I cannot even describe how peaceful this amazing piece of heaven is. It is everything described in the listing and more. Mitch was a wonderful host. He answered all my questions before I ever left home, but he was spot on if we had an issue. I would love to return during the fall peak color changing.
If you are looking for a special place where you can leave the tv, computer and usually phones behind this is it.
We loved it so much. Thank you Mitch for everything.

Peaceful, beautiful and comfortable cabin in the woods. I felt like we were in a upscale hotel with the comfortable bed and linens. The bathroom shower was wonderful too. We enjoyed the peace and quiet nights and the hot tub was a plus. A couch or living space would have been nice but a perfect place to enjoy the outdoor space.

Everything about this stay was ideal. We were there for a wedding at a venue just down the road from Whispering Creek and it was perfect. Everything there was pristine, clean and ready for our stay. The hot tub was divine and we had a great time together. We will definitely be back for a getaway. If you stay here, bring food and drinks because other than the Howardsville General Store--where you can get sandwiches and snacks, there is really nowhere close by to do a run for dinner or other necessities. Thanks so much to Mitch and Goose for a great stay!

I thought about reviewing this place every moment I was there! My stay was incredible! I started a job in March of 2023 and have been working nonstop since Feb of 2022. I took a week off and enjoyed the weekend away in Howardsville, a quiet town you have to experience for yourself! I stopped in the Tavern on the James for a delicious burger and wonderfully personable service! I got the London Broil to take with me back to the Suite for dinner that night and I was blown away with the aesthetic of the property. Mitch has outdone himself with every detail of this hidden gem! So many interesting and unique things for you to see and experience for yourself! The beds were SO comfortable, the hot tub was AMAZING! If I could give more than 5 stars I would! I needed to recharge and wish I stayed much longer! It's a perfect place to relax, but also have an adventure and explore, think creatively, meditate and reflect on life! I would love to come back one day and bring my friends to experience the joy Whisper Creed brought me personally. ALSO you have to visit the Howardsville General Store! Delicious, made fresh food from the burgers and sandwiches to the hand cut french fries! The best part about the store is they encourage you to bring books to leave in their backroom, because they're FREE! I picked up one and hope to one day return and replace it with a book of my own! Book your stay NOW!

Although this location is about 25 minutes from the closest town, the quiet and wooded location was ideal for our trip. Highly recommend!

My friend of many years and I planned a long-overdue “girls’ weekend” away from the daily demands of life. We couldn’t have been more pleased with Mitch’s place. It’s small, yet very functional and comfortable. The location is remote, but well worth the drive. After spending our days taking in the sights and activities around Charlottesville it was nice to enjoy the peace and quiet in the evenings sitting on the terrace overlooking a beautiful wooded area or soaking in the hot tub. For a relaxing getaway, I would definitely recommend this home. Thanks Mitch, for sharing your beautiful home with us.

New, pristine space. Wonderfully quiet and off the beaten path. Great if you want to disconnect and enjoy nature without camping. Great for exploring wineries between Charlottesville, Appomattox, and Lynchburg. Internet is satellite and was disrupted by bad weather one afternoon. You may download content before going because streaming can be spotty. Don't plan on working remotely. But why would you want to? Enjoy this place for all that it offers!

Beautiful setting. Accurate description. Enjoyed the hot tub which was ready to use when we got there. Thank you ! The bathroom was awesome!! The owner was very thoughtful and provided many extras. The only thing we would suggest is more lighting for getting in and out of the hot tub at night.

Close to Avon Hill. Perfect place for those who are attending a wedding there!

3 of my friends and I spent the weekend at Whisper Creek for my birthday and had a great time. Mitch was a wonderful host and very kind! My only recommendations are to make sure you’re in a vehicle that can hand gravel roads and to bring bug/ wasp repellent!
He provided us with K-Cups, took out our trash, and dried out towels for us which we very much appreciated!

A lovely, quiet weekend away
My partner and I had an extremely relaxing weekend getaway here! Mitch was very kind and helpful, and the downstairs unit was very clean and cozy. The property is perfect for folks looking for a quiet escape to the woods. Mitch directed us to great walking trails nearby, and then we treated ourselves to fantastic sandwiches at the Howardsville General Store just a few minutes down the road. I highly recommend this listing!

