Whispering Pines Bed and Breakfast

We stayed on 5/4/12. Very beautiful residence, warm and friendly hostess, delicious breakfast. We had a relaxing (though quick!) stay and enjoyed the hot tub and breakfast enormously. We stayed in the Rose Room and the bed was very comfortable and the room was spotless. Jeanna has absolutely thought of everything, from warm cookies in the parlor, bottles of water in the room, hooks for your robe and towel on the deck next to the hot tub, and even a birdwatching book and binoculars on the porch!! It was a wonderful place and we can't wait for next time -- we will definitely stay again! -- Aaron and Jennifer Wagner

My wife and I stayed at Whispering Pines and it was one of the best experiences we've both had at any place we've ever stayed. Jeanna was a very personable and caring hostess. We would definitely stay there again!

My son lives in Omaha and I am from a country setting in western PA. This was the closest home away from home place that I have been to when visiting out West. My son and his wife found this B&B while living in downtown Omaha. After hesitation my husband reluctantly stayed for the first time then wanted to go a second time. Jeanna makes you feel at home and is an excellent chef. If you have never had a chance to sit on a back porch and just listen and watch and have conversation , you are missing a wonderful experience.

For our anniversary, we returned to WP BnB. Our first stay was on our wedding night and the second time was during the end of our honeymoon on our return home. Every time service has been exceedingly good with an awesome, accomodating host. I recommend it to anyone who love old-fashioned houses with original woodwork, the quiet of the small city, a winery nearby, and wine in a hottub looking at the stars to end the evening. Breakfast is always delicious.

Whispering Pines is both gracious, restful, and very homely. Jeanna is the perfect hostess: relaxed but hyper competent, a great cook, and always ready to point out all the local places of interest. On weeknights she features local and touring musicians in an informal house concert setting. I would go a very long way out of my route to stay at Whispering Pines again. RUPERT, NEW YORK CITY

My hubby and I spent two nights in the downstairs Arbor Room. The room was very nice and comfortable. It had a king size bed along with a day bed for additional guests if necessary. My husband is finishing up his college degree so he had his laptop computer with him. The room had a nice size desk in it so he could work on his homework during our stay. There was also a very nice flat screen TV and a cozy electric fireplace in the room. The fireplace can run with or without heat which is very nice so it can be used year round. The grounds were beautiful since everything has been blooming ahead of schedule this year. The lilacs were stunning and smelled incredible! An addition was added on to the B & B 's deck some months back so we got to sit out and enjoy the stars in the beautiful weather. It was nice getting to relax in the hot tub too. We ordered dinner from Parker's Smokehouse one night and El Portal Mexican Restaurant the other night. These are two of our favorite restaurants in town. We just couldn't pass up eating our meals at the B & B since the weather was so nice. Whispering Pines is a very nice and relaxing place and Jeanna is an amazing hostess. Her breakfasts were delicious as usual! We will definitely be back again sometime soon.

Whispering Pines B&B is absolutely wonderful. Rooms are clean and kept up well. It is cozy and quiet location. Jenna is a wonderful cook and serves excellent breakfast. Jenna is also very helpful in helping my husband to have flowers and candies awaiting for our arival. We can't wait to go again soon.

We had an absolutely wonderful time during our stay at Whispering Pines! It was exactly the environment we were looking for for our anniversary weekend. Quiet, cozy, comfortable, and close to enough to 'things to do' to keep us busy for a couple days. Wish we could have stayed one more night. Jeanna is a wonderful cook and we so enjoyed our breakfasts!! We were lucky enough to have other warm and welcome guests to share our mornings with just talking. It was really nice. We sat out on the covered porch one morning before we ate just enjoying the view of the backyard. Our room was comfortable and relaxing (Rose). We perused through the Victorian magazines and it was a great environment to enjoy each others company. As being a bed and breakfast the upstairs rooms are across the hall and there was adequate privacy for us, but we were looking for R&R not romance that particular weekend, so something to keep in mind. We did not partake in the hot tub but wish we had more time to sit and relax some more. The bath robes made it easy to go downstairs and grab coffee in the morning without getting dressed. Guests came and went as they wished. It was a very comfortable environment. We have decided to make visiting Whispering Pines each year for our anniversary a tradition and I look forward to next year already. Thanks for a wonderful weekend Jeanna!! Mr. & Mrs. T Lincoln, NE

Whispering Pines provided the perfect anniversary getaway. Beautiful rooms, wonderful breakfasts, and a hostess who not only provided a gracious welcome, but was more than happy to play concierge and help us decide what local attractions we wanted to take in and to make reservations where needed. We can't wait to go again. (One hint - most of the local attractions are not open until late April early May...still found lots to do, but may want to take this into consideration when planning a trip.)

