MORE DETAILS:

The neighborhood is peaceful and quiet, and you can relish being out in nature, while at the same time being close to town.

Our chalet sits on nearly three acres, which include a well-kept yard, a play set, a garden area, a koi pond, a wooded area, and the lakeshore. While a few things, including the pole barn, are not open to guests (yet!), you are free to roam the rest of the property.

The chalet is a two-story house with a basement, so be aware that there you will have stairs to navigate. There are only three stairs to get into the house.

With an open concept design, the chalet has two bedrooms and two bathrooms off the living room on the main floor, and two bedrooms, one bathroom, and the loft on the second floor.

*On the main floor, The Thicket (master bedroom with an en suite bathroom) has a king bed with a Dream Cloud mattress and a fold-down couch (perfect for a child). There is plenty of room here to set up one of the two on-site pack-n-plays for a baby as well.

*Also on the main floor, The Bear Den (a cozy bedroom) has a queen bed with a Nectar Premier mattress.

*On the second floor at the top of the stairs, Fox Hollow (a large bedroom) has a queen bed with a Dream Cloud mattress and a full-size log bed.

*Also at the top of the stairs is the loft area where there is a full-size futon.

*At the end of the hallway upstairs is The Pond Room (a second master bedroom), which has a king bed with a Nectar Premier mattress and a queen bed as well.

GUEST ACCESS

You will have access to most of the property, excluding the wood shed and the pole barn. But our pole barn will soon be accessible to guests. We have something fun for you and your group to enjoy out there, coming soon!

The driveway and dirt part of the yard provide space for 5 or 6 vehicles to park, though you must be careful not to block the part of the driveway that is shared with the neighbors.

The garage can fit one or two of your cars and is heated in the winter.

In the summer, you can enjoy our beautiful pontoon boat for rent!

You can bring your own kayaks, canoes, or water toys to our shoreline.

In the fall, you can bring your ATVs to hop on the trails down the road.

In the winter, you can bring your snowmobiles and/or mobile ice fishing house.

**Reach out to us with questions about where you can park your toys on our property.**


SAFETY, RULES, LOCAL ATTRACTIONS:

Please note: Our property has stairs and steps, a pond and small bridge near the patio, and some other features that mean parents of small children should be especially vigilant during your stay.

Lakefront:

We currently rent out our pontoon boat to guests based on availability and season. You can rent out the pontoon boat for the entire duration of their stay. **Ask us for more info on the boat rental.**

You can bring your own kayaks, canoe, and small water toys, including a rope and tube if you would like to use our pontoon boat for tubing.

Access to Fun Stuff:

Be ready to drive your vehicle, ATV, or snowmobile to the local attractions.

The Whistling Turtle is 6 minutes from downtown Spooner, which has quaint shops along its main street, a variety of restaurants, cozy coffee houses, a brewpub, churches, activities, a large grocery store, a natural foods store, bakeries, and a farmer's market.

No need to pack up your entire kitchen and enough groceries for your stay. We have a gourmet kitchen ready for your entertaining, and the local stores are excellent for buying your food and supplies.

Do you want to go exploring? Our place is about 10 minutes from the beautiful and well traveled Namekagon River (canoe rentals in Trego), and it is about 30 minutes from the fun lake town of Hayward, with its fishing museum, candy shops, zoo, and other fun attractions.

There is so much for couples, families, and groups to enjoy in this part of the North Woods! We highly recommend exploring the beautiful lakes and trails that are all around Spooner and the great restaurants that are in town and in the neighboring towns as well.

Shell Lake is just south of Spooner and makes for an awesome afternoon of swimming at the beautiful public beach and grabbing some yummy ice cream. Shell Lake has the Potter's Shed and other fun places in its downtown.

The Whistling Turtle is close to the miles and miles of beautiful and well-kept ATV trails and snowmobile trails of Washburn County (so bring your toys and enjoy the trails).

With such a fantastic location, you will have plenty to occupy you in the area, but you may even want to take a day trip up to Lake Superior, which is a little over an hour north. The Twin Cities are just two hours to the southwest.

