★ ★ ★ ★ ★This was one of our all-time favorite AirBnB stays. We loved the coffee bar, the hot tub, and the quiet surroundings. We’re already dreaming of returning when we can enjoy the pond—it was a bit chilly during our stay.

Whispering Pines Retreat is a place to truly unplug — without giving anything up.
Escape to 300 acres of quiet East Texas pine forest, where the only sounds are wind in the trees and wildlife on the pond. With a private 7-acre lake, a hot tub under the stars, and miles of forest trails, everything you need is right here — so you don’t have to leave.
Inside, the remodeled cabin blends rustic charm with antique, character-rich furnishings chosen for warmth, comfort, and a sense of history. Cozy seating, natural textures, and thoughtful details make the space inviting without feeling modern or overly polished.
