The on-line version of A Field Guide to Whisper Mountain is now available as a soft cover bound edition and is available to interested parties at Whisper Mountain. The guide offers technical information and fascinating facts about the flora and fauna found at Whisper. From butterflies and birds to trees and flowers, the gently illustrated guide truly reflects the depth of natural diversity found on Whisper Mountains 270 verdant wooded acres. When you visit our community, please feel free to stop by the lodge and request your personal copy. This pocket sized field guide was created to introduce visitors to our pristine property in lieu of producing wasteful advertising collateral. We hope that you will add it to your library or give it to a friend.

Three new home sites were just released at Whisper Mountain. These East and South facing home sites have thirty mile views to Mt. Pisgah, Mt. Mitchell and Cold Mountain. At times these tremendous properties actually sit above the clouds in a world of their own. From two to eight acres, their elevated positions at 3600′ afford privacy, spectacular sun rises and sunsets. Sensitively priced at 199,000 to 399,000, better views can not be found in a development of Whisper Mountains quality. These property owners will have access to the community lodge, community garden, historic tent camp and miles of hiking trails.

Labor Day weekend at Whisper Mountain found the air ringing with the laughter of our new residents Bob and Wanda Wertzberger’s grandchildren. They spent time hiking the trails along Whisper Creek, exploring the community lodge and even spending a night at the tent camp. With pristine weather that showed off views to Mount Mitchell to the east and Mount Pisgah to the southeast, the days were perfect for picking apples in the orchard, hiking and the streamside trails and rocking on the decks.
Penny and Ken Hawks, the winners of Whisper Creek Cabin, the 2009 Southern Living Choose Your Home Giveaway, were also in residence for the week with their extended family from North Carolina. The Hawks are from the New Orleans, and very generously prepared a jambalaya feast at Sky Valley Lodge for their friends and the Whisper Mountain team. The spicy meal was perfect for the cool evening spent watching the sunset over the mountains and enjoying the beautiful cool evening weather.
We enjoyed a perfect Friday night with a fireside meal on the outside terrace at the lodge. With a full moon over the mountain, firelight bouncing off the stone, and candles spreading their warm glow, we were tempted to spend the night right there on the terrace! Honestly it was one of the most relaxing and beautiful evenings that we have spent in a long time. We hope that all of our residents find the time to make these kind of memories on the mountain.
