Escape from everyday life at Whispering Pines, a dog-friendly home mere steps away from Oscar-Jenny Lake. This quaint home away from home offers all the essentials to spend an unforgettable time with your family or friends. The living room invites you to snuggle up in front of the gas fireplace and watch your favorite Netflix series or movies (please use your own account). The kitchen features all the needed appliances and cooking utensils to truly be the star chef of the group and if you'd like to spice things up, the gas grill available will do the trick. Admire beautiful sunsets by the firepit or use the canoe in the yard to explore the lake first hand.

Harshaw is the nearest town five miles north and then if you'd like a true taste of city life, Rhinelander is 16 miles away. Golfers will have a great time at the nearby Pinewood Country Club.

Great vacation home!
Quiet, clean, well-stocked. Nice firepit, plenty of towels and starting essentials (soaps etc.) You can head in different directions from the cabin and find great places to eat. Rhinelander & Minocqua both have great grocery stores to pick up what you need. Friday & Saturday nights, restaurants get extremely busy, so plan accordingly or make reservations if you can. We usually would go somewhere for lunch and stay at the cabin for dinner. I would definitely go back. Great spot!

Beautiful and refreshing
I loved my stay here in this cabin with natural, lodge style finishes and decor. It was exactly as you see in the pictures online, and really had most everything I needed for a restful retreat. The only thing that marred my experience (which I took one star off for) was that the gas fireplace had an annoying loud rattle as it was cooling off from the heating phase. I didn't call the property managers while I was there, because I was on a solo retreat and didn't want to see people, so I just put up with it. Other than that, the bed was comfortable and looking out at the lake was so restful and beautiful.

Very clean with everything you need
My husband & I stayed for a week and the cabin had everything we needed. Very clean! The kitchen is fully stocked with dishes, pots/pans, utensils, etc. - no need to pack a thing. There were also plenty of bathroom towels, TP, and bedding (not all places we've been to have offered this). It is well water, which I'm sure is safe to drink, but the smell & taste can be a bit off-putting so we bought our own water for drinking & making coffee. We caught many fish right off the pier but unfortunately there were too many weeds to just place a float there and relax (perhaps it's this summer's dry weather, IDK). When I booked I didn't notice there was no A/C until the week before we left but even with the weather in the 80's all week, no A/C was never a problem - the nights were cooler and there are ceiling & floor fans which helps it stay very cool inside. Overall a very nice experience. Quiet & relaxing.

I'm unclear if this is a lake cabin that had not been opened before me this year. A odor was present during the stay. 2)Water also with significant odor. 3)Hot water at kitchen sink but shower water never got very warm for very log?

Very nice stay. Had issues getting fireplace to work - gas valve was set on pilot. The other thing is the cleaning charge is ridiculous for a 1 night stay. Positive note is they let us check in 2 hours early - appreciated that very much.

Everything was great. Super cleanly and easy to find. Only downfall is they had several switches that don’t actually work. Shower pan, shower light, and a few other so I should probably hide electrician look into that.. Everything else was great

Quiet winter getaway at Whispering Pines
Well stocked kitchen and everything was very clean and orderly. Furnace kept the cozy cabin toasty even on the coldest days. Decorated very nicely and furniture was comfy. Only complaint is there was a slight odor to the cabin (smell like Grandma & Grandpa's house for lack of a better description). But you got used to the smell and the place as I said earlier was very clean! View from the cabin was spectacular!!

Cute cozy cabin on the lake
This cozy cabin was wonderful! We stayed for 3 nights but could have easily stayed another week. Had a little trouble with the gas fireplace at first but we figured it out eventually. We contacted the support line for help with it and they were quick to respond but when we told them we figured it out they still sent someone out the next day when we weren't there. We didn't like the idea of someone being there with all our stuff. The other negative was the low hanging light in the entryway. My fiance is 6'8" and hit his head several times on it. I'm 5'11" and barely cleared it with my hat and boots on. That being said we would definitely stay here again.

Absolutely beautiful view from an impeccably clean cabin. The lake was pristine & we didn’t see another human while we were there. Lack of reliable WiFi for tv (or even music) was the only slight issue. Otherwise a perfect place to unwind.
