We had a great time at whispering woods! The house was clean and fully stocked with everything we needed. Matt, our host was very communicative and responded to all questions very quickly. Check in was a breeze. The beds were super comfortable! Everything was kid friendly, no open stairways we had to worry about my crawler falling down! We highly recommend choosing whispering woods for your stay in The Hideout!

Great Stay!

We enjoyed a great Memorial Day Weekend! The fire pit was fantastic. Our 4 teens enjoyed the games in the basement and watched movies there at night. Matt was an outstanding host! He helped answer all our questions (almost immediately) and gave us great recommendations for eating out in the area. We highly recommend this house and the area for your next getaway!

Days by the lake

Cozy cabin in the woods

Great property in a community with plenty of things to do. The game room was a hit with the kids. Owner communication was great and everything was ready and working when we arrived. Would definitely rent again. For a rather sizeable community, the house felt very secluded (in a good way) with lots of privacy.
