Whispering Pines B&B

We absolutely LOVED our stay at Whispering Pines. It was the most beautiful b&b we have ever stayed at. The atmoshpere was serene and peaceful and Bill and Linda's hospitality was wonderful. Our room (Jasmine) was clean and spacious, and we loved having a hot tub in our room and a balcony to ourselves. The view was breathtaking from the dining room, and the food was delicous. We looked forward to breakfast every morning. We look forward to returning one day!

I needed a small gettaway and I found Whisperinf Pines. It is all the wonderfull things we need to regroup from our busy lives. I relaxed, thought, listened, prayed, read, shopped but most of all I was at peaces. It was the best purchase I have ever make. I will be going again. Thanks Whispering Pines. Outstanding!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Out of the way but worth the winding road trip to get there. Spectacular lake view. Our room was perfect and quiet, the Lilac Room on the first floor. We went to the tiny Greek restaurant nearby and had wonderful gyros and a great conversation. We will go back when we can enjoy the water activities of Atwood Lake. Due to some dietary restrictions, our breakfast was fairly basic, but the innkeepers were most accomodating. Wish we could enjoy some of the great treats others have described. But we especially enjoyed the snack area with pretzels, popcorn and drinks. We will return.

We had the good fortune to spend some time at Whispering Pines this past weekend. Lucky for us the weather was beautiful and the scenery was gorgeous with all of the fall colors coming out. My only disappointment I must say is the website would have you think the B&B is on the lake when it is actually across the street. Very quiet, peaceful and beautiful grounds to relax.

We spent 5 days in Gettysburg and then finished our vacation week at Whispering Pines B&B in Dellroy, OH. We would recommend this place to anyone wanting to get away for some peace and solitude. The Innkeepers, Bill and Linda, are one of the most hospitable couples we have ever met. The Inn and all of the grounds are meticulously decorated. If you would like suggestions of places to eat or visit, they are more than willing to assist you. They are very friendly and extremely easy to talk to. We've been home for about 4 hours and have already called 3 couples and told them to make plans to visit for a wonderful romantic getaway. We will definitely return!

This was my first time at a B&B. The food was awesome as was the grounds and the room. So peaceful and relaxing - needed another day to see the area more and catch - up on sleep.

Booked a last minute stay last weekend and found the perfect place for a romantic get away. The room was spotless and it had a private balcony overlooking the lake. Breakfast was great and the innkeepers were pleasant and attentive to our needs. This was the perfect spot to get away and relax. We are looking forward to a return visit.

This was our fourth visist to Whispering Pines and, as usual, we were not disappointed. Linda & Bill are warm and welcoming hosts. The breakfasts are to die for! If you enjoy beautiful surroundings inside and out then this is the place for you.

A truly awesome experience! We will definitely return, and plan to stay longer on our next visit to the area just to spend more time at Whispering Pines. The Atwoood Lake Region is certainly beautiful, with much to do and see, but Whispering Pines itself is a must-see destination all its own. Lovely, tranquil, relaxing, beautifully landscaped and furnished,... we enjoyed every moment in this glorious retreat. Linda and Bill are conscientious, offering the right balance of information and availability, while respecting privacy and encouraging us to explore the place on our own. We felt quite pampered in our spacious, lovely, and comfortable room, enjoying all its fine touches, including a premium spa experience in our jacuzzi, topped off with a divine scrumptious, gourmet breakfast in the morning. We are very much looking forward to our next stay at Whispering Pines.

This was our first time staying at a B & B. And definitely won't be our last! We wanted a place to just relax after our wedding and whispering pines was amazing! We will definitely be back!

We've been there a few times and are making Whispering Pines our regular anniversary location. This time, we resisited the urge to go do a lot or see a lot in the area. THe quiet. refective time was awesome. And the view fof the lake from the breakfast table is simply beautiful

Every time we return to Whispering Pines, the owners have added something clever, creative, and beautiful. The gardens are also lovely, and the setting perfect.

