We had the most delightful stay at Whispering Pines—a true hidden gem surrounded by the beauty of nature. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with open arms by the wonderful manager, Jeremy, whose hospitality made us feel instantly at home. A special shout-out to Kele, who went above and beyond helping us at the restaurant, bar, and reception. Her cheerful laugh and radiant energy lit up every space she was in—it truly added to the charm of the place! The resort itself is stunning, with majestic old trees and a tranquil forest walk that invites you to slow down and breathe. The two-sleeper chalet we stayed in was both luxurious and cozy, perfect for a relaxing retreat. We absolutely recommend trying the pub meals—especially the Eisbein, which was hearty, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Our only regret? Booking for just one night! We’ll definitely be back in the summer to soak up the sunshine by the pool and stay even longer. Can’t wait to return to this little slice of paradise! Treat yourself and enjoy the facilities and definitely support the restaurant.
Not having been here before, I didn’t have much to gauge on. I was more than pleasantly surprised by what we experienced! The accommodation (Standard Room #4) was more than sufficient and nicely set up. Renovated bathroom was lovely. The breakfast in the morning was well prepared and if you ask nicely, they will even set up a picnic for breakfast on the lawns. But the best of all, was the staff!!! Israel, Lucky and all the staff were more than willing to go the extra mile without any effort and without me even asking. There’s not a ton to do there, but if you’re looking for a TOTAL relaxing weekend away from the city??? This is THE PLACE!
Beautiful weekend getaway ... peaceful and romantic with fireplaces in the rooms. The game's room was lovely but the pool table and dart board needed repair. Meals were very well prepared and service was excellent. I would definitely go back ... value for money and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