We were received a night at Whispering Pines for Christmas this year from our daughter. It's only the second B&B we have ever stayed in. When things green up, I'd like to go again and also try out a different room. The inn is comfortable, simple, pretty, clean and restful. Jeanna was very friendly...a real people person and made us feel very welcome even though we came in late. There was a unique and tasty breakfast the next morning with the eggs cooked to your liking and ready when YOU wanted it. Jeanna has a gift for hospitality. She acts as if she loves her job and her life there at Whispering Pines.

We love Whispering Pines, and try to get back there once a year if not two. It is a wonderful place to relax, and Jeanna's breakfast are amazing! We can't wait to go back again so we can check out the new set up for the hot tub out back. Should be a beautiful view!

Intended to get a room at the Lied Lodge for the pre-Valentine's Day weekend but they were fully booked; but that ended up being fortunate for me, because it led me to look elsewhere in Neb City and stumble upon Jeanna's Whispering Pines B&B. She's got well kept unique rooms (we got 'The Arbor') in a big old house and makes a heck of a breakfast. I'm sure the grounds are beautiful too but they were covered in snow, however that didn't stop us from using the hot tub out on the back deck under stars in the crisp February air. We'd recommend it especially if you're looking for a more personal experience than a big hotel.

We have stayed at Whispering Pines 8 or more times over the last two years. Nebraska City is a lovely town south of Omaha, and the Pines is a beautiful country home on the edge of the town. If you like old, rambling farm homes, comfortably decorated, delicious breakfasts (of all types), and a very genial host; then put the Pines on your list. We believe you will not be disappointed.

My wife and I chose the Whispering Pines B&B in Nebraska City for our 5th anniversary. It was so enjoyable we will definitely be returning! Jeanna runs this so well. We found the room and the food to be simple, yet elegant. Kind of like having someone treat you to a 5-star experience without any sense of pretentiousness. She was a perfect hostess, offering full use of her property, which has six acres and is very peaceful, and provided unique details that made it special. When I mentioned we had plans to eat at a local restaurant, she offered to make reservations for us, then did. The room we stayed in was beautiful, with multiple seating areas. It was not only roomy, but the quality of touches, from the bedding to the seating to the bath items and soaps was really special. The house itself has a real cozy feel, with everything you need to feel comfortable. My wife and I especially enjoyed the wrap-around porch as we had amazing weather to sit under the very large overhang, drink a bottle of wine and rock as a soft rain fell outside. It was magical, relaxing, and we really were taken away from the stress of every day life. As I stated earlier, we WILL be back and made sure Jeanne knew it. She is a great cook, and a charming hostess with excellent people skills. We felt comfortable from the start and had a great anniversary. Thank you, Jeanna! Sincerely, Scott & Katy Benedict

The proprietor does a great job of making you feel welcome and at home. Breakfast was delicious and the bed was super comfortable!! Thoroughly enjoyed my anniversary this year and look forward to visiting again!

My husband and I stayed two nights for a little R&R getaway. The Rose room was clean and comfortable and had decent wifi reception. Jeanna's breakfasts were yummy with good coffee. She also gave great suggestions for fun things to do in Nebraska City. We plan to return :)

My husband and I had planned a nice romantic getaway to Jeanna's beautiful B&B, to do a little bit of wine tasting at the local orchard when our water pump went. Jeanna went out of her way to assist us to the part store and back and did everything possible to help the transition towards recovery of the car. Once the car was back in running order, we have the most wonderful time in the hot tub, sitting on the porch, and she is the most wonderful host and cook. Thank you so much Jeanna for everything you did for us. We will be back soon. Dawn and Le Nutzman Lincoln, Ne