We spent the weekend at Whispering Pines, celebrating our 20th anniversary. It was a wonderful weekend and the B&B is a wonderful place, from napping in a lovely hammock to watching the sun set from the swing in the front yard. The room was wonderful, comfortable and well appointed (the bed was a little wobbly but firm) and the tub was great. The location is great, near lots of good places to eat and explore and Atwood lake was great for a warm afternoon swim. Peaceful, friendly, beautiful, just perfect for an anniversary weekend.

This was our first visit to a Bed and Breakfast. What a treat this beautiful inn was. Linda and Bill were awesome. The common rooms were interesting and comfortable. The grounds are immense with the most charming waterfall and brook. Breakfast and the service was awesome. We celebrated our 40th anniversary and could not have chosen a better location. Paul and Linda

We stayed at the Whispering Pines Bed & Breakfast following our weekend wedding. It was relaxing, peaceful, clean, and inviting. It was a wonderful getaway, just what we needed after the stress of planning a wedding. We plan to go back again!

This was my first time going to a bed and breakfast and I love it. I love the personal touches and the special attention. Very peaceful and relaxing. I will be back this was soo much better than a hotel.

We had the opportunity and pleasure to stay at this B&B on February 12, 2011. From the moment we arrived on the property, we both felt a sense of calm and relaxation. We were greeted at the front door by Linda, and immediately felt welcome. We were shown to our room which was much more than we had imagined!! The whirlpool tub in the room and the large spacious room were outstanding, well kept and clean. We were also treated to home made cookies!! Breakfast the next morning was filling and delicious. We had dinner at the Lighthouse which was amazing as well. We are looking forward to another visit in the summer when we can take advantage of the lake!! Truly outstanding innkeepers who take pride in their B&B as it shows in the home, the food and the hospitality!! 5 stars!!

Bill and Linda spend their lives making a spectacular home and then they go one step further and share it with those lucky enough to find them. My husband and I make it a point to go to Whispering Pines every couple months so we can relax and renew. Whispering Pines' atmosphere is a celebration of life. Linda prepares a breakfast that is sure to please. Bill astonishes even the most discerning eye with his building and finishing skills. I have been to many B & B's but Whispering Pines is my all time favorite. Thank you for sharing your very special home!

If you want a relaxing weekend (or longer) away from it all, this is an ideal place to come. There are wonderful views of Atwood Lake, comfortable, cozy bed-rooms and large and inviting public spaces. The breakfast room is delightful with its panoramic lake view. However even better than the site and the accommodations are the hosts Linda and Bill, who are charming, knowledgeable and couldn't be more helpful. All in all, a terrific combination.

We visited Whispering Pines B&B in February for our anniversary. It was the perfect one night getaway for two tired parents! It was so nice to just relax in the incredibly quiet house. I can't wait to see the scenery in the summer! The room was quite comfortable. The bathroom was amazing, from the whirlpool tub to the two person shower. We stayed in the Willow Room, which is a bit more pricey because of the view of the lake, which would probably be much more appreciated in a better season. Linda was very friendly and welcoming. The breakfast and coffee were tasty. We will be returning in the summer when we can fully appreciate everything Whispering Pines has to offer!

Every amenity, every detail of Whispering Pines is well done. Linda and Bill have put a lot of time and energy into running their business and it shows. You will not be disappointed in staying here. It is a wonderful getaway place to relax and cozy up with a loved one.

We were celebrating our 24th wedding anniversary and Whispering Pines B&B was perfect for a quiet, fun, and rejuvenating getaway. The room was warm and inviting. It was very homey. We enjoyed the roomy whirlpool tub and fireplace. The structural craftsmanship of the home is amazing. The antique furnishings add a sentimental mood and elegant yet simple ambiance. The innkeepers/owners were very warm and hospitable. The best part of our trip was eating breakfast in the massive sunroom and looking out over the frozen lake. Our least favorite part was staying only two days. We would definitely return.

First impressions are everything... and ours was wonderful. Linda, Bill were great, sincere, and made us feel very welcome. Great experience!

