Our stay at Whispering Pines exceeded all expectations! The cabin and surrounding area are even prettier than the pictures reflect. Checking in was a breeze and the cabin was spotless when we arrived. The host (Michael) provided everything needed for a wonderful stay. The cabin was well equipped with all the essentials. The outdoor gas fireplace and hot tub added a special touch. A visit from a family of deer very close to the cabin put our stay over the top! We plan to return as soon as we can!
House was beautiful!! As our kids said by far the best vacation house we have ever stayed at. My only regret is not booking another night. We are already planning a return trip!!
This was our second vacation stay at this cabin which says a lot. The cabin is gorgeous and exceptionally clean. The location is perfect; you're situated among tons of pine trees and boulders and you're just a couple minutes from Hwy 24 that takes you everywhere. Everything you need is stocked and ready for use. This is definitely our go to for a getaway!
The house was beautiful! Well put together and taken care of, very clean, no detail was forgotten. Host was easy to reach (we had a couple questions before arrival), he provided check-in instructions ahead of time, it makes me nervous when some wait til the day of. I highly recommend this property, we would definitely stay again!
This property is gorgeous and met every single need of our family of 4! We spent our days hiking or being tourists and returned to our luxury retreat in the woods! We loved having family breakfast before getting our day started and relaxing in the hot tub after our long hikes!
The cabin was everything as described, even better! Clean, a full kitchen, views! Just perfect for a little getaway to celebrate our oldest turning 13! And just enough off the beaten path to feel like you have your own little slice of heaven.
The property was very well cared for, lots of great amenities both for entertaining and cooking. The host was very responsive. Would definitely come back.
Four of us stayed in this house for two nights. It is such a beautiful house, and very comfortable. Several places to sit and lounge, eat, and play board games (inside and out). The loft area is so cozy and adorably set up.We thought the beds were great and there were plenty of towels and linens.The kitchen is one of the most well stocked with cookware, dishes and utensils that I've ever experienced. You will need to bring condiments with you if you plan to cook. But they do have it stocked with herbs/spices, some cooking oil and pancake syrup. One of our favorite spaces was the deck and hot tub (which was nice and spacious). We did have issues with the fireplaces, but I get the feeling that was a one-off occurrence. We contacted the owner about it, and I'm sure they made sure it was all set for the next occupants. We loved the pool table in the lower level, and played several rounds.The only reason I gave the location four stars was because we were close enough to a highway to hear the cars rushing by. But if that doesn't bother you, it's a 5-star location, too! The site is beautiful and very interesting. Every view from the house is immersive, feeling "away from it all". Cute little branch teepees are on the property, making it very fun to explore. There are all kinds of things to find.All in all, we loved this place and would definitely stay here again!
We couldnât have asked for a better stay! This cabin was exactly as describedâbeautifully maintained, well-appointed, and incredibly peaceful. Tucked away in a quiet, secluded spot, it gave us the privacy and serenity we were looking for, while still being just a short drive from great restaurants, shopping, and attractions in Manitou Springs and surrounding areas.The interior was spotless and cozy, with all the comforts of home. We especially appreciated the thoughtful touches throughout the space that made it clear the owners truly care about their guestsâ experience. Whether we were sipping coffee on the large deck, enjoying the hot tub under the stars, or simply relaxing by the fireplace, every moment felt like a true escape.Weâve stayed in many cabins over the years, and this one stands out as one of our favorites. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway with easy access to the best the area has to offer.
I booked this stay for my wife and I anniversary. The location was absolutely quiet and peaceful, easy to get to, and the kitchen had everything you would need to cook.
It was a great place close to a ton of fun things to do outside. Our only complaint is that there was practically no curtains in the house. The bathrooms had half curtains but the living room and kitchen were completely open. I think this is more of a personal preference in my opinion. Otherwise it was great.
Everything was fantastic. Beds were comfortable, fireplace was beautiful, Mountain Views from the hot tub, everything was superb. Pool table in the basement was fun as were all the games that they had in the loft. Very well maintained property, just like the other one this owner has next door that we have also stayed at.
Our host communicated with us very quickly, and we have no complaints. The driveway is fairly steep with a 90-degree turn, so our minivan had trouble with it. When the reservation says four-wheel-drive is highly recommended, take it seriously!
This property was exactly what we needed for some time away from school and work and the city. I took my 18 year old daughter here for her birthday and we had the best time. The cabin was absolutely beautiful and very clean. The kitchen was nicely stocked and has every tool/accessory you can think of. The beds were very cozy and had lots of blankets available - which I appreciated. We enjoyed playing the games provided and watching movies. We especially loved the fire place that you could turn on and off with the push of a button and the wonderful hot tub, which we used every night. The property itself was breathtaking and had so much snow on the ground. We really enjoyed walking around the property and sinking in the snow and taking in the views and fresh mountain air. It was incredibly quiet and peaceful outside and inside the cabin. We couldnât have enjoyed ourselves any more and I am grateful that we found this place. It was perfect!
Amazing Property. Great location, great amenities. Kitchen appliances brand new and in general was a wonderful cabin. We recommend this place to anyone!
Everything is exactly how it is described in the listing. BUT, pictures donât do it justice. You have to experience it in person. This property delivers in so many ways. Your first impression, âamazingâ. The moment you walk through the door, you feel like your home. There is not one detailed missed.or one amenity overlooked. Michael is a fabulous host, communication spot on, answering questions quickly. Side note, if you are planning on visiting during snow season, rent or drive a 4 wheel drive. We could not of asked for a better experience than what we received. Thank you Michael for allowing us the privilege to stay in such a wonderful home.
This property is exactly as described and so sweet. It was clean and neat. Layout was easy to navigate and all the information we needed was in the binder. Host was also easy to contact and responded quickly. The location is absolutely beautiful! We were there in winter and did definitely need a 4x4 (or all-wheel) to get up the slippery slope but soooo worth it. You feel nestled in the woods; there were deer walking right past the window. It was a sweet, snowy hideaway. We watched movies in the living room with the fireplace going and played pool downstairs while watching the snow. We would love to go back and bring our kiddos next time. Also, highly recommend Grandmother's Kitchen for breakfast in Woodland Park. It's been good every time we've visited over the last 15 years.
