    I have no words to describe how wonderful my stay at Whispering Springs was! The grounds are absolutely gorgeous and so well maintained. The staff were all so sweet and helpful. We loved the treetop tent and it was super comfortable! The forest chapel is truly what dreams are made of and mark my words, one day I will get married there! 10/10 would recommend!

    A little bit of a late review, because I got busy, but I just have to say how much I loved this place. i got married there about a year and a half ago, and it was the most amazing wedding I could have wished for. All of our guests had a blast and still talk about it till this day. This place offers a great combination of wilderness and luxury. Me and my husband are both very outdoorsy and camp a lot, so it perfectly represented us. Of course noone wants to actually camp at their wedding, and you want to be comfortable, have electricity and proper washrooms and showers, and this resort offered all of that. Our wedding was very beautiful, fun and unique. The staff is amazing. I decided not to have a wedding planner, and the ladies that worked there helped a lot. Nina, Leslie and a few other ladies were always very responsive throughout the whole planning stage and the actual day of the wedding, when I really needed someone to direct people and follow the timeline. They also did a couple of extra things to help us with a few unexpected things, and even contacted us a year after the wedding, because they found one of our cards with cash lost, and they took their time to mail it to us. Great experience overall.

    Absolutely gorgeous setting and amazing, luxurious tents. Resort -like amenities (salt water pool, hot tub, sitting areas, bar, trails). Felt like I was much further than a half hour away from home! Had such a fantastic time at Whispering Springs- next time I'll be staying for 2 nights instead of one. I can't wait to return!!

    We had our wedding at Whispering Springs this past weekend and it was absolutely magical. The venue is top notch and the staff are the most kind and helpful people you will ever meet. They treat you like family. The venue coordinator, Nina is so helpful and easy to work with. Nancy, the owner is amazing. Leslie and Janet who helped out on the day of the wedding were really fun and relaxing to be around. I loved them all and I would recommend this venue to everyone. Our guests loved the whole experience. It was unique and so very beautiful. Thank you Whispering Springs! The love and passion for what you do is evident.

    We had our wedding at Whispering Springs and we couldn't have asked for a better experience! The Whispering Springs staff were amazing on the day of our wedding. Janet went above and beyond to check in on us periodically while we were getting ready and made sure that we had everything we needed. The team was so helpful and made sure that everything ran smoothly. The golf cart shuttle is a great touch and allowed some of our elderly guests to get to the forest chapel safely. The grounds and tents are beautiful and offer a unique experience. The forest chapel is magical and was the perfect place for us to tie the knot. We can't wait to go back for our anniversary!

    We visited Whispering Springs for my Cousins’s wedding this past weekend. The grounds are absolutely beautiful and so serene. My family and I shared the Chalet which was perfect. It had everything you could possibly need, including a hot tub which was a great way to finish off the night. The staff were all very accommodating and friendly to interact with. I highly recommend Whispering Springs as a great getaway destination. We can’t wait to come back in the future for some glamping & more great memories!

    This place is absolutely magical. We were 3 friends staying in 2 neighbouring tents in the most stunning spot. The staff are incredible and will ensure you have everything you need and provide you with things you didn’t think you needed. Bill is the most helpful, knowledgeable, and generous soul I have ever met in the hospitality industry and made our stay unforgettable. If you are a fan of margaritas, I highly recommend the ones at The Watering Hole. We are planning a return trip in 2024. Thank you!!

    I attended for a wedding. It's an incredible place. Only issue is the distance from the tents to the main area. Not everyone there was capable of the walks. A 15 min walk is 30 for someone with a disability or a senior. They do offer golf cart rides but with no cell service there is no way to summon one while you are in your tent or a fire pit on the other side of the park. Just a suggestion but every tent should have a golf cart that they can use if they choose too. Amazing place otherwise and would recommend.

