Whistle and Quill Lodge

Over the river and through the woods to the Whistle and Quill Lodge we go! Newly renovated and near the Savage River State Forest, Jennings Randolf Lake, and Backbone Mountain - this lovely home provides the perfect escape for outdoor lovers and adventure enthusiasts alike.

Surrounded by the sounds of the forest, the outside of this home is a place of pure peace. Find yourself dining alfresco on the balcony, barbecuing on the provided gas grill, and gathering around the firepit come nightfall.

Inside, the first level of the home boasts a full kitchen with marble countertops and stainless steel appliances. Adjacent to the kitchen, the open-concept living room comes complete with plenty of seating, a wood-burning fireplace, a large TV, and gorgeous views of the wooded mountains. Three of the home's bedrooms are on this floor, each adorned with wilderness mementos, ample natural lighting, and comfortable linens. Off the primary bedroom, you'll be pleased to discover a large jacuzzi tub with TV access - soak, stream, and relax!

Downstairs, the family room is ready to host hours of entertainment with its foosball table, air hockey table, bar, and wood stove. A designated office room, a separate laundry room, and an additional large bedroom are available on this level.

As the sun begins to set over the mountains, head outside and enjoy the mesmerizing stargazing opportunities.

Great getaway weekend
This house has it all. We had a wonderful weekend. The only head scratcher is that the master bathroom is off the kids bedroom.

Our Whistle and Quill Getaway
We really enjoyed our stay at the Swanton Whistle and Quill Cabin. We had a great time. We were very impressed with the sporting based theme and high quality, thoughtful items located throughout the cabin. We would love to have a chance to use the Cabin again. It is obvious how much effort goes into the maintenance and upkeep of this property. FOR MANAGEMENT. In the spirit of helping to keep it up, I’m sharing these observations and suggestions. The Guest Information Book would be more helpful if it were located upstairs near the entrance rather than in the office. We swept with a broom many times but didn’t know there was a vacuum sweeper until we were loading to leave. Consider providing a list of things available for use like pots, blankets, vacuum, etc. The tracks of sliding doors inside and out need cleaned. There were lots of bugs inside the lower level and on the porches. A treatment program would be helpful. The seat cushions on the outside furniture were soaked from rain. A suggestion would be to clean and dry them and put them in clear garbage bags to use when needed. A thoughtfully located dog cable is located at the corner of the house. We’ve used a telephone pole anchor bolt installed level with the ground surface to be a carefree, secure way to provide a dog cable anchor point.