**Ask us about outings and day trips that your group can plan in the North Woods.**

House Rules:

No smoking of any kind or doing illegal drugs on the property.

No fireworks on the property.

No large and/or raucous parties. (Please contact us directly if you would like to do a small event, like a groom's dinner, corporate retreat, etc.)

The principal renter must be at least 26 years old.

Keep the noise level down as we have neighbors close by the property.

Follow all the guidelines in the welcome book for the house, the yard (especially the pond), and the lakeshore.

If you bring pets, keep them out of the pond and off of the furniture, especially the beds, and be mindful of the neighbors and also of guests who will come after you. (Guests who leave a mess from their pets will pay an additional charge on top of the pet fee.)

Our group had a fantastic time at this home. There was a bit of a glitch with the code and getting in but owners were super fast and responsive. Everyone in our group was impressed. The teenagers loved the basement and movie theater. Kids loved all the turtles that were hidden around the house. Kitchen was well stocked. We would stay again.

We had a wonderful time at the Whistling Turtle Chalet with our extended family. Plenty of space in nice clean rooms. Wonderful kitchen fully stocked, with beautiful rooms and grounds.

This was a really great trip! The hosts were very attentive to our needs, the cabin was very nice and clean, plus a playground and small pond on the patio. I was unsure about the small lake but we caught tons of fish and there was a nice sandy bottoms off the dock for the kids to play ins I would def stay here again!

We loved our stay at the whistling turtle! Our group of twelve of my family and friends had a great time watching movies, playing games, doing puzzles, chatting and eating. :). The kitchen is well stocked with pots and everything you need to cook. We preferred the cozy couches in the living room to the cute theatre for watching movies. We also enjoyed seeing many deer in the yard! Thanks for everything! We will book again soon for next year!

3 families came together to relax and enjoy the lake during Labor Day weekend before school started. The kiddos were all teens who enjoyed the paddleboats, the firepit, and the movie room was a massive hit with everyone. The kitchen was large with a beautiful wood table large enough for our 10 hungry mouths. We even caught enough fish to have a fish fry! So much fun.

Had a wonderful week with our family (8 adults, 4 kids age 3-12) and the house and property worked perfectly! The house feels even roomier than pictured and is very tastefully appointed. It was perfectly clean and stocked with the basics as described in listing. Kitchen was adequate for preparing meals and happily the beautiful slab dining table easily held all of us. Bedrooms are set off and quietly away from main gathering spots; the beautiful and spacious master suite has wonderful sunrises. The basement theater is a great touch but weather was too nice to use more than once. Appreciated the supply of toys in the loft for our toddler. Overall just a very comfortable and quality place for everyone to gather and hang out. There was tons of space to run around and relax outside as well. The weather was hot but there always seemed like a nice shady spot whether it was the back patio or down by the lake in the afternoon. Great little bench swing to enjoy the lake view and watch the kiddos having a great time. The large pier is in a small, quiet bay that’s not very deep and dotted with lily pads. The kids enjoyed the paddleboats and the shallow sandy areas right off shore. Kids enjoyed reeling in the numerous little panfish off dock, and our 6 year old granddaughter also pulled in an exciting northern! Caught several good sized largemouth bass along south side of lake with some casual fishing attempts in a kayak. Enjoyed eagles and loons while on the lake and a few deer and fox running through yard. Firepit was put to use several times; plenty of seating and cheap firewood nearby. Privacy and the ability to enjoy nature’s solitude are important to us and overall we give Whispering Turtle Chalet a very high rating. There are neighbors you will see and hear enjoying the up north life (boating, campfires, atv’s), but nothing extended that made for an unpleasant experience. The 189 acre lake is big enough for some good kayaking and the amount of ski boat/jet ski traffic was really minimal. We had great communication with the owner – very timely and helpful, informative responses. Had a minor issue with oven that was quickly resolved. Spooner is a nice little town to wander around; the Economart is a great grocery store. Appreciated the owners bulletin board on local highlights. If you want a bigger beach experience try Shell Lake, it’s really nice. We rented kayaks on a non-tubing section of the Namekegon river. It was beautiful and water flow
