Great little cottage. Clean and very well appointed with everything you might need. The location was perfect with shops and eateries within walking distance and downtown Waupaca just a short drive away. Really enjoyed our stay and would choose to stay here if ever in the area again!

Great Area for a Family to enjoy

Loved being close to all the "touristy" spots... Never drove more than 20 minutes to get anywhere! Water is beautiful, highly suggest renting a Pontoon and going up the entire Chain. Our family had a blast.

Cute cottage

Cute cottage. Well stocked. It is right on the Main Street which provides quick access to shops and a couple of restaurants. Loved that we could use the kayaks and it wasn’t bad to bring them about a block to put them in on the lake since the cabin doesn’t have direct lack access Overall good experience.

Perfect place

We had a great weekend visiting Waupaca while staying at this VRBO. The owner was easy to reach and said she was available if we had any questions or needed suggestions on things to do in the area. She also offered us an early check in time for no additional cost which was very helpful. The house was very clean upon arrival and had a fantastic location close to everything down town! I would highly recommend this property.

This was our 2nd time staying here. Great property for people who love to kayak. It is not right on the lake, but they provide 2 kayak carts and a very close place to drop in your kayaks. There are shops and restaurants within walking distance as well. Check in was easy, host was very responsive during our stay. It was clean mostly, they do allow dogs and we did find stray dog hair now and again. Plenty of towels and dishes. Did not make any big meals while there.

Great location

We came to the Chain to kayak. It was a perfect location for us. While it wasn't on the lake, the host provided carts for our kayaks and a very close place to launch that we could walk to. Clearwater harbor inn restaurant was within walking distance. There was a minor issue with the house, but the hosts responded and took care of it promptly. We would recommend this place to others looking to enjoy the water without paying the on lake prices.

Nice spot on King St!

A great location right in the heart of King. We had a coffee shop, restaurants, bars, boutiques and shops, plus the lake, harbor and all sorts of other attractions right out the front or back door. The space was comfortable for our group of four adult family members. The backyard is pretty big, with a nice outdoor table and chairs. The home had more than most VRBOs I have stayed at before, like lots of kitchen supplies and linens. The host was really nice and gave us a couple of group specific recommendations that were lovely! Highly recommend this spot!
