The cottage was perfect for our weekend trip to Gainesville. The interior was clean and cozy. Peter was an excellent host who was extremely communicative and that made everything about our stay much easier. I would definitely recommend this property for a small group looking to stay in a nice, safe, clean environment that is a little bit removed from all the hustle and bustle of the nearby towns.

It was a great stay. A nice cozy home. The shower is amazing. Off the beat and path, but close to a gas station. A little hard to find the gate, maybe a sign would help. Very cozy and a warm country feel. The decor is nice. We loved the retro fridge, and was thankful for the filtered water. The communication was amazing. Very prompt and responsive.

We had an amazing time staying in this sweet barn. We enjoyed time sitting outside enjoying the quite evenings by the propane firepit. The barn was super clean, and the layout was an excellent use of space. We will definitely stay again.

The defining characteristic of this estate is the profound quiet. We heard virtually no traffic or neighborhood noise, making it the perfect sanctuary for reading and, enjoying deep, uninterrupted sleep. It felt like a true escape from the bustle of the city. The Property and Host: The space itself was immaculate, thoughtfully decorated, and extremely comfortable. Peter was an excellent host, providing easy check-in instructions and prompt, helpful communication. We highly recommend this property to anyone looking for genuine peace and quiet. We can't wait to return!

Staying at the cabin was a wonderful experience. Peter and Diana were great hosts, very communicative and welcoming. We were greeted with flowers, chocolates and hand written card. Place is fitted with all new amenities, well equipped kitchen with dishes and even a washer/dryer combo. There are two bedrooms in the loft area, one with queen bed and other with two twin beds. Full bathroom with shower with multiple shower heads. Overall this tiny house provided everything we could possibly ask for. Highly recommended.

A Beautiful, Elegant Cabin That Made Our Family Reunion Unforgettable. Our stay at The Whispering Grove Retreats was absolutely wonderful. The cabin is beautiful, filled with thoughtful details, elegant touches, and a warm, cozy feeling that makes you feel at home right away. You can truly feel the love and care that went into creating this space. This trip was very special for our family, as it was the first time in 9 years that the four of us could spend time together again, and this cabin became the perfect place for us to reconnect and create beautiful memories. The cabin truly had everything we needed. There was a large double-door refrigerator with water, a washer, and a fully equipped kitchen with everything needed to prepare meals, including pots, pans, and all the essentials. There was also a coffee maker with coffee, tea, and hot chocolate capsules, soft towels for the shower, deliciously comfortable pillows, and everything needed to serve meals, including full dinnerware and utensils. Every detail was thoughtfully prepared to make guests feel comfortable and cared for. Peter and Diana were kind, thoughtful hosts who stayed in constant communication and checked in to make sure we were doing well. Everything was well organized and welcoming. We would happily return and highly recommend this peaceful retreat to anyone looking for a special and relaxing getaway.
