This is a motel with basic accommodations. The location, however, is great for those who want to stay overnight here to get an early start on outdoors activities in Lake County. The rooms are clean and the price is about $50 lower than the nearby AmericInn. Plus, the owner is friendly and has a great bird-feeding set-up behind the office,... More

Though the Honeymoon Cabin is quaint, the bathroom though is very small. My husband is large and was not able to use it. When I went in to cancel our reservation the owner was very, very rude. He was on the phone and berated me while I was trying to explain why we were not able to stay! He suggested... More

We enjoyed staying in the cute, clean, historic cabin on our way up the north shore. Owner was friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the picnic area, firepit, hammock, and lawn games, and location so close to the state park. The bed was comfortable, and there was a fridge and microwave. The bathroom is small. We haven't tried the motel, but... More

This is a small place - just 7 motel rooms. It's in a nice location along Lake Superior, but the walls are thin. Check in at the main office and drive up the gravel road to the motel. Room has a bit of a stale smell but it's okay - has satellite TV, MW, fridge, coffeemaker. No internet or hairdryer.... More

We stayed at the Whispering Pines before and after a backpacking trip on the Superior Hiking Trail. The rooms are small but just fine for a couple. There is a second bed and a rollaway in the room so a family with small children could have a cozy stay in the newly remodeled, clean rooms. When our scheduled ride to... More

We have repeatedly stayed at the Whispering Pines for many years, it is like coming home to friends. Rooms are not fancy but clean, great view of Lake Superior next to Tettagouche State Park. You could walk to the park from the hotel. Several trailheads for the Superior Hiking Trail are within a mile of the hotel also. The hotel... More

We reserved two rooms at the motel. Very clean rooms. Everything worked fine except the TV remote control. Owner answered my email promptly and reserved rooms for us without a problem. Not a fancy place, but convenient and reasonably priced. A little road noise from the highway but not too bad. More
