About this property

Whispering Pines Retreat

Escape to your own private mountain retreat, tucked among towering pine trees with direct access to National Forest right from the property. This charming cabin offers the perfect blend of cozy comfort and outdoor adventure. Just 2 minutes away, you’ll find a beautiful golf course—perfect for an early tee time or a relaxing afternoon on the greens.

Enjoy your morning on one of the three spacious decks—front and back decks are covered for year-round relaxation, while the side deck is ideal for entertaining under the open sky.

Inside, the walk-out basement serves as a relaxing retreat of its own, featuring a wet bar, a spacious primary bedroom, and a spa-like bathroom complete with a jetted tub and separate shower. You’ll also find a second bathroom, a comfortable family room, and a convenient laundry area on this level.

Upstairs, a unique spiral staircase leads you to the main living space, where vaulted ceilings and large windows bring in natural light and peaceful forest views. The open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area create a welcoming space for gathering. Two additional guest bedrooms and another full bathroom complete the upper level.

Whether you’re here to golf, explore miles of nearby forest trails, or simply unwind in a quiet mountain setting, this cabin is the perfect home base for your getaway.

Other things to note:
This home does not have AC, most homes in Star Valley do not have air conditioning. We encourage our guests to open the windows at night to enjoy the cool evening temperatures and close those windows during the day (including curtains/blinds) to keep cooler air inside the cabin. For your safety, please only open windows when you are present in the home.

Please use caution when using the spiral staircase. The stairs are steep and narrow. Always use the handrail, take your time, and use extra care when carrying luggage or traveling with children.

The place is very beautiful with fresh mountain air for walking in the early morning and evening.It was very clean and orderly. The circular stairs are a bit slippery and narrow. Overall the stay was great and very peaceful.

Definitely unusual temperatures in this area, but very hot for sleeping… AC would’ve been nice to cool down from a hot day at work.

Thanks for the feedback. We are trying to adapt to the warmer temperature and it caught us off guard. We are trying to get an A/C unit in there.

Cute, comfy cabin surrounded by trees. Super well stocked in the kitchen. Very clean with exception of downstairs bathroom garbage had not been emptied. No shower upstairs for 2 bedrooms. 2 bathrooms with showers downstairs for one bedroom made it a little inconvenient for showers. We saw a mouse in the kitchen, but no signs of mice droppings. It’s in the forest, so not really surprising to have a mouse get in. Great communication with host. Overall, very comfortable and nice!

We loved the cabin and it worked well for the whole family!! The cabin does have some stairs that aren’t safe for everyone to use, but the house has access in many different places so there is a work around for everyone.
