We enjoyed the kayaks,paddle boards, and the fire pit. The porch was way too hot to sleep in so we had to use the couch for our son to sleep on. Everything was well stocked! Thank you for having some fishing poles.... we had alot of fun and some great fishing from the dock!

Cute house, great location

Located within minutes from Park Rapids and 20 to Itasca. Great amenities, house was perfectly remodeled. Would stay here and and am sure you won’t be disappointed. Parking area is a bit tight, especially if you have a boat and trailer, but do-able.

Whispering Pines Cabin Get-a-Way

We enjoyed our stay very much. We needed a place to relax and unwind and this cabin on Portage Lake did the trick. The cabin itself was nice and clean with pretty much everything a person would need. The sunrise and sunset on the lake was absolutely gorgeous. Would definitely recommend Whispering Pines Cabin.

Response from VrboOwner on 21 October 2024
Thank You for staying! We agree that the sunsets and sunrises are amazing. We try to provide anything we would enjoy during a relaxing stay, so we are open to new ideas. We have lots of yard games, games, movies, paddle boards and kayaks, life jackets, swim raft, fire pit area, outdoor lights, grill and outdoor tables, a few toys and art supplies for children, adult coloring and word puzzle books, as well as a variety of books for reading.

Enjoyed our stay

We enjoyed the amount of space for all of us to spread out during our stay. The listing did have a hot tub but there wasn’t one and we were disappointed by that. It was still a great stay.

Thanks for the positive review. If you could share with us the details of where you found the listing with a hot tub, we would like get that cleared up. We have never had a hot tub and if there is a duplicate listing, we can get that addressed. Thanks again for coming to stay.
