Whispering Pines | A Peaceful Sanctuary in the Whispering Lake Community

Tucked away in the quiet and upscale Sapphire community, Whispering Pines is the ideal sanctuary for a mountain vacation. Sit back on the wrap-around porch, surrounded by the woods, the sound of birds, and the babble of a nearby brook. From the spacious great room with floor-to-ceiling windows to the fully stocked kitchen and luxurious beds, relaxation and memories will be easy. Minutes from Whisper Lake and high atop the area mountains, you'll find yourself secluded in the Nantahala National Forest, but just 10-15 minutes from beautiful Cashiers.
Access to both Whisper Lake and Sapphire amenities Access to both Sapphire National and Red Bird golf courses Hike through nearby trails or enjoy Lake Glenville.

Enjoy a wood fire and listen to music on our extra-deep couch or watch either DirecTV on the 54″ flat screen mounted over the fireplace. All three bedrooms feature queen size beds with their own flat screen televisions, “Pottery Barn-meets-rustic-antique” style, and plush bedding. The master bathroom features both a shower and a jet-bathtub and his-and-hers vanities. Another full bathroom is upstairs and a powder room is downstairs. Listen to your favorite music throughout the house on our Sonos sound system. You're also welcome to use our AppleTV and Netflix accounts. Six to eight people can dine in the dining room and another two at the island in the kitchen. The kitchen features a gas stove and is stocked with all the spices, dishes, pots, pans, and other cooking utensils that we've been able to imagine that you'll need. We've also stocked the cabin with games for both young and old.

Our guests can enjoy both Whisper Lake and Sapphire Valley Master Association amenities (some with a small fee), including access to Red Bird and Sapphire National golf courses, private lake access, canoe rental, fitness center, hot tub, pool, arcade, kayaking, zip line, tennis, miniature golf, and more.

The wraparound deck provides stunning views for 270° with plentiful seating for the entire crew as well as a pathway down to a private creek. But the beauty of the Nantahala isn't confined to just our corner of the forest – so we've taken the time to outline our favorite hikes and waterfalls. We also provide our guests with our own reviews and recommendations for local restaurants, area houses of worship, nearby shopping, and services.