We had a very enjoyable weekend. The B&B was outstanding, breakfast was delicious, Bill & Linda were so helpful & friendly. Hope to go back next fall.

My husband and I took a two night honeymoon to WP and truly enjoyed the experience! The grounds were beautiful, the rooms were eloquent, breakfast was delicious and Linda and Bill were a delight to talk to. They've definitely put their hearts into creating this jewel! We look forward to our next visit with them!

Our stay at Whispering Pines was chosen from the Select Registry (a gift from our family to celebrate our 50th anniversary). The choice could not have been better. Everything about our stay was perfect . Linda and Bill Horn are the perfect people to host a bed and breakfast. They have updated a grand old farmhouse with a great view of Atwood Lake into a wonderful retreat, decorated throughout with beautiful antiques. The new breakfast room is an outstanding addition, and the breakfast cooked and served by Linda was heavenly! Chatting with our hosts and the other guests added to the enjoyment.

Our weekend at Whispering Pines was delightful. We stayed in the Lily Pond Room and had a spectacular view of the lake. The room was beautifully furnished with wonderful antiques. Linda and Bill were gracious hosts and Linda's breakfasts are delicious. We would definitely go back and will recommend to our family and friends.

Linda & Bill are the most gracious hosts. Their B&B is terrific and it overlooks Atwood Lake. We stayed in the Willow room which had a very private balcony, fireplace and awesome two person whirlpool tub. The breakfasts were delicious and we particularly enjoyed talking with Linda & Bill and their years as inn keepers. Had an great meal at Casablanca, a very small restaurant down the street. You'll have a fabulous time at this B&B.

We will return.

From the moment Bill & I stepped into this place, we felt as though Bill & Linda bent over backwards to make this a truly relaxing and inviting place. From the 24 hour tea service and snacks to all the comfy places to unwind and read a book to the relaxing music in the rooms and to all the add-ons available to the room rates, Bill & Linda went all out. To top it off, Linda has directions to area attractions and restaurants and able to get you in at a discount on some of them. We've told other couples about this place and would not hesitate to go back. . . . . . . P.S. I can tell Linda takes pride in the breakfasts she serves as each came out as a work of art and tasted fabulous (i.e., lemon ricotta pancakes and canadian bacon on one day and Texas-sized french toast garnished with fresh fruit and sausage the next day). Yum!!!

The breakfast was fantastic, just not much of it, thought it would be more food esp. for the price of our room.

My cousin and I (and wives) meet periodically for a weekend. We selected Whispering Pines because it was equal distance for both of us to travel. The owners spent a lot of time with us telling the story of how the B&B evolved, and talking/laughing about various subjects. The place was excellent, work always on going, rooms very nice. Everything was 1st class. Probalby will return.

As a bed and breakfast owner I look at every inch of a place that I stay and this place was as close to perfect as you can get. From the minute we pulled in the drive and saw the beautiful landscape I knew I was in for a treat. The greeting from Linda and Bill made us feel like family coming home for a rest. Every room that I saw so clean and so tastefully decorated. The attention to detail from the mattresses, to the linens, to the bath amenities, to the dishes, to the landscape...it doesn't get any better than this. Sitting on our private balcony and watching the waters of Atwood Lake was just icing on the cake. We were sad to go but Linda sent us away with a full stomach from the fantastic breakfast that she cooked. This is the perfect couple's retreat no matter what the occasion.

Spent the best weekend in years at Whispering Pines B&B. My wife and I just needed to recharge ourselves and we could not have picked a better place. Our hosts were so gracious and by the time we left on Sunday, it seemed like we knew Bill and Linda all our lives. Just very nice people! The food was just great and portions were more than adequate. The accomodations were perfect as we love antiques and this B&B is just loaded with them. This area of Ohio is just beautiful and having Atwood Lake across the street just adds to the charm. We have already booked a weekend in the fall and really look forward to returning to see area in fall colors. Just simply charming and relaxing!

