About this property

Whispering Oaks on West Lake Sylvia

Just one hour west of the Twin Cities and located in Flannery’s Bay on West Lake Sylvia, this updated seasonal cabin is perfect for a small family get away. There are two bedrooms, the primary has one queen bed and another with a full size bed plus a set of twin bunk beds. One remodeled bathroom as well as an outdoor shower to wash off the sand from the beach. Updated kitchen has a refrigerator, stove, oven, microwave, as well as dishes, silverware and pots and pans for your cooking needs. The furnished living room is bright and connected to the kitchen. Enjoy gorgeous lake views and unforgettable sunsets from the living room or the large wrap around deck, just a few feet from the shoreline. There is a gas grill for guests and plenty of picnic tables for your family barbecue. Go to sleep and wake up listening to loons singing from across the lake. There is a flatscreen television with ROKU, a DVD player, plus many DVD & VHS movies for the family. There is a basement lounge area for playing games featuring a ping-pong table.

Lake Sylvia is known for its crystal clear water and beautiful lake shore. Enjoy great swimming and good fishing from the dock…mostly bass and panfish. Guests have access to kayaks, a paddleboat, a swim raft/tube, plus many other water toys. Also, there is a fire pit on the sandy beach for bonfires and making S’mores.

Perfect
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.

Wonderful whispering oaks!
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.

Gem of a place!
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!

Top Notch Spot
Tom has the perfect property to rent. The space is cozy and exactly what you are looking for in a lakefront property. Great outdoor space and enough room inside to be comfortable without wanting to spend your entire time indoors. Plenty of water toys for kids to play with and the water trampoline was a big hit for all ages. Tom was very responsive and helpful with the few questions we had. Would certainly recommend staying here and we would like to stay again when we visit!

Lake Front Property that will exceed your expectations
This property was a perfect week away with family with every detail thoroughly thought out. It was a week whereby the devices went by the wayside without a thought or request. The small bay provides a peaceful waterfront, with loons to welcome you! Adults will love the serenity and view, while the teens will adventure out on the kayaks and paddle boat and end with some trampoline raft suntanning. Should anyone get bored, which seems unlikely, the paddle boat, bubble hockey, ping pong and games inside are available. The bonfire pit was right there with dry wood and a bucket with kindling and starter. Life jackets are available as well for peace of mind too. In our summer weekend this was never an issue for us! The house is completely clean with high-quality linens throughout. The towels were thick and plush for inside and at the beach. And don’t forget the little extras like the s’more kit, the fresh scrubber for your dishes or the well stocked dish assortment plus more. Truly, the best VRBO we have been to.
