Apr 17, 2026I have been staying at Whispering Woods once a month on average for work over the last five years. I love these little cabins overlooking Norfork Lake. They are very cozy and comfortable. The onsite restaurant is a big plus and the staff are so kind and accommodating.

Jul 19, 2026This place is just what you want and more than you expect. Quaint cabins, well equipped, clean, not too fancy. The entire property is maintained in a manner that reflects a lot of hard work. Sits atop a hill overlooking the lake. Great location for all the many outdoor attractions in the area. The restaurant is unbelievable. I had a sea bass entree that was a good as any fancy restaurant in NYC. And if you have a complaint (I didn't) the folks that own and operate it were both right there. There is zero risk in reserving a spot at Whispering Woods. Plan to eat dinner. Reserve a window table if you can.

This place was amazing. Quite little cabins in a wonderful setting. We paid for the lake view and would do it again without doubt. Watched the sun set over the lake. Had an amazing meal at their restaurant. Highly recommend.

My 11-year-old and I stayed in Cabin 4 before driving to Blanchard Springs Cavern. Our cabin was clean, the water pressure was perfect, the bed was comfortable, and it was a nice change from a hotel.
I completely missed that reservations are almost a must at the Grill, but we were able to make an order to go.

Nov 29, 2025Beautiful location. Using a map on phone was not accurate location unless you put the complete address in. Difficult at night. “Wilderness Woods Cabins are very cute and the Grill sadly is only open for maybe lunch and dinner. Cabins are cute and comfortable and the Norfolk Lake and dining on the deck would be lovely in the Spring or fall.
8/10 Very good

Sep 2, 2025Very rustic. Our cabin was very convenient to the restaurant. Nice kitchen. Clean.
Quite small but not a problem for us as we only really slept there. Floors were so out of level my wife felt like we were back on a cruise ship. Brass fixtures on the bathroom sink are turning green, and faucet handles are very squeeky. So very rustic :)
8/10 Very good

Jun 13, 2025Cabin was excellent. Very clean. Kitchenette has everything you need. Fantastic view of Norfork Lake. If you reserve Lake View Cabin you may get any one of 3, although one is named Lake View. Lake View cabins are 30 feet from busy Hwy 177. Traffic is non-stop. Very noisy.
Grill good but very pricey. Be sure to reserve a table. If you eat on the patio request a fly fan.
8/10 Very good

Nov 30, 2025The accommodations were excellent. Our cabin was clean, the back porch had a great view, we ate breakfast on the picnic table. It was great. The only complaint/suggestion I have is for an updated pull out sofa. It was absolutely wretched. Our teenage daughter woke us up bc the fold out had collapsed at her head. Turned out it was broke. We were barely able to fold the bed back into the couch so she could sleep.
Other than that, definitely going on my list of places to visit again.

Sep 3, 2025Our cabin was very clean and neatly furnished. The deck looked over the lake. One bed was super soft and the other was firm. The kitchen had plates, utensils, etc. with a fridge and stove. The bathroom while tiny, had a showerhead with handle and enough towels for 2 people. The restaurant was busy, so reservation helped. The food was delicious. Our server was a rookie, kept calling us "beautiful people," which was odd, but she was young LOL. The satellite TV took some effort & a young helper to figure out, but we managed. I would recommend as a lovely getaway but perhaps not so much with little kids.
