"The property was immaculate. Just a beautiful area all around. My group and I enjoyed many of the amenities available. The trails were very serene. The home was very spacious, allowing for plenty of room for all my group. The home had everything we needed. We would definitely return in the future.

Perfect Stay

Vacation Date: March 1, 2026

"Another absolutely perfect stay at Whisper Mountain Lodge in early March. This is our go-to house for our annual friends getaway because it is large enough for all of us, has the perfect common areas for our group, and the beauty of the nature all around the home. We do not leave the house from check in through check out, other than to walk on the nearby trail. The house has everything we could need! My only complaint is that I should remember to pack my own pillow because all the pillows in the house are very soft. Thanks for a great stay! See you next year.

What a perfect home for our annual ladies retreat!

Vacation Date: February 28, 2025

"We absolutely loved this spacious house. From cooking meals in the gorgeous kitchen to lounging in the living room with coffee, every moment felt luxurious. The views from the decks were breathtaking and the trails along the creek offered just enough activity to move our bodies right out the front door. The beds were so comfy, ensuring restful sleep. Our host responded quickly when we reached out with a minor issue and made sure we had everything we needed. 10/10. Can’t wait to book again next year! Cheers!

Wow!

Vacation Date: December 30, 2025

"We spent several days after Christmas here with our children and grands, and it was a spectacular experience. The home had that "wow" experience when you walked in the front door, and each area felt luxurious while still being comfortable. Loved the large dining table as part of the open kitchen/living room area and were so happy to have all of us seated together for meals or games later with lots of laughs. I would say my goal to have everyone be electronics-free was made possible by the exterior areas which were tailor made for outdoor exploration. Being in a secluded location, we did not have to worry about the kids being outside with any traffic. A steep, small mountain creek coming down the hillside right outside our door had wonderful natural pathways and steps that made it the perfect spot for the kids and adults. We enjoyed the hot tub for sore muscles afterward along with the fire pit in the evening with s'mores. The home was well stocked in every area, from the kitchen, to linens, to games and throw blankets. After the kids went to bed, we had a fun time with a couples pool tournament. Truly can't say how wonderful everything was. Yonder communicated several times asking for us to reach out if we needed anything, but there was never any need. We were all set, and the time there was exceptional. I would highly recommend this home and working with Yonder for any other rentals.

Unfortunately the weather kept us inside but the view was still amazing! The house is well maintained and well equipped. Only issue was the water pressure...upstairs bathrooms had less pressure while the basement shower had good pressure. Would stay here again!

Unbelievable sunrise and views!

Vacation Date: May 2, 2025

"My husband and I were looking for a home to accommodate several family members and friends for our daughters wedding weekend. This was a beautiful home equipped with everything we needed for the weekend. The sunrise and views are remarkable. We didn't get to spend as much time in the home as I would have liked due to the wedding venue being about a 30 minute ride away. We will definitely consider renting this home again. This was my first time renting a propoerty with Yonder. They were very attentive to my needs and questions. Great communication from them. I highly recommend this property.

"Our group of 12 had a wonderful time at this property! It was absolutely in a beautiful location, and the home was super clean, with plenty of amenities. We had a question regarding the thermostat when we checked in, and Yonder was quick to respond and help. One thing I would note, is the loft area bedroom has a steep ladder to access the loft. If you have older women, it might not work for you. But kids, I'm sure will love it. We will definitely be back!

Beautiful Home

Vacation Date: October 22, 2023

"We spent a lovely week in this beautiful home. It was tastefully furnished. The home was clean and spotless top to bottom. The beds and furniture were all comfortable and in new condition. The pillows, linens and towels were soft and plentiful. The kitchen was well appointed. The view was spectacular from the deck. The home is located in a quite peaceful gated community. You don’t see or hear the other properties as they are spread out with lots of trees and space separating the homes. We enjoyed walking the trails in the development. We sat in the hot tub and enjoyed the lovely view. We sat around the gas fireplace on the deck every morning and evening. I would stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for place to relax and enjoy time with family and friends.
