About this property

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.

We’ll be back!!

Loved, loved, loved staying at this cabin! Quiet and private, but still a short drive away from local attractions. Beautiful property, and no bugs for being in the middle of a wooded area! I was so shocked and grateful! The owner was kind and very clear with directions and things we would need to know, there was really no need to reach out. My boyfriend and I are already making a list of things to do next time we visit. Thank you so much for having us!

Nice quiet cabin

Great place to stay if you're looking for peace and quiet off the beaten path. Cabin has everything you need. Owner was very easy to communicate with. The only downside is that the driveway could be a challenge if you have a low-riding car or a big vehicle that you don't want to get scratched up.

Lovely rustic cabin in the woods

Me, my husband, and our 16 month old stayed here over Memorial Day weekend and had a great time! Cabin is bright, clean, and the perfect size for a small family. The property it's located on is gorgeous, with tons of space to explore, meadows to sunbathe in, and nature to enjoy. The owner was accommodating and helpful. Would definitely come back!

Lovely, Would Stay Again in a Heartbeat

We had just an absolutely perfect stay here. It was so peaceful, quiet, and beautiful. It felt like we were off the grid, while being in driving distance of all the major towns. Property was accurately represented and had more than everything we needed. Accolades all around!

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.
