Welcome to the Whistling Pines!
This charming home with 1840 square feet of space, has 3 bathrooms, and 2 bedrooms with 5 total beds and sleeps 6 comfortably.
We invite you to come and experience this rustic retreat nestled in a woodsy setting on the Mississippi River. The mighty Mississippi will mesmerize you with its sparkling water and abundant wildlife. We know you will thoroughly enjoy your time listening to the wind whistling through the many majestic Norway & White pines towering on and around the property. Hear the loons calling while you relax on the wrap around deck and watch the eagles dive for fish. Located a stone’s throw from the water’s edge, you will see all sorts of other wildlife during your stay.
** NO PETS ALLOWED**
Hop on the paddle boat or kayaks and navigate to the Forest History Center dock which is about a 15 minute paddle up river to the West. Once you land at the Forest History Center dock, you can hike the many beautiful trails or sign up to take a tour.
For those of you that are looking for a more challenging voyage, you can take a 2 mile paddle to the Pokegama Dam, where there is great fishing, a beautiful campground, park & bathrooms.
Before you go on the water, please grab lifejackets that are located in the storage box on the deck.
There are fish of all species in the river, with excellent Crappie fishing across the river in Sylvan Bay.
Bring your boat and tie it off at the dock and explore all that the river has to offer. There is a landing 1 mile West on County Road 63.
The location is ideal on the edge of town with a country feel; yet you can order food & have it delivered right to the front door!
