Testimonials
We enjoyed our stay... the cottage was great! We loved the unique touch you put into the home. It really made you feel at home and comfortable and relaxed. You had everything a person could need. It was one of the coolest places we have ever stayed. Everything was very clean. We went panning for emeralds at Emerald Village. I am going to have a ring made. The whole trip was wonderful and we would love to stay at your cottage again. Thank you so much for opening your home to us.

My family greatly enjoyed the peace the cabin afforded. My wife and daughter simply loved the interior of the cabin - you have done a fine job. It is fun and quirky, but still very functional. I would recommend your cabin to anyone staying in the area. I greatly enjoyed the Spruce Pine-Bakersville area, which I had never visited before. We would certainly like to stay at your place again.

We had a great time at the Whispering Creek Cottage. We celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary there and enjoyed our four days in the Blue Ridge Mountains. It was so peaceful and serene and the weather was great, too! How fortunate we were to have found the cottage on the internet and that there was a vacancy during the time we wanted to stay. Thank you for sharing your cottage with us. It was memorable.

This is one of the cutest Cottages I have ever seen. Lazy days are what this place is all about! We enjoyed listening to the running creek as we rocked on the front porch or swinging in the hammock watching the humming birds go back and forth from the lush green oak tree to the whimsical feeders. On the weekend the various styles of motorcycles traveling the winding mountain road was very entertaining. This cottage is not for the five star hotel comfort lovers but if you want to step back in time to a place where life is not about to run you over and you can relax enough to hear the voice of God in your spirit this is the place for you. The cool mountain breezes are awaiting and God's wonderful and not so wonderful ;-) creation is all around! (Everything has it's purpose and sometimes the purpose is to scare me!)
Remember it is a 1915 mountain home! When I walked in I was immediately taken back to my grandparents home in the foothills of NC which has long been gone from the family. Come and sit a spell or ride up to Little Switzerland and get on the parkway for breathe taking vistas (beautiful panoramic views) and find out why they call them the Great Smokey Mountains! I look forward to returning in the early spring or late fall!

We had a wonderful and relaxing time. The kids asked the whole time if we could come back. We will be returning.

Our stay at the cottage was wonderful. My husband wanted to know if we could get a little money back from use of the cabin because we stayed on the porch most of the time!!! I loved the porch. It is like another room & you have it fixed up so cute. Our granddaughter loved the hammock & became an expert at entering & exiting & staying on… She had a great time. We saw wild turkeys there on the property which excited her. Every time I looked out of the kitchen window, I expected to see a deer up on that ridge out back, but never did. I am sure he was there watching me!!

Your North Carolina cabin was a fantastic place to relax and vacation! Such a beautiful interior, marvelous front porch and great fire pit. We grilled dinner several nights, roasted marshmallows, lounged in the hammock, and even fished in the creek. The kids called this cabin 'the best yet!'
Thank you so much for the hospitality, I believe we would like to return sometime in the future.

What can I say about my stay at Whispering Creek Cottage? Well, first and foremost, it was way too short of a stay, second I wish I lived closer, as this is somewhere I should be going at least three to four weekends a year at a minimum. The day I arrived, it was raining very lightly. I unloaded the car, and sat down in the hammock to listen to the rain tapping on the roof and clicking on the leaves of the trees. I quickly fell asleep in the hammock.
The house is decorated so comfortably, that I felt right at home. I really enjoyed that I could cook if I wanted to, or simply just bring home take-out from the days sight-seeing. The creek on the side of the house made sleeping a pure joy. On the day I had to leave, I didn't want to go. I felt so at home, so rested, and so peaceful, and leaving meant going into traffic, and back to daily life.
Brenda and Steve, I'd like to thank you so much for sharing your wonderful cottage with me. It has given me a well needed rest away from life's daily stresses and yet awakened artistic side of me. I look forward to returning there again, hopefully very soon.

My husband and I needed a quick and close get-away from our home to relax and be restored from our busy lives. Whispering Cottage offered just what we needed... quiet and peaceful rest! We LOVED the decor and wonderful front porch. Each morning we woke to the singing of the creek just outside our bedroom window. We WILL return!

Whispering Creek Cottage is a piece of heaven in the Appalachian mountains. We enjoyed fishing in
the creek for crayfish and then eating our rewards for lunch. At night we sat by the campfire toasting marshmallows. The cottage is equipped with all mod cons and plenty of games and reading material
for everyone. It's a family friendly place with plenty to do at and around the cottage. Forget about cell phones and the TV, there's no time for either just plenty of time for family fun. Make sure you read the local guide set out by the owners, we especially loved the horse riding which we would have never found by ourselves.

I want to let you know how much I enjoyed my stay at your cottage in Little Switzerland, NC. I do not know when the cottage was built but it was most charming and comfortable. The location near the Blue Ridge Parkway was perfect and we were within an hour of many attractions such as the Biltmore Estate in Asheville and Grand Father Mountain in Linville. Your cottage was a delight for relaxing and sightseeing. I look forward to coming back again.

Thank you so much for sharing your cozy cottage with our family. It was such a comfort to have this beautiful home to come back to after a full day of exploring North Carolina. The kids loved spending
the mornings looking for salamanders and crawfish in the creek and picking wild raspberries to top their cereal for breakfast. I loved the large front porch, sitting there watching the birds with the sound of the creek in the background was instant therapy! I think my husband loved all the things we discovered in and around Little Switzerland. We hiked, found local galleries to explore, and met the nicest people in the neighboring towns. I fell in love with the cottage, it became home for us that week. It was the best vacation we have ever had!
