We had a great stay! The house was funky and cute and had plenty of space for us and another family. The kids loved the big field and catching an endless supply of grasshoppers. They also loved the big climbing tree and swings. The outside was nice to sit and drink your coffee and let the kids run wild. The town was close and had some great little restaurants and icecream shops.

The setting is serene and spacious with a large private acreage descending to the Colorado River but better described as a wide, moving stream by late July. It's a lovely area for children of all ages as the cows and horses were in a neighbouring field and were curious as to why the five children were mooing at them so came closer to the barb wire fence to investigate. The grounds had an abundance of large flat bottomed swings hanging among flowering trees where children ages 3 to 14 could lie down in pairs and swing easily together at the top of a gentle hill. Croquet was available and worked well for adults playing with their children. Inside board games were a treat for group activities with parents and grandparents.Rental equipment was available from a nearby outlet if one was interested in kayaking. The younger children loved the higher bunk beds with railings to provide security at night and it was a treat to be above older cousins on the lower beds.Access to balconies allowed one to eat outside or to just view the green fields, river and flowering shrubs and trees.Photo be added below...

The staff at Aggieland was helpful, professional, and made the check-in process easy. The property is beautiful with plenty of outdoor seating. The family favorite was the night sky lit by stars. Thankfully we took the telescope. Wonderful stay!

I've stayed at Whispering Winds several times and love it every time. My girlfriends and I have spent our annual girls trip there the last 3 years and enjoy it more and more each time we stay. We leave there relaxed and full of great memories. The house was already beautiful but with all of the changes its even more beautiful. I can't wait for our girls trip this summer!!!
