Good to know

Unique Opportunity! The owner’s of this beautiful home are currently away on a mission trip to Guatemala specifically helping widows and children. Your reservation helps to make this amazing mission possible - thank you ❤️! Upon entering Whispering Woods, you’ll be greeted by a half bathroom along with plenty of hooks to hang your coat and belongings. Continue into the large, open concept kitchen which is fully stocked and ready for cooking meals together with your family or friends. Pull up a seat at one of 3 counter stools or sit around a large table with seating for 6 in the dining area. Right off the kitchen space is the first bedroom complete with a comfortable full sized bed along with a nice work space and a bathroom. The spacious bathroom offers a large vanity and a stand up shower. Also on the main floor is a cozy living room with plenty of seating, lots of board games to enjoy and a beautiful stone gas fireplace (non-functional in 2026 going forward). French doors lead into a large sunroom with gorgeous views of the surrounding trees and landscape. The sunroom contains additional comfortable seating for that delicious morning coffee, a gas fireplace as well as a smart TV with a DVD/VHS player (DVD’s provided). A door leads out into the back yard space where there is a beautiful pergola with an outdoor table and chairs to enjoy meals with family and friends. Heading downstairs, there is a large bedroom with a king sized bed, access to outdoor spaces, and plenty of closet and dresser space. This room would be perfect for a family with a pack and play or cots for children. The bedroom is connected to a large bathroom with a full sized bathtub/shower combination. It also contains the washer and dryer along with an ironing board and iron. A second bedroom in the lower level offers two beds - a queen bed and a full sized bed. Two air mattresses are also provided for additional sleeping arrangements. Connected to the house is an insulated and heated two stall garage. The garage contains a dedicated gym/workout space with a bench, weights, a fan and a punching bag. There is also a lawn Jenga game and a desk and chair. There is space in the garage to park one vehicle during your stay along with space for up to 5 vehicles in the driveway.

This Air bnb was great! My Auntie was ready to move in! It was very clean and had everything we needed. The stars at night were beautiful. Just all around lovely and peaceful. They had literally everything we could need. The beds were comfortable. Coffee in a window-filled room. Loved it. Angela is a friendly and helpful host. What more can I say? We had a wonderful time. There was an issue with the washer, and so we couldn't use it, but given Angela's friendliness and excellent communication, I really do trust that it will be fixed for the next folks. Also, just a note - one of the downstairs bedrooms has a bathroom attached. The other bedroom either needs to share that bathroom or go upstairs. This is not a criticism and was no issue for us, we simply left the door open and shared the bathroom (just good to note depending on your specific circumstances). So yes, I highly, highly recommend this air bnb and would absolutely return. Have fun, fellow travelers!
