Great stay

We stayed at the house for 3 nights and was the perfect setting for us. That house was our home base for going out and visiting local museums in Missouri and Kansas. We walked down the nice trails down to the river and enjoyed seeing a lot of wild life. Our stay was relaxing and very peaceful. Andy was a great host and answered any questions we had in a timely manner. Would definitely stay here again if in the area.

Wonderful Getaway

My daughters and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Whispering Pines. It was like a perfect paradise in the middle of nowhere, but it was easy to get to town and other locations. It is perfectly placed.Additionally, the house was clean and comfortable. It was well stocked with anything we could possibly need. We will be back in the future!

Beyond expectations

When you stay at Whispering Pines, expect clean spotless lodgings and seclusion. We saw the deer that roam the property daily—if not from the kitchen window, then on our way in or out of the property. We enjoyed hiking right on the property down to the Gasconade River several times. (Prepare for a workout on the way back to the cabin.) Full-size good quality shampoo, conditioner, and body wash were provided in both bathrooms. K-cups were complimentary and in ample supply. Beds were comfortable and clean. Internet access was reliable. Andy was fantastic and very very helpful when needed. We recommend Whispering Pines for anyone who values quiet and seclusion or just needs respite from dealing with other people. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Excellent Getaway at Whispering Pines!

Our stay at Whispering Pines was very peaceful and enjoyable. The property is beautiful and very well maintained. The house was immaculate and well stocked, which we really appreciated. Certainly, a great getaway location and access to the multiple trails on the property is a very nice feature. We look forward to staying at Whispering Pines again!

Peaceful retreat

We enjoyed our stay! The house was comfortable, spotless and well stocked. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch surrounded by the nearby woods. So quiet and peaceful. We appreciated walking on the road and would have hiked the trails if we had more time. There was a put in on the Gasconade river a short drive away - beautiful float trip and good fishing. If we return to this area, we will definitely hope to stay here again.

Perfect Pandemic Escape

My wife and I were looking for a perfect place to get away from the noise and pressure of our altered reality in this pandemic. What drew us to this “cabin in the woods” was the wooded driveway in the photo of the listing as well as the high rating for cleanliness and peace and quiet. It did not disappoint! Situated in a beautiful peaceful setting surrounded by forest, this home was the cleanest we have rented by far. At night there is absolute quiet and no lights outside unless you want them. We enjoyed walking in the surrounding woods and on a rainy day we drove a half hour to visit the Laura Ingalls Wilder museum and the home where she wrote the “Little House” books. A delightful afternoon. Lots to see with the museum and two house tours. One could easily spend half a day there. Lunch at a small diner 18 minutes away in nearby Hartville was another fun outing. Check in and out were hassle free. Walking in the house, it still had that “recently built” clean smell. It was a perfect pandemic escape!

The perfect place for quiet reflection

This is a beautiful, clean, comfortable property, set apart from the craziness of the world; tucked away into a idyllic, scenic woodland setting where there are no sounds other than that of nature and our own voices when we so chose to talk and laugh. Much of our time was spent on the back porch (though we also enjoyed the front porch), sitting in quiet reflection, taking in the silence and the beauty of nature, watching and photographing the deer and wide variety birds, turtles, and other natural inhabitants. We enjoyed not hearing ANY other sounds (no sirens, no neighbors, no dogs barking, etc. - wonderful!). It was a complete and perfect break from our reality back home. The house is pristinely clean and yet instantly comfortable to settle into; everything about it is wonderful! The king bed was spacious and comfortable, we enjoyed using the grill, the kitchen is well stocked, and the recliners in the living room were a welcome respite after a long day. We made this our base point for our Ozark travels; the Branson area (though not our thing) is a scenic 1 1/2 hour drive to the west where we spent an enjoyable couple of hours at Bear Creek Wine Co. (beautiful location); we also enjoyed a scenic drive in the opposite eastward direction to Alley Spring & Mill and Viandel Vineyard, and of course an amazing visit to the Laura Ingalls Wilder Museum/Rocky Ridge Farm, in Mansfield (only a short 30 minute drive), fulfilled a lifelong dream and was well worth the visit. We highly recommend this home to anyone seeking a comfortable, beautiful place where you can reconnect to one another or to oneself.

Clean, cozy and modern escape

Brand new, very well equipped home. Lots of privacy, peace and quiet. Off main roads no traffic. Andy was very helpful. I had cell service everywhere. Only maybe negative was no internet. I took movies to watch, when we we were not enjoying the outdoors.

Getting away from it ALL

If you are looking for a great place to get away from everything, this is it. Beautiful house, set on 40 acres with trails. Nothing but the sound of the wind blowing through the trees. No neighbors, no traffic, just peace and quite. If you are looking for a place which has wi-fi, cell service (especially with AT&T) or tons of attractions at your finger tips, this is NOT it. But if you are wanting to get away from everything, un-connect, this IS IT. We loved the place. Andy, the owner is great and we will definitely be back!!!!!!!

Clean clean clean!

This was the perfect place for us - quiet and secluded! The house is GREAT - there are no photos of the master suite with the listing which there really should be - it's very nice. Everything is new and clean! Spacious, nice kitchen. We were a bit late getting in and Andy was very accommodating, meeting us up the road so we could follow him down to the house. He bleached all the door handles before we arrived and brought us some hand sanitizer to keep on the table. Will absolutely be back the next time we're looking for a quiet weekend in the country!

Great secluded area north of Hartville

This place was a quiet and secluded getaway spot for couples to go to. Deep in the woods with wildlife and trails to hike. Easy walk to the Gasconade river. Very clean and nice facility. There is a nice little Amish lunch and dinner spot around the corner about 15-20 minutes away called R&M Dutch cooking. I would come back!
