ourselves. We are already looking at this cabin for next year!

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.

Serenity and adventure
With the picturesque deer wandering through the back yard and the multitude of hiking trails, you get the best of both serenity and adventure. The property is meticulously clean and well stocked. It snowed the first night and was sunny and 75 by the time we left. Truly am awesome place to enjoy all seasons. Easy to navigate roads in and out. Paved drive. Thanks for our stay! We left rejuvenated and already thinking about a return visit!
