Whispering Pines is located in the beautiful Timberwinds Resort with winding, wooded, but concrete roads. Access to the cabin is safe and friendly for motorcyclists and all other vehicles. There are no steep roads to get to Whispering Pines. With parking for two vehicles, the cabin can accommodate up to 4 guests.
Once you arrive at the cabin, you will find a rather large deck on the backside of the cabin overlooking a hollow with lots of wild flowers, and sometimes even a bear will visit. The deck provides an outdoor dining space as well as a screened-in covered porch for the large hot tub. The BBQ grill is there for your use as well.
The open concept floor plan includes a fully equipped kitchen complete with stainless steel appliances and all of the pots & pans that you might need. The living room has a comfy sofa & recliner for watching movies on the flat-screen TV and a gas fireplace. The downstairs master has a huge 4-poster log king-sized bed, a dresser, and an ensuite full bathroom. Please note that the master bedroom is open to the living area.
Upstairs, the loft area is a perfect retreat for teenagers and pre-teens, featuring a full-size bed, a twin-size bed, bean bag chairs, mood lighting, board games, a retro game system, and a PlayStation. There is also a second full bathroom with a walk-in shower located on the first floor. (Please be aware that the stairs to the loft are quite narrow.
We do not accept pets in any of the cabins without specific written approval from management. Only those dogs that have specific and formal training as a SERVICE dog will be allowed in our cabins. Emotional support animals are not accepted.

Common Concerns:
*Road Conditions: Some of our cabins are on steep, narrow, curvy, mountain roads. If you are concerned about road conditions to get to a cabin, please feel free to ask us! None of our cabins requires a 4-wheel drive under normal weather conditions, but some do in inclement weather.
*TV & WiFi: We do have TVs and WiFi in most of our cabins. There are times when heavy cloud cover, weather systems, mountains, or trees will cause problems with the signals. We always want our guests to have the comforts they want on vacation, but there are times we cannot control this problem.
*Pests & Wildlife: Here in the Smoky Mountains, we have lots of native bugs and wildlife. All of our cabins are treated for pests, but there are times you will find bugs or even have trouble with bugs. Fall/Winter is ladybug season in the Smokies, and these little buggers are attracted to heat, meaning your cabin and every other one out there that is warm! They will swarm to the cabin, and you'll probably see them alive/dead on windowsills, in vents, etc. Rest assured that your cabin has regular pest control and is professionally cleaned, including bug removal, before and after your stay. However, these bugs come back right away, and unfortunately, there is nothing that can be done about them until the season passes. Please never feed, taunt, or approach any wildlife. This is their home, and we are the visitors.
*There are no refunds for storms or power outages. If there is a power outage, there will be no water and potentially no heat. Storms can also make roads impassable, so if a storm is in the forecast during your reservation, come prepared with water and non-perishable food, etc.
FEES: The management company of this cabin charges a $20 per stay Damage Waiver Fee to every customer. It is automatically included in your rate. This covers our guests for up to $350 worth of accidental damage should damage occur during their stay. If damage occurs to the cabin, furnishings, etc, please report it to management as soon as possible so that the damage can be repaired. You may opt out of paying the $20 damage waiver fee by putting down a $350 REFUNDABLE damage deposit.
