our story

dreams come true…

Thanks for visiting our website! We’re the Renkes family, and to say we’re thrilled that you found us would be putting it mildly…

Our story started years ago, when Josh was just a child. Most of his summer days were spent living the resort life, as the nephew of Whispering Pine’s owners. The resort was eventually sold in 2000. After multiple changes in ownership, Josh’s lifelong dreams to bring the resort back into the family became our reality in May of 2018.

Our goal will always be to maintain the same authentic feel that our resort’s guests have come to love. However, when you visit you’ll likely notice some exciting changes we’ve put in place to enhance your stay and make your experience here more memorable.

While you’re here, we invite you to relax and make yourselves comfortable! Let our resort be your Northwoods home away from home. And, please don’t be strangers. Stop in and say “hi” anytime. You never know, we might have already met…way back when!
