About this house rental
NOTE: water levels are low due to drought in the area combined with two winters of low snow levels
NEW: gas stove fireplace, king log bed in master, new carpet, new mattresses & linens, dock bench & swim ladder, stand up paddleboard, 2nd canoe, 2 kayaks, gas grill
Escape the hustle and enjoy the Northwoods as it is meant to be--with pristine, unspoiled vistas, peace, and quiet. We are located on a peninsula on 200 acre Wind Pudding Lake, with 450 feet of frontage and water on three sides. Wind Pudding Lake is rated as one of the top 10 clearest lakes in Wisconsin by the UW-Extension Program. Our house is situated just 60 feet from the shore and commands panoramic 180 degree views.
You will see no neighbors and have this virtually undeveloped lake for yourself! This lake has limited public access, no resorts, so you can enjoy the serenity. The lake is a beautiful combination of open water with 34 foot depths and areas of lily pads and sedge grasses that attracts a variety of birds and fish. The lake front is unspoiled and teeming with wildlife. There is good panfish fishing and occasional perch, bass, and even northern pike.
If you are looking to stay on a motor boat lake, this is not where you want to vacation. If, however, you wish to have a peaceful, relaxing vacation with no noise and complete privacy (there are no neighbors in sight), where you can swim, enjoy the eagles nesting on the nearby island, do a little canoeing or kayaking, and fish, we can't be beat!
This is also an excellent home base to explore nearby Minocqua (10 minutes), Lake Tomahawk (10 minutes), Eagle River (15 minutes), and Rhinelander (20 minutes). There are thousands of great fishing and boating lakes in the area, along with hundreds of miles of hiking, biking, and snowmobile trails.
Our home has 3 bedrooms:
1) Kids - twin over full bunkbed plus separate twin bed
2) Guest - queen bed
3) Master - king bed with en-suite bath
Our home has 2 full baths upstairs and a main level half bath. The kitchen has stainless steel appliances, including full size refrigerator, oven, stove, microwave, and dishwasher. Cooking utensils, dishes, coffee maker, and toaster are provided for your use. The living room contains a leather sectional and leather recliner, with flatscreen TV, DVD player, Fire TV, Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, and HBO Max. . There is Wi-Fi internet and a wide selection of DVDs, books, and games.
There is also a deck overlooking the water, dock with bench, swim raft & swim ladder, hammock, charcoal grill, gas grill, firepit, 2 canoes, 2 kayaks, row boat, and stand up paddle board.

We had an amazing long weekend at Whispers of the Wilderness! We’d love to have our annual girls’ trip at this house again in the future. The house was cozy, clean and had everything we needed. The property is beautiful and private.

We had a fantastic week at the cabin. It was well appointed and the owners made the process easy. The master bed was great. The location is phenomenal. With only a handful of cabins on this part of the lake we really felt like it was secluded. Lots of wildlife to see. We look forward to renting this one again!

We had planned on using Whispers as a home base to tour the area.
From the moment we walked in the house, my wife and I had the exact same thought.
Why go anywhere?!!
Between the great view of the lake, welcoming fireplace, and charm we decided to hang out and simply unwind.
We found the place immaculately clean, and staged as if the owners expected special guests!
Tonya was quick to respond to our questions and very accommodating as well.
Whispers is a charming well appointed cabin, in a private wilderness like setting, that exceeded all our expectations.
We are already looking forward to our next stay!
Thank You Brandon and Tonya for a wonderful weekend! And for opening your house to us.

Stayed here with a few friends for a weekend fishing getaway. The house was fantastic and in a great location. The lake was scenic and even had a few bald eagles to watch. Caught some bluegills while fishing but didn't have any luck going for anything bigger. Overall a great weekend.
