Whispering Pines is under new management since June of 2013.We are excited to bring this lovely antique rustic motel back for visitors to Crater Lake. Hunters, hikers, skiers, snomobilers and fishers too will find this again a great base for all the fun activities in this historic beautiful area.
The room was dusty and dirty. Front door had a space to the outside at the top to allow bugs in. Bees were outside and I got stung while my wife and her friend jumped back into car. Went up the road and rented a room at twice the price but worth it. Went back in 30 minutes to cancel the terrible room and lady said she would not refund but would try to resell which did not happen. So reality is they were not out anything since they did not sell. We never touched anything in the room only walked two feet in then out. The women were in danger from the bees and nasty appearance. Horrible place to even drive by with trash everywhere outside.

My room was in good shape, clean, and comfortable. But the outside needed attention. Overflowing trash, filled cigarette butt cans, and excess junk lying about takes away from the old school motel charm. Road noise was significant, so ear plugs were a must. Budget pricing and great location keeps this place going.

Absolutely bizarre. But I had a great experience. The two dogs and the cat were friendly and welcoming and the beds were horrible but I had the best nights sleep in like forever. The place needs a major re do and not very clean but weirdly a good experience. Except for someones underwear in the corner , room was not clean .

The good: very responsive woman on the phone who was also very informative, sharing many of the lovely features of the area. The room was also clean and warm during the cold night/morning. The not so good: very dated hotel, office was only open when I called and was a tremendous mess. Exterior also was messy, with extra junk around that detracted from the appearance. I could probably have lived with those, had the room not been so smelly and noisy. The smell was like the room had once been a smoking room and then they tried to mask it. The carpet was spongy. And despite my earplugs, the road noise during the night along hwy 97 made for a painful night. I tried to cover my nose and ears with bedding, but it didn't really help. I spent as little time there as I could.

Although it's on the edge of nowhere it is the closest reasonably priced lodging to Crater Lake National Park. Those who expect luxurious accomodations should look elsewhere, but if you are hear to partake of the most beautiful(and deepest) lake in North America, the owners are knowledgeable, friendly and well acquainted with the area. They will even adjust their satellite TV to any channel you wish. All you have to do is ask.

THIS PLACE IS READY TO FALL DOWN. It's says it was built in the 1950 and I am sure there has NO renovation since then. Outside visible dry rot on exterior, broken concrete sidewalks room doors with bedroom door locks, no deadbolts. Inside the room, circa 1950 furnishings, no A/C, visible mold and mildew and it comes with a half dozen flies. Poor internet (router has to be rebooted multiple times). Continental breakfast consists of make your own coffee and store bought stale pasties, no juice, no place to sit down. Upon check-in, I was greeted by two dogs jumping on me. I am sure this place would not pass either a health or building inspection.

Odd experience, quaint rooms furnished with antiques and unusual furniture and fixtures, comfortable beds, small bathrooms but hot showers. The owner is a pack rat and her quarters were filled to overflowing with every manner of junk. Breakfast was an odd affair, standing up eating junk food.

No air-conditioning, so you suffer until after 9 or 10 pm when its cooled off. The rooms are old and the carpet is dirty. They dont even come in to clean the rooms and out clean towels. The market outside is trashy due to hording

The owners are lovely, the location great for the crater lake area at a lower price, and the room very clean and comfortable. The best part? Their wall of VHS tapes of all the best movies that they let you borrow to play in your room.
