We had an incredible stay at the sisters lodge. You can clearly see they have put much time and effort into their space, have thought of every need, and even notated all possible questions on plaques through the house for ease. The blankets were plenty, wild life abundant and peace at maximum. I could want for nothing during my stay at the Whispering Pines. We will certainly be visiting again. Thank you!!!

Great place out in the country. Hosts had everything well stocked. Even had cookie dough in the freezer for people to make cookies. This is a 100% perfect rental. Would certainly recommend this place.
