We had a fantastic time staying at the Whispering Pines! The house was spotless and had everything we could need. I was especially impressed with how well appointed the kitchen was. It was a great location - secluded but just a quick few minute drive into the heart of town.

Awesome family experience

This house was an awesome place to take our family vacation. Lots of room inside the house for everyone to do their own thing. The fire ring area was where we spent many hours together. We had a great time!

The house was immaculate; fully appointed kitchen; comfortable furniture. We appreciated your attention to details - mosquito repellent, extra blankets & pillows, a stack of firewood, brooms & sweeper and so much more - absolutely everything you would expect to find in a home!

Book Club Getaway

Our group was coming from Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, we were so excited to find Whispering Pines almost directly in the middle. The house was exactly like the pictures, and fully stocked with everything you could possibly need or want. The weather for our stay wasn't the best, but watching the rain storms come in through the sun room windows was just as good as exploring the town of Bedford. We had the best girls weekend, and will absolutely stay at Whispering Pines again.

Great place.

Very clean and the owners are very organized. We enjoyed every minute of our stay. Small children will love the one bedroom we thought it was great. The location is perfect, away from town but only minutes to get there. We recommend it to anyone.

Wonderful!

We really enjoyed our stay! Such a cute house in beautiful Bedford county! We attended the fall foliage festival, as we have been for years, and decided to give this house a try. It was stocked with everything we needed, it was very clean and maintained, and we absolutely loved relaxing in the hot tub and having a fire at night. Would definitely stay again!

The property is clean and comfortable. The furniture is comfortable, and the kitchen is well equipped. Our only concern was the stairway to the second floor, which was difficult to manage going into and out of the children's bedroom.

What a fantastic place!

This was hands down the best vacation rental I have ever stayed at. The house was beautiful, had plenty of space, and so many amenities--the hosts went above and beyond to make sure your stay was wonderful. Little touches, like providing toothbrushes if you forgot them, doggy poop bags, etc. etc. The outdoor space is so wonderful with the fire pit and hot tub. Would definitely stay again!

Perfect Rental in the Bedford Area

I stayed at the Whispering Pines Retreat with a co-worker while doing some work in the Bedford area for the weekend. It was a perfect place to retreat after long nights of working and one of the few places in Bedford with a hot tub! The house was beautiful inside and out, meticulously maintained. We could not have had a better experience and would definitely stay here again.

Golf tournament get away

Without any hesitation, this is by far among the best properties I have rented. The owners have created a haven in the rural mountains of central PA to enjoy family and friends. There is literally something for everyone provided: reading nooks, indoor and outdoor games, tv's galore, hot tub, fire pit, and an awesome coffee bar! The owners have spared no expense in the linens and towels and the beds are comfortable. My golf buddies and I can't wait to rebook for next year's tournament!

Four friends celebrating a 50th birthday...This property is amazing! It is beautifully decorated and has everything you would need for a perfect stay. One of the nicest touches was nice, simple white robes for time out at the immaculate hot tub and fire pit. Wood was provided as well! We would recommend this property! A 12 on a scale of 1-10!

Lovely and comfortable home for family fun and memory making. The hosts thought of everything guests would need. The kitchen is wonderful. We also enjoyed the campfire ring and could see so many stars in the clear night skies! Beautiful countryside surroundings but also close to the town of Bedford with many quaint shops. We enjoyed touring Old Bedford Village, too.