My husband and I decided that we needed to get away for a few days to relax. Whispering Pines is a frequent destination for us so we decided to go and spend two nights in the Barn. We had a wonderful time! The Barn is located down the property from the main house. It has a king size bed, sitting area with TV and its own bathroom. There is an additional bed in the Barn but we only needed the one bed since it was just the two of us. It was so nice just being able to relax and unwind for a few days. We had a nice time walking around the property too. The breakfasts were delicious! Jeanna is such a gracious and friendly Innkeeper and Hostess. We will definitely return again in the future. Thanks again. Lea & Craig H., Papillion, NE

Whispering Pines is a fantastic escape. A beautiful setting lets you disconnect from the tech world and get in touch with nature again. The gourmet food draws you back in to enjoy the moment and reconnect with your senses. The rooms and amenities are luxurious and comfortable, providing a nice retreat between sightseeing and exploring. There are fun things to do close by, we traveled with a 3yr old and 3 month old, and managed to make it to the arbor lodge park with the must see whispering bench, the tree adventure and the firefighter museum. Overall great value for money and a lovely retreat.

My husband and I went to this B&B on a whim. We LOVED it. We went back before our first son was born. We are going again to take our son. This place is close to great activites. A quick little getaway spot. The Inn Keeper is an amazing in the kitchen and always tries to provide you with anything you may need. This is a place we hope to go back to for years to come.

My husband stayed here for a birthday weekend get-a-way trip, and had a lovely time staying in Whispering Pines. Breakfast was delicious, and bed was SUPER comfy. There are 4 bedrooms to pick from. Nebraska City has tons of beautiful country side to explore, and definitely lots to do; including a couple vineyards, an apple orchard, a giant mansion to tour, and the Arbor Tree Lodge. Will for sure try and make it back!

This was our second stay at Whispering Pines. It's such a relaxing place to spend the weekend, and the dogs get to come along. This time, we got two nights for the price of one (make sure to sign-up for the e-mail list to keep up on the latest happenings and deals). Jeanna, the innkeeper and owner, is a wonderful host. Her breakfasts are a delectable way to start the day-- and her cookies are a delectable way to sustain the day. If you're going to Nebraska City for the trees, Whispering Pines has two amazing bur oak trees on the property; they could be on a poster. Also, it's an easy walk to the Arbor Lodge State Park, so you don't need to buy a Nebraska State Parks pass for your car if you don't have one! If you stay in The Roost in the Barn, make sure to read the guest book-- it's a riot.

We have stayed at Whispering Pines 3 times now. The first time neither one of us had stayed at a B&B. I can say we will probably never stay in a hotel again. Jeanna is a wonderful hostess. And we think she makes the best breakfast ever. The hot tub is awesome on cool nights. The land is beautiful and Nebraska City is a wonderful small town with a lot of things to do. We have met some really nice people. If you are not sure about a B&B, go and stay a night here and meet Jeanna. You will not be disappointed.

Beautiful place to stay...the pictures don't even do it justice and Jeanna makes you feel so welcome!

Whispering Pines is the perfect place to have a nice romantic getaway. We spent two night during Valentine's Day in the Roost and loved the private atmosphere that it offered with the cozy feel. The hot tub was a wonderful bonus. The breakfast is amazing and the innkeeper is a blessing to her guests. Definitely recommend and we will definitely be back.

We have stayed many times over the years. Always have a great time, yummy food and wonderful hostess everytime. I would recommend this B&B to anyone.

We had an oustanding experience at Whispering Pines. The room was impeccable, with no detail left out. Being able to take a dip in the hot tub and stroll the spacious grounds was also very special. A great weekend getaway for anyone in Eastern Nebraska. We will definitely be going back.

We had a great weekend getaway, highlighted by amazing food and service. Thanks to Jeanna for her accommodations for our every need. She made special meals for my dairy intolerance and followed up with giving us extra help when our gift certificates weren't working. We had a truly wonderful experience.

Wonderful getaway in a quiet Nebraska town. Jeanna showed great hospitality and was willing to meet any request we had. I highly recommend Whispering Pines if you need a weekend away from the kids and the pace of everyday.

