Castle Point Cottage is a rustic getaway full of history located directly on the Chain O' Lakes. The cottage is situated on a large wooded lot overlooking Beasley Lake. There are 2 bedrooms (1 queen, 2 twins) plus a screened-in sleeping porch with 4 twin beds. Amenities include a fully equipped kitchen, bathroom with shower, air conditioning, porch with view of the lake, seasonal gas fireplace, fast Wi-fi, TV with basic cable, DVD player, board games, outdoor fire pit, charcoal grill and a large dock with room for a boat. 2 kayaks, 2 canoes, beach chairs for the dock, water noodles and firewood are all provided.
Maximum occupancy is 8 with a maximum of 6 adults. Sorry no pets. No parties, events or large group gatherings. Bed linens are provided but you must bring your own bath and beach towels. Please note in addition to the 2 bedrooms the 4 extra beds are on a screened sleeping porch. There is a ceiling fan and floor fans for use on the porch.
The cottage has air conditioning (mini-split wall units, not central air) but it is not winterized so there is no central heat. However, the whole cottage can be heated very well during cooler weather by using the mini-split wall units in the bedrooms and the window unit in the living room as well as the fireplace. Space heaters are also available. The cottage is not available to rent during the winter/freezing weather.
Beasley Lake is a quiet no-wake lake connected by a short channel to Long Lake and the rest of the Chain. The shoreline of Beasley is natural so there is no beach or sandy bottom but the water at the end of the dock is deep and clear and great for swimming. There is a ladder for easy in and out of the water. Larger "wake lakes" are adjacent to Beasley for boating, waterskiing and tubing. The Upper Chain is also easily accessible by nearby Beasley Creek for kayaking and canoeing in a tranquil state park setting. We provide two kayaks and two canoes. Beasley Creek is also a great shallow spot for kids to play. Tom Thumb mini golf is two doors down from the cottage and Hartman Creek State Park is within walking/biking distance. Boat launches and rentals, restaurants and shopping are also nearby.
Interesting property with a lot of history. Living room had musty smell. Outdoor areas were great ! Lots of amenities/things you may need in the cabin. Bathroom space a bit challenging for couples. Overall enjoyed our stay and awesome fire pit area.
Great location, good space between neighbors. Cottage is stocked with all you need.very peaceful. However we did stay in late September when tourist season was fizzled out. Campfire and kayaks on a clear lake was a great getaway. Only disappointment was I found a dirty woman’s underwear thong at The base of my sheets when I rolled them up To be laundered at the end of our stay! So I Assume they were not laundered when I checked in
Wehad a relaxing getaway in a beautiful location. The lake life was a great time.
We loved staying at this cottage! It has a traditional lakeside cottage feel with wood floors and big screened-in porches. If you want super modern, this is not the place for you. However, this cottage has a lot of charm, was clean, and everything worked well. The fire pit area is great for s'mores and conversation. While there is no sandy bottom swimming area, Beasley is a great lake for swimming in deep water right off the dock. Communication with the owner was great.
The Castle Point cabin was the perfect location for our first visit to The Chain O Lakes. It felt rather secluded, and was very peaceful sitting on the screened in porch in the mornings. All of the added amenities were wonderful. We used the firepit and kayaks everyday we were there. I enjoyed learning about the history of the cabin and all of the nostalgia of Chain of Lakes memorbilia around the cabin. I hope to one day return to Castle Point.
This is an older cottage/cabin that is well cared for and nicely updated. There is great history about it and the surrounding area. The location is perfect on the Chain of Lakes whether you are kayaking or pontooning. It is on a quiet no wake lake with awesome access to wake lakes if you want it. The owners provide almost everything you could need for the stay except your own clothes. It was just what adults and kids needed!
We have stayed at this cabin two years in a row and expect to back in the future. We love the Waupaca area and this cabin is the right combination of getting away from it all and being comfortable and connected. The cabin is on the small, quiet, no-wake Lake Beasley. The lake is clear and great for swimming, kayaking, fishing and canoeing. It was great that two kayak's and two canoes were provided. The only negative to the property is that the shoreline is mucky. If you had small children that wanted to walk right in to the lake from the shore this place would not work. However, it does have a long pier with an attached floating raft that goes far enough into the lake that you can jump and swim right off the end and be in good water for swimming. There is a large area shown in the picture with a fire pit. We used it most nights. The cabin itself is certainly not luxurious, but has everything you really need. Including a tv with cable and internet access. Beds are comfy and each bedroom has a air conditioner/heater that when on can really heat/cool the entire cabin. We had to use the heater one night that got pretty chilly! We also love the Waupaca area. We have a favorite restaurant (The Wheelhouse), ice cream place (Scoopers) and we love to hike and bike in Hartman State Park which is basically across the road. The owners of this cabin also will consider pets, which is great. I think our dog had as much fun on vacation as we did. We just love sitting on the pier and drinking coffee in the morning and looking out over the lake. That is truly paradise to us.
My family loved this wonderful cabin! The chain o lakes area is a great place to spend a week with the family, and this cabin is our family's new favorite in the area! It is on a quiet lake that's great for swimming without the noise and waves of power boats. The cabin itself is set further apart from its neighbors than other places we've stayed, and we enjoyed having more space for the kids to run around and play games where we could see them. It is rustic, so we really felt like we were getting away, but it has everything you need to be comfortable. Over our week we cooked many great meals in the kitchen! The kids loved the sleeping porch, even on nights when it was raining. Just two doors down is a fun mini golf course, and we took the car into town a few times to check out the cute shops in town and of course to buy some of that famous cheese curd! The cabin's fire pit was a lot of fun at night. This is a great spot to kick back and relax for a week -- we will definitely be back!
We have been vacationing at Castle Point since the summer of 2006 and we love this cottage! As the pictures show, you can't ask for more secluded setting in an area where some cottages seem to be built on top of each other. Both the upper cottage yard and the lower beachside cove offer a special, private outdoor feel. Being on Beasley Lake is another hugh plus for this spot. It's a smaller, no-wake lake so while boats do come through, they quietly putter past. But, you still have access to the bigger lakes through a connecting channel: great for your kayak or canoe! Also, Beasley Lake is a great swimming spot. The cottage has a nice rustic feel. It's not someone's second home being rented out, but rather a real up-North Wisconsin cottage like you went to as a kid. The big screened in porch looks out over the lake. There are cots on one section of the porch or two bedrooms to choose from. The living room is very comfortable and has a gas fireplace. The kitchen is fully equipped for your culinary needs. Lastly, there is a firepit in the side yard where you can wrap up your day watching the embers glow.
