The "Chain" Reaction Retreat = Splendor, Grandeur, and everything Waupaca!
The Chain Reaction Retreat caters to just about anyone, whether it be a couple, family of four, or a bachelorette/bachelor party. It is located between Otter and Taylor Lakes by the primary boat landing, and is across the street from the water.
There are many hosting areas throughout the property. This includes the main living room, the downstairs with wet bar, and the back patio which has a year-round Gazebo Style bar (O'Bryan's Pub) with lots of windows to let in the light.
Relax in the courtyard style patio, or enjoy beverage in O'Bryan's Backyard Bar! Free firewood for the firepit outside!
***Please CONSULT with Host concerning your PET prior to booking. ***
O'BRYANS PUB: Built in 2018, we transformed the mother-in-law suite into a bar heated by a pellet stove and other amenities such as a 55 inch HD Samsung TV with full access to apps and sports programs. 100 year old barnwood creates an accent wall, providing for a true Wisconsin feel. The WIFI password will be provided upon booking. Wood and pellets are free and you can burn as much as you would like during your stay. The pellet stove works as easy as pushing an off and on button.
INSIDE: There are two bedrooms on the main floor, both with queen beds. There is a charming modern bathroom that has a walk-in "rain style" shower, heated floors, and a whirlpool bathtub. Further, there is a master full bathroom and a half bath in basement. The basement pairs as another bedroom due to the egress window which contains another Queen bed.
There are three couches throughout the home, one of which slides out to a bed. This would accommodate sleeping for four if needed.
TV's: All TVs in the house are Smart Samsung 4k HDTV with access to all apps.. The downstairs TV is smart via Roku.
OUTSIDE: The home sits on .71 acre lot that you will have access to. Woods align the backyard that connect to another lake providing for an intimate and private setting. The space includes a large firepit with court yard style outdoor lighting hanging between the home and garage for ambiance. There is a remote for the lights that can be dimmed and on a timer.
BOAT LAUNCH: The main boat landing for the Chain on Taylor Lake is walking distance. One can easily drop their water recreational vehicle off at the landing and park back at the house without issue. This avoids long walks in between docking as this landing gets extremely busy in summer where people park miles away. Not to mention you avoid the launch fee altogether.
In essence, this is a great location for easy access to the main Waupaca Chain of Lakes' boat landing, shops, and bars with a private backyard to kick back and relax...
Thanks for looking!

We really enjoyed our stay and hope to be back someday. My husband rarely sleeps well away from home and he said he had a very restful sleep...so did I.
My husband and I came to do some kayaking, we couldn’t beat the location. We were so close to the launch, close to restaurants and bars for a bite to eat. The property has a nice outside space for lunching outside and a really nice fire pit to hangout around. Overall we had a nice experience staying at the “Chain” reaction.
