A Little Slice of Heaven on The Waupaca Chain O'Lakes

This property is on beautiful Taylor Lake in Waupaca, Wisconsin. The cabin has a recently updated interior and exterior. The cabin has central air. The cottage sits 60 feet from the water and the views of the lake are great. The frontage doesn't allow for swimming but a quick kayak or paddleboard trip will get you to a beautiful sandbar.
The property is next door to the boat launch on Taylor Lake so the weekends can be busy. Enjoy a day boating, paddle boarding, canoeing, etc., there is so much to see and do on the Waupaca Chain. A firepit is available for having a campfire at night. There are two wonderful restaurants within a short drive/boat. Harbor Bar has great food and live music and The Wheelhouse is known for their wonderful pizza. Behind the wheelhouse is the infamous "Scoopers" and has the best ice cream in town. Nothing cools the sunburn like a fresh scoop of Scoopers Ice Cream. Tom Thumb mini golf is also a short boat/drive away and is a great time for the kids. Waupaca has everything you would need as far as grocery and stores and the hub is only 2-3 miles from the cabin.

Great Place
If you're looking for over the top luxury this is not the place for you, but if you are looking for what the chain is meant to be this is the place. Great location, view, and everything you need for a cabin vacation on the lake. I have been coming to the chain my entire life and this house has the exact same feel as my family's old house(still on McCrossen). I would highly recommend staying here if your idea of a chain/lake vacation is 90% outdoors with easy access to the water.

Great location with wonderful views
First time visit to the chain o'lakes and we loved it! It was so fun to be able to walk to the darling village of King but also enjoyed the ease of this VRBO with the ability to use the pontoon boat at our leisure. We will definitely be returning!

We stayed at this location for our daughter's wedding. It was a rather nice stay and extremely close to where we needed to be. The weekend was very busy so there wasn't much time to enjoy what one would normally do for a weekend away.

The property was very close to the water which was nice but is located next door to a boat launch so it’s pretty loud. The owner was very responsive with any questions I had.

Cozy cottage feel.
Worked great for two families. The owner rented us a pontoon boat and he was easily accessible to answer any questions. Perfect weekend for us. This place has a great view of the harbor bar and includes being able to hear late night music from there (if desired) or close the windows and enjoy great air conditioning. Also, the big paddle boat going passed a few times a day is nice also.

Cute Cabin - Perfect Location
We rented this property to spend quality time with family and this cute little cottage was perfect! During our stay, we had an issue with the air conditioning and Grant exceeded our expectations with both communication and resolution of the concern. If you are looking for a place to lay your head while enjoying your days out on the water, this place is great! Not to mention, we were able to rent a boat from Grant that was waiting for us at the cottage. Convenience was a reoccurring theme the entire week!

We really enjoyed our stay on the Chain despite the rainy weather the first few days. Grant was very responsive to any of our questions. The cottage is well maintained and we appreciated that there was a washer/dryer available. We look forward to returning again next summer!

Not clean, awkward stay
This VRBO was not clean. Upon arriving I washed all of the mattress pads as they were visibly soiled. The floors looked dirty, and a few hours after our infants crawling around on the ground their knees were black. Pretty disappointing to have to wash the floors after paying a cleaning fee. The kitchen supplies were minimal and dirty. We totally forgot to set the cans on the curb on garbage day, which was our fault, but clearly we weren’t the first ones. There were four cans filled with garbage from prior renters containing maggots left in the garage that the owner asked us to take care of. We disposed of our own garbage at the other property we rented since we missed garbage day, but the owner was quite angry about the remaining cans that were not even ours. We also saw the owners no less then 4 times during our 7 day stay. Two of the times were unmasked and unannounced. The owner even made a comment to my sister, saying “what made you uncomfortable about the visits, the fact that you were nursing your baby?” Not my idea of peace and quiet during a pandemic. The location was right next to the boat ramp on Taylor lake so was noisy at times. But the views and water are beautiful. Unfortunately the owners ruined our experience and we won’t be staying with them again.

Really enjoyed the property. Easy to get to, easy to communicate with the owner, really clean space and great outdoor area. Loved watching the boats go by, kayaking, and being close to everything. Grant was super attentive and communicative and made the whole thing perfect. A great escape for a few days.

Fantastic stay at this O'Brien cottage. 3 Bedrooms just big enough for sleeping, good kitchen layout. Space kept us close, but not on top of each other. Pontoon rental available onsite made it just perfect. We would definitely stay again!
