Interesting Guests Packages Things to do

Grilfriends getaway at our Ohio bed and breakfast

Over the years Whispering Pines has been host to many girlfriend getaways because we created a very appealing weekday package to take advantage of. Since I’ve started to blog, I thought I would share two different groups, one with four friends and the other with eight women. We always look forward to these occasions and because of all the laughter we know they are having a great time. Who wouldn’t enjoy a complete body massage, a welcome tray of cheese, crackers and a beverage, two lovely dinners, a delicious breakfast and roasting s’mores out at the fire pit. Bill has just about completed the sun room, a perfect place for groups to hang out without disturbing other house guests. Many a card game and board games have been won and lost and memories relived.

The group on the left were friends from the Columbus, Ohio area. Darlene, Linda, Nancy and Jennie stayed two nights. When they arrived they enjoyed their welcome tray and promptly made a decision to spend the following day in the Amish area. They were a lovely group and enjoyed their time together. We enjoyed having them.

The group of women on the right actually stayed four nights. Their story is quite unique. Carol, Ann Marie, Sharon, Mary, Edna, Linda, Rahjini and Carolyn began their history in a little superb of Pittsburgh – they were neighbors, young mothers raising their children. Twenty-seven years ago they decided to take a trip and thus was born the “Escapees”. They truly were the pioneers of the “girlfriends getaway” concept. Even though they have all moved, some as far away as Texas, Connecticut, Maryland and Ohio, this is a yearly event in their lives. This group took advantage of the activities in Canton, the Amish area, loved the Alpaca farm and went clay pigeon shooting. They even allowed me the honor of looking at their sacred memory book which began 27 years ago. We enjoyed them as much as they enjoyed being at Whispering Pines.

Let me know about your girlfriends getaways and how we can customize your package for your great escape.

Hope to see you soon,

Events Packages

Small Wedding Ideas

If you are looking for a small place to hold a very intimate wedding ceremony for a small group of special friends, you may want to consider Whispering Pines. We off two packages for six to 40 guests in a beautiful setting overlooking picturesque Atwood Lake. Most of the wedding ceremonies are preformed outside wherever the bride and groom choose. They have been at the upper waterfalls on a raised deck, under the pine trees, in the brick courtyard and even on the bridge over the stream. In cold weather months the ceremony can be in the Victorian parlor and the larger great room.
This September James and Alisha had twelve very close friends attend their wedding ceremony. They selected the wedding cake reception. Instead of serving the cake at the Inn, they all had dinner at the Lighthouse Bistro, located on the west end of the lake, and the restaurant served the wedding cake for dessert. It was a lovely day with the sun beaming down on two very happy newlyweds. Photos were taken by Melissa Brenneman.

The weather was very cooperative this year and allow for another gorgeous day for a wedding at Whispering Pines. The groom is a very casual person and wore a Hawaiian shirt. The bride looked beautiful with her two children standing besides them as they exchanged wedding vows. They selected the full reception and many of the guests stayed overnight as well.

Hope to see you soon,
