Holiday getaway

Second year in a row staying here. Loved visiting with our family, including our three young boys, for a mountain getaway. Easy access to Highlands, Cashiers and Sapphire Valley with lots to do. Beautiful and cozy home!

Cozy cabin in the mountains

Grata house! Clean, cozy and relaxing! It is a 15 minute drive to the Saphire Valley gym and pool etc, which I wish I knew ahead of time.

Filthy

It was difficult finding the property. The 3 3 miles of gravel road only big enough to fit one car, but allows both sides to come, is extremely daunting in rain. The house was filthy. Two inch thick black mold in the bathrooms, floors were not even vacuumed or swept, all the dishes were dirty, the bath had dirt coming out of the jets and the heater barely worked. The only blanket they give each bed is a very large comforter, that smelled like dirty unbathed men... we froze the first night. 21 degree weather and we are from Florida. Me and THREE CHILDREN froze. Although they did bring me comforters the next day, and somehow the heater worked after they left, I was still disappointed. They pride themselves on cleanliness, but based on my pictures and video- is very misleading. Do better! I don't get to vacation much. You ruined it. All they offered was 120 refund because i didn't want cleaners there while i was on vacation. I didn't take it because they wanted me to sign a contract. This place is disgusting.

Great cabin in the woods

Great location close to Sapphire, Cashiers and Brevard The outdoor seating was fantastic and circled the entire house. The house was well stocked with appliances, pots and pans, etc We had visitors who are birders and they loved the sounds and the location of the house near the top of the trees. Because of the wood construction you will hear the footsteps and sounds of anyone staying in the 2 bedrooms on the upper floor. Had a brief problem getting into the house because the cleaning service had locked the doorknob but we were instructed on an alternate method to get in

Peace and quit in the forest

We loved our stay at Whispering Pines! We live on the west coast of Florida and the cooler temperature in the NC mountains was just we wanted for a mini-vacation. The house/cabin is beautiful inside. We loved the layout with the master on the first level and the kitchen, dining and great rooms all open to each other. The wood walls and ceilings and the soaring stone fireplace gave the home a really cozy feel. I really loved the wrap around deck and the comfortable seating area that faced the back woods. It was stunningly peaceful to sit out there with a morning cup of coffee and just listen to the silence. Actually, I sat on the back deck at every opportunity and spent some afternoon time reading and napping there! It was great to have a gas grill available for making meals. The kitchen was well stocked with all the needed kitchen items such as pots, pans, dishes, service ware, coffee maker (not Keurig type), etc. All the bedrooms were nice sized and the master en suite bath was perfect with a really nice step in shower, 2 vanity sink areas and a large tub. We didn't use the two upstairs bedrooms as there were only 2 of us but they were very nicely decorated and roomy as was the rest of the house. Whispering Pines is in a cul-de-sac of a neighborhood that is very peaceful and quiet and surrounded by the sights and sounds of nature. I would recommend this property if you are looking to stay in this area on western NC.

Nice Cabin Inside...Outside property needs a spruce up

After trying to find the driveway- no address sign outside? and quite the over grown front drive and yard area- the cabin itself was quite nice and comfortable, better bedside lighting in the main bedroom would be helpful as it needs more light to read in bed, TV could use instruction manual, enjoyed the wrap porch and outside seating a lot, nice well equipped kitchen, had to leave garbage tied up in bags on the counter since I could not open the outside garbage can for the life of me so I was NOT ignoring your directions. Overall well equipped and comfortable and you could rent it for more if you fixed up the outside I bet!

The outside of the cabin was a mess, 20-30 cigarette butts on the ground by the trash can, trash on the ground, grass & landscaping was over grown, deck was rotting, wasps in the home, cant turn the AC below 70, beds were small, upstairs bed was sagging in the middle, glass windows were dirty, and you cant check in til 4, if you want to check in early they want another fee$$$. The VRBO service was horrible to deal with, very insulting. They threatened to charge me a cancellation fee if I changed my mind, even though I hadn't signed the actual contract yet. And lots of extra fees they sneak in after you book. Not happy at all. Would not go back ever.
