Immediately upon turning into Whispering Pines Dr., I saw A  Bed of Roses and was transported back to my childhood to the lakes of Minnesota.  The air was fragrant with a memorable scent evocative of running through summer grasses and taking early summer dips in warm, squishy-bottomed lake waters.  The aroma of freshly baked something assailed my nostrils and the sight of our room flooded my memories of good times and happy family moments.  The cool, blue pool lowered my temperature while it heightened my expectations - all of which were surpassed in a delightful, restorative week's stay.It was better than a spa stay, more restful than a cruise, and all one could wish for a vacation!  Jo Ann M.

 We stayed in the Garden Rose Room with my wife Anna, our 2 daughters and their cousin. The views in the room, of the surrounding mountains, were spectacular and with so many windows, it felt like we were always outdoors! We enjoyed the swimming pool, the deck! We saw a lot of wildlife while just sitting on the deck enjoying mother nature, including a deer and a couple eagles soaring above us. We have not stopped talking about our visit there since we have left and we will definitely be back! Brian A. Black River Falls, Wisconsin

What's wonderful about this place is the HOSPITALITY of the owners!  In my 93 years, I've travelled throughout the world, but this is one of the best places I've ever stayed. Frank H., Honolulu, Hawaii
