My fiance surprised me with a trip to the north shore spontaneously one day. I was a bit skeptical at first because the place we were staying was listed as a "motel" and I'm used to staying in "fancier" places I guess. We ended up renting the Honeymoon Suite which was a cozy little private cabin, perfect for the two... More

We had a group get together in the area and picked Whispering Pines because it was dog friendly. Rooms were very clean, beds comfortable and the property was well maintained. The rooms are smaller but as the grounds and deck were so enjoyable we were only in them to sleep! The grounds include a nice deck and two fire pits... More

The place was wonderful. Peaceful and secluded. It was like camping but with a room. The owner was really nice. The bathroom was the right size. What a great place for so little cost.

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 moved to Silver Bay in 2007, but have stayed at Whispering Pines Motel often in the past years and we highly recommend this motel to anyone looking for a place to stay!. Whispering Pines is a wonderful place to stay - warm, cozy, always super clean and really nice people. It is like coming home! Tucked in the woods... More
