Welcome to Whispering Pines on Lake Superior, our family's chosen name for this paradise on the lake!
You'll experience true relaxation in this gorgeous contemporary featuring 4+ acres of wooded privacy, 393 feet of Lake Superior shoreline, and a huge 60' x 60' L-shaped dock! Spend hours of uninterrupted time on one of three benches situated at various points along the bluff, all providing stunning views of the lake and at least five of the Apostle Islands. Or hike down the 76 steps to the water level and soak in the sun on our dock.
The home is a spectacular four bedroom, four full bath contemporary with Scandinavian styling, and was formerly operated as a Bed & Breakfast. The huge open family room and dining area boasts an 18-foot high custom ceiling beam, a massive glass wall overlooking the lake, maple floors, skylights, and a loft floored with Wisconsin knotty pine. Spiral staircases are the finishing touch that make this home a one-of-a-kind architectural masterpiece.
The main kitchen is well-equipped, with a new refrigerator and microwave, a gas island range, dishwasher, both Keurig and standard coffee makers, and endless cabinets!
All four bedrooms have amazing lake views, and each bedroom has its own full bathroom with shower. The fourth bedroom is a large suite with its own full kitchenette, living area, and loft bedroom - perfect for grandparents who want a little added privacy! The suite also has a murphy bed on the ground floor.
Step outside and you're surrounded by old-growth forest and wildlife. Bald eagles nest nearby, and the deer and songbirds are plentiful. The property has even been visited by an occasional bear and bobcat! The large deck includes a gas grill and generous 8-seat table overlooking the big lake and Basswood Island.
Within ten short minutes, you're in the center of Bayfield, a town honored by national publications for its restaurants, marina, shopping, entertainment, and overall charm. Go on a glass-bottom boat tour and visit nearby shipwrecks, visit the sea caves by kayak, take the ferry to Madeline Island, or experience one of Bayfield's many events such as the famous Apple Festival in October. You won't run out of fun things to do!

We enjoyed our stay in this very beautiful setting. Spacious accommodations with great views from every room. The dock and lake are exceptional! The check in was very easy.
We enjoyed our visit at the Secluded Hideaway. It is very clean, spacious with a well stocked kitchen for preparing meals. We enjoyed the outdoor fire table and dock on Lake Superior.Hope to return sgain.
Beautiful, spacious house, well-appointed, fantastic views, with a short walk down to a dock and swimming area on Lake Superior. There are lots of secluded places to sit and watch the water. We loved it, and would happily come back again.
We had a fantastic time in this beautiful north woods home! The views were the best - the house was lovely and had everything we needed. It was a great location to Bayfield. I highly recommend!
Beautiful home with views of the lake surrounded by forest. Every room has spectacular floor to ceiling views. The house is stocked with everything you need to stay and cook while the area offers many places to enjoy eating out. Large comfortable areas to spend time with your fellow travelers and numerous spots to enjoy the beauty on your own.
We were very happy with our stay and had a very nice reunion with friends. It was nice to have our own bedroom and bathroom. Karen and Keith were very responsive to our questions and we would definitely coming back again.
Went on a "siblings weekend" with 6 adults total. The property was beautiful and had amazing sunrises. The property supplied everything that we needed. The host Karen was very responsive to any questions that we had. Lots of brochures in the home with things to do around the Bayfield area. We went to Madeline Island on the Ferry one day which was a first for 4 members of our group. We had a wonderful weekend with PERFECT weather!
Amazing lakefront property. It was perfect for our group of 6. Comfortable beds and we all had our own bathrooms. Kitchen was well stocked and we did cook dinners a few nights. Bayfield is close for eating out, shopping and catching the ferry or taking a boat tour. Propane fire table on deck is a nice touch. And the fireplace inside was great for our one rainy day. Weather was perfect the rest of the week. It was hard to leave!
The Secluded Hideaway exceeded our expectations. the trip included my adult children, their spouses, girlfriends and friends so having my own separate suite was ideal. The outdoor seating area was perfect for dinner outside and the large indoor dining table worked perfectly for cards/games at night. The views from inside, as well as the different outdoor sitting areas and pier were amazing. When dealing with an internet issue the hosts responded immediately.
You could not ask for a better place in the area. Near so much, yet secluded and quiet. The pictures do not do it justice, will return and seek out our next trip North!
Wonderful, peaceful setting with beautiful views. Really enjoyed having morning coffee while relaxing on the dock. It was a great set up for us and 4 of our adult children. Convenient to everything we wanted to do in the Apostle Islands!
The house and master suite was perfect for our group and kiddos. It was a short distance to all the places we wanted to visit. It was very clean, very roomy and the hosts responded so quickly when we had questions. The house is beautiful and makes you feel secluded from anything else. It was a great place to stay.
We had a wonderful time at this beautiful lake house.
Everyone enjoyed the dock, the deck & the cabin. Huge rooms, fun times & a stocked kitchen.
We highly recommend this property for a great adult getaway.
We absolutely loved this place! It was quiet, secluded, away from people and nestled snugly away in the pines and poplars of northern Wisconsin. If you're looking for a getaway to get away, this is the place. Well maintained both inside and out.
Whispering Pines was a gorgeous place. We all enjoyed it. Very well maintained and a beautiful location. Close enough to town yet far enough away to give us lots of privacy.
We spent the holiday weekend with our family at this property. The home was perfect for our group and had everything we could possibly need for our stay. The views and dock were wonderful for relaxing, and we were also close enough for trips to Bayfield and Meyers Beach for kayaking. Communication with the owners was great. Highly recommend this property!

About the host
Hosted by Keith and Karen
Ever since we moved to Minnesota from the east coast in 2002, we have been drawn to Lake Superior. There is simply no other lake like it. Our family loves to visit Duluth and the North Shore of Minnesota, which led us to search for lakefront property. We soon found Bayfield, and the rest is history.