Really relaxing and cute place!
The hot tub was awesome, really relaxing and quiet area, the view of the stars was also great. The fire pit was really cool because of the dome shape. Makes the flames look even more beautiful and fun to watch. Would rent here again!

Perfect relaxing getaway
Very cute property! We were looking for a relaxing place to stay for two nights before finally heading back home and this was the perfect place. Beautiful and peaceful area conveniently located to Charlottesville as well as many wineries! The hot tub was very relaxing under the stars. Don’t hesitate to book!

Very cute property. Clean and very quite. The only thing is that there was no TV. I didn't even think about it till we arrived and there was no TV. We played cards and enjoyed the surrounding area. Other than that it was a great trip.

The property and accommodations are exactly as described… and the hot tub was a great added surprise! It was super clean, Mitch was able to very flexible with our arrival time, and it was even more peaceful and serene than we were expecting. We were attending an event at nearby Avon Hill and this was only about an 8 minute drive to that location. I can’t recommend this place (or Mitch) enough - I’d give it 10 stars if I could!

If you'd like to spend time in a peaceful oasis, look no further. Mitch is a wonderful, friendly host who is willing to accommodate a little flexibility around set departure times. The property is nestled in the woods with a lovely patio that allows guests to enjoy nature while sipping their morning coffee or evening wine. The beds were super comfy. The bathroom was stocked with essentials as was the kitchen. We enjoyed a great weekend getaway!

Peaceful Retreat
Our stay in Howardsville was very nice, the house is located in peaceful, beautiful and safe area. Mitch was very gracious with recommendations, even loaned us a couple bag chairs and showed us how to get to the river to try some fishing. Home owner does live on main level, however with separate walk way and entrance, the lower level felt very private with a nice galley kitchen, table area, beautiful bathrooms and walk in shower, 2 nice bedrooms that open up to the covered patio and fire pit area. The views of the forest are spectacular in the morning. This is a dog friendly rentals that doesn't smell doggie at all. Great get away!!

A perfect getaway!
We booked this property as a stopover for some peace and solitude while traveling. Mitch is a great host - very friendly and accommodating. We especially appreciate that our labradoodle was welcome to stay. The apartment is located on the lower level of his house - beautifully decorated, fully stocked, and very clean. The internet service was excellent, but there is no TV (but why would you want one when you have a large fire pit outdoors, which Mitch readies for you, to sit by, sip wine, and listen to the fire crackle and the whisper of the wind in the trees. We enjoyed visiting a couple of wineries that were in close driving distance and the spectacular pastoral scenery that reminded me of the French countryside. We would definitely stay here again!

Outstanding place to relax
First I want to say the place was extremely clean. Communication was excellent as far as direction to the place. If you want a mini vacation to get away from the stresses of life this is your place. It was great to not have a TV....just sit back and relax. Enjoy the outdoors and wildlife. The card game that was left there were fun to play. You're not completely off the grid. They do have WiFi so checking E-mails or whatever is still possible. If your looking for a resurant to eat at it might be a 30 min drive. So plan occordingly if you are not planning on cooking stuff to eat.

Nice, quiet, relaxing stay.
One night stay as we were traveling through area. Great area for walking with our two dogs. Comfortable bed and fantastic shower. No tv, would be nice to have. Internet ok but not fast enough to stream without delays. Short overnight stay so not enough time to enjoy all amenities that were available. Good experience.

I have always given 5-star ratings to all my VRBO trips (and receiving the same as a guest), but I cannot do the same for our stay at this property.
The property is two stories and the host lives upstairs. The downstairs rental has its own entrance and is connected to the upstairs by an interior door that locks from the other side. It is new and clean with a kitchenette and a back patio with great views of the surrounding woods.
We understand that the upstairs portion of the house is the residence of the host, but the known presence of paying guests downstairs should be considered in how he conducts himself at home during that time. Noises from upstairs are heard clearly through the walls and the open windows. We were made to feel very uncomfortable by specific things that we heard.
We reached out to the host via VRBO message after our stay, but he did not respond.
Overall, our stay at this property did not meet our expected level of privacy that we that we felt should be observed (on both sides).