Was the best place to stay. Rooms were great and the food was the best. Can't wait to stay there again and to enjoy the different seasons there

We were looking for a quiet, relaxing weekend and received that and more. Looking forward to returning during the fall.

This is an outstanding B&B, we can't wait till things turn green to return!

The rooms are wonderful and cozy. The food is excellent, Jeanna goes above and beyond with every detail!

This is the perfect small-town place to stay and relax while still being within easy reach of Omaha and Lincoln. Rooms and common areas are beautifully decorated and comfortable, and the grounds and gardens are enchanting. Jeanna is a gracious host and a fantastic chef who really makes visitors feel at home. I have stayed here multiple times and loved it every time. Highly recommended!

We love Whispering Pines! Whether for a weekend getaway for two, or a holiday gathering with family, this B&B is a great choice. Jeanna is an excellent cook and a very accomodating hostess. We try to visit once or twice a year, and would go more if we had time!

The house, rooms and breakfast was wonderful. The grounds needed some cleaning up but it was the middle of fall.

OUr stay at Whispering Pines was awesome. Even though majority of the leaves were gone & there was not much activity in the city we loved the seclusion, the friendliness of the hostess, the overall stay! Would recommend to anyone looking for a night away!

We truely enjoyed Jeanna and her great B&B. The breakfasts were superb and we enjoyed the eclectic mix of apparel at breakfast. Can't think of a single reason why would not go back the next time we are in a B&B mood.

We stayed here on 27 Oct, and our previous stay in Nebr City was at a very noisy motel. This stay was very good, and it was quiet(what a nice change). The breakfast was superb. The house is set on 6 acres, and was exhibiting fall beauty. The owner was congenial and caring. This bed+breakfast is a good value.

This was perfect for a quick weekend getaway. We were impressed with the quiet atmosphere and the hospitality of the innkeeper. We have already recommended it to several people.

Good place for a quick get away. Pleasant host who had treats available on arrival. Bring a bottle of wine to share on the porch.

Jeanna is always very accommodating and willing to help in any way possible. We have stayed there many times and will always try to stay at Whispering Pines B&B when ever we are traveling around her place. Could not ask for a better hostess anywhere.

I've stayed here several times on business trips. The breakfasts are some of the best I've ever had. Jeanna has a great personality and is very attentive and proactive in figuring out her clients preferences. She always remembers what breakfast and what room(s) I like best :)

This was our first B&B we have ever stayed at and we loved every minute of it. Jeanna has everything organized from restaurant recommendations to leaving out late night snacks for her guests! :) You can tell she has a true passion for what she does and she makes a mean version of Eggs Benedict!

This is the 2nd time we have stayed with Jeanna, and there is a reason for that. We enjoyed our stay just as much this time, and in fact, we are passing the gift to some friends of ours getting married in November. It is perfect, because the house is in town, yet you still feel like it's a quiet getaway to just relax and enjoy with the size of the property. We absolutely recommend staying with Jeanna. You won't be sorry.

Our B&B experiences have been gifts. We are also R/Vers and cruisers as well as the retired people's group excursions so our B&Bs have to compete. of the B&Bs we've done, you are #1!

What a great place! Jeanna is such a warm and inviting hostess. She made us feel right at home and as if we were old friends. Our breakfast was yummy and so filling that I couldn't finish mine (rare, because I have a pretty hearty appetite). What a cook! We will definetly go back again if we have the opportunity.

Whispering Pines is a relaxing, homey place to enjoy this beautiful area of the state and an interesting city. Jeanna is a gracious hostess and a very good cook. Next time we are in this area we will be going back to Whispering Pines.

Very comfortable...hospitality wonderful...individualized rooms...food devine!

We continue to celebrate our anniversary at Whispering Pines each year. Jeanna is a great hostess and her breakfasts are absolutely scrumptious! It is peaceful and beautiful. We will be back!

We needed a close get away and found Whispering pines to be extremely comfortable,relaxed and friendly.The grounds were clean and the sounds of the waterfall was great.Our inkeeper was very organized and helpful in finding things to do around town.She is also a very good cook and breakfast was outstanding.

