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.

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!

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!

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.

Perfect for our weekend. Nicely accommodated and close to town. Appliances were top of the line. Loved the firepit. Hopefully the fireplace will be operational should we book again.

About the host

Hosted by Deseree Textor

Host profile image
We are best friends who met over 10 years ago down in South Florida. We both love traveling with our families and have traveled together many times but with 9 kids between us, we have always used Airbnb to find homes that accommodate us all and have everything we need to make the stay comfortable for everyone in our group. This is where we got the idea to open an Airbnb together. When Kelly and her husband moved to Bedford, Pa. my family came out to visit right away and fell in love with the area. We still reside in South Florida so we absolutely love coming back and enjoying the peaceful pace Bedford offers but really like being so close to so many different amazing places to visit. Our families have put a lot of thought and love into making Whispering Pines Retreat a place that we hope everyone that comes will enjoy as much as we do. We are both available to answer your questions and Kelly, along with her husband, are just a few minutes down the road if you need anything during your stay with us. We look forward to hosting you soon!
