Unique Property Features to enjoy during your stay.

What continues to draw guests back, time and time again are our unique property features and the history and architecture of the 1878 Victorian era farmhouse. You’ll find our amenities and modern conveniences allow you to relax and enjoy while creating memories. Jeanna loves to ‘talk story’ and share the history of Whispering Pines Bed & Breakfast, once a working farm, with her guests.

Making Memories

Fun & Games in the Den & Parlor

The parlor, dining room and den are common areas open to all guests. You are welcome to help piece together the community puzzle or gather around the dining table to play a game of cards, craft or just to chat. Gather on the porch or around the firepit to reminisce, share stories and dreams. Outdoor games are great for more active groups.

“’My mission is to create an experience like no other that allows you to relax your stresses, retreat from your day-to-day life and renew your sense of passion in life” - Jeanna

In August 2005, after 22 years in corporate technology, I took a leap of faith and left Austin, TX to return home to the midwest and purchase Whispering Pines Bed & Breakfast.

Having traveled extensively worldwide for work and pleasure, I gained an understanding of quality accommodations and also learned to embrace food as an experience, no matter your culture.

Around here, we’re often sharing travel stories, engaging in food or garden talk, discussing antiques, books, history or some other fascinating must-see. Building relationships is one thing I love to do and I welcome you to visit Whispering Pines Bed & Breakfast. Many will come as strangers and leave as friends.
