Our home is located across the road from the steps to our lake access. Please feel free to enjoy the waterfront and dock but the boat is not for use.
The house is very well stocked with everything you need to feel at home. We have a kid-friendly home with games, toys, Xbox, Wii, and a fun sprinkler to keep kids busy. We also have a high chair and Pack N Play.
Some Details: - The driveway is steep and can be challenging for some people. Extra care should be taken when going up and down - We are always reachable while you enjoy your stay but will not disturb your privacy - Our neighbors are full-time residents so please be mindful of noise in the evenings - We do not have central AC but there are window AC units in the bedrooms. Please note the AC units are put in Memorial Day weekend and removed Columbus Day weekend.

My husband and I stayed at this rental with friends and it was a lovely stay. Great location, great view, amazing home. The house was very clean and stocked with items we would potentially need during our stay. The hosts were great and accomodating, we were traveling a long way and they were able to accommodate our requests to check in early.
We loved the house , very clean comfortable well equipped and located across the road to a lake with a small beach !! Close drive to many attractions and wineries even though we enjoyed staying in and relaxing!! Great hosts , very friendly and welcoming! Highly recommended!!
Nice and convenient location overlooking the lake. Well kept and modernized home with many amenities. Lake access. Great view. Owner very reaponsive and accommodating. Great stay.
Amazing hospitality, cozy and comfortable stay for the long weekend. Leslie and Victor were very responsive, even at a short notice. Incredible views from the deck, ideal getaway from the city!
The house was beautiful and clean. All of the necessities were provided. The kitchen also had everything we needed from pots and pans to hot plates and cork screws. It was a wonderful and relaxing weekend!
We had a wonderful get away in the Finger Lakes. Leslie's home was perfect for us! The home was well stocked with everything and anything you would need or want. The lake views were amazing and we were able enjoy the dock on the water for fishing. The location, views and amenities were perfect!
Property was beautiful, clean and had everything you needed in the kitchen. The location was fantastic for lake, winery and town. The driveway was steep (as described) but we quickly figured out how to best park our car and truck.
Sitting overlooking the west branch of Keuka, the house is situated perfectly for a laid back retreat. That means it’s quiet during the evenings, close enough to local country store (2 miles), close to dozens of wineries, and comfortable furnishings. Firepit was a nice touch too.
We had a great stay and loved the area. The porch swing was our favorite place to sit and relax. The house was clean and has everything you need. Beds are comfortable. I would stay here again!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The house is beautifully decorated, clean, cozy, and super comfortable. The outside sitting areas are so relaxing and offer amazing views. Leslie and Victor have made sure that you have everything you need. Check in and check out were both super easy! There are many activities, wineries, and restaurants to enjoy in the area. Thank you for a wonderful vacation!
Homeowner was great and communication process was spot on. Beautiful home with nice Lake views. Checked out local restaurants and nearby Wineries. Rented a boat from Basin Marina very close by and had a perfect day on the Lake. Would highly recommend staying here.
The property and house were beautiful. It was exactly as described and what the pictures showed. Leslie and Victor were very responsive to our messages. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home.
Convenient location, well stocked, spacious and clean place, beautiful views and responsive hosts all made for a relaxing and memorable stay. We launched our kayaks and swam off the beach down the hill every day. Easy drive to the area's parks, wineries, etc. The driveway was manageable for both the parking and daily walks down to the lake (and we had wide range of ages and health conditions in group). I hope to stay here again soon!
We were very pleased with all aspects of our stay.
The view of the lake was perfect- very peaceful and quiet.
The home was spotless and tastefully decorated throughout.
Check in and check out were easy.
We dined on the lake at both the Switz and the Lakefront; both within 10 minutes and beautiful sunsets over the water at both.
We would definitely consider booking again, and would recommend to anyone visiting the Lake Keuka area.
Thank you Leslie, for sharing your home with us!

Wonderful, relaxing rental
We had a lovely stay at Leslie and Victor’s vacation home. They were exceptional and generous hosts. They provided us with a high chair and some toys for our 1-year-old son. The house was well equipped but perfectly minimal for a vacation home - especially if you are staying there with a young child. The view was amazing. We enjoyed dinner outside on the deck each night. We would highly recommend renting their property and hope to visit again ourselves in the future. Thank you for our wonderful stay!
Whispering Pines was the ideal stay for our relaxing week. The home was fully stocked and proximity to restaurants, stores, and attractions were ideal. The firepit was perfect for a clear night and the gas outdoor grill was great for family dinners. The streaming services for tv was convenient as well. Beds were comfy, and the window units provided more than enough cool air during the summer. Water pressure and temps were perfect with the whole home tankless water heater. Thanks so much for this well needed family vacation!
Whispering Pines is a newer home that was very clean and comfortable. Everything was very clean and was stocked with everything we could want or need.
Leslie one of the Owners was easy/great to work with, responding quickly to the few questions we had.
Driveway is steep as explained in the listing.
We were very impressed that not only were the sheets and towels clean the quilts were freshly laundered too.
Excellent location and would recommend Whispering Pines to anyone looking to a great vacation rental.
My husband and I were looking forward to getting away after my husband had radiation to the brain. Unfortunately we had to leave early due to my husband becoming ill. The emergency response people were truly amazing. Wish it turned out differently. 😞.
Your home is beautiful and we are grateful we got to stay a couple of nights.