Since we couldn't go to the Keys as planned, Jim surprised me with this B&B. Knowing a trip to warm & sunny would be hard to beat, I liked the ad & went. It was quite a pleasant surprise! The attention to detail and quality was astounding from the massage by a chiroprator's therapist to the antique plates at breakfast. Linda and Bill were the PERFECT host and hostess, intermingling & guiding activites according to our personalities and expectations. Linda gets up early to make the coffee and amazing meals (no boring bacon & eggs here!). I'll definitely go back!

Our stay at Whispering Pines was extrordinary. Bill and Linda were perfect hosts and took care of our every need and want. Our room was so peaceful and relaxing. I couldn't imagine a better experience!

My husband and I were looking for a quiet peacefule place where we could relax and get away from our busy hectic life. Although it was only 30 minutes from our home, we felt like we found a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. We loved EVERYTHING about Whispering Pines! I found the entire experience most outstanding. The one thing that impressed me the most are the owners, Bill and Linda Horn. They are first-class people who run a first-class B&B. This was our first time visiting (in the winter) and can't wait to go back when the weather is warm! We are telling everyone we know to go there!

The ambiance was serene and romantic. The rooms so charming we didn't want to leave them as they provided a warm cozy fireplace to cuddle by on a cold winters day. The view of the frozen lake and soft covering of a fresh white snow made it so perfect. Conversation with other guests, at our discretion, was enchanting, as our InnKeepers introduced us to everyone as if they were long lost friends. Sneaking off to a nearby restaurant was convenient and fulfilling as the recommendations were excellent and the food there great. We retired to a warm hot tub and cozy robe and slippers as we retired for the night reading of the area and all the adventures nearby Whispering Pines. We woke up to no schedule but to the aroma of homemade pumpkin pancakes, maple syrup and a fresh fruit bouquet. Coffee, teas and juices prepared us for an exciting day of site seeing and hiking around our hosts location in Delroy, Ohio. We certainly would recommend staying at this fine establishment to anyone. We will go back any time and every time we can.

My wife and I wanted to spend a weekend away for our 1st anniversary and had heard about Whispering Pines. The stay had exceeded our expectations. The atmosphere was excellent, Bill & Linda were very friendly hosts, and the breakfast was awesome! Overall it was a great stay and looking forward to returning this summer for another. We are highly recommending Whispering Pines to everyone for a fantastic getaway!

What a delightful gem! My husband and I wanted a quiet weekend away. Whispering Pines has comfy, beautiful rooms in a lovely setting. Our hosts were very helpful and attentive to our needs. The fresh breakfasts were fabulous; I don't like pancakes and I could have eaten another plate of Linda's. We will definitely be back.

This place is fantastic. Rooms, hosts, food, hospitality, grounds. So relaxing, great restaurants around, beautiful scenery, and can't wait to return!

Can't imagine a better, friendlier, warmer place. The perfect getaway--and food out of this world! Thanks to Bill and Linda.

As first time visitors to a B&B, we didn't know exactly what to expect. What we encountered at Whispring Pines was hospitality, charm, comfort, and absolute relaxation in a friendly atmosphere. If I could find words to justify the quality of Linda's cooking, I'd use them, but I can't find any. Her cooking is something to be experienced.

This was our first time staying at a Bed and Breakfast and it exceeded our expectations. The rooms were lovely and included much attention to detail and high quality furnishings (the linens were fabulous)! The private balcony was the perfect place for stargazing at night and drinking our morning coffee that had been delivered right to our room! Linda and Bill are delightful people who work hard to ensure the best stay for their guests! We can't wait to return!

We had our wedding here last August on the deck by the waterfall. We said our vows to each other looking out toward the lake. I came out and met my husband to be on the bridge and he escorted me to the deck. It was so romantic. Linda was the perfect wedding coordinator for me on our special day. Breakfast was to die for, and the Honeymoon suite is absolutely gorgeous. For a small intimate wedding It was perfect!! Thank you Linda!!

My husband & I have been at Whispering Pines five times. Each time it just gets better. It is the ultimate place for rest and relaxation for a night, a weekend, or several days. You just can't go wrong at Whispering Pines. The innkeepers, Bill & Linda Horn, do such a wonderful job of making their home feel like you home. We will definitely be back again and again.

