Whispering Woods - 2 Questions

[Ann-Marie Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Ann-Marie]

We will be there 8/4-11/06 Anyone else there at that time?

Also, we have a 2BR. It looks like the resort is small. Are all room locations good? I was considering calling for a handicap room. We are currently assigned Room number 467. Any input?

Whispering Woods

Hi Ann-Marie,
I don't remember much about Whispering Woods except when we were there about 10 years ago we had a very good time. I was there with my wife and at that time my 11 year old daughter and 6 year old son. I remember we went for a walk in the early evening and got lost out on the golf course but we did see some deer on it. I also remember nearby was a pizza parlar that had great tasting pizza. We also went horseback riding nearby for less then half the price it cost here in Northern California.
The Resort was nice and peacefull and we had a relaxing stay. I also think that this was the resort we found a golf ball had gone through the upstairs window and we found a tree frog upstairs (perfect for the kids on both items).

Anne-Marie -

I'm not an expert on Whispering Woods - we have only stayed there once during the winter a couple of years ago. I don't recall the # of the unit, but if you can, I think I would try for the loft style 2BR. We were on an RCI exchange and were disappointed with the 2BR we had. It was "OK" but seemed small to me for 4 people. Seemed a little "dated" It did have a nice view of the golf course and the wildlife from the deck and the staff was very friendly and helplful. I just thought the other style of 2BR was probably larger.

We've enjoyed Whispering Woods greatly. I've reviewed it twice at TUG, so no need to repeat those thoughts again.

Whispering Woods was built in two phases; in the RCI catalog these are identified as Whispering Woods I and Whispering Woods II. IIRC - all of the 2-bedroom units at Whispering Woods II are second floor units and can only be reached via stairs. We've never stayed in Whispering Woods I, but I believe all units in WW-I are accessed at ground level.