We had the most quiet and relaxing time. We also enjoyed the company of the other guests. Innkeeper was great.!!! We will go back.

We stayed in The Roost and it was simply charming... and quiet :) Perfect after many days on the road. We lounged out front reading in the shade and OMG the cookies and lemonade were awesome!! (So awesome in fact it warranted a midnight cookie run :) ) The breakfast the next morning was fantastic, and the stay was perfect for our relaxing "girls trip." Thanks again for the wonderful time!!! Jennifer

our stay there was nice. our hostess was outstanding and the food was excellent. However, we were a little concerned with being put in the basement of the very old home without being informed of that and it was a little damp and there were several bugs. there seemed to be other rooms available but we were not informed of ours being in the basement and would probably have chosen another room if we had known.

This experience encompassed a couple of "firsts" for us. It was our first wedding anniversary and our first bed and breakfast experience. Jeanna was an amazing hostess-she even offered to make dinner reservations for us upon check-in! The inn was cozy and charming. We really enjoyed relaxing on the huge porch listening to the birds and the sounds from the fountain. A dip in the hot tub under the stars topped off the evening. Breakfast was delicious and filling- the pecan french toast was awesome! We would definitely recommend Whispering Pines to anyone looking for a romantic or relaxing getaway.

This is an absolutely wonderful bed and breakfast and Jeanna does a fantastic job. I wanted to plan something very special and Jeanna was instrumental in everything working. The room we stayed in was beautiful and the breakfast was great. This was a valentine's getaway weekend that I can not imagine being better anywhere else.

I wanted to plan a surprise trip for my wife and I'd heard that Nebraska City was a great place for wine tastings in Nebraska. So I looked online and found this whispering pines bed and breakfast and looked at all the details and thought it would be perfect. So I called Jeanna and she answered all my questions and so I booked the room. I was not disappointed! We stayed in the Victoria Suite which was very close to the hot tub. It was a chilly Feb. night but soaking in the hot tub was a great experience with snow all around. The breakfast in the morning was also wonderful! My wife was very surprised and loved it! Thanks Jeanna!

We found the inn by serendipity, wandering into Nebraska City while antique shopping, thought we'd go to Lincoln but Kim at the Antique shop said call Whispering Pines. We ended up not even going anywhere the next day - relaxing, catching up on computer and reading - enjoying the view of snow covered fields from the hot tub. Jeanna is an amazing host and excellent chef - the apple baked pancakes were top notch. Clean and modern where you want it, cozy for all the rest.

We have stayed here twice and have already made our reservation for next year! It's very clean and so relaxing. Jeanna is a great host & cook! The grounds are surrounded by trees, flowers & fountains. Don't miss this one!

Just spent a week-end at Whispering Pines...Enjoyed our stay. Jeanna is a wonderful host, breakfasts were wonderful and the company was great. If you want a quiet out of the way place to stay we recommend "The Roost". Wonderful bed, fun decor and away from the hustle and bustle. Would recommend Whispering Pines to anybody! R and D from Kansas City

Our lovely trip was punctuated by the charming sounds of the tiny spring frogs in the pond. The gardens were incredible - the food was amazing and Jeanna made us feel like family! I highly recommend this B&B if you are in the area and want a romantic get away...

We loved our room with private bath & a shower with real water pressure. Very creative travel theme in our room. Collections from her travels. Homemade cookies on arrival and breakfast was unique and delicious. She was friendly, but not nosy! Gardens and small fish pond are beautiful -- even in early spring!

Our accomodation were cozy on a brisk October weekend. We were a little surprised that it was a basement bedroom, but we enjoyed the cozy atmosphere. Jeanna was so helpful in giving us ideas as to places to eat and new things to see and do in Nebraska City. The hot tub felt great!

The owner was very accomodating and did a lot of little "extras" to assist with our stay in Nebraska City. Food was excellent.

