About the host

Hosted by Sanja

Host profile image
Hi, I’m Sanja! I am a mom, wife and a nurse. As a family, we love traveling, camping, exploring nature, and discovering quiet places that help us reconnect — which is exactly why Whispering Pines Oasis was created.

Hosting has become one of my favorite things because it lets me share that feeling of peace with others. I truly enjoy welcoming families, couples, and friends who are looking for a place to slow down, breathe, and make memories. There’s something special about hearing guests say they felt “at home” or that the property gave them the reset they needed.

I take pride in adding thoughtful touches, keeping the house well-stocked, and making sure every stay feels comfortable, cared for, and effortless. My goal is simple:
for you to leave Whispering Pines Oasis feeling happier, lighter, and already planning your next visit.

Why they chose this property

Whispering Pines Oasis sits gently tucked into 12 acres of peaceful forest, where tall pines sway in the breeze and sunlight filters softly through the trees. The property feels secluded and serene, with winding walking paths, a cozy gazebo, and a large fire pit perfect for slow mornings or starlit nights. Deer often wander by, birdsong fills the air, and every corner feels like a chance to unwind.

The neighborhood around us is one of the things we enjoy most — beautifully quiet and surrounded by nature, yet close to everything guests need. Within minutes you can reach local coffee shops, farmers’ markets, hiking trails, lakes, and small-town restaurants that feel warm and welcoming. There’s a sense of calm here you don’t find everywhere… a place where you can breathe deeper, move slower, and enjoy the simple beauty of Wisconsin’s outdoors.

What we love most is how the area blends convenience with true escape. You can spend the morning kayaking the Chain O’ Lakes, grab lunch in downtown Waupaca, explore a local orchard or horseback riding trail in the afternoon, and still be back under the pines for an evening by the fire. It’s peaceful, friendly, and full of hidden gems — the perfect balance for families, couples, and anyone needing a break from the busy world.

What makes this property unique

🌲 What Makes Whispering Pines Oasis Truly Stand Out

Whispering Pines Oasis isn’t just another rental — it’s a thoughtfully curated retreat designed for guests who crave comfort, privacy, and a deeper connection with nature. What sets us apart is the balance we offer: a peaceful 12-acre forest escape paired with a warm, modern, family-friendly home filled with everything you need to feel instantly at ease.

Our guests often say the house feels like home the moment they walk in. The layout is spacious yet cozy, with large windows that bring the forest indoors, a sunroom wrapped in glass, and a lower-level lounge perfect for movie nights, game nights, or quiet morning coffee.

But more than anything, the property stands out because of the experience it creates:

✨ Total privacy without isolation — you hear the wind in the pines, not traffic or neighbors.
✨ Multiple indoor and outdoor spaces to relax, reconnect, and slow down: the gazebo, fire pit, forest paths, sunroom lounge, basement fireplace, and more.
✨ Close to everything Waupaca offers — lakes, markets, trails, orchards, restaurants, and year-round activities — yet feels like its own peaceful world.
✨ Designed with families and couples in mind — safe, spacious, fully stocked, and full of thoughtful touches.
✨ Attention to detail that makes stays stress-free: fully supplied bathrooms, laundry area, baby gate available by request, cozy bedding, and a kitchen made for real meals and real moments.

Whispering Pines Oasis stands out because it’s not just a place to sleep —
it’s a place to slow down, restore, and create memories you’ll want to return to year after year.
