Your family will love being together here.
Lovely and comfortable home for family fun and memory making. The hosts thought of everything guests would need. The kitchen is wonderful. We also enjoyed the campfire ring and could see so many stars in the clear night skies! Beautiful countryside surroundings but also close to the town of Bedford with many quaint shops. We enjoyed touring Old Bedford Village, too.

Nice fall weekend
The home had so many thoughtful details, it contributed to a wonderful weekend shared with good friends. No more than 10 minutes to town or Bedford Springs, but still a real country feel. Nice outside amenities including firepit, adirondaks, hot tub. Great communication with owners, we would definately do again.

GIRLS TRIP!
Four friends celebrating a 50th birthday...This property is amazing! It is beautifully decorated and has everything you would need for a perfect stay. One of the nicest touches was nice, simple white robes for time out at the immaculate hot tub and fire pit. Wood was provided as well! We would recommend this property! A 12 on a scale of 1-10!

This property really had everything that you would need. It was like stepping into someone’s house not just a rental. From kitchen appliances to extra blankets and pillows. You can tell this host thought of it all. Thanks for a great weekend!

Nice place for peace and quiet.
There was just two of us and we found it very nice. Had everything we needed. Disappointed that the weather didn’t cooperate as we would have loved to use hot tub. Added bonus was bird watching both out back and on the front door. Sorry we forgot to sign the guest book.

Perfection
Our family gathered over the New Year holiday weekend and it was perfect! Beautifully decorated, every amenity you can think of. The beds (even in the children’s room) were very comfortable. We loved the children’s room! My husband called it the KOA😂. The home was spotless. I highly recommend this home!

Perfect accommodations for our family
It’s obvious that the hosts gave thought to every possible need of their guests. A large closet on the second floor is devoted to a wide range of items travelers may have forgotten to bring. The renovations are beautiful and decor makes each space cozy and comfortable. Beds were terrific and all spaces were spotless. Hostess Kelly generously accommodated a special request and was very communicative prior to and during our stay. We’re very appreciative that this property was available to our family during the Easter weekend, as it dovetailed perfectly with the rest of our plans.

Perfect friend getaway!!
From the moment I booked this house Deseree and Kelly were amazing. They responded to every message I sent within the hour. The house was breathtaking, and the decor was fresh and calming. You can tell that Deseree is a host who wants to take care of her guests with all the extra touches. These include, but are not limited to a pack and play, coffee pods, games, etc. thank you again, Deseree!! Sincerely, Maggie F.

A perfect weekend getaway for all ages
We absolutely loved our stay at Whispering Pines Retreat and hope to return one day! This was a gift to our parents (70+) to spend time together with our five children. The home was beautiful and has more amenities than we were able to use at the time! The items provided for use were exceptional as well, it was nice not to worry to bring towels, paper plates, etc. We aren’t coffee drinkers, but I know that would have been appreciated by many. My kids are still talking about the “Wilderness” room that they were eager to retreat to after a day of exploring. The games, tv accessibility, etc. were nice as well since we had a stormy evening. I couldn’t praise this property, and the owners, more highly!

Great place.
Very clean and the owners are very organized. We enjoyed every minute of our stay. Small children will love the one bedroom we thought it was great. The location is perfect, away from town but only minutes to get there. We recommend it to anyone.

Wonderful!
We really enjoyed our stay! Such a cute house in beautiful Bedford county! We attended the fall foliage festival, as we have been for years, and decided to give this house a try. It was stocked with everything we needed, it was very clean and maintained, and we absolutely loved relaxing in the hot tub and having a fire at night. Would definitely stay again!