We've been going here for at least 15 years, so many times we've lost count! And we will continue to go many, many more times. The innkeepers are delightful, knowledgeable and funny, a real pleasure to be around. Linda's cooking is superlative - she should have her own cooking show! The setting is romantic, pastoral and so quiet, the view of the lake soothing. One goes here to escape the city, to ditch the daily grind, and to utterly relax, but amenities such as wifi and iPod docks are available if you must. The mattresses are incredible, too -- a more perfect night's sleep can not be found! As a couple, we have bed-and-breakfasted all over the country, coast to coast, and this is the only one we repeatedly return to. You will not be disappointed here!

Linda and Bill are so friendly and remember every detail. This was our 2nd time back and enjoyed it even more!

We have visited this inn many times throughout the last 6-8 years. It only gets better! Innkeepers are two of the nicest people we've met!

This was the best weekend getaway we've ever had! Whispering Pines is beautiful and peaceful and Linda and Bill provided wonderful service. We felt rested and relaxed- completely rejuvenated!

$235 for a stay of 3pm-11am is pricey for us. This was a gift. Would go to B&B's more often if the price was better. Just stayed in Tenn. at an upscale hotel with good breakfast for $64 a night.

pleasant and tranquil. The beds felt like clouds and the atmosphere that of Grandma's house. In one word: "warm"

What a great way to escape from the day to day...romantic room, delicious breakfast, and much needed silence!

We were looking for the perfect getaway to relax and reconnect, and we found it and then some!!

This lovely place is a home away form home. Privacy, excellent service, food and the rooms are cozy and beautiful.

relaxing, friendly inn. Beautiful surroundings and great owners. hope to return!

If you don't like friendly people, delicious food, and comfortable rooms, this place isn't for you!

As soon as you walk in the door, you are care free! Everything slips away, to bad when you leave, everything that went away comes back, but the food was amazing, the relaxing music in the room is a great relaxing touch. I'll be back!

This is the place to come for total relaxation and quiet. We stopped at the local winery, scheduled an in-room massage, and enjoyed total relaxation! We loved it!

everything was terrific!

If you are looking for a romantic getaway, Whispering Pines provides the ideal setting. It is well worth the expense. The rooms are beautiful, clean, and well equipped. Bill and Linda are awesome people. we loved our experience!

Was a little disappointed in the room, service and food. I thought the breakfast would offer much more and the service from owners was just OK. Sometimes it seemed as though we were a bother and not paying guests, although our room was $215.00 per night.

Whispering Pines was by far one of the best B&B's we have stayed. Immaculately kept & friendly.

Love this place! We come back every year and more if possible.

We have stayed at Whispering Pines every year, this was our fifth year. The surroundings are beautiful overlooking Atwood Lake. We feel as if we are visiting family talking with Linda and Bill.

This is our 3rd stay at a B & B, and this is so superior to the others, while the others were enjoyable, you cannot beat their homemade breakfasts!! I gained 10 lbs. in 3 days! They will build you an outdoor fire, bring coffee to your door, there is Bose music in every room,organic lotions etc... The owners are so nice and accommodating, that we will go back! They are also in the process of building an addition on that will house a theater room, TV and pool table. Plenty to do and see.

Although currently under construction, Whispering Pines is a wonderful place to stay for a romantic getaway or a ladies only weekend. Carroll county is very beautiful and the B & B is set on a nice piece of property that overlooks the lake. The gardens and waterfall are very charming, and while I was there several weddings had taken place. The room was wonderful and exactly what I expected but some of the antique furniture has a musty smell that is only slighty noticible. The downfalls to our stay besides the fact that we wanted to stay longer was the sewage smell coming off the lake, the obvious construction, and the choice of meal options; most restaurants close early or have strange hours so check the times with Linda before venturing around. Overall, our stay was pleasant and breakfast was enjoyable (especially the baked apple drizzled in sauce).

