Cute summer cottage back in the woods on scenic Butternut Road on Long Lake on the Chain O' Lakes in Waupaca, WI with a beautiful sandy shoreline and lake bottom. We rent to families who also want pontoon rental weekly Saturday to Saturday only May thru September. We do not rent shorter than a week unless the calender shows a partial week already has been started or its less than 2 weeks prior to your stay and the dates are still available. 3 night minimum. If you want longer than a week you need to book 2 weeks Saturday to Saturday. We "only" rent with pontoon rental. Prices discussed below.

This is a two bedroom one bath that sleeps 6 comfortably and 8 if you use the pull out couch. One queen bed, one double bed, 2 single beds on porch and a queen pull out couch in the livingroom. There is a full kitchen. Guests must bring their own sheets, pillow cases, towels, paper products and clean before departure. We supply cleaning supplies and garbage bags.

A week pontoon rental is required when renting. It will be paid for seperately between us right after booking the cottage on VRBO. We do it separately so you dont have to pay vrbo fees on the pontoon or water package. It is an 18' pontoon with a newer 60 horsepower Mercury for $600 per week plus a $200 security deposit. Short stays are $400 for 3 days plus a $200 security deposit and $100 per day more after that up to $600. The big aluminum canoe is included. We also offer a water fun package that includes the big blue water mat, 2 smaller blue water mats, 2 layout lounges, and a Big Mabel 2 person tube to float and play on for $150 per stay no matter how many days. If you want the water package let me know and we can add it to the pontoon fee. Tubing or water skiing behind the pontoon is not allowed.

The lake shore has a sandy shoreline for children to play in the sand and a sand bottom 60 ft out to the drop off for everyone to play in the water. We have a long t-style dock for fishing, sun tanning and relaxing. It is sunny on the dock all day with beautiful sunsets across the lake. The water is crystal clear. There are great places to eat or enjoy a band by boat or car along with ice cream shops and a miniature golf course. Take the canoe for a day trip to the Upper Chain or bring your kayaks and go down the Crystal River. Hartmans Creek State Park is just down the road with miles of biking and hiking thru the woods. You will love it here. Please come and enjoy yourself.

There is a short uphill walk from the driveway to the cottage and steps to get down to the lake. Something to keep in mind for the elderly and handicapped. Renters are responsible for cleaning before departure. There is a simple list on the fridge of what to do before leaving. Security deposits will always be refunded if the list is followed and the property and pontoon are clean and undamaged.

No pets, tents, campers, family reunions or big parties are allowed and no loud music after 10pm. This is a small family rental cottage with very nice neighbors and everyone needs to be respectful of each other. Thank you!!
