Updated fully furnished 2 bedroom heated lakefront cottage on McCrossen Lake, Waupaca Chain O'Lakes. Slleeps 6. Quiet dead-end road with beautiful towering white pines.

Wonderful spot!

This property is great! Clean and really close the water. There are 4 units next to each other and each have their own deck area with table and fire pit. Everything inside is updated and super cute. Plenty of room for 6 adults. The water has a sandy bottom beach and it's very clean. We saw lots of fish, a turtle, and plenty of bird life. I will definitely be staying at the Pine Inn Cottages again. Also really close to town if you need any supplies. Nancy and Al the owners were quick to respond to all my questions before I arrived and very accommodating.

Charming and Comfortable.

The inn was exactly what my fiancé and I were searching for! We were visiting the area due to a wedding that was happening in Waupaca, and we wanted our own little retreat to go pack to. The cabin was comfortable and has everything we needed. It was great for cooking meals, and it was the best view out of any of the travelers that stayed in The area. Al and Nancy were so hospitable and flexible with our needs traveling from California. We are definitely looking forward to returning in the years to come!

Great experience

Can't beat the location. Nice beach and a little playground were hits with the kids. The owners provided lots of outdoor extras to make it a really enjoyable experience. Use of a paddle boat, swim platform, Smores sticks, outdoor water toys, etc. It was a nice getaway. We'll be back.

Quiet and nice weekend getaway!

We enjoyed our weekend getaway at Nancy and Al's place. The lake is so beautiful, and the cottage was very cute. It had everything we needed for a little relaxation. We would recommend them and their properties for anyone looking for a hassle free rental for a little vacation!

Host profile image
My parents purchased the Pines Inn in 1963. We have owned and operated this property since then. it is my privilege to be able to own and operate it at the present time. We have welcomed groups of families, individuals, and are happy to share our precious waterfront with them. We are on our 4th generation of many groups.

Why they chose this property

Crystal clear water, great water, great beach, solid sand bottom swimming area. Large dock on a quiet slow no-wake lake. Updated and modern comfortable units located on the water's edge, but with cottage charm. Fire pit, charcoal grill and patio furniture provided.

What makes this property unique

Perfect for small or large groups, each unit sleeps 6 people. Great place to accommodate guests in the spring and fall
