The Pancakes
who we are and what we do
Jeff, Jason and Jodi (along with her spouse Nate) are siblings who grew up with an annual “Up Nort” trip with
our parents. For over 5o years, we have rented cabins on lakes across northern Minnesota. When we began
renting a home on the Whitefish Chain in 2021, we fell in love with the beautiful water and many bays and
islands to explore, and we wanted to share our love for lake cabin vacations with others.
Wondering where the name Sunny Pancake comes from? Jodi and Nate’s dog, Sunny, was given the middle
name of Pancake by their kids. When we were brainstorming company names, someone threw Sunny Pancake
into the mix, and it stuck! We felt like it conveys the joy of brunch as the sun rises over the lake (likely just after
we’ve cut through the morning glass with the first slalom ski of the day).
