Great Stay!

We enjoyed a great Memorial Day Weekend! The fire pit was fantastic. Our 4 teens enjoyed the games in the basement and watched movies there at night. Matt was an outstanding host! He helped answer all our questions (almost immediately) and gave us great recommendations for eating out in the area. We highly recommend this house and the area for your next getaway!

The Host was very responsive to all the requests and always available. The community was at a great location and the amenities were perfect. We would love to stay there again.

Great Place to Stay

Stayed here with friends and family for President’s Day Weekend. It was very clean and beds were comfortable. Kids loved the basement games and entertainment areas which are well spread out. Cooked almost all our meals on site and found the kitchen to have everything we needed. Matt was great to deal with and it was obvious that our comfort was important to him. He gave us great suggestions and a thoughtful welcome gift. I’d recommend this place to anyone!

Absolutely beautiful home!!!

The house is very homey and brand new. The entire house is clean with beautiful paintings. Very cozy. The kids had a blast even though they spent the entire weekend indoors due to rain. Highly recommended!!! Would definitely rent this property again!! The owner is very prompt in response to all questions!!!

Perfect property for multiple families!

I chose this property particularly for the game room given the uncertainty of the weather conditions and to ensure the kids had plenty of options to keep them busy. It thunderstormed when we arrived and a full day and evening during our stay so I made a good choice as the kids were quite satisfied to stay indoors. This place can easily sleep 3-4 families; so many room and sleeping options! The pool/lake area was a five minute drive and though crowded on Sat since it was the best day of the 4 days we spent here, the crowds were to be expected. Claws and Paws small zoo was only 10 minutes away and we spent only two hours of our trip there since it was so close. Overall a very nice trip!

We had a great time at whispering woods! The house was clean and fully stocked with everything we needed. Matt, our host was very communicative and responded to all questions very quickly. Check in was a breeze. The beds were super comfortable! Everything was kid friendly, no open stairways we had to worry about my crawler falling down! We highly recommend choosing whispering woods for your stay in The Hideout!

Great Birthday Celebration

We went to The Hideout to celebrate my mom’s 96th birthday and had a wonderful time! The house was perfect for the 7 of us. The host, Matt, checked in with us when we arrived to make sure everything was ok. Although we were all adults, the house is great for kids, too. The location is perfect and the amenities were just as described. We barbecued, hung out on the deck, explored the area and spent evenings all together in the cozy living room. It was so much fun and mom loved it.

Cozy cabin in the woods

Great property in a community with plenty of things to do. The game room was a hit with the kids. Owner communication was great and everything was ready and working when we arrived. Would definitely rent again. For a rather sizeable community, the house felt very secluded (in a good way) with lots of privacy.
