Whispering Pines Grand Estate

Whispering Pines is a Luxury estate for 16+ people. This 5000 square foot home has 7 Bedrooms and 4 bathrooms there's plenty of space to host your very large family reunion or perhaps the wedding of your dreams amongst the tall beautiful pine trees on this 12 acres of private forest. With plenty of parking space for vehicles or trailers you will never feel crowded.
Privacy is no issue here weather you are in the home or out on the giant wrap around deck enjoying the 8 person hot tub over looking the 3 plus acres of well manicured grass. There are 2 fire pits to sit next to as you relax and listen to the sounds of nature. If relaxing inside is more your thing then you will find the large reclining leather couches along with giant televisions and whole home audio system an easy way to sit back and forget about your troubles. There's a 150 inch projection theater room in the walk out lower level that has a X Box gaming system. In every bedroom you will find a TV and Roku ultra powered by Starlink internet so no matter how many people you have no one will be fighting over use of the remote or what to watch.
If you have little ones we have created a private space just for them too. There's a fantasy princess spot along with a children's wildlife cubby.
Are you a foodie? Well then perhaps you will enjoy our full size chefs kitchen as well as the 16 places to sit both inside as well as out on the wrap around deck so you can enjoy the meal you have prepared using our giant 6 burner stove with griddle long with 2 separate ovens. The oversize sub-zero refrigerator has plenty of space to hold all your items. Don't worry about bringing your own knives or utensils as we have provide you with Cutco cutlery and hi end silverware. Not to mention there is a large blender, air fryer, insta pot, counter top griddle, oversized crockpot, toaster, and a Keurig coffee pot for 12 cups or individual pods.
If you are worried about being cold, worry no further. The in floor heating system will have you dancing barefoot and enjoying your self as you watch the flames dance around in the oversize wood burning fireplace with plenty of provided firewood after getting out of the 8 person hot tub just outside the master bedroom. You might also relax in the master bathroom tub which easily accommodate two people as well as the walk in shower with 7 spray heads.
The home is wheelchair friendly as the master bedroom and bathroom have oversized doors. There is only 2 small steps to enter the home after that everything you need is accessible on the main level including the front load washer and dryer in the giant laundry room where we provide detergent, bleach, and fabric softener. There is also a utility sink if you need to soak or rinse off anything.
Outside amongst the pine tress and grass we have put up 2 ax throwing targets as well as an Giant Treehouse that has a flat screen TV and XBox gaming system. If you want to adventure out away from the estate we are only 5 miles from Vallecito Reservoir where I can guide you on a fishing expedition or rent you one of my multiple boats. If you are looking to go skiing or ride the Silverton narrow gage train the home is centrally located and is a quick easy drive to get into Durango as well as to Puragatory ski resort. All events will need prior approval before booking with the understanding that we have an event fee for events having more then 20 guests. Thank you

Family Gathering
There were seventeen of us at this property. The kids really enjoyed all the things available: xbox, foosball, pinball, ladder ball. The house was user friendly and very well equipped with everything. We enjoyed playing together, cooking together and just hanging out. I would recommend this house with a great yard for kids to anyone.

Oh My Goodness!!!
This property is spectacular!! From the finest kitchen set up ever to the most heavenly yard to gather in and play outside. Then there's axe throwing and a hot tub and the most amazing tree house my three year old grandson LOVED and my 88 year old parents HAD to go see. It was splendid. I would definitely come back! Thank you!!!

Cozy Christmas
Our family group of 14 stayed here to enjoy a Christmas celebration and ride the Durango Polar Express! The house is gorgeous and was decorated beautifully for Christmas! The configuration fit our group perfectly, as we ranged in age from 60 to 16mos. The playroom was fantastic for all our grandchildren (they loved all the toys and themes!) and the teen and young adults enjoyed the media room, ax throwing, and beautiful and secluded grounds for a walk. The kitchen was superbly stocked and we ate all our meals at the house rather than fighting large crowds, hungry little ones and long wait times at restaurants. Can’t say enough about this place! Amazing!! We would DEFINITELY stay here again!

Great Location and Space for a Family Gathering
The pictures do not do this property justice. The home was fully stocked with everything you could need which included blow up mattresses, extra blankets, pack n play, laundry detergent, spices, plenty of dishes, grills and towels. The kitchen, living and patio space allowed us to enjoy each others company. The rooms were spacious and beds were comfortable. We felt at home. James went above and beyond to make sure all our needs were met! The 13 acres was amazing for our kids ages from 2 to 11 to explore for hours. Hope to return soon

Destination wedding in the area
Everyone in our party was blown away by how nice your places is especially our 2 grandkids they loved getting to sleep in the play area and all the other fun things they could do while they were there. All the adults really enjoyed themselves as well, and are already talking about when we can come back next year to enjoy your place again.

Colorado Dream Home
This was such an an amazing stay for our extended family. The house wasn't far from Bayfield and Durango but was very secluded. The furnishings were beautiful- the kitchen was a chefs dream, the views were spectacular including the deer that showed up in the mornings as we had coffee on the deck. This place is set up to meet every expectation - music inside and out, TV's in almost every room, hot tub on the deck, board games, pinball machine, movie theater, temp controls in almost every room, a Traeger smoker and a gas grill, propane firepit for smores as well as a wood burning firepit . We left the property to go sightseeing, but honestly we could have been content without ever leaving. James met us at the property to show us all the controls for the electronics and room controls. He and Dana were very responsive and accommodating. Can't say enough good things. Thanks James and Dana for an epic week!!!

Amazing home with amazing privacy and views
First of all, James, the host was always very prompt to respond to any questions we had. He was very informative and nice to work with. He is very knowledgeable about the area and has suggestions for activities around the lakes and in Durango and beyond. The home was very comfortable with top-grade appliances. We enjoyed the movie theater room, pinball machine, corn hole, outdoor fire pit, axe throwing, and eating outdoors on the patio. The lounge furniture in the living area is super comfortable with plenty of space. The bedrooms all have nightstands with an area to charge devices. We loved the home and the hosts. Can't say enough about this beautiful home and area.
