A Typical Day at Whispering Pines
Start your morning on the porch as sunrise drifts across the pond and deer move quietly through the pines. Brew your favorite drink from the premium coffee bar and ease into the day — fishing from the dock, taking out the canoe or pedal boat, gliding across the water in the flat-bottom boat, or simply enjoying the stillness by the water.
As the day unfolds, wander miles of private forest trails and logging roads, pause at quiet overlooks, watch for wildlife, or explore the property by Polaris Ranger EV (if reserved). Back at the cabin, make lunch together in the fully equipped kitchen, share a meal at the large dining table, or curl up with a book as the light shifts across the pond.
In the afternoon, cool off with a swim, hike to the hidden spring-fed pool tucked deep in the woods, or enjoy a slow moment indoors — movie time in the loft, a nap on comfortable beds with natural fiber bedding, or quiet conversation in the living room.
As evening settles in, fire up the grill in the outdoor kitchen or soak in the hot tub beneath a sky full of stars. Gather around the firepit under soft lighting for s’mores and unhurried conversation, then end the night in complete silence — the kind only possible on 300 acres of uninterrupted land.
