About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Whispering Pines - Remote Feel, Close to the City!

Much of the 2.5-acre property is wooded, with several open areas perfect for relaxing, playing games, or simply enjoying the outdoors. The large circular driveway makes coming and going easy, even when hosting gatherings with multiple vehicles, trailers and RVs.

Covered porches on both the front and back of the home invite you to slow down and unwind, with a spacious great room connecting everything in between. This central gathering space includes the living room, kitchen, dining area, full bathroom, and office — making it ideal for spending quality time together, sharing meals, or hosting special moments with family and friends.

The first-floor bedroom sits just off the great room and features private doors leading directly to the rear porch. Imagine waking up, stepping outside with a cup of coffee, and watching the morning light filter through the trees while deer and wildlife pass quietly by. It’s a peaceful, cozy way to start the day or wind down in the evening.

The second bedroom is upstairs with a large walk-in closet, while the third bedroom is located in the basement next to the laundry room. All three bedrooms offer scenic views, closets, flat-screen TVs, and storage for your belongings, creating comfortable retreats after a day of exploring. The first- and second-floor bedrooms each have their own private full bathrooms for added convenience.

Additional sleeping options include a sofa bed in the great room, an extra queen mattress in the upstairs closet, and air mattresses to accommodate larger groups.

Guests are welcome to explore short trails that wind through the woods, where wildlife sightings are common and nature feels close at hand. The trails extend across several acres and lead to an open field (utility easement) on the east side of the property, surrounded by scenic hills and Whispering Pines. There are neighbors to the west, but the spacing between properties maintains a private, peaceful atmosphere. Behind the home, the land drops down the knobs, offering beautiful seasonal scenery year-round.

You’ll be hard-pressed to find another property with this much space, privacy, and natural beauty so close to the city — especially at this value. It’s the perfect blend of comfort, nature, and convenience.

Excellent property and exactly as depicted. The property is tucked back in the woods so it feels remote but is only about 20min from Louisville. House is fully stocked with all kitchen supplies and has plenty of extra towels. The inside is clean, well maintained and spacious with large bedrooms/bathrooms. There are at least 3 outdoor fire pits and a gas fire pit on the front porch for when its too wet outside for a real fire. For the outdoor pits there is plenty of wood to be found on the property or you can buy wood at the gas station. The closest grocery store is a Kroger about 5 miles away. Dog friendly!! Our dogs go everywhere with us and they had a blast running and playing in the leaves. We loved this property and would gladly book again.

We really enjoyed our stay at this cabin in the woods. It was very quiet. We even saw two deer on the property when we went back to the cabin one evening after a day out. The cabin was satisfactorily clean, however, it could use some deep cleaning here and there. And the outside property could use some sprucing up.

This place is absolutely perfect. Close to the highway but not too close to be a disturbance. Beautiful cabin back off the road, so it’s private. I would recommend everyone to stay here, and Gabe is one of the best hosts I’ve ever had. Great experience overall, hope to return again.

We had a fantastic stay! The property was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and well-stocked with everything we needed. The location was perfect, and the host was responsive, helpful, and easy to communicate with throughout the entire process. The location was awesome—close to everything but still quiet and peaceful. We felt right at home and would absolutely stay here again and loved that we could bring our dogs! Highly recommend!

Host was very prompt and courteous to communicate with. Cabin is in a beautiful and quiet country setting, yet you are only minutes from Louisville, New Albany, and Jeffersonville. Lots of family friendly things to see and do in the area, or you can just relax and hang out in this very spacious and clean cabin. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would highly recommend this cabin, and we look forward to possibly staying here again in the future.

Ezcellent stay

We came down with 4 adults and 3 kids plus our little yorkies. We had enough room for everyone and everything was very convenient. It was very quiet and 2 of us went for a walk to see the sunset in the valley. Beautiful. Our host was very friendly and easy to get a hold of and answered all of my questions with quickness and ease. Thank you Gabriel for a wonderful stay.

Peaceful and private stay

We enjoyed a quiet restful stay at the cabin, a very private setting. We were visited by turkeys, turtles, and deer. Just what we needed to unwind! We were able to access great places to hike and visit Louisville within 20 minutes driving, and just enjoyed driving around the winding roads. Gabriel is a great host, accommodating to our requests and just overall friendly!

Perfect hideaway

Absolutely stunning accomodations. Felt like we were in Colorado rather than Louisville, KT. Very clean, multiple baths and bedrooms. Enjoyed the large screen television, wifi, and games. Convenient to town and restaurants with great access to the highway. If we head back that way again, we will definitely book again!

Perfect for family

This property was absolutely perfect for our blended family with 4 teens. It gave us all ruin to spread out. Everyone found something fun to do while there, from outside exploration to a record player inside. The porch was lovely to sit outside in the morning. It was quiet. There was a family of turkeys on the property. Everything was clean, well organized and just nice. We had a working washer and dryer, were able to get groceries delivered, the kitchen had everything you could ever ask for! It was a short drive to Louisville, we would stay here again should we be back. The only down side? This might be the perfect rental for our family and we may never find anything as perfect again.
