Waupaca, Wisconsin
Located on spring-fed Otter Lake this property features two private docks and unmatched access to the Chain. Otter is the northern most lake of the Chain and is a no wake refuge from the faster paced lakes. This prime "Old Chain" location is the perfect set-up for a total immersion, lakeside, Chain o Lakes vacation. Your whole stay could be easily spent on the end of one of the docks sunning, socializing, fishing and swimming.
The master bedroom is only 30' from the dock and with a private lakeside entrance if your midnite swim gets chilly you can scoot inside to a warm shower. The Summerhouse is able to accommodate up 9 people with the 3 season room doubling as a bedroom at night.
The home consists of a master bedroom with bathroom, shower, full size bed, draws, closets, TV. A second bedroom has the same amenties but with a queen and shares bathroom with 3 season room when at house capacity. The 3 season can be closed off from the rest of the house and can sleep 5. This room has 25' of windows facing the Lake. A library and piano occupy 1/2 the living room with a reading -TV area the rest. The dinning room has great views of the lake and is open to the full kitchen and a breakfast nook.
When rented by 2 couples the 2nd bedroom becomes a suite with its own private lakeside entrance and bathroom with tub and shower. What could be better
When a 3rd bedroom is needed the 3 season changes easily to a bedroom and is the preferred sleeping spot for kids. With the windows open they can hear fish jumping, frog croaking and owls asking their usual questions.
At the lakeside campfire pit the children will be able to roast hotdogs and marshmellows providing themselves with nutritious meals while Mom visits nearby boutiques, antique shops and the Clear Water Harbor Bar.Add the pontoon boat and your stay on Otter will be a vacation that will be always remembered and hopefully repeated.
The Chain and Waupaca area have been a premier destination for over 160 yrs. The area's beauty inspired Gen. Phil Sheridan to put forward the idea of providing Wisconsin's Civil War veterans a home to retreat to in their old age and maybe escape some terrible memories of that awful war. The Grand Old Army Home-known today Veteran's Home at King- came from this idea. All who visit the area should set aside some time to visit King and thank those who make vacations possible.
