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!
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!
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 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.
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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
We loved it and can’t wait to visit again in the summer! Even in sub-zero temps it was a great cabin! Warm and cozy, extra blankets were perfect, loved the fire place and the fire pit and the kitchen and large table…and the view!!!
This was the perfect week-long getaway vacation for me, my husband, son, and dog. The cabin itself was amazing - the warm decorations, the cozy fire place, and wonderful views of Sturgeon Lake. The outdoor area is great - the deck has a picnic table and grill, the hanging lights running through the back yard were a wonderful back drop. The kitchen had everything we needed to enjoy our stay, making breakfast and dinner at the cabin.
The location is great to access a couple of small towns in the area, each presenting great dining options. The owners left some suggestions for food, and we were happy with the ones we chose. We recommend Poor Gary's, Redneck's BBQ, and Lazy Moose in Moose Lake - they all delivered on great food.
When I had a couple of questions, the owner was very quick to respond and was very helpful. This was the break we needed, and we loved staying here!
My wife and two sons (ages 4 and 1) stayed here for a little mid week getaway and found it to be exactly what we were looking for and a great option for those with young children. The cabin was very clean and stocked with everything we needed for cooking. The backyard setup was perfect with the fire pit, the deck and the view. There was plenty of space for the kids to run around without worrying if they were to close to the water. Excellent fishing on the dock, especially for little ones. We had a lot of luck with Blue Gill and Bass. We didn’t end up going out to eat but there is a golf course with a nice outdoor patio area within walking distance and the grocery store is a 10 minute drive away. We loved it so much we are hoping to make this a yearly trip!
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!
