  The house was beautiful and was surprisingly spacious even with our big party of 20 people. The lake was always calm and peaceful ... it was perfect for canoeing and relaxing while fishing. The sand beach was great for the kids sand castles and shallow water play. Overall the amenities were great - we had fun playing ping pong in the screened in open garage, playing badminton and the yard was perfect for bocce ball. The owner was a super nice guy, he seemed to really want to make sure we were having a great time, and then he went out of his way to mail me some items that I forgot. I would recommend this rental to anyone - we had a great time and will be back for sure!

  We stayed here at Whispering Pines with our family and had the best time ever. The place was absolutely beautiful and had everything we needed and more.The pictures of the home were all great but to see everything in person was even better. We did not have to leave to find something to do. We played yard games every day,went swimming,fishing ,walking,relaxing outside,played games,cards and dice after dark and never got bored.The patio area was beautiful and the huge yard down to the lake was a beautiful site. We had so much room to accomodate everyone. The lake was clear and we had fun touring around the whole lake and seeing the beautiful sites. This was definately the nicest place we have ever rented and will plan on going back. I would recommend this beautiful home to everyone.

  For the past 20 years a few of my siblings and our families spend a week vacationing together in northern Minnesota. This year we vacationed in the Walker area and stayed at this beautiful home located on Howard Lake. We enjoyed canoeing, fishing, tubing, table tennis in the garage, croquet in the yard and water volleyball. The weather was extremely hot so we appreciated being able to seek relief as needed in the air conditioned home. The amenities in the home are excellent, as there are multiple refrigerators, a large dining table in the kitchen that seats 10-12 easily, a pub table in the living area and bar stools to sit at the island in the kitchen. The cleanliness of the home is superb and bedding is like new. The landscape is flat, making it suitable for all ages to enjoy! The patio has a large table and very comfortable swivel/rocker chairs. The fire pit is well maintained to host campfires, make s’mores, visit and fight off a few mosquitoes. A bonus is the spacious garage that has epoxy flooring and a high ceiling (the table tennis is set up in the garage). Throughout the week we had the pleasure of listening and seeing many loons and we had multiple sightings of bald eagles. The lake is clean and there is minimal boat traffic. We really enjoyed our week and look forward to coming back next year.

  Our family heads up to the Leech Lake/Walker area every year. This was the first year, however, that we stayed here on Howard Lake and look forward to renting this home again and again! The home is GORGEOUS and incredibly spacious (there are 14 of us and we had enough room to keep out of one anothers' hair). The lake is absolutely gorgeous and super quiet! There was NO boat traffic. The remote location and seclusion from the wind meant calm, glassy water just about every day we were there. The lake is excellent for fishing and swimming and the yard is HUGE so we were able to play all sorts of yard games and enjoy the fire pit. We're all relatively picky about cleanliness (and I'm terrified of spiders!!!) but we never once had to worry about this incredibly clean and well-maintained lake home...It was in immaculate condition upon arrival! I would recommend this place time and again to anyone looking to get away! It's close to both Walker and Akeley yet secluded enough to really help you escape and relax (and the Internet worked fantastic... a necessity these days). We truly enjoyed our stay and look forward to heading back again next year!
