Our Story

Our owner, Steve Tebbe, first got the idea for Whispering Meadows when he was burnt out at work and needed a getaway. He loved the scenery and peacefulness of a wooded area and began dreaming about opening a resort there. Not even a week later, a friend of Steve’s in real estate invited him to a seminar on business plans and he took it as a sign.

Steve bought the land that is now home to our beautiful resort from his father in 1995 and built all the cabins from scratch himself. The name, Whispering Meadows, comes from the scenery; we believe it perfectly describes the feelings of quiet and peacefulness that come from being out here.

We want to offer our customers the opportunity to have a beautiful, scenic place to escape to. Our resort is the perfect place to leave behind the chaos of everyday life in order to relax and recharge. Our customer service is the best there is and we pride ourselves on offering a number of amenities that will keep you satisfied.

Some of the activities available here at Whispering Meadows include ATV/UTV trails, Guided UTV Tours, fishing, golfing, horseback riding (coming soon), canoeing (Maquoketa River Canoe Rentals), hayrides, and more. If you prefer staying indoors to relax, our cabins come equipped with a kitchenette, fireplace, whirlpool tub, BBQ grill, air conditioning, and TVs so you will always be comfortable and entertained. We even have journals available in the cabins for our guests to document their stay.

Our property covers 330 acres and has such a large variety of amenities to enjoy that you are sure to find something you will like. We have been the leading resort serving Clinton, Cedar, Jackson, Carroll, Jones, and Dubuque counties since 1998 and hope to continue that service for many years.

We are pet friendly! Come experience the thrill of River Ridge ATV Trails at Whispering Meadows Resort with your furry friend by your side.
