Whispering Pines Lake House

This beautiful recently renovated lake house is located north of Gladwin, Michigan, on a quiet and peaceful private lake. Three bedrooms sleep 9 with a pull-out couch on the lower level for an additional 2 guests. All rooms contain blackout curtains for a good night's sleep. The home has a full kitchen on the main level and a kitchenette on the lower level. There are two full-size bathrooms, one on the main floor and one on the lower level. Both bathrooms have tub/showers. A full size washer and dryer are available for use during your stay. Smart TVs, with Rokus, can be found on both the main floor and lower level. A small office area is located on the upper level. A beautiful new firepit with deck is great for relaxing around on summer evenings or roasting hot dogs or smores as well as stargazing on a quiet, peaceful night. Enjoy the lake in a kayak or paddleboat, or fish from the dock. In the winter the lake is open to ice fishing for bass, bluegill, cropies and pike. Snowmobile trails are located on nearby state land. The town of Gladwin is only 15 minutes away. Visit Riverwalk Place and other unique shops, restaurants and coffee shops. The Camp Restaurant and Dollar General are located nearby. If shopping is on the agenda, a mall is located at West Branch only 20 minutes away. Also located in West Branch are top golf courses: The Dream and The Nightmare. Golf, tennis courts and a restaurant are available just minutes away at Sugar Springs. Lakeland Recreation, an amusement park with minature golf, bumper carts, arcade and more, is located in Houghton Lake approx 25 minutes away. The Houghton Lake Playhouse offers many events including live plays, musical concerts, community events and dances. An informational folder with more information is provided for our guests. Ring camera is set up on the front side of the house and the Lakeside for security and is posted as such.

The hosts were extremely accommodating and the house was very clean. There is a deer farm across the street and one day we could really smell it but the other two days of our stay, we would have never known there was a deer farm so close. The location is very off the beaten path but was very nice once we found it! Also, the paddle pontoon is for smaller humans.

Nice,quiet and relaxing place. If you plan on fishing off dock make sure you have weedless lures as there is a lot of lily pads and weeds. But overall a beautiful place.

very nice place
The house is extremely clean and is quite comfortable, and it's set in a pretty, quiet location overlooking the large pond (which looked quite clear!). Nice kitchen, nice clean bathrooms. Plenty of linens, etc. Owner was communicative. Had everything we needed. We were visiting family, so it we really just needed a place to sleep; unfortunately, we didn't have a chance to take out the pedal boat or kayaks, or to use the big fire pit, but I'm sure that would have been fun. Lots of games and DVDs downstairs. As a person with allergies, we appreciated that it's pet-free and mostly free of excessive fragrances, fabric softeners, etc (except for one plug-in downstairs, which we located immediately). Only minor complaint is that the beds weren't the most comfortable (the two queens were pretty squishy and sloping), but for a few nights, it was just fine. Note: the directions provided weren't helpful for us. If you're coming from I-75 or points EAST on M-61, they'll work just fine, but if you're coming from points WEST of the house, it seems to be a problem. We were coming from southwest of the house (M-18 N to Round Lake Road). The various online maps (google and apple) seem to think the house is located off of a through street, when in reality, if you turn onto it as directed from Round Lake Road, it dead ends right into a forest... so we had to figure out how to get to the house from the OTHER direction. No biggie once we figured it out, but the directions need to be updated.