We are repeat visitors, and find that each season at Whispering Pines has its own treasurers. The innkeepers are great hosts and Linda's breakfasts are wonderful - everything home made.

Even though it was a rainy weekend, the accommodations and owners made the time super. food was terrific. Highly recommend Whispering Pines to others!

We've been looking for a place nearby, where we could find rest from life in the inner city and are so glad to have found Whispering Pines! It is a delight to all of our senses and Linda and Bill couldn't be more gracious.

We had a wonderful stay. The room was beautiful and very clean. Excellent service! Breakfast was delicious. We would highly recommend the Whispering Pines B&B.

Romantic, relaxing, friendly and inviting.

Linda and Bill are fantastic- the atmosphere was relaxing, the setting is spectacular. Everything was exceptional. The breakfast was scrumptious. The walks, music, and conversation were very rewarding. A must to visit. We will return.

We had an excellent time at Whispering Pines with Linda and Bill. The service is outstanding, the view is great, the house is gorgeous, and there are many things to do.

This has been the most healing and relaxing experience in a long time. The setting was great, the accomodations fantastic. The food was delicious. The view was magnificent.

Thank you to Bill and Linda for a chance to get away. My room was wonderful - luxurious, clean, relaxing, and full of wonderful touches. I slept like a baby in the beautiful bed, relaxed in the jacuzzi, and enjoyed coffee delivered to my door in the morning. I'll be returning!

Whispering Pines was a perfect place to get-away from our busy lives. The house is beautiful and the location peaceful.

Our wedding back home and honeymoon here was like a wonderful dream. This was the perfect get-away and so close to home. It took us a couple days to fully unwind and appreciate the beauty here. In the full size hot tub with my honey, watching the sun coming up through the spruce tree in the morning mist, the relaxing cd's provided in our room, Linda's fabulous breakfasts, the huge ultra-comfortable bed, the charm of the wonderfully decorated honeymoon suite was fabulous!!! Every small detail was incredible! We will be back and hope to relive this incredible time and place. Thank you so much Linda and Bill for sharing this with so many people. Wishing you both God's blessings.

My husband and I were looking for a close to home getaway for our 14th wedding anniversary. I decided Atwood Lake was a beautiful area and began looking for accomodations. Whispering Pines was our first B&B experience and I felt completely at home. The home is spectacular and the peace tranquility were exactly what we were looking for. We are hoping to return in the fall and then next year to renew our wedding vows.

We recently visited the Whispering Pines Bed and Breakfast, which was our first bed and breakfast trip. The experience could not have been better - we absolutely loved it there. Bill and Linda gave us personal attention and accommodated our dietary needs. The rooms were tasefully decorated, very clean and cozy and breakfast was superb. We would highly recommend this location for anyone looking for a relaxing get-a-way.

My husband and I planned a weekend getaway, the Whispering Pines B&B was outstanding! The room was very comfortable, the food was excellant, the grounds are beautiful! The weekend we were their happened to be very snowy, it was fun to be snowed in. I highly recommend this B&B!

My husband and I wanted a nice relaxing weekend away. Whispering Pines provided us with just that. Beautiful surroundings, warm-friendly inn keepers and a delicious home cooked breakfast. We also both got a massage that was fabulous. We look forward to coming back in years to come and continue to build lasting memories together.

My husband and I think this might be the best B&B we have stayed at: exceptionally clean; well decorated; welcoming; comfortable; friendly--all the attributes you look for in a getaway. The owners are delightful people and Linda makes a breakfast that is so good and good for you that it will leave you smiling all day. We can hardly wait for a return trip!

In lieu of a big party we asked our kids to get us a "weekend getaway package." We had no idea it would be so lovely. Threenights at an exquisite b&b. The host and hostess were friendly, the rooms charming to the 'nth degree and the setting on Atwood Lake was restful and unique.

We enjoy going to Whispering Pines. The hospitality is warm, the breakfast outstanding, the room clean and furnished nicely. The area has many options for activities on the lake. We always look for the opportunity to return.
