Whispering Woods

January 5, 2008 Great location and complex. Less than an hour from Portland airport and 20 minutes to 3 ski resorts; Timberline, Mt. Hood Meadows and Mt. Hood Ski Bowl. Discount ski tickets to Timberline are sold in the office and discount golf to the adjacent course is available. The unit was a 2bd/2ba plus loft. About 1300 sq. ft. with a single car garage. Good for when it snows!! Remodeled throughout a few years ago. All units face the golf course and have great mountain views. A small deck off the living room is great during the summer months for outdoor living which we have enjoyed on previous visits. The development is older but very well maintained. Great staff to answer all your questions and help you out. Nice walking paths around the area. There is a small but very adequate grocery store nearby if you like to cook, and several good restaurants nearby. Pool is heated and open all year round.

Great place to stay in the winter. Skiing and sledding is a short drive away. The places are nicely furnished with a heated pool. Workout room doesn't have much. Great place to read and relax!

The 2 bedroom townhouses on the golf fairways are of absolutely first class construction. They even put a stained glass window in each one. The natural setting is your typical westcoast rainforest with the tall cedars and douglas fir. Tons of onsite hiking trails down to the Salmon River. Nearby is Mt. Hood, Portland, The Columbia River Gorge, Multnomah Falls.....all must sees. About two hours away to the southeast is the Bend/Sunriver resort area. This area is semi- arid and very different from Welches' green forests. Many volcanic sites to visit.....the Lava Butte and Lava River Caves are most memorable just south of Bend. Bend, itself, has been written up as one of the most habitable cities in America. It really is a pretty town.
