We loved our time at Whispering Pines. The cabin was cozy and welcoming, and had everything we needed. The location was beautiful right on the water and we saw lots of wildlife on the lake. The hosts were very communicate before and during our stay and answered all of our questions quickly. They even recommended some local places to visit and they were great!
Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication
We had a lovely stay at Whispering Pines. Beautiful view with gorgeous early morning sunrises over the lake from the bedroom window.
The cabin was very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed being able to kayak the lake conveniently. The sauna was also a nice treat. Sitting on the dock amongst the tall pines was relaxing.
Beautiful cabin and scenic location. Stayed 5 nights and enjoyed every one of them. We used all the water "toys" and equipment, as the weather was perfect for kayaking, paddle boarding, and just floating on the "lily pad float". Caught some bluegills off the dock, so the little guy had fun fishing. Great stay for a small family or group. Smores over the campfire sealed the deal. We'll be coming back!
This cabin was perfect for our group of 7 adults. It was clean and comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook all our meals. We enjoyed all the water toys and the sauna. The fire pit was nice and the lights in all the trees were pretty!
Our family rented the cottage for one final trip before sending the kids off to school. We enjoyed the sauna, fishing, paddle boarding and just being together. We will definitely be back.
We had a lovely time in the area. The near by golf course was an added plus! The cabin was clean and cozy. The lake was beautiful! Brian was very responsive when I reached out with a couple questions. Really well out together place! Lovely fire pit. Wish we had had time to enjoy the sauna.
Our family of five stayed over New Year’s Eve weekend. The house is so cozy, the kitchen beautiful, the fireplace lovely. We enjoyed the sauna and walks on the frozen lake. We will be back for sure!
Spent a week enjoying the lake life. This cabin was perfect for an our family (2 adults, 3 teens). Although didn’t spend a ton of time indoors-the cabin was nice, clean, and comfortable. The outdoor area was incredible. The views are amazing, the lake was easily accessible.
Fishing, swimming, and the included water toys keep everyone busy and entertained all day.
We will definitely look to stay again next time we are in Minnesota.
Perfect location for our trip of three friends as we spent time here in August. We hadn't planned to get in the water although it looks very inviting and we enjoyed watching others out on their boats. It's beautiful for sitting outside having coffee in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening. Lots of birds to see. The nearby town of Moose Lake is easy access and had everything we needed. Great location for going up to Duluth for a day trip too. Highly recommend!
My partner and I enjoyed a winter weekend getaway at Whispering Pines and can’t wait to book another visit! The cabin is cozy - we especially loved the fireplace and sauna. We also enjoyed cooking in the nice kitchen and there’s nothing quite like eating with a beautiful lake view! The local grocery store was a short 8 minute drive away and we also enjoyed stopping for dinner at Doc’s, a local fave. With the golf course a short walk down the road, we’ll definitely book a stay in the summer to enjoy a few rounds of golf and time at the lake. Thank you for sharing this great spot!
We absolutely loved our stay at Whispering Pines. This cabin was perfect for our family and had everything we needed. Our adult/teenage kids loved all the lake toys and yard games. The cabin was so comfortable, it truly felt like home. We didn't want to leave. We would absolutely stay again!
The cabin was beautiful. A mix of modern kitchen with cabin rustic feel and a sauna and fireplace to enjoy. Secluded and private spot was just what we needed.
Very easy to check in and out. Communication was great. Having the water toys on site was awesome - saved us from having to bring our own. Nice clean little lake. Loved the golf course being so close. Neighbors were a little closer than we expected based on pictures, but everyone was nice. Cabin size was perfect for 2 adults and 2 teenage kids. Beds were comfortable and cabin was stocked well. I would imagine this cabin would be lovely during the winter months also. We enjoyed a very relaxing vacation at this cabin. Thank you for sharing.
After we got married, we wanted to sneak away for a few days. Luckily we found this gem still available. This cabin is situated perfectly: on a beautiful lake, steps from a golf course and close to hiking trails and many good restaurants. We golfed, hiked, explored Moose Lake, napped on the hammock, played Jenga on the picnic table while we grilled dinner, and sat on the patio and had cocktails. It was fabulous! Highly recommend and we would love to go back!
This is the first time that we booked with VRBO. I was pleasantly surprised with all the amenities and supplies at the house. I brought my own coffee and found out that they had some in the house. The WiFi was excellent as my husband and I also logged into work a little bit each day. We didn't do any water activities as we felt it was too cold. We did spend a nice day on the deck where we played games, grilled and hung out with our pups. We went to the Moose Lake Golf Course Club to eat. They don't have a full kitchen. We did an afternoon of bowling at Route 61 Lounge and Bowling and had dinner. My husband is an avid biker and this trip allowed him to bike on the Munger Trail from Hinkley to Lake Sturgeon. Took a day trip to Duluth with the pups and walked around and had lunch then my husband biked from Duluth to Lake Sturgeon. I only saw a few people a couple properties over that were fishing. It was a very peaceful and relaxing vacation.
This is a beautiful lake house with a lot to love. Being right on the water was fantastic—we really enjoyed the firepit, paddleboards, and dock. The host, Brian, was always responsive and helpful, which we appreciated.That said, I’m giving it four stars instead of five for a few reasons that future renters might want to consider. First, while the location and amenities are great, the house itself is a two-bedroom, one-bath, and the price felt high for the size. The deck was also a concern—it appeared to be leaning and had visible patchwork repairs that made it feel unsafe.Another consideration is the payment and cancellation policy. I reserved in March and had to pay in full by mid-April, with no option to cancel without losing the entire payment. Most other VRBOs I’ve used allow more flexibility, such as payment closer to the stay and cancellation windows. Additionally, renters are required to either place a 3,000 hold on their credit card or purchase insurance, which felt excessive.Lastly, before checkout, guests are asked to wash towels and dishes and remove trash. While not a huge issue, it’s something to be aware of when planning your departure.Overall, it’s a wonderful property with great lake access and a responsive host, but there are a few logistical and safety concerns that kept it from being a five-star experience for me.
Loved the view, loved using the kayaks and SUPs. Loved the view and sitting around the fire pit. Deck eating was perfect. Pileated woodpecker and eagles. Communication with Brian was easy and clear.
