Private 300-Acre East Texas Retreat — Hot Tub, Stocked Pond, Total Seclusion

10/10 Excellent
"Whispering Pines is the perfect place to unwind and spend time in nature with the family. If you can, I highly recommend renting the Ranger to explore the property…so much fun! We saw deer, pretty wildflowers, and birds of all kinds. Even coming upon the neighbors cows was a treat. The pond level was lower than we’d hoped for but coming off a drought and hot, Texas summer it’s to be expected. Still caught fish though. David was excellent to work with. He answered every question we had with a quick response time. The cabin was beautifully decorated and the beds super comfy. Highly recommend!"

"We've always had good luck staying at La Quinta's in the past and this was no exception. It was a little bit higher priced than some of the other hotels and motels in the area but I've stayed in some of them in Palestine Texas before and they were pretty nasty so this was a welcome change to have a decent clean place to stay. They did not have a handicapped room available but they offered me a shower chair to use in my tub and it was ridiculous it was twice as wide as the tub it didn't fit in there there was no shower sprayer and to make matters worse the shampoo and conditioner bottles were permanently bolted to the wall in the shower but it was the wall behind me and I was supposed to be sitting in a chair with a back on it needless to say I had to stand in a take a quick shower without the chair and it was quite miserable. See the attached picture. The free breakfast was typical Hotel free breakfast there were reconstituted scrambled eggs and sausage I believe there was biscuits and gravy and things like yogurt Bagels toast Etc. Definitely not Gourmet but it was fine and it was free."
