A high chair and pack 'n play are available.
This home was originally built with a traditional 1st floor master bedroom in mind. However, we made an adjustment turning it into a game room. With this modification, it allows the full bathroom to be available for all guests. The game room has a full size poker table, Smart TV with a blue-ray DVD player and an assortment of DVDs. We have also stocked the closet with board games and puzzles.
We have 3-bedrooms (all with queen size beds) located on the 2nd floor. There is a spacious bonus sleeping area off of the 2nd bedroom. This bonus room has 2-twin beds, a rollaway twin bed, plus a twin bed with a twin size trundle. This configuration makes for a nice family suite.
The family room has an AMAZING view of Dake Lake. Beautiful cherrywood bookcases flank the gas log fireplace. With a simple touch of the remote, the fireplace will turn on offering a warm ambience. 65" flat screen Smart TV with room darkening curtains provide a relaxing atmosphere.
The kitchen is fully stocked with the usual suspects--electric oven/glass stove top burners, top freezer/bottom refrigerator, dishwasher, garbage disposal, countertop microwave. We have added a couple of fun items--an IKITCH ice maker and a designated coffee/tea/hot cocoa area--coffee pot/single serve, stove top kettle, electric kettle, hot cocoa machine (YES, a machine!!) along with various sweeteners, non-dairy creamers, coffees and teas. Also, plenty of platters and items for your entertaining needs. The kitchen eating area can seat (6) and has picture windows with the lake view.
The separate dining room has seating for (6) with a reading nook by the window. We have a Cooper's Hawk Grapevine Decanter available for the wine connoisseurs or for the rest of us that just like gadgets. As wine is poured into the decanter it wraps around the glass bubble, aerating the wine and releasing the bouquet. The wine flows through a filter and then into the glass cone where it can be dispensed with ease. For times when the gang wants to eat together, we also provide a foldable banquet table with (8) folding chairs in the garage.
In the lower level, there are 2-bedrooms; one with a queen size bed, the other with 2-sets of bunk beds (sleeps 4 people under 100 lbs).

Dake Lake is a 35-acre lake with a maximum depth of 26 feet. Fish include Musky, Panfish, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Trout and Walleye. The lakefront has a soft, shallow bottom. We recommend going to the beautiful local beach which is about a 10 minute drive from the home or a sandbar on the chain for swimming.
Take a short stroll or drive and spend the day in downtown Waupaca, visit one of the neighborhood restaurants or bars. Enjoy the live entertainment at Clearwater Harbor Restaurant and Bar, watch the Chain Skiers perform or book a narrated cruise touring Waupaca's Chain O’ Lakes during the summer months.
The house was fantastic. The layout gave everyone the privacy they needed but also several common areas to spend time together and play pool, ping pong, cards, arcade games, or anything else. The owners included everything you could think of to enjoy a stay on the water. We would definitely return.
We had a great time on Dake Lake. The home has plenty of space and was immaculate. The view of the lake is beautiful and peaceful. The kids had a great time with all the amenities. A memorable trip!
Perfectly equipped home on a peaceful lake with plenty of activities for all ages. Thoroughly enjoyed the stay!
Beyond expectations, they have thought of everything to make our stay enjoyable and relaxing! One of the best vacation homes we have rented, we will be back!
Beautiful home with everything you need for a relaxing stay!
This beautiful meticulously organized spacious home was a hit! Our large extended family of 14 from ages 8 to 80 all had a ton of fun celebrating my Dad’s 80th! So many amenities and details to enjoy. We loved cuddling around the fireplace, fishing off the dock, canoeing, paddle boarding, kayaking, paddle boating, s’mores around the fireplace and gathering in the formal dining room sing Happy Birthday. The picnic table was the perfect size for lunch outside and we also had fun playing ping pong in the basement. My nieces and daughter thought the secret baby room was fun to play in and we didn’t need to pack anything bc every cupboard and closet was organized and labeled with all one could possibly need including toys and games. We all had plenty of space and the design of the house made it easy to gather when we wanted. Marcia was an excellent host making sure our stay was all we expected. They also had a brand new pontoon we could have rented, but the time flew bc we we were having so much fun enjoying all of the other toys on the lake and just hanging out in the cozy home. We may make this an annual tradition!
Lion on Dake Lake is an awesome property. We’ve stayed at a couple VRBOs over the past few years and this property is the best by far! All the special touches welcoming our family were a sweet surprise! The amenities are amazing all you need to bring are your personal items and Food! We loved docking our fishing boat on the pier all week. So great not to have to pull our boat out each day. We will definitely stay here again in the future. Plenty of space for our three families 15 in total with the youngest at 17! The Chain is beautiful. We have a great time fishing and tubing. Nice to come back to the house each night to a campfire. Well worth the money. This was our best vacation in a long time.
This is such a beautiful property! It is beautiful, clean, stocked with all the luxurious towels one could ask for and as you step outside to the lake, you are taken in by the beauty of nature. Having your morning coffee out on the bench overlooking the water is such a peaceful way to start the day. The game room is great for rainy weather, and overall just a beautiful, beautiful property! We were blessed to find it! It met all our needs and wants!
A large space where a dozen or more people could sleep, eat, play and still have private time. A large house with four bathrooms! Host were great. Want to go back next year.
The home was wonderful with all the amenities you would need. The little touches like fresh flowers and s'mores fixings were greatly appreciated. The views were beautiful, and we had enough space for all 8 of us comfortably. Would definitely recommend!
