About this property
A Little Slice of Heaven on The Waupaca Chain O'Lakes
This property is on beautiful Taylor Lake in Waupaca, Wisconsin. The cabin has a recently updated interior and exterior. The cabin has central air. The cottage sits 60 feet from the water and the views of the lake are great. The frontage doesn't allow for swimming but a quick kayak or paddleboard trip will get you to a beautiful sandbar.
The property is next door to the boat launch on Taylor Lake so the weekends can be busy. Enjoy a day boating, paddle boarding, canoeing, etc., there is so much to see and do on the Waupaca Chain. A firepit is available for having a campfire at night. There are two wonderful restaurants within a short drive/boat. Harbor Bar has great food and live music and The Wheelhouse is known for their wonderful pizza. Behind the wheelhouse is the infamous "Scoopers" and has the best ice cream in town. Nothing cools the sunburn like a fresh scoop of Scoopers Ice Cream. Tom Thumb mini golf is also a short boat/drive away and is a great time for the kids. Waupaca has everything you would need as far as grocery and stores and the hub is only 2-3 miles from the cabin.

About the host
Hosted by Grant O'Brien
We grew up in the area and moved away for college. We spent a few weekends on the chain and were quickly hooked. We spent 1.5 years on the pontoon out there and knew we wanted to have a family cottage on the Chain to help us escape from our hectic lives.
Why they chose this property
This property caught our eye because it had so much potential and just wasn't given the care that it needed. I grew up restoring homes with my dad and working for uncles in construction so the home just seemed like a great fit. With both of us enjoying live music we spend many lunches at Harbor Bar across the lake listening to their live bands and always have a great time.
What makes this property unique
The morning sunrises are great across the lake. We have spent many mornings drinking coffee and enjoying a quiet morning before the kids wake up. The lakes are the clearest in the area and there is so much to do on them. The night time around a campfire is a great way to unwind from a long day and the views of other fires around the lake are beautiful.
