Waupaca, Wisconsin
Happy Ours is the original name of our cozy cottage that is a small single story original cottage on Dake Lake (Part of the Chain O' Lakes) in Waupaca, WI. We can sleep 4 people comfortably with 2 bedrooms (1 full size bed and 1 -twin size bunk bed). We do have an additional twin daybed in the living room as well for overflow. Our cottage is quaint and small and meant for one couple, or a small single family looking to getaway and relax on a quiet lake.
Dake Lake is a quiet no wake lake with access to the rest of the busy parts of the chain just around the bend. The famous Wheelhouse Pizza and Scoopers Ice Cream Shop are within walking distance from our cottage. The cottage has been renovated and completely updated inside. We also have a very large back deck overlooking the lake with plenty of seating and a gas grill for cooking and gas fire pit to enjoy at night. Our lakefront offers a shallow hard bottom sand beach. We allow our guests to also use our canoe and 4 kayaks (2 adult and 2 teen size), beach toys, and water floatation devices during their stay. We also have space on our pier to park a boat should you want to rent one from a local marina or bring your own for your stay.
We will provide clean sheets for all the beds, but please plan to bring the remainder of your linens/blankets (towels for kitchen, beach, bath). We do not have a washer or dryer at the house so please plan accordingly. There is a laundry mat nearby if needed.
Unfortunately, we are no longer allowing pets of any size or type in our rental. We are sorry for this inconvenience.
Had a good time on the Chain
This was our second time staying here. We love the character of the cabin and the up north feeling that it gives us. Kids spend hours on the hard sand frontage. Planning on going back again next year!
My husband and I stayed a week at Tiffany’s cottage and it was a wonderful stay. The cottage is decorated nicely and it was clean and neat. The back deck was very relaxing with a pretty lake view. The no wake lake made it nice to go out on the kayaks. The cottage had everything we needed. We would go back again.
The cottage was cozy, charming & clean. It's apparent a lot of thought went into making this cottage the perfect getaway. Our stay was so peaceful & relaxing. The large deck provided magnificent views of the lake. We enjoyed the daily use of the kayaks that were provided in the rental. The neighbors were also very pleasant! Tiffany was extremely helpful durng the rental process & responded quickly to any questions that I had. We hope to stay again. Highly recommend!!
The cabin was perfect for our family with two young kids. It had everything we needed except the items we were told to bring like towels and blankets. Tiffany was great to work with and the check-in process was easy. The location on a secluded lake is ideal and the neighbors were very friendly. We would definitely stay here again.
Great little cabin. Awesome view. We would definitely recommend this rental.
The property was everything we needed for a 4 night stay with our two daughters. Check in process was easy and Tiffany's house instructions were very helpful!
We had a great stay at Happy Ours! Our 5 and 7 year old girls played by the shore for hours everyday. It was perfect for the size of our family. Neighbors were very friendly as well
We had a wonderful time staying at Happy Ours cottage! Check-in was super simple, and the sweet little cabin couldn't have been nicer. Everything was neat and clean, with a huge deck where we spent most of our time (when we weren't swimming). The location can't be beat! Neighbors were welcoming, and the host of Happy Ours kindly answered any questions we had. We'd love to stay at this great cottage again...we made a lot of great memories, and felt relaxed and cozy during our time there!
This is a very cozy cabin. We stayed with 2 kids and 2 adults. The main attraction here is the great swimming area with sandy bottom and a little beach. We spent most of our time on the lakes, kayaking and swimming. The location is ideal for reaching any of the lakes by boat. The kids loved the loft and bunk bed. Mom and dad are both tall, so the double bed was a little crowded, but we knew that coming into it. Note that while linens are included, blankets are not, so make sure to leave a little space in the car for your blankets. The grill was functional but not really usable. All the other amenities were totally serviceable. We had a great time!
This cute little cottage provided then perfect home base for our week-long visit with family in the area. Love how close it is to The Wheelhouse and Scoopers. The neighbors were very friendly and understanding of our early-rising children. Although the weather was rainy we did get a sunny warm day and the kids were able to swim in the shallow water by the dock. The beach area is small but sandy and perfect for our little ones 10/10, would recommend! :)
