About this property
Affordable housing minutes from the Chain with privacy
Cabin located in a remote location just minutes from the Chain 0' Lakes and downtown Waupaca. Looking for access to all the fun without the cost and chaos? Then this is for you. Surrounded by 120 acres of private property available for hiking with permission and a five minute trek to the Ice Age Trail and Hartman Creek State Park make this is a great getaway for those seeking some relaxation while still enjoying all the amenities that the Waupaca and Amherst areas have to offer. Well-equipped kitchen and standard refrigerator and freezer make meals a breeze with dining opportunities both inside as well as the private deck. Low cost makes renting a pontoon, kayaks, or jet skis more affordable on the Chain. TV is equipped with a Chromecast and requires use of a casting device (phone, tablet, etc.) to be used. Wi-fi also on premise. Please be aware there is no air conditioning. Ceiling has sky lights that tend to heat cabin up. Each room has a ceiling fan and there are portable fans as well.

About the host
Your host
I am from Neenah but spent a large part of my youth at my grandparents' in Waupaca and my great aunt's place on the Chain. My parents moved back to Waupaca when I was in the Navy so coming home to Waupaca was something I always considered a real blessing. I recently moved to this property and live on sight but some distance from the cabin so if you need anything I should be available to help. I feel I am incredibly fortunate to live on this property and look forward to sharing it with folks who enjoy the simpler things and want to get back to nature in a more civilized way. I think this cabin would be great for everyone but particularly young families that want to enjoy nature.
Why they chose this property
The location is in a sparsely populated area consisting of oak and hardwood stands as well as plantation pines. It is quiet and dark (I've seen the northern lights several times now) and while not often seen during the day there are bobcats, fishers, porcupines, and and occasional bear. It is not unusual to hear the coyotes howl at dusk and, of course, deer and turkeys are abundant.
What makes this property unique
It is quiet, peaceful, serene, and affordable.
