Whispering Waters | Romantic Creekside Escape
Whispering Waters invites you to slow down and reconnect in the peaceful beauty of the Chattahoochee National Forest. Designed with couples in mind, this secluded hideaway offers the perfect blend of romance, comfort, and natural charm.
Spend your evenings stargazing from the glowing igloo dome, soaking in the private hot tub, or cuddled up by the crackling Solo Stove firepit. Let the soft murmur of the nearby creek, always audible and visible through the trees, lull you to sleep and gently greet you each morning. Sip coffee from a local roaster or tea on the front porch swing or in the rocking chairs as the forest wakes around you.
Every detail is curated for comfort and connection, featuring stylish touches from West Elm and Crate & Barrel, plush throws, down pillows, spa-quality towels and robes from American Textile. The master bedroom features a king bed, while the second bedroom offers a queen, both with ceiling fans and Smart TVs for restful nights in.
The open-concept living area includes a rustic stone wood-burning fireplace, a 50” Smart Roku TV, mini-split A/C, and a dedicated work-from-home desk with a lamp, outlet, and high-speed Orbi Wi-Fi.
