This was our 2nd stay. Great property if you don’t need thrills; it is very convenient for biking, golfing, and tennis!! We will likely stay again if we visit the Cuyuna area.

For my husband and I the amount of space was perfect and the bed and living space furniture was very comfortable. We loved the picnic table out back. Distance to bike trails couldn’t have been better.

Great Place
This was a great place to stay, we went for mountain biking on the trails. Plenty of room for us to spread out, kitchen was well stocked with the pans I needed to cook (so often there aren't enough for me) happily had great cooking pans and utensils. The neighborhood was quiet. Bathroom even had sample size shampoo. Host was great at communicating. Hope it is open when we are back in the area again!

Adventures at Whispering Pines!
Lovely long weekend spent at the house. We biked and hiked and spent time with friends in the area. Terrible storm came thru one night and knocked the power out all over town. We had a picnic by flashlight in the living room. Great memories!

Cozy rental - perfect for a mountain bike getaway!
This was a nice place to stay… We will be back! I believe the listing stated 3 bedrooms, but really is 2 with multiple options for a third/forth with hide-a-way and futon existing in the main room. I would prefer something more secure and larger for the bikes than the offered shed, but I brought up a cable and U-lock for added peace of mind. 2 large and 1 medium bike was a little cramped, but we made it work. Great location as is a short 5min ride to trailheads. Also, conveniently located between Ironton and Crosby making all restaurants/breweries available by bike and on foot.

Great place for the price!
The house was in a quiet neighborhood, though the surrounding houses were not kept up as nice. Great location for the Cuyuna bike paths (1 mile), so no need to park at the state park and pay the fee. Great location for going out to eat and to hit the local brewery. Housekeeping could pay more attention to the details (dishwasher not run, hair on the floor in the kitchen), other than that it was a great place for us to stay for our biking trip. We will definitely be back!

Convenient location
Our stay would have received 5 stars across the board, except that previous guests filled up the small garbage can. We stayed 5 days and had a least 5 bags and we had to spend time finding daily finding a dumpster. Garbage collected on Fridays only. Well stocked paper towels and toilet paper. Great washer/dryer, new pots and pans, had to buy a few utensils. Washed towels daily (might want to bring a few extra if you have more than 4 people). Grocery store is SO well stocked! Overall great place to stay to cycle and kayak!

Don, the property owner was easy to work with. Always answered questions. Very comfortable accommodations, grocery store close. Even though there was no A/C the ceiling fans provided good air movement. I would book this property again if the opportunity presents itself.

Excellent and inexpensive house for two. Close to Serpent Lake, businesses and to bike trails. House has been recently remodeled. No A/C but multiple ceiling fans are present, so it may get a little warm in the hottest weather.
