This is a beautiful home and was perfect for our friends reunion! Beds were comfy (even the trundle beds) and the kitchen was well stocked. Hot tub was spotless and a huge bonus. Chelsea was very responsive. I highly recommend this property!!!
Stayed here 3 times and its still the best place on VRBO in Southwest Michigan. The host has thought of everything and the home is spotless! Looking forward to staying again!
Fantastic property and great location into town! The details of the house really stood out, lots of thought went into the property. Chelsea and Arturas were great to work with and we all enjoyed our stay and the great backyard! Would love to stay again!

I recently stayed at this house for my "Camp Bach" themed bachelorette party and the house was amazing. It was beautifully decorated, clean, and had everything we needed for our stay. Plus they were super helpful in communicating with us with whatever we needed. I would highly recommend staying here and would love to stay again.

This house was incredible! We absolutely loved staying here for my bachelorette weekend. The house was spacious, well kept, updated and so beautiful. It was perfect for 14 people girls! The backyards amenities (pool, hot tub, fire pit, yard & deck) were incredible. I already miss being there! We will for sure be back again. Chelsea was an amazing host!
Property was very well designed and expertly constructed using high-end materials. Furnishings were well thought out and many unique to the character of the home. All the extra supplies we needed were available on-hand. Lots of extra towels for bath and pool - double washer/dryer was a plus. All-in-all a very fun and relaxing family gathering..!

This house is amazing and spacious! It was perfect for our annual family vacation - so much to do at home with the pool, hot tub, games. Good location to walk to town or go for a bike ride. Kitchen was well stocked and made for a great place to cook and gather. Loved all the thoughtful details and supplies in the house. Such a gem!

Our annual family trip was fantastic - 11 people and we all had plenty of space. Each bedroom having its own bathroom was perfect. Loved the openness of the kitchen/dining/living space. The kitchen was very well stocked - we grilled and had everything we needed. The back of the house and the pool area is very generous and we spent a lot of time there. Close to shopping, restaurants and the marina was close- Would definitely recommend and would stay again. Chelsea was very easy to communicate with.

This is an absolutely stunning property, home, and the owners are wonderful. Provided details and help in a timely manner, the home is stocked with many amenities some other places may not provide, and she was responsive with questions. The space a beautiful and fun for families of all ages or an adult trip. Very close to downtown new Buffalo while still providing privacy. The only critique is very small, the bedrooms listed with twin beds were actually trundle beds which we were ok with, but we thought in the listing it sounded like there was an actual twin bed. We would recommend this home to anyone!!

We appreciate this kind review and we are thrilled to hear your party enjoyed their time at Whispering Oaks.
Thank you for clarifying those two queen rooms with trundle beds. VRBO has a drop down menu with no option to specify trundle but we list it as a trundle in the detailed description where we have free rein. Not everyone reads that part but they DO read reviews so, thank you!
Kindest regards,
Chelsea and Arturas
