About this property
Cozy Updated Lakefront Cottage on the Waupaca Chain O'Lakes #1
Updated fully furnished 2 bedroom heated lakefront cottage on McCrossen Lake, Waupaca Chain O'Lakes. Sleeps 6. Quiet dead-end road with beautiful towering white pines. Enjoy boating, swimming and fishing on slow no-wake McCrossen Lake. Renowned for its crystal clear water, the 24 spring fed lakes of the Chain O'Lakes have been called the Killarneys of America. Ideal for paddle-boarding, kayaking, or a cruise on a pontoon boat, sailing and water-skiing. Large dock with swimming raft accommodates boat parking and great swimming. Solid sand-bottom swimming area with a sand beach for the little ones to play on. Just 2 hours north of Milwaukee and 4 hours north of Chicago area.
There is a fire pit ready for s'mores and relaxing in the evening, charcoal grills for cooking out, and lawn chairs. Close to restaurants, boat liveries and shopping. Near Hartman Creek State Park, and Turners Farm Market where you can purchase fresh fruits and vegetables daily. Don't forget to try their famous corn on the cob.
