Plenty of room for our family! Fresh banana bread made by the owner! Easy Check-in process! Super quiet property! I’d suggest adding at least one trashcan near the bedrooms. Overall, a pleasant stay.

There was plenty of room for the four of us at Whisper Oaks. The host was very helpful getting us to the property and the home is just lovely. And the trees, oh my goodness, are they huge. Highly recommend this place.

Nacogdoches Country Home
We had the best time of our life. Mrs. Jacobs was an excellent hoist. There is nothing like Texas hospitality. She is the greatest hoist I have been around. The house was excellent and we enjoyed our stay. I will definitely be back. We did not want to leave, thank you for the hospitality.

Quiet country living
We had a wonderful stay at the Jacobs' ranch. We're accustomed to country living, so we thoroughly enjoyed the quiet during the month we stayed at the house. We particularly loved the family room; it was comfortable for reading & watching TV plus large enough that I could set up my quilting table and sew to my heart's content. Our hosts were wonderful--very quick to respond to our questions, suggesting nearby attractions they thought we might enjoy and bestowing delicious homemade baked goods on us. We enjoyed the days when we could sit outside in the sun on the back patio and soak up the February rays.

We enjoyed our weekend stay. We were in town for our daughters wedding. Latricia and Larry jumped into action to help when we arrived early with a wedding cake that wouldn’t fit in the venue refrigerator. They helped arrange it so that it did fit in the refrigerator here. She had baked the best brownies and left them for us and even had fresh tomatoes on the table. I want to come back just to be able to relax next time.

very relaxing & enjoyable stay!
We just came home from a beautiful and relaxing month at this property! Latricia is the hostess-with-the-mostest, checking in regularly, providing delicious treats, and responding immediately to questions or concerns! I never knew how relaxing watching cows could be (and even the unexpected visit from a neighboring herd was fun to be a part of). We were immersed in a different locality and way of life, which is what I love about VRBO traveling. I highly recommend this property and these hosts!

Whisper Oaks was an excellent 'base camp' for our family attending our brother's wedding in the area. The hosts are gracious and made sure we had everything we needed. We especially enjoyed the treats when we arrived and sitting out on the back patio under the trees.

Perfect for daughters SFA graduation
Whisper oaks was the perfect location for us to visit with some family members for our daughters graduation from SFA. It was so very homey, clean & comfortable…everything we needed was at our fingertips. Location was perfect to be out of the city & enjoy the quiet of the neighborhood at night sitting on patio. Everyone in our party agreed, such a wonderful home with so much character. Our hosts we very accommodating & provided all info needed for check in & some wonderful homemade brownies upon our arrival. We would recommend Whisper Oaks to anyone coming to visit Nacogdoches! Thank you for your genuine hospitality.

Thanksgiving Blessing
Easy to find, my sister and I caught up on twelve years in this farm setting. We enjoyed beautiful mornings with coffee in hand around the generous dining table and afternoons on the outside patio. The sitting rooms were perfect. One for us and one for the husbands. The views were amazing. The Whispering Oaks made you aware of all the life that existed on the farm, past and present. Each night we came in from a fun day with friends and family escaping to this charming setting. Our pet dog also enjoyed room to run around and a haven for sleep. Our host had brownies for our coffee and made a pecan pie that was included in our Thanksgiving feast —not to mention a fridge full of soft drinks and water. Clean, comfortable, your home away from home, we will be back.

The Good Life
Beautiful property nestled away in the middle Of East texas countryside. I barely have the words to describe how amazing this property is. It was so so soooo relaxing! The folks in the area are very friendly. The owners very responsive. Best part is they’re dog friendly!! They left the cutest set of treats out and even some muffins and cookies. The history surrounding the area is awesome! There is a little graveyard out a little ways down front with some amazingly old graves. I went ahead and cleared some that were a little overgrown and had a history and good citizenship lesson with my littles. I will definitely be back here when I go up to visit my uncle near Aiken.
