Girls Retreat
5/5 Girls getaway to this adorable cabin was exactly what we needed - to unplug, catch up with each other, laugh and make some wonderful memories. The beds were super comfy, the outdoor fireplace would be super fun in the spring (we had rain and snow), the house has a great assortment of coffee and fun games to play when we couldn't get out to hike. Eric, the owner really pulls out the stops when it comes to customer service. We look forward to staying again in the milder weather.

Lovely time at the Walnut Hill
5/5 We really enjoyed our stay at the Walnut Hill ! The cottage was wonderful , nicely decorated, and the surroundings were beautiful ! We saw wildlife and we were in close proximity to beautiful hikes ! The kitchen was well equipped and the place was clean. The beds were very comfortable! Can’t wait to go back :)

Shared from the owner: "Thank you, Anca, we’re so thrilled that you enjoyed your stay and excited to see you visit again! Thank you for the kind words, we also believe Walnut Hill is special. You were so kind to our neighbor across the road, he loved meeting and talking with all of you. Thank you again and see you soon!"

5/5 A wonderful experience! The cottage is clean with comfy beds and a stocked kitchen…also beautifully decorated and so cozy. Six of us fit comfortably in four bedrooms, loved the separate family and living spaces. Great communication with the host, Eric. Thank you for the bottle of wine! Whispering Pines is quiet. Close to so many things- we hiked (Water Wheel Falls), ate (THAT Brewery in Pine was a great recommendation), and visited the rim (lakes and fishing). Elk roam around. The bonfire pit area at night is magical, be sure to turn on the lights. Oh and the front porch rocking chairs! Definitely returning and highly recommend!

From the Owner: "Kaira, thank you for the kind review! We're so happy that you enjoyed your stay at Walnut Hill. Such an amazing area with so many activities, restaurants, hiking, and all the elk. We think it's special and happy to hear that others feel the same.
The bonfire pit is a new installation; glad you were able to enjoy it.
Thank you again for being an amazing guest, and please come back anytime!"
