delightful little spot. many of our party enjoyed going on runs around the golf course, and we loved the sauna and the hot tub. the open floor plan brought us together as a group, as there was no separation between the kitchen and common areas. beds were comfortable and pillows and blankets and towels were plentiful. it's not as private as we would have liked, and while it technically sleeps 8, two of the beds (the bunk beds) are only full size so rather small for two grown adults. but a delightful stay! the dog had the time of her life roaming the property

Great Cabin

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!

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.

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.

Awesome stay. Had a really FUN time!!

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!

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.

Beautiful Lake Oasis

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.

Cozy cabin with Gorgeous Lake Views!

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!

Winter Weekend Getaway

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!

Short little honeymoon stay

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!

26 Year Wedding Anniversary Trip

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.