    I recently got married at whispering springs and I could not have asked for a better experience. The staff makes sure your day goes by smoothly and they are extremely organized. They work with you in order to make sure your day is everything you wished for and they've exceed my expectations. My guests have all said how beautiful the accommodations are. Unfortunately for us, it had rained and was cold on our wedding day but the staff at the springs made sure all the tents had heated blankets and heaters, they made sure the pavilion had heaters for the reception, they had to many umbrellas for everyone to use and were extremely accommodating when my husband and I were trying to figure out if we would have the ceremony in the forest chapel or if we wished to have it under the pavilion. 10/10 Would recommend getting married here. They've made my wedding planning/experience one I would never forget. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

    I booked a last minute one night stay for my husbands birthday. We had the most wonderful time and plan to come back every year with friends and family! He said he enjoyed our one night at whispering springs just as much, if not more than our trip to Mexico! It’s such a relaxing and peaceful atmosphere, it does not feel like you’re only a short drive away from the city! the staff are so kind and helpful, they provide you with everything you need for your stay and more. We stayed in a treetop safari tent, it was absolutely magical and such a cool experience.

    We had a lovely one night stay at this resort. The room was wonderful. The serving staff were kind and helpful. The name Alex stood out as being particularly fantastic. The food kits we ordered were delicious. At the end of our stay we had a lovely chat with the very kind and knowledgeable owner. We will definitely be back!

    Having a wedding at Whispering Springs is incredible because they run like a well oiled machine, and yet never make you feel like a number. Their energy, enthusiasm, responsiveness, and attention to detail would make you think you are their only wedding this year! The grounds are immaculately kept and the space is so unique. We truly couldn’t recommend Whispering Springs enough- truly a 10/10 venue all around!

    Went here for a friends wedding. Staff were amazing and the venue was beautiful. We stayed in the Scuttlebutt Forest Bell Tents which are on the cheaper end compared to the other tents but are super cute and cozy. The tent and bathrooms were super clean. Would definitely recommend

    Whispering Springs was absolutely serene. My husband and I were looking for a couples one-night staycation and we got everything we wanted and more here. The property is beautiful, with paths to wander, a pond for fishing or rowing, and the most stunning Forest Chapel. The tents and common areas are beautifully decorated and comfortable and the outdoor space is well thought out. Whether we were sitting in the hot tub, on a patio, or by our campfire the environment was peaceful, relaxing and beautiful. I had to make a last minute change to my booking and received quick, friendly help, which extended to every interaction once we arrived as well. If I had one recommendation to make it would be to have more available walk-up food options, however the wood fired pizza we had for dinner was tasty. We can’t wait to return, thank you so much for the hospitality.

    This place is a special gem! My mum and I recently enjoyed a two-day retreat here at whispering springs, not only was it an exceptional experience, the owners and staff on site are tremendous and clearly committed to ensuing our stay was nothing short of amazing and personalized. Beyond the experience, we made amazing connections with other guest and staff. The food and entertainment is 5 stars as well! If you’re looking for a gateway that is down to earth in style, this is the spot for you! Highly recommend and the work they are doing to serve more people and the greater community makes me want to support this venue and come back again even more. Ask Nancy about their new ventures! You’ll understand 😉

    If you are looking for a unique and memorable wedding experience, look no further!! Whispering Springs gave me and my guests the wedding I dreamed of, and more! Nina March was very helpful in planning and accommodating my needs. She answered all of my questions, and put my worries to rest. She worked with me and my Vendors wonderfully. On the day of, the Whispering Springs team was so helpful and friendly! They helped direct us, golf-carted our wedding party and our guests requiring physical assistance, and provided a welcoming atmosphere. Do not miss out on this wonderful venue, and its amazing staff! Many thanks!!

    I recently had the most amazing experience at Whispering Springs Resort! The resort's tranquil surroundings and soothing atmosphere made it the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The hospitality provided by the staff was top-notch. Their warm and friendly demeanor truly enhanced the overall experience. Nestled amidst nature's splendor, Whispering Springs Resort boasts breathtaking landscapes that seem straight out of a postcard. The well-maintained gardens, charming cabins, and serene lake views added an extra touch of magic to my stay. If you're looking for a place to unwind, recharge, and connect with nature, I highly recommend Whispering Springs Resort. You won't be disappointed!
