Whispering Oaks on West Lake Sylvia

We had a great time during our stay. There were so many great amenities, the space was clean and cozy and the hosts were super friendly and easy to communicate with.

Awesome place. Loved our time there.

We thoroughly enjoyed our week long stay. The place was excellent, clean, and had everything we needed. The hosts were very accommodating and responsive when we had a question.We enjoyed morning coffees on both the dock and deck. The lake was beautiful.

Lake Sylvia is beautiful and we enjoyed every minute. The beds and bedding were very comfortable. We had everything we needed and Tom was a gracious and helpful host.

When you stay somewhere and you never want to leave should tell you what you need to know about this lovely place! It is a place that is so much fun for every age and will check every box on your lake wish list! Tom, the owner, couldn’t have been any nicer and demonstrated what it means to “Love your neighbor”?

We had an amazing week staying at this property! Check-in was a breeze. It was clean and well stocked. Tom was available for any of our needs, and always very eager to help. We all thoroughly enjoyed the lake and available amenities: kayaks, paddle board, paddle boat, water trampoline, etc. Our kids loved playing in the sand area, and they even provided some sand toys. They were very accommodating about letting us rent a boat and tie it up to the dock. The lake is the best in the area - so clean and clear. Great views of the lake from the deck area. Definitely recommend!!

We stayed from June 15-21. The weather could’ve been better, but we still had a great time. Tom was their upon arrival and answered all of our questions. He was very friendly. The cabin was very clean and the perfect size for our small family. It had all the household essentials we needed. They even left us a s’more kit as a gift. The beds were super comfortable. We spent most of our time on the deck enjoying the lakeside view. There was new loon family in our bay that we enjoyed watching. Fishing was great even right off of the dock. Caught lots of sunfish and bass. We were able to keep our boat at their dock all week and it was easy to find the public access. They provided lots of water toys. We enjoyed the kayaks and paddle boat. There was a nice gas grill for BBQ’s. They even provided wood for fires. I definitely would recommend staying here.

We could not have been more pleased with our stay. The cabin was very clean and had everything we needed. We enjoyed the peaceful morning coffee on the deck and lake activities with the kids. It's really the perfect family lake destination.

Our family of 4 had the best time spending 5 nights at whispering oaks at the end of July. We were very impressed with the cabin and all of the amenities that Tom and Becky provided us. It was very clean, great location on the lake, and a short drive to town. We had fun fishing off the dock, thanks to Tom lending us some fishing rods, sunset campfires next to the lake, fun on the paddle boat and paddle board, enjoying all of the beauty the lake has to offer. We will definitely be back to visit whispering oaks again for another lake vacation.

What a wonderful time we had at this cozy lake house. From the surprise s’mores kit upon arrival, to the comfy beds, to the wonderful lake view over morning coffee on the top deck, to the water activities…we couldn’t have asked for more. Tom was very communicative and helpful with any questions we had. We loved the fire pit, the kayaks, the paddleboat, fishing, and the sound of the loons echoing across the lake. Easy to get into Minneapolis/St. Paul for the one day trip we took. But the highlight for the kids (and for the parents to watch) was the trampoline out on the lake. Thanks for sharing your lovely home with us!
