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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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!

Great cabin on a dead-end road. Lots of activities for everyone, and a comfortable stay for the whole family. The kitchen has been remodeled and was well stocked with equipment. Perfect for our family of 4! Great fishing off the dock, and easy access to restaurants and grocery stores in Moose Lake.

Beautiful Lake & Comfortable House

This house was perfect for our family! My favorite part was the great view of the lake. Plus, by mid-day the dock is shaded, so my kids and I were able to enjoy the water and the dock in shade. If you want sun you can go a little further out (the lake is shallow for a ways beyond the shore). The mature trees provide excellent shade from intense summer sun. It's a beautiful place to relax in summer. There was a breeze off of the lake for our entire visit, swinging in the hammocks was cool, and bug free. The neighborhood was so quiet, great for sleeping, fishing, quiet reading. The listing says it can sleep 8, but I think the house is ideal for 4-6 people. The dining room table really could fit 8, as could the big living room sectional.
