Steeped in the rich history of the area, the property of Whispering Waters consists of a carefully curated collection of beautifully restored structures that were once the forgotten town of Shulls Mills, North Carolina.
Developed as early as 1830 by the prominent Shulls Family, the bustling community of Shulls Mills was at one time even larger than Boone. The town was not only a regular stop along the route of the East Tennessee and Western North Carolina railroad, it held the tracks of the original Tweetsie Railroad. In fact, you can still see the train trestles on the property.
Today, the former town of Shulls Mills is a place where history and old-world charm still exist – though transformed into a romantic renaissance called Whispering Water Farms, a pristine wedding venue in the High Country.
Take a look…
The Old Shulls Home Place
Once the home place for generations of the Shulls’ Family, this home is currently under restoration. It is a gorgeous, primitive property that currently serves as a backdrop for stunning outdoor wedding photography.
The General Store
Built circa 1850, The General Store once served the community of Shulls Mills. The entire 1,900 square foot, two-story building has been renovated and restored to serve as additional event space as well as a Bridal / Honeymoon suite.
The Barn
The newest addition to the estate, The Barn, was built just 10 years ago in the French country style using native materials such as rough-hewn siding and handcrafted doors and shutters. The interior features rustic wine barrel chandeliers, matching sconces, as well as an incredible bar with zinc surfacing.
