Reviews

Another extraordinary retreat at the Bear's Den cabin! This marks our fourth consecutive year of indulgence in the sheer charm of this rustic haven. My wife and I hold an enduring affection for the owner and this splendid cabin, which boasts an expansive yard, close proximity to the waterfront and a convenient dock, as well as mere minutes from the heart of downtown Minocqua. Shari, the consummate owner, stands as a wellspring of local wisdom and ensures that you immerse yourself in the community right from your inaugural visit. This year, her impeccable recommendation led us to a fun spot for watching a Badger football game. With every stay, we uncover fresh avenues to explore, expanding our horizons. On this trip, we embarked on a picturesque 5-mile hike along the Escanaba Trail just south of Boulder Junction, and saw autumn's final flourish. This cozy cabin is open year-round, but we cherish it most as an off-season sanctuary in the heart of the Northwoods. What makes the experience so delightful is the ability to speak directly with Shari, a professional host. Joe M.

Hello, I'm Shari, and I'm the proud owner of Whispering Pines Resort on Verna Lake. My journey as a resort owner has been an incredible adventure driven by my deep love for nature and my desire to provide guests with unforgettable vacation experiences in the heart of Arbor Vitae, WI.

My passion for the natural beauty of Verna Lake shines through in every aspect of the resort. I've created a haven where families and friends can gather, relax, and immerse themselves in the breathtaking surroundings of the Northwoods. From cozy accommodations to access to kayaks, paddle boats, and more, I've designed the resort with the guest's comfort and enjoyment in mind.

My love for the Minocqua and Arbor Vitae area is boundless, and I take great joy in sharing its wonders with others. Whispering Pines Resort has become a cherished destination where guests return year after year, seeking tranquility and adventure by the lake.
