Perfect Cozy Getaway
My husband and I felt the need for a last-minute weekend getaway, and this was exactly the right place for us! The decor and design create the ideal woodsy but comfortable mood, and the hosts seem to have thought of everything. I don't know if we've ever been to a place that could match it in level of thought put into the place! The fireplace is gas and was so easy to switch on and off as needed, and we snuggled up by the picture window and fireplace often, playing games or reading books or just chatting while sipping coffee. We saw deer and eagles and several littler birds. The hot tub was clean and so relaxing; everything worked great, and I love the string lights around it. The hosts provided all of the things we needed for the fire pit as well, including s'mores, and we could see a lot of stars from the peacefully isolated location. We also enjoyed the trail more than once and would definitely recommend it.
Good things to note as you prepare: there is a blackout curtain for the large window, even though we could not tell that from the pictures. That was very helpful! Also, as I am someone who wants to know what the bed will feel like at a place, it's a nice spacious king with comfortable bedding and a mattress that is on the firm side.
Overall, we could hardly have enjoyed this stay more! It was so wonderful to reconnect in this setting. We loved all of the luxurious details and felt so pampered just by being there! Thank you to the hosts for thinking of everything!

Perfect!
We chose to stay here as I was bringing my husband down to see Hermann. I was in Hermann several weeks ago for a girls trip and decided to come back for a weekend alone together. We had hot chocolate and scones at Espresso Laine, ate at Doxie slush, Tin Mill, and 4th street pizza, all were excellent! Stone Hill is a must visit. Do the cellar tour and a tasting!! Just a heads up there is no wifi or tv at the cottage which was fine but might not be for everyone. Very little service with ATT so just something to be aware of. We played Uno and loved the hot tub while it snowed! We will definitely be back, it was the quiet, slow pace weekend we were needing! Thank you for sharing such a great place! We loved it!

Blissful Stay
Whispering Pines is such a beautiful property nestled in the trees. We can’t say enough about our stay. Such fine accommodations and attention to details that really matter to guests. We found ourselves mesmerized by all of the birds visiting the feeder in our front row seats looking through the amazing wall of windows. The hot tub, couple’s shower, comfortable king sized bed and so many other details made our stay extra special. If you decide to take the short scenic drive to Hermann, stop by 4th Street Pizza for delicious pizza and then head to The Piano Bar for drinks and fun. Thank you to Wendy and the Whispering Pines team for our wonderful weekend away! Definitely adding this property to the top of our favorites list.

No Words
It’s hard to find the words to describe the week my partner and I spent here. For the last 6 years we take an annual getaway to disconnect from the busyness of life and reconnect with nature and ourselves. Out of all these getaways, Wendy’s cabin provided the best respite. It is nearly sound proof…so much do that we could see a truck driving on the gravel road but could not hear it. We saw so many birds, turtles, and frogs!! The hiking trail was phenomenal…it was so great not to have to drive somewhere to hike. We relaxed in the hot tub daily and enjoyed the fire pit nightly. The cedar logs provided by the hosts were a treat as they made the fire smell wonderful!
The amount of rest, relaxation, and restoration this cabin provided was beyond our expectations.
Thank you to our wonderful hosts for creating and sharing an opportunity to recharge in a beautiful environment! I look forward to coming back!

Bird watching, outdoor games & soaking in the hot tub were just what we needed. The hosts have put a lot of thought into the amenities allowing us to pack light.

Cabin was very clean & nice. They were easy to talk to if we had any questions etc. I personally shoulda looked closer at no TV & No WiFi. Giant sports fans & wanted to watch March Madness games. But again, that’s on me for not realizing they didn’t offer. If you want off the grid & relaxing. It’s the place for you.