We love staying at Whispering Pines so we had to take my in-laws there when they came to visit us from Texas. We booked both of the downstairs rooms-the Arbor Suite and the Victoria's Suite. My wife's folks chose to stay in the Arbor Suite and my wife and I stayed in the Victoria's Suite. The in-laws were only visiting for a short period of time so all of us stayed at Whispering Pines for 3 nights. We had a wonderful time! It was some of the best quality time that we have gotten to spend with the family in years. Jeanna was so friendly and accomodating. The in-laws enjoyed themselves so much that they can't wait to come back and stay at Whispering Pines again the future. I'm glad that we were able to do something nice for them to celebrate their anniversary in July. This stay was very memorable for all of us. Thanks to Jeanna for everything! Craig H.

We returned to Whispering Pines to celebrate my birthday. We stayed in the Rose Room during this stay. I got to spend a total of 5 nights and my husband got to spend 3 of those nights with me. It was really nice being able to spend some time with my husband and also spend some alone time to myself. Diva Days happened to be going on in Nebraska City during this time. I enjoyed being able to take advantage of the coupons and specials offered by the local merchants for Diva Days. Jeanna did everything possible to make my birthday stay at her place an enjoyable and memorable experience. It is so nice having a place to get away from it all without having to drive a far distance from where we live. I will definitely remember this birthday for many years.

Outstanding

Thank you Jeanna! This was our 1st B&B stay and we loved it!

Stayed at the Roost in the Barn and loved it! Very secluded, quiet and peaceful. Room was very clean and well kept. Jeanna was more than accommodating even with our changing arrival schedules. Breakfast was wonderful and the chocolate chip cookies on arrival were great. Even on a cold winter night of 2 degrees the hot tub was wonderful. Definitely will be returning!

My husband and I enjoyed such a peaceful stay at Whispering Pines. The room was clean, inviting, warm and cozy. Jeanna prepared an amazing breakfast and remains one of our favorite places to "relax and renew."

Everything was great! Very accommodating.

The stay was outstanding.

Charming, well mantained house and grounds.

Only 2 suggestions a candle on the deck at night while were having some wine would have been romantic - was our anniversary. A meat product at breakfast but food was fantastic.

We rested, ate so well, walked, enjoyed the beautiful 6 acres, had a fun drive to spend the day in neighboring historic Brownville, then spent a day in beautiful Nebraska City. Jeanna recommended great local food and fun things to see. Enjoyed the hot tub, too!

Fantastic! Great outdoor environment. Loved the porch for visiting and relaxing.

Quiet and restful with lots of privacy. We had a large group and Jeanna was so fun to work with. Would definitely recommend this to other people and hope to return there.

Absolutely beautiful & peacful! everything for your money and more! Hostess is great and accomadates in an above and beyond fashion. our 2nd stay and it keeps getting better! can't wait until our next stay!

This was our second visit to this b & b. This time we spent one night in The Arbor Suite. The room was very warm and cozy. Our only disappointment was that we could only stay for one night. Jeanna is a wonderful Innkeeper and Hostess. She goes above and beyond to make her guests feel welcome. We love the outdoor hot tub too. We will definitely return again in the future. We highly recommend this b & b when visiting Nebraska City.

Since Jeanna has owned Whispering Pines, it really has been nicely updated. She is very accomodating to the guests and strives to update the rooms so that they're current and trendy. Even though we only stayed one night, I felt as though I had been on a week-long relaxing vacation.

We spent two nights in the Roost in the Barn. The barn was a lot nicer than we were expecting. It was very peaceful and quiet. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and cannot wait to return again in the future. It was winter so we will have to return again during warmer weather. Jeanna is very nice and accomodating. Her breakfasts were absolutely delicious. It was such a pleasure meeting her and getting to know her during our stay. Whispering Pines is definitely one of the hidden gems of Nebraska City. We are so glad to have found such a wonderful place. We highly recommend this place to others. Thanks so much!!

Our stay felt like we were at home, except that someone else cooked us breakfast.

We stay here often and love all the special attention Jeanna provides and the relaxing atmosphere! We will be back, but probably not as often due to a room rate increase since we first discovered this B&B in 2005.

We just loved staying at the Whipering Pines Bed and Breakfast. It was relaxing (even for a rushed trip). The "Barn" was great. Excluded and great for our romantic getaway. The breakfast was just wonderful. And the cheese and basket in the room were a real treat. We took the wine to the hot tub and watched those beautiful Nebraska stars on a cool fall night. We will be back! The Johnsons from Garland, Texas
