Great stay, comfortable and nice view on the best lake in the chain. The Terrain is rough with a steep trail to the lake. Older folks found this difficult.
The cottage was perfect for our family vacation. The screened in porch was great. Check in easy. Angie was very responsive and helpful.

Nice vacation
Nice cottage-love the porch. Nice location. For the price we pay the cottage needs updating and repairs. The dock needs to be fixed and it would be nice to have steps down to the lake.
Nice cabin with multiple beds. Master bedroom was very nice with a great wide window overlooking Long Lake. It was great to have A.C. on the day it was 100F. The refrig was large and kitchen had lots of pots and pans.
We had a wonderful week long stay as a family over the 4th of July. Check in and check out instructions were seamless. The cottage was well equipped for our needs. The screened in porch was perfect for evening board and card games.
Angie was responsive and helpful with all of our questions.
This cozy lake cottage was perfect for our vacation with our adult kids and new 3-month-old grandson. The view from the screened-in porch is magnificent. The layout of the house is perfect for families. The first floor is perfect for adults and the second floor is a kid's dream with plenty of space and multiple beds. Long Lake is a short boat ride away from great restaurants on the water. We will definitely be back!
Overall we are really happy with our stay. Angie was amazing to work with. She was so friendly and accommodating. The cabin was clean and all of our beds and pillows were cozy. We had Starlink internet service which worked great! New dishwasher and washer/dryer unit were so nice. We enjoyed morning coffee on the front porch listening to the birds and saw many deer walk through the yard. We were disappointed that you can’t swim off the dock due to all the weeds in the water. Also, the hill down to the water is not for older folks or friends with bad knees, but we made it work. We also enjoyed the lakeside fire pit. It was so beautiful and relaxing! Thank you for sharing your sweet, authentic cabin with us!

Two-star cottage for a five-star price
Advertising the cottage as "newly remodeled" is dishonest. We stayed here four years ago, so I have first-hand knowledge of how it looked then and now. The condition of the property has sadly declined since then. We paid a five-star price for a two-star cottage. I love Waupaca and Long Lake, but I can't justify staying here again. I feel misled on the front end, disappointed by the experience, and cheated by how much we paid for it.

Would not stay there again
The 1st line is incorrect. The only upgrade is main bedroom. The ceiling is falling down in the living room and about to fall down in the kitchen/dining. The dvd selection looks as though half are missing the actual disc, just a mess. The cabinets are a mess where pots, pans and dish towels are. The closet in the main bath is behind a curtain in the shower and everything is just thrown in there, hard to tell if towels are even clean. Same with the closet in master bath, just out in the open. There is NO water pressure in the showers, which we mentioned but were made to feel like we just had to deal with it. We ended up temporarily fixing ourselves. Be very careful with the hot water, literally will scald your skin! The outside could use a power washer and gutters cleaned out, there's trees growing out of them
Last but not least the hill to the lake is steep and the rock steps are sliding down the hill so pretty unsafe especially at night cause the solar lights dont work. We managed for the week only cause we already paid for it but never again.
This was our 5th time renting on the chain and our first time renting on Long lake and on the west side of the chain. It’s a few minutes more to get to the area restaurants but in return you get a lot less car traffic and people. The screened in porch was a big hit during the thunderstorms. The view of the lake is worth the price. The only negative was the cell data service and no wi-fi. It probably wouldn’t have bothered us as much (I mean we are on vacation in the woods to escape the rat race) except we had a snafu with the airline and the luggage and were trying to communicate with the airline. Did I mention the view?
Great traditional lake cabin with nice updates on Long Lake. We had enough room to have four kids and three adults and loved the screened in porch overlooking the lake and the large, clean upstairs area for comfortably sleeping the kids.
We had such an amazing time at this lake house. Very clean. Angie was very prompt with responding to questions. Our kids had so much fun as well as the adults. Highly recommend.
Great week on the Chain on Lakes. Home had plenty of room for our family of six, master bedroom was recently updated, is spacious, with a nice view . Location on the chain was perfect. Convenient to have dock to eliminate the hassle of putting the boat in and out at the boat landing that is always so busy. Spent a lot of time on the water, fishing from the dock, and sitting around the lakeside fire pit.
