Whispering Pines is an amazing place to stay for a little mountain getaway🌲🌲 The staff are great people and extremely helpful. Close enough to town to be convenient but away enough that you feel like you’re alone in nature💙

Lovely place to have a short stay. If we had known in advanced how much we would have enjoyed it we would have stayed longer. We had a plum room overlooking the river and mountains with a balcony to boot, and the swimming pool, though unheated was pleasurable to use and also had magnificent views.
