If you are using a laptop, perhaps you could set the time where you have internet access then take it out to the shack. You should check the time accuracy every 10 minutes or so using WWV as you suggested.
I know for WSPR you need to be within 1 second. I use Dimension4 to keep the laptop on time.
Is there any way you could get the internet to the shack? Wireless router, prepaid dongle?
No doubt others will have better suggestions for you.

I use a GPS Module ( Motorola Encore) which gives Serial data in Nema format combined with Tardis software to lock the PC time.
This frees me up from the internet time servers and their associated issues.
Even works with an elcheapo USB gps module.
