Sit back on the wrap-around porch, surrounded by the woods, the sound of birds, and the babble of a nearby brook. From the spacious great room with floor-to-ceiling windows to the fully stocked kitchen and luxurious beds, relaxation and memories will be easy. Minutes from Whisper Lake and high atop the area mountains, you'll find yourself secluded in the Nantahala National Forest, but just 10-15 minutes from beautiful Cashiers. Access to both Whisper Lake and Sapphire amenities Access to both Sapphire National and Red Bird golf courses Hike through nearby trails or enjoy Lake Glenville. Enjoy a wood fire and listen to music on our extra-deep couch or watch either DirecTV on the 54″ flat screen mounted over the fireplace. All three bedrooms feature queen size beds with their own flat screen televisions, “Pottery Barn-meets-rustic-antique” style, and plush bedding. The master bathroom features both a shower and a jet-bathtub and his-and-hers vanities. Another full bathroom is upstairs and a powder room is downstairs. Listen to your favorite music throughout the house on our Sonos sound system. You're also welcome to use our AppleTV and Netflix accounts. Six to eight people can dine in the dining room and another two at the island in the kitchen. The kitchen features a gas stove and is stocked with all the spices, dishes, pots, pans, and other cooking utensils that we've been able to imagine that you'll need. We've also stocked the cabin with games for both young and old. Our guests can enjoy both Whisper Lake and Sapphire Valley Master Association amenities (some with a small fee), including access to Red Bird and Sapphire National golf courses, private lake access, canoe rental, fitness center, hot tub, pool, arcade, kayaking, zip line, tennis, miniature golf, and more. The wraparound deck provides stunning views for 270° with plentiful seating for the entire crew as well as a pathway down to a private creek. But the beauty of the Nantahala isn't confined to just our corner of the forest – so we've taken the time to outline our favorite hikes and waterfalls. We also provide our guests with our own reviews and recommendations for local restaurants, area houses of worship, nearby shopping, and services.

The house was well stocked with appliances, pots and pans, etc We had visitors who are birders and they loved the sounds and the location of the house near the top of the trees. Because of the wood construction you will hear the footsteps and sounds of anyone staying in the 2 bedrooms on the upper floor. Had a brief problem getting into the house because the cleaning service had locked the doorknob but we were instructed on an alternate method to get in ##### Sheri K.

Overall well equipped and comfortable and you could rent it for more if you fixed up the outside I bet! ##### Carol K.

We live on the west coast of Florida and the cooler temperature in the NC mountains was just we wanted for a mini-vacation. The house/cabin is beautiful inside. We loved the layout with the master on the first level and the kitchen, dining and great rooms all open to each other. The wood walls and ceilings and the soaring stone fireplace gave the home a really cozy feel. I really loved the wrap around deck and the comfortable seating area that faced the back woods. It was stunningly peaceful to sit out there with a morning cup of coffee and just listen to the silence. Actually, I sat on the back deck at every opportunity and spent some afternoon time reading and napping there! It was great to have a gas grill available for making meals. The kitchen was well stocked with all the needed kitchen items such as pots, pans, dishes, service ware, coffee maker (not Keurig type), etc. All the bedrooms were nice sized and the master en suite bath was perfect with a really nice step in shower, 2 vanity sink areas and a large tub. We didn't use the two upstairs bedrooms as there were only 2 of us but they were very nicely decorated and roomy as was the rest of the house. Whispering Pines is in a cul-de-sac of a neighborhood that is very peaceful and quiet and surrounded by the sights and sounds of nature. I would recommend this property if you are looking to stay in this area on western NC. ##### Debbie A.

Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2023 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Jessica D. 19 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication House was nice and clean, but keep in mind. This is really not an ideal place for those wanting any kind of Mountain View, natural sunlight, or easy access to any yard area for pets. there is no yard space for any pets you must utilize the driveway. we did ask the yonder team for amenities map for the neighborhood but they state they don’t have one available so not sure how you would get to wherever this pool is. And there was nothing about the community amenities in the welcome book.If you want a very cozy, candlelight lighting , romantic quiet house this would be the place for you. The kitchen is well stocked with equipment. The showers were nice. I can’t tell you how the back steps going down to the river are it looked slick and dangerous ##### Jessica D. Stayed 8 nights in Oct 2025 Verified ### 2/10 Terrible #### The G. 24 Feb 2025 Liked: Communication Disliked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy #### Filthy It was difficult finding the property. The 3 3 miles of gravel road only big enough to fit one car, but allows both sides to come, is extremely daunting in rain. The house was filthy. Two inch thick black mold in the bathrooms, floors were not even vacuumed or swept, all the dishes were dirty, the bath had dirt coming out of the jets and the heater barely worked. The only blanket they give each bed is a very large comforter, that smelled like dirty unbathed men... we froze the first night. 21 degree weather and we are from Florida. Me and THREE CHILDREN froze. Although they did bring me comforters the next day, and somehow the heater worked after they left, I was still disappointed. They pride themselves on cleanliness, but based on my pictures and video- is very misleading. Do better! I don't get to vacation much. You ruined it. All they offered was 120 refund because i didn't want cleaners there while i was on vacation. I didn't take it because they wanted me to sign a contract. This place is disgusting. ##### The G.

Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2022 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Robert M. 12 Sept 2022 Liked: Location Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication #### Whispering Pines The outside of the cabin was a mess, 20-30 cigarette butts on the ground by the trash can, trash on the ground, grass & landscaping was over grown, deck was rotting, wasps in the home, cant turn the AC below 70, beds were small, upstairs bed was sagging in the middle, glass windows were dirty, and you cant check in til 4, if you want to check in early they want another fee$$$. The VRBO service was horrible to deal with, very insulting. They threatened to charge me a cancellation fee if I changed my mind, even though I hadn't signed the actual contract yet. And lots of extra fees they sneak in after you book. Not happy at all. Would not go back ever. ##### Robert M.
