It was a cozy cabin and the restaurant had a beautiful view of Norfolk lake. Cabins are a bit older and outdated but cute and cozy. Good price for a peaceful getaway.
Friendly staff checked is in inside the restaurant. The cabin was clean, comfy, and decorated adorably. Had all the utensils and appliances we needed in the kitchen. Beds were so comfortable! A friendly black cat greeted us outside the cabin. Overall, an excellent stay!! I’d also like to add La Torcia brick oven pizza place in Mountain Home was delicious!
I 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.
We stayed in the lakeview cabin! It was cozy & cute! The view of Norfork Lake was beautiful! We had dinner at the restaurant which was delicious! We would definitely stay here again!

This was our second time staying with Whispering Woods. The hot water was not working when we arrived and as we had a delayed flight into Little Rock, we did not arrive at our cabin until 1130 pm. There was no way to reach the staff until the next morning after ten AM. My wife was not happy with no hot water to shower with. I got a staff member who asked me if I had tried the trouble shooting list. There was no trouble shooting list in our cabin. She asked me if I could fix the problem, and as we were on the road visiting family, I could not do this. She asked me if I would like her to fix the problem; I said yes and the problem was fixed when we returned to the cabin that evening. My wife complained that the pots in the cabinet were not clean. We had a very nice view of Lake Norfolk from our back patio. The air conditioning worked well.

Highly recommend. Wonderful stay.
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.

Beautiful 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.

Will Come Again!
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.

Very 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 :)

The 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.
Cabin 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.

Our 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.
