One of the nicest B&B’s we’ve stayed at. Brian, our host made it even better by having a fresh pot of coffee available at 7:30am the next morning and a great breakfast at 9. He’s very personable, with a good sense of humor. If you come on motorcycles like we did, be aware that you need to drive about 200... More

This place is fantastic. Secluded without actually being too far from town, quiet and comfortable, completely beautiful. The decor is charming and kind of quirky. The eponymous waters are indeed very soothing- we left the windows open and I slept like a log. We had a great time poking around in the woods, playing with a super friendly cat by... More

My husband and I stayed in Whispering Waters' cabin this past weekend in celebration of my 40th birthday. The cabin itself featured bottled water, a sideboard complete with a nice selection of dishes, glassware, tea, hot chocolate mix, a coffee maker and a decent-sized refrigerator/freezer, as well as a screened in porch with swing (complete with fleece blankets for napping...

A very delightful place to stay, very clean and comfortable. Not like your more common bed & breakfasts you find in the downtown area. This B&B is focused on rest, peace and quiet. No traffic noise, just the sound a meandering stream. We stayed in the spring house which has only one bedroom and a glass/screen in porch area with... More

We stayed at Whispering Waters for our honeymoon in October. This was the perfect location for a relaxing and romantic weekend. The property was gorgeous and close to the downtown Traverse City area. We stayed in the cabin which was lovely, also, spotless and private. There is a beautiful stream in the back with a fire pit. If you love... More

We found online and decided to try one night with the thought of returning In the summer. We stayed in the lower floor of the Spring Hill Suite. The room was unbelievable. A great attention to detail. Tastefully decorated with a lot of unique features and hand crafted items. The linens were gorgeous the bathroom shower was hand crafted stone... More

We visited Whispering Waters for two nights and loved the experience. We stayed at the Cabin and could hear the stream. In fact we could see the stream. The loft bedroom allowed us to see the stars at night through the skylights. The property held so many delightful surprises - a horse and two alpacas to admire, tucked away places... More

We just got back from a marvelous weekend. The bubbling brook behind our room, the big creek, the walks, and the grounds were beautiful. The room very nice and comfortable. The attention to little details was marvelous. My special meal requirements were handled well, changing from a down pillow, not a problem. The service was great. They have a couple... More

We (husband and I) just recently celebrated our 6 year anniversary here and could not have picked a better place!! We considered a more high-end bed and breakfast in Traverse City and are so thankful they were booked as we would not have had the same experience. As the website describes, as you drive down the long road leading to... More

We stayed last October for the first time and we are coming back next week. We loved it and will try to return every year. We stayed in the cabin which was so cozy. The skylights in the loft are perfect for star gazing in bed. The property couldn't have been more beautiful. My husband loves to fish and can't... More
